Trimming

Well here we are lol , 10 hours in 3 plants trimmed and only two left too go .. Ugh it's going to be a long ass night

I WISH I had your "problem"! LoL I am still anxiously awaiting my first outdoor grow to complete. It would almost be done by now if my cat didn't eat 90% of my seedlings while I was hardening them and had start over. DAMN CAT! Thank God it was only bag seed and I have more than enough seeds.

Lol sorry not funny, that's actually tragic lol.. But no you don't wish this.. I have been trimming 12 hours straight and been up for 24 hours straight .... Still have a plant and a half to go

Well aware of the arduous labor. My friend *rented* out his basement to another friend for his hydro operation. They had 80 plants per grow and himself and 3 others longest trim session was 36 hours. It was quite the set up. They divided his basement into 3 rooms clone, veg, and flower. My friend works construction/HVAC so he did all the lights, fans, and vents.
For furnishing the space for the grow he was paid 1lb or cash value of 1lb. He generally took 1/2 and 1/2. Cash for the water/electric bill and the rest to sell and smoke. I was a successful operation for a little over a year until my friends landlord decided to sell the house and gave him 48 hours notice of a real estate agent coming to view the property!!. Nearly 80% was ruined during the midnight guerrilla operation move.

That's terrible to lose all that !

Working on 15 hours now ... Half a plant left I'd say

You would be finished by now if you weren't on RIU

Lol, no way I couldn't do it, from the vids I seen it just eaaattts those gland heads right up!....why don't you just hire a trimming bitch? I'm sure you can find someone and give them a fat 8th or something

When you say trimming are you referring to harvest? It sounds like you are talking about removing the small sugar leaves as you harvest. The hand-held cola in the first picture should take about a minute or less to trim. Even though I grow smallish plants, 44-52 inches, in 3 gallon pots I can completely trim/harvest a plant in 45 to 60 minutes. Start at the bottom (unless you plan to re-grow the plant) and work your way up. I use large scissors for trimming the cola you show and small scissors to separate the buds from the stem. Having a perpetual grow and harvesting 2 plants a week has given me a ton of experience and my way works for me.

Good luck, BigSteve.

My girl is a cosmetologist and she may have it all done in 30 mins tops...me on the other hand I'm taking as long as the OP, I suck at it but I don't necessarily despise it, it's soothing to me, take some dabs, and just stink so gooood
