I wouldn't want to trim it but she does clean up nice...👍
Last time I ever leave fan leaves on
Normally I take everything off expect for the sugar leaves but wanted to try it this way once

Never again
Luckily for whatever reason the leaves come off really easy with just grabbing at em

I can’t find any of my scissors so I’ve been using these craft scissors which is just making my life even more difficult lol

It’s totally worth it if you can find a good manicurist pay them to do it but finding a good manicurist is like finding a good cleaning lady not easy to acquire

A 4x4 tractor with power steering and a front end loader will be the best money you ever spent. Look for a 1998-2011 kubota at least 50hp. You will never pick up anything heavy again. You can find one that is very well taken care of with less than 2000 hours for 20k or so. Buy it ithis winter on a cold day and if it cranks and runs good then its probably doing good. Level off a nice place and get those amish to build you a dream building, grow in half and park the tractor in the front. Get a small line of credit on that place and pay it back in cash one harvest at a time. I sold this one with the backhoe for 22k to get the track machine. In 2012 the diesel emissions messed them up so i would not get anything newer unless it was brand new with warranty and a dealer very nearby.

I’m having second thoughts (laughing out loud ) selling the farm I would never be able to replace it at the price I paid for it and it’s so fucking beautiful..That kind of tractor with implements you’re talking are we talking $20,000 or more ? this way more than I wanna spend right now…PS I think you’re a little intimidated but you should really try those pure OHaze seeds ..you won’t be disappointed just don’t let them get big ..flower that early top and you’ll be fine
Yeah, a little under $20K used, I suspect, but I don't know current prices after things went nuts the last couple years. Junk that you have to fix every time you want to use it isn't worth it for an old guy who is by himself. I know all too well. Watch estate sales. Equipment is nice to have.

What about leasing a patch to one of the permit holders to have a legal outdoor grow under their ticket, and get them to pony up for the equipment and let you use it. They would be way ahead having you grow a satellite patch under their permit, and paying you well. That way you keep the farm. As long as no pesky inspectors come nosing around.

40 acres in a nice spot - too bad you can't lure in a young person to help with the chores and learn a thing or two about growing. With the price of dope in small retail qtys, maybe pay in bud.

I wanted to learn about growing haze plants before I burned the few ICMag Ohz seeds I have. These two or three haze runs have been experiments. Plus, I had to get going with the beans JohnnyChicago wanted to see growing. I'll be able to do the Ohz next, and it will get the dry winter air.

9.62% interest inflation doesn’t affect them negatively
Only have until OCT to get em at that rate
I was smart enough to buy AAA savings bonds back about 23 years ago

I spent some money tonight On a dinner with me and my son ...shrimp cocktails , fried calamari , swordfish steak With lemon and butter sauce and grilled asparagus and potatoes...It was so fucking good ... He had a ribeye with bay scallops (their version of a surf and turf ) this was an Italian restaurant if you haven’t figured it out

I think some of them are selling it
Selling or growing too? Please upload pics if you ever get to score some amish buds haha.

There no amish in my part of NY unfortunately .I have a property the same size as yours with mostly woods and a field and I never want to sell it. I have a ton more work I want to do and lots of time but i love it. Just put in a dozen new fruit trees this spring.

To be honest like I said I’m having second thoughts I might jack it up see what the market will bear but I would have to be bribed:sneaky:

You got that right ... Honestly if I had to do all my own trimming I would quit growing for good ... There’s a big company called Curaleaf you may have heard of them they have a presence in New York & I think traded on the stock exchange .. It’s one of these mega-million dollar companies They have all the privileges because they have all the money anyways on the website for employment opportunities one of their positions is called “cultivation technician” and one of the main responsibilities in plain English clearly put is >>> hand trimming ... I wonder how many employees they go through?

Probably quite a few

a guy was gonna come out and do a demo for me from green broz
Supposed to be the best dry trimmer but someone told me they weren’t all that great

and I don’t grow enough weed to like, just chalk up a shredded demo pound to the game

so I’m still tryna figure out if I’ll have him come out or not
