You ever tried a trimmer?

I've always been against them but someone i helped set up ages ago insisted I borrowed his easytrim.

I have to say I'm impressed, no damage done, maybe a tiny bit less tight than my usual in the crevices.

Mind you I'm a wet trim guy so ...

Have you tried dry trimming?....switched years ago and couldn't go back now....

Someone mentioned using a silicone brush on a dry trim....revolutionary I hear

I've got time to catch another test run and still have lots of time to do bluchi for a main summer crop.

Very cool! Honoured!

I've not heard of the silicone brush idea before.

Yeah I've dry trimmed and I hate it.
I like wet trimming because I can get a cleaner tighter trim while sugar leaf is all perky like a couple a titties.

Big fan of that bluchi mate, 5 star strain for sure and happy I acquired 2 packs!

The best two in the bunch, had an earl grey tea/bergamot aftertaste going on, amazing smoke and clearly bred well as the taste was consistent in all the plants, 8 I think.
Even the males smelt banging.
Top strain!!!

I would love to find a good sommelier to describe the terps in the same style as wine if that makes sense (I don't drink)

Now that I have found my keeper Bluchi male (named King cheese) Bluchi v3 terps will be very Blue cheese heavy....his structure and growth rate is phenomenal also.... ill post a pic in abit!

I have a trim bag

you should try a trim bag once it's dry I would highly recommend one as it's time efficient and a neat trim you have to do a little tidy up of some crows feet but the finish is great ..... a lot of people say about the trichs you lose but it's only surface if you think about it grow tight nugs and you shouldn't lose much at all

I used to wet trim thinking it was easier, idk what I was thinking, dry trimming is so much easier.

The last lot i done i averaged 150g per hour, that's flying through it for me and it's the most thorough job I've ever done trimming.

Haha... I'll never look at a wet sugar leaf the same way again

Do you have to shake the bag?

A few years ago I once used this machine that looked like a bbq and had long silicone fingers inside, you had to hand rotate the top if I remember rightly....perks of working for a hydro shop at the time lol

Yh you fill it up and shake it there's like a plastic mesh on the one side with squares about 1cm square maybe bit bigger and it just worked by rubbing up and snapping off the dry material like the silicone brush awesome investment I thought nearly as good as my Aeroponic cloner

You can make them yourself pretty easily .... loads of videos on YouTube I bought a 20 pod one tho didn fancy making one

I had most the bit n pieces handy to make a diy cloner, it's great for rooting and doesn’t leak a drop.

I've 2 lids a 8 site and a blank one should i need more.

I watched a thing on TV last week, Micheal Portillo, architecture the railways built.

He visited a place, East Crawling or Cawling?
85% of the words apples originate from East crawling root stock, apparently it's the root stock that dictates leaf production/amount, yeild and flavor size etc.

Naturally I can't help thinking if I grafted the same strain to two different root stocks would it grow any differently.

Where'd you pick yours up ?

That's what I borrowed and I'm buying one.

Not sure what the pic posted below is, seems to have a motor and its fooking expensive.
One I used the crank works both the silicon fingers and the blade .

It cut my trim down from what would be two 8 hour shifts to 3 hour.

I'll have a look and try it out.
The video I watched of a dude using it looked like voodoo

This is the same as what I got I thought it was cheaper it couldn't have been but well worth it with reduction of hours and amount of bud you can get through
