Need to be self-motivated & a good planner; have a good product, pricing, & customers; have access to sufficient funds, and able to manage cash flow; know wtf you’re doing...

My advice: learn the job by working for someone else, then do a smarter, better job than them on your own...
Sounds like good advice :)

Goodies came in today. Trim bin with the micron screen, two curved gold titanium trimmers so I can enlist the waifu for trimming. Fuck yeah.

The curved titanium snips should last a bit longer than the stainless, with the added benefit that I hear the titanium doesn't get as sticky as quick. Plus now I'll be able to save kief from trimming instead of losing it to a kitchen bowl. \o/

New filter is in too, got it in the spare room until I need it. Nutes supposed to be here June 14-18, so probably gonna start working on the germination process pretty soon.

Ordered large air stones this time, those discs more or less sucked and I liked the medium blue air stones. So just upsizing a bit for a little more turbulence and such. We'll see if I like the larges more than the mediums.

That tray will be the one you remember, especially after you card it....

I was debating on whether or not to buy it...and I was like well if I trim a whole harvest on one that's bound to be a shit ton of kief laying in there, ya know? Better collected and smoked/pressed than wasted in a kitchen bowl :D

Especially with real trich heavy strains like original/gorilla glue, or the where's my bike pheno. I already have last year's fishing license sitting in the top of the bin for when I get around to next harvest lol!

I'm definitely excited about the tray though, ngl. Between that and the snips, think my harvesting is gonna be a good bit more productive. I looked at some manual and automatic trimmers too, but damn, anything worth using is hella expensive and the cheaper stuff looks like it trims worse than I do by hand, so f that lol.

Root riots soaking and Alaskan Purple seeds in a cup of water as we speak. Probably cup'em up before I go to bed and set'em in the tent with one light on. We'll see if we can't get something worth talking about outta these ladies, eh? One of the seeds sank straight away, don't wanna leave that guy in there too long. Other one was a little bit of a floater till I knocked him down some, but I'm pretty sure she'll sink before long too.

I've watched many a vid from Nugsmasher where those guys squished some of that DoSidos and got hella nice looking yield off of it. Let me know how that Black Sugar goes too, I've seen that on Seedsman before and it made me curious.

All fems, except dr seedsman & mhm? If so, looks like you’re, at least, doubling production....

Kind of am yes. The MHM is a test. 4 seeds this time just to see what happens when I put them into flower. If they make it to female only, I'll use some colloidal silver to force balls and take the pollen and sprout some more seeds to pollinate.

I'll be doing 2 seeds to bag though next run. I'm not sure what will happen with the Dosidos as it was also from the outdoor run last summer. Could be a problem, don't know yet. I only got about a dozen of them.

That Dr Seedsman is feminized.

Holy Jeebus! You have the fortitude of a Sherman tank! Will power is your fuckin middle name! I'd be all over that.... Damn I hope you get to partake once again soon bro.
I probably need to be able to pass a drug test to get a job again, so trying my absolute best to hold off until I can get employed again haha. Getting back financially stable is the name of the game right now. Some really good friends have looked out, and I probably wouldn't even have internet right now if they hadn't, and it's really helped carry me to where I'm better. I have a meeting with a lady on the 17th about the very topic of employment so hopefully that will turn something up!

Got a humidity dome? If not, can you rig one up with saran wrap and some kinda frame?
I have my handy dandy decapitated peroxide bottle and similarly impaired soda bottle that I can set over top of them when they're taller. I do have the actual top of the tray there, too, just hadn't set it on top yet.

Got that press heating up?
I don't yet, no. I want to collect a hefty amount before I try pressing it. Half scared to squeeze it and fuck it up, that's the most kief I've had at once in all of ever lol!!

Also...I won a Pulse environmental monitor thing tonight watching Dawgo's GrowTube.
https://getpulse.co/buy/
My mind is blown right now, I never win anything like that. He's like, Eye Bee Enn...and I'm like fuck I didn't win. Then I'm like, OMG, WAIFU I WON A PULSE. lol. I get 'Yay! ...wtf is that?' haha.

Got some little half gallon pots I put Baccto in earlier, moistened it up and put in two RQ Auto Diesel seeds. Give me a return sooner and keep me from feeling rushed to train the big girls once they sprout and are ready. Just gonna let these go, not gonna mainline them lol! Learned my lesson last time xD
