Right on waterproof! I plan on setting up mini sprinklers or drip lines in the near future. Hand watering takes too long for me. Where'd you get the blumats from?

Sustainable village is the best source. You will be stoked with whatever auto watering system you decide to go with. Big difference in growth and so much time saved.
 
Last night I chopped my Northern Lights, fem auto. It was a runt, stunted after I tipped over the 5 gal pot when it was young and dumped a coupla gallons of medium on the small seedling. It only grew about 18".
Mindful this was my 2nd grow and I'm still a newbie.

After chopping and pulling the large fan leaves I washed the buds according to Doc Bud's routine and hung them up. Amazing how clean they look!
Then after a coupla hours I wet trimmed the sugar leaves and threw them in the freezer for later use.

Looking good hotpotato8! What is Doc Bud's wash routine? For a plant that small you probably don't need 3 buckets of water. 1 or 2 should do, but 3 doesn't hurt anything. Have you ever dry trimmed your plants? How's your results with wet trimming?

Niiiice White booiiiieeey! Do you top your plants to grow the way the one does in the front of the bottom pic or are you sectionally harvesting?

I Topped it at 2 and a half feet during veg then super croped the top branches to make them go flat then i tied down the bottom branches , im pleased with the results easyer to put a cover over the shorter ones when it rains

Here's the thread on bud washing. Doc Bud's routine is post #12. https://www.420magazine.com/forums/harvest-preparation-and-curing/200881-bud-washing.html There's over 100 pages if you have time. Really makes sense.
I used one bucket for the 'active' ingredients and two for rinsing. Since this harvest was small I used 2 gallon buckets and <1/2 the recipe. I wasn't gentle either with the wash. I had to remember to actively swish the stems back and forth to shake off the excess moisture before hanging the buds.
I actually liked wet trimming. I wasn't quite as aggressive trimming the sugar leaves as last time. I still wore gloves but didn't accumulate as much resin on the scissors. Still, this harvest was small.
Next up is Jilly Bean, Maui Wowie and Very Berry in a month or so.
