What?? Easy, other than wet trim, and climbing the step ladder. Just mild out door fall temps and a small fan circulating enough air to give a slight movement to the goods. Re usable for everything around the house. Buds are easily manageable size to work with without damage or head loss.

A spool of baling wire and a small box of self tapping 3/4" self tapping sheet metal screws. Quality drying rack in an hour. Use for other things throughout the year. Frugal beyond cheap here.

Which model scissors did you get? I've been looking into getting a pair from either ARS or Chikamasa, but there are so many models to choose from, it's kinda intimidating

I believe the ARS 330HN-R and 320B-T are the ones I use. I’ve also ordered a few pairs of these from GrowersHouse and they work great for the price.

Why do you need to use a blender to mix dry fertilizer? I've been using dry products for years. I just shake them up in a bottle with hot water. Takes a few seconds. Using a blender sounds like more of a hassle than anything.

Have you used maxi grow or bloom? It can be difficult to get into solution. The blender makes it a snap and ensures it all goes into solution. Funneling 75 grams of maxi bloom into a bottle of hot water and shaking isn't for me.

Yes I've used it. I never had any issue mixing it. 75 grams in a gallon jug of hot water will dissolve without issue.

More effort than I'm willing to put into the game coach

It's really not that much effort. Less than breaking out a blender. When I was mixing 50+ gallons of solution I just used gallon jugs and hot water. But now that I'm growing at a much smaller scale I'm not mixing those volumes anymore. I don't mix more than 5 gallons at a time these days so I just use water bottles.

Here's my state of the art dry nutrient mixing equipment. Don't laugh. It works. The only thing missing in the photo is one of my lady's empty cottage cheese containers I dilute the ph down in before adding to the rest of the solution. This is about as advanced as you can get.

There's nothing wrong with an efficient setup. I can dig that for sure. I miss having a smaller setup. The bigger the garden gets it no longer represents a garden. It's a second fucking wife that doesn't give blow jobs. Costs more than the wife to keep her happy too. I began using the blender because it wasn't being used for a prolonged period of time, and I had trouble getting the maxi into solution. It seems to be hit or miss batch to batch from what I'm noticing. Some containers have large hard chunks in them that then break into smaller chunks, however my current container of maxi bloom seems to be mixing easier. I don't hear big chunks clanking around on the blender blades like the last batch. I only began using it out of necessity. It stays right at the fertilizer mixing station I setup. Wash it and toss it back on the base. Done. I used jack's 3-2-1 formula before the maxi line and it easily went into solution. I might even try jack's again. It's stupid cheap, and I think the issues I was having that made me switch to maxi was related to my tap water which has been addressed. I installed a 6 stage RO filter with DI and may switch back to jack's after my maxi runs out. GH is outright raping people for maxi containers. 50# over $200. That's brutal.
