hmm your only in San Diego.....hmmm (looks at his old ass hands) well I better save whats left in these for my harvey party!

Dude in Santa Cruz, you can hire "really" top notch trimmers for either 1) bud rate 2) $14.00 pr hour 3) Some negotiated combo

I swear one of the BEST trimmers I ever saw was this like 72 yr old lady, she said it was from all the knitting and crotchet work she had done, her fingers and the leaves just flew off the stuff she trimmed LOL.

Granny Trim-Fast was what we called her:laughing:

Amazing... Just finished looking through the whole thread of yours.
Simply just amazing!

Ive been thinking about trying the bucket DWC system for some time, but went with 110mm tubes instead, just like heath robinson and his flooded tubes. So will you be continuing with the vertical setup :D Seems like it went pretty well hehe.

Question tho, as i didnt see it mentioned, or might have missed it through the whole thread. OR it might be one of those newbish questions that never gets asked... The system u use, how does that container work for you ? Do u have some sort of pump that keeps cirkulating the water in the reservois ? or just hoses connected that adjusts the hight of the water lvl in all automaticly ? Reason im asking is that i wondered how u could control the PH and EC lvl of each bucket, if u didnt cirkulate the water :)

Just a small think that bothered me m8 :D

Thumbs up for the grow m8!

Aero... come on bro? You call those buds? That shit looks weak. I could grow better nugs like that with my eyes closed and my hands gnawed off by rats.

Oh wait, no I couldn't.

Great job, homie. Your hands are going to be stiff and sore for a week after you finish trimming. Luckily, I have the inside scoop that there's a medication called cannabis that can help to ease your pain!

Very tasty looking first nug there Aero, wish I was close enough to help. We could start a trimming exchange program.

MC, that trimming exchange program is sounding better every minute!! I would also love the title "trimming exchange student" on my resume...

Stay safe bro with ya trimming, best to stick to yourself and just keep plugging away at it

Yes it is best to keep the trimming in house for sure... but it huuuurts!!! my hands. Ironically, my med perscription is for Arthritis and Carpal Tunnel.... hahah I have to smoke heavy the whole time I trim...:bongsmi:lol, I'm not winning any races here. Might even get me kicked out of the trimming exchange program!!

Yes 8 z's looks pretty solid on that one plant but it is the largest one.. The other RB is a close second and the GDP looks bigger but it's not as dense as the RB. Those RB nugs could put an eye out, they are hard as rocks...

time will tell but I'm pretty happy with the looks of it so far...

Thanks for checking the thread, There is a small fountain pump, robbed form a table top waterfall, that moves water through a 1/4 inch line to the bucket farthest from the res, slow but if does force the water to exchange via the 1/2 inch lines. No chiller was needed. I also never changed the res during the entire flower period:yoinks: I don't recommend it, never done it before, but it was running so stable, I didn't mess with it.. Just added water and nutes..

I will be running this system again with 8 buckets, but I am going to top feed each bucket this time with a larger pump and a chiller because I will need one this summer anyway... The CM plant that got the 1/4 feed outgrew her sisters by quite a bit..I can only imagine if the GDP or one of the RB's got this feed....

Anti, LOL, the hands are feeling it big time, so is my back but I'm still having a good time trimming!!

I got almost a whole Critical mass trimmed.. These ladies sure win the skunk award, they smell aweful.. Not quite as dense as the RB but larger colas... I'll get some pics up as soon as I smoke this stuff off my fingers and keyboard... well, maybe later..

Thanks everyone, back to trimming..

I'll try get some root shots up at some point...



Things aren't going so fast, the CM is kickin my butt, wayyyyyyy harder to trim that the RB... I also have a bunch of life things happening right now that's taking some of my trimming time away from me..

On the bright side, there is a whole lotta of nugs in that wreck, way more than I expected....

So, I stopped taking whole plants after the first RB girl, I then stuck to just the nugs that were most ripe, leaving the system running business as usual. This way, I can give the nugs a few extra days of maturity...

I have taken most of another RB girl and most of a couple CM's, I will post some pics of what's left to do and whats been done soon. I am going to have to throw Panda film on my bed to be able to fit all the trimmed nugs so far in the pic... I haven't touched the GDP yet !

u may want to look into a spin pro unit to help you when the trimming gets old...

just start hand trimming largest buds first, and when u get absolutely sick of that shit just switch over to the unit... shits easy, relatively quiet, and is ideal machine to use for bubble making.


best of luck on the weight homie! you really set bar high for urself for next round lol
