My last plants finished were regs.

You can stagger starts with one grow space with autos. Also due to my schedule the longer light periods would give me more time to tend to the plants. Once photos hit 12/12 I only have an opportunity to tend to them once a day with lights on.

I used to have my lights come on in the evenings to avoid heat issues, but since LEDs allow for a warmer temp I've been setting them earlier and earlier. It's nice to be able to get to work instead of waiting around all day. Plus I can go back later and check up on them if need be. Right now the lights kick on at 1pm, so I have until after 1am to play around.

This also makes harvesting easier because I'm not waiting until dinner time and then racing to bring as many down as possible before I'm starving or tired.

When they are ready to chop just take them and chop them. It doesn't matter when you do it.

So you think if you don’t take down a plant by dinner time it’ll be overripe by the next day?

No. The light would come on at 5 or 6, and I would chop until I got too hungry or too tired for the day. Now I can work from 1pm, take breaks, eat, whatever.

How long honestly does it take to pull one plant? Are you wet trimming it also or just chopping and hanging?

If it's just me about 1 1/2 to 2 hours or so depending on the size or bud to leaf ratio. We knocked everything out in three days this past harvest, including a day where I worked alone. I'm being helped by my dad and my son, and occasionally a friend or two. I trim somewhere between wet and dry. I buck them down and strip most of everything, but leave enough sugar leaves to where they need to be dry trimmed afterwards.

All this talk about Dingleberries. What happened to the dictionary? The only correct definition is #3.

Funny thing is my wife called my kids Dingleberries for years and didn't realize what it meant. When I finally told her, she felt like a dumbass, lol.
