I could definitely use a little more of that in my constitution. I was able to get caught up with the trimming. 132g. of MK Ultra. Now I get a break for a few days while that GG4 dries.
My second at-bat.

I am with you I get possessed heating pad for my back flip on the stereo can't stop until the pile is gone I did buy one of those hand crank trimmers for the leafy outdoor stuff I had a couple falls ago nice 13ft plants but all the mids were leafy as heck

Most of what I grow is smoke for me so I got realistic. I hang it dry at least a week, more if the conditions are perfect. Instead of snapping stems I look for breaking leaves. If they are still floppy after a week I'll bump the fan up a notch.
whatever... I'm high. the part I was getting to was I'll snip my way up each limb with the shears, chopping the nug(s) and stem off with the big comfy scissors. I'll work my way up towards the top, (each time with a new little handle) and when what I pick up looks worth hand-trimming it'll go in the 'smoke' pile for trimming. All the lower stuff goes in a bowl-trimmer.
Here's my trick. When the plant is bucked to that point I'll look at the two piles and I might take another round of nugs off the bottom for the bowl-trimmer pile if I just don't feel like trimming that volume. That part comes down to how in love with the plant you are.
Well the first grow is in the bag - or, rather jars. I got the GG4 trimmed and netted 130g. For the whole first grow it’s 695g. I had 2 SF4000s rated at 450 watts each, so that’s roughly .65 grams per watt. I know that’s lame by most standards, but most standards is not the kind of thing I worry my not-so-pretty head about. What’s most important to me is that I can see lots of areas where I can improve.
Update: I stuffed 7 plants in that 4x8 tent - 4 Sticky Ickies and 3 Purple Punches. They’re a little crowded in there, but they all love each other so it’s all good. They’re spaces a week apart, ranging from day 1 for PP3 to day 43 for SI1.

All your plants are looking great Badddoin especially your Purple Punch!
And can I ask how did you achieve your HST nute knuckles.(points) Did you do that with a hard pinch or something else like Kushman's chiropractic/karate?
I have no clue what I’m doing. Flying by the seat of my pants. She just kept heading for the light, and I kept pinching and laying her down, but she wouldn’t give up, so finally I raised the light. To be honest, I was a little scared. She’s nearly as big as me and has a lot more arms. I figured I mightn’t fare well in a one-on-one.All your plants are looking great Badddoin especially your Purple Punch!

I’ll try to do an update. First, I’m afraid I’m going to have to bore you with a little backstory. This is what I started with.
The two 2x4 tents on the right (300 watt Mars Hydro in each) were used for veg and the 4x8 on the left (2 spider farmer SF 4000, 450 watts each) was used for flower. Then I changed to two 6 foot tables and a 2x3 table on the end. I spun those 2x4s 90 degrees with the doors facing out. I had to leave a little gap on the far one because that’s where the flower tent exhausts.
I didn’t use those small tents on my first grow, except to dry in. So, I was having a hard time cloning, and was finally able to conquer it (I’d feel a little less stupid if it weren’t so easy). I had about 8 or 9 successful clones, and then for giggles I decided to fill the whole cloner (36 spaces) to see what would happen. Well what happened was 36 more successful clones, way more than I can possibly use. I took a couple outside, but I’m much too decrepit to haul water out to the woods. They likely won’t make it. I took 8 of them still in one gallon pots and stuffed them in one of those tents.
In the other tent I put one each Sticky Icky and Purple Punch, that were ready to flip. As SI1 and SI2 got chopped the were replaced with those two plants, and that tent also got 8 clones stuffed in it.
