This is far as I got...I have started emptying the tent, and will probably need help hanging this beast.

I was naïve in thinking I was buying an American made product. Might be designed and engineered in the US, but it is built in China!! And definitely not discreet packaging.

I have a LOT of work to do!! Hopefully I can have the table all set up by evening and then hang this beast.

Looks like it's designed to run the driver remotely nice!

After much trial and error I've got my flower tent feeding twice a day for one minute. My runoff looks spot on.

Awesome! How long does it take to make one?

Still a misleading name, though
That depends on the lumber you start with. I started with rough sawn. But I had done the work planning and laminating them for ski core blanks (center of a ski) years ago. So yesterday I cubed them up and glued them vertically end grain up. Threw them through the planner again and then biscuit. Now I gotta wait for it to dry again and throw it through the planer one last time. Finish the edges.....maybe router in a juice groove.....maybe stain...maybe just mineral oil and bee's wax. I'm not sure on the edge....juice groove or finish yet lol just kinda screwing around. Most of the time involved is waiting for stuff to dry.

Started with rough sawn? You sir are a woodworker!

Folks, here's a sample of a cheap Boos butcher block.

So far I got about 1/4 of my harvest trimmed and in Grove bags. I'm soooo tempted to get one of those automatic trimmers you guys have been posting. I'm gonna check around and see if anyone close by me wants to split the cost and share it. I only do 2-3 harvests a year as I veg 60 days minimum so sharing one seems to make sense.
I love my Chikimasa trimming scissors but the eye strain and shaky hands get old quickly.
I don't like spring loaded scissors. Gonna give these a try

I bet there was lots of trial and error to get feeding dialed in. I played with my pump and manifold ,yesterday, just to get a feel for it.

I suspect there will be a whole lot of bitching going on!!

Table is in, gutter hung, water barrier applied. I moved it so I can access front and rear now!!

Looks awesome Manfredo! Is that one light going to cover the entire tent?

I don't know if this will help you, but what I did was set up the wastering system with empty solo cups, I did a bunch of testing for run times and volume so I had a decent idea how much I was putting out before I had plants in the system.

It took a few hours before I really got used to them as I had used spring shears forever. They are razor sharp and I like the curved tips with their coating to help shed the sticky buildup. I would highly recommend them. They are really wicked sharp though and I've snipped little pieces of skin off by not paying close attention to them while trimming small buds. I want to get a pair of the heavier duty shears from them for my roses too.

I currently use these scissors. I had the bright idea to cut a wire with them and damaged the blade
