I started trimming the Blue berry this morning,
Took a couple shots,

The first pile,




Then I cut off the branches and got the rest.




Here's a couple of the bigger colas. I use a smaller box so I can set it on my lap.




I found some mold but not as much as I thought I would with these cool/damp nights.

OK, Its been about 4 hours and I am about 2/3rds the way done.
Ha! I thought I was gonna trim this and Casey Jones both today but no way man.
Back to work.

OK, another change in plans, My last plant the big cheese, ha, Blue cheese I mean is got some problems and I gotta take her soon. Mites yea sure but I had a big cola die on me cause of mold. I don't want to lose anymore so she is coming down tomorrow.

Blue dream is in jars and Blueberry and Casey Jones in the shed have been hanging for a week so I'm gonna go ahead and trim the buds off the stems and either put them in that net or I rigged my cab with a couple more shelves. Depends on how dry they are. Then I will have room for Blue Cheese in the shed. Even with losing that big cola I bet she is over a pound.
Just be sure to give it a good look over when you're trimming. Look in the center of all of the big or dense buds. You want to get the mold out as early as possible or it can spread and ruin even more bud while drying. Looks like a sweet harvest inspite of all the issues. Cant wait to watch her up and running next year. Got any plans of changing shit around in there?

I hear ya. I don't even bubble it. I hear people do it but na, I got plenty.
Lot of things different in this grow, it wasn't suppose to be an outdoor but it turned out that way so I ended up dealing with differents pests. I thought I was going to have a problem with PM but that never happened. Just bugs really. Its was a cool summer so I might have gotten away with temps this round but if next summer we have normal temps I'm gonna have a few weeks with temps over 100° in there as it is.

So, Yea. I have been thinking about raising the front wall a foot so its the same as the back and peak the roof with 4" vents all along both front and back of the roof that I can control. I want to try sealing it up and running A/C in there, recirculate the air and add co2. Start flowering at about 3 foot end up with 6 foot plants. I figure if I start a month later I should be close. The A/C unit I have isn't gonna do it, I gotta find a bigger one. Im thinking like 13500 or so. this is a 5k. helped keep the shed cool though.

You got it Gumball, I'm gonna try a winter grow then make the modifications in the spring.

I'll be following all winter ;)
Welcome Aboard. Oh wait a minute, "silent running" you probably got your own ship. :cool:

It should be good. Few in soil that are good size, like a foot or so and then a few smaller clones in a hydro setup. See if they can catch up, Wanna see what works better. That reminds me. I gotta build that thing. Going with stinkbuds design cause I dont want to deal with all that hydroton it would take to fill the waterfarm 8 pack.

Well your guess is as good as mine.
So far we got 5.5 from Santa Cruz Kush and 11.2 from Blue Dream so 1 lb. from two plants. Although that Massive Blue Cheese looks impressive I bet Casey Jones gives her a run for her money.

I ran a little setup like that. Perpetual grow, I pulled 2 or 3 oz's every couple months.
Awesome buds too. I'm still saving 1/4 oz from that grow. Train wreck, the best stuff I grew in a dozen grows was under 200w of floro's.

OK, I got the blueberry down yesterday, It was dryer then I thought. I put it on racks in my cab overnight and today It goes in paper bags. I got a shit load of trim/popcorn from her. About 3/4 of a 5 gallon bucket. I packed 2 large zip lock baggies with the best of it and tossed the rest.

Today I'm gonna take down Casey Jones. I checked it this morning and got a snap, not a loud one but I tried a couple and they can come down and make room for Blue Cheese. After Casey Jones its Bubba Kush that's next. I think I should have left the blue dream in the jars, when I put her back in there was like an 1/8th of shake from the buds left over. I may have to add moisture to her before I bag her up. That sucks cause I need the jars. I got on a ladder this morning and got a good look at her. a few of the colas have spider mite webs but I didn't see any more mold. I also didnt see many amber pistils. Trichs are maybe 70% cloudy. Shit, shes still growing but she is weak.

I got a Stoner dog. Last night I found him with a stem in his mouth and took it away. He didn't like that. I been putting Max outside when I trim, this morning I left him in here. That was a mistake, I turned my head and seen he was chewing on a bud! went I went for him he took off running. My bad, it was within his reach. Oh well, so much for keeping it away from him so he doesn't develop a taste for it.
:wall: I expect him to sleep most of the day.

LOL! My Jack Russells have to be kept out of the grow room because they love it too. I left the door open one time while I was cleaning up the tent and turned around to see a 4 gallon pot on its side with 3/4ths of the plant in the dogs mouth....root ball and dirt hanging out. Never again.

How do you add moisture back to them? Meaning...I know how to do it...but what is your preferred method? I normally just toss a green leaf off a current veg'ing plant in. But always interested in trying new tips/tricks.

Max is a hoot. My dog will sometimes hover around when I smoke. I will sometimes kneel down and blow out my smoke, in a different direction than her, and she will make a point to walk around to where the smoke is and lick it out of the air. I do not blow it in her face, distinct difference. But it shows they like a good sleep too :bigjoint:

Ha! No kidding. Well I haven't had a dog in a while and then those were full grown when I got them. Max is really my first puppy so were both learning. I read up a bit about dogs, didn't know they are omnivores. I tried giving him some lettuce about a month ago. He wolfed it down but had the runs for a week. Enough of that! He doesn't eat the lawn anymore though. Didnt know they had baby teeth either. I been giving him a couple ice cubes a day and I noticed he lost a couple teeth. Hell, I thought I blew it. Come to find out its good to give them ice when they are teething. Still learning. Do you feed your Jack's veggies?

Oh yea. I use leaf when its available to wet them again. If I dont have any I prefer to use a piece of damp paper tower folded over the edge of the jar keeping it off the buds but the lid on tight rather then citrus peel or parsley. Doesn't affect the taste.

Really? She likes the smoke then, lick's it out of the air.
Funny, Max takes a whiff and goes outside. Guess he prefers edibles.

Do you feed your Jack's veggies?
I do. Mostly it is carrots, peas and zucchini. Occasionally, if I have a baked potato and any is left I will also mix that into their food. The moist food I feed them, Pro plan...contains vegetables in it as well. I was looking for a good site to let you know which ones are ok...but didn't really run across anything major... http://www.ehow.com/how_2212981_feed-dog-fruits-vegetables.html is ok for a small guideline. Have you bought him a kong? My dogs absolutely love their kong. When they were teething, I'd wedge a few ice cubes in each kong and give it to them. Now I use it as a reward and put their favorite treat (homemade peanut butter doggie biscuits) in it. Puppies tummies are a little more sensitive and you have to go with very small amounts of veggies. Every time mine got the runs...I'd make some rice with beef broth and mix in a little cottage cheese....or give them some pumpkin. It's all in the amounts you give. Max looks very happy and content.

Yeah, seems to like the smoke a lot! Weird.

And granny smith apples, and blueberries, she loves them. But as SR said, in small portions. Its funny to see my boxer with a blueberry because she has like an inch underbite, so she's nibbling her ass off. Our vet said cooked plain white rice was good, like if they are sick and won't eat anything else. If we feed her anything like rice it gets mixed with the kibble.

LMFAO. This is like my pooch. She is drawn to two things immediately : laughter, and buds. She hears someone laughing, she's right there. And if I'm trimming buds she'll smell it if she isn't even around.. The most intelligent dog I've had by far with absolutely no begging or stealing problems ever, but leave her with a table full of buds and it's over. I've gotta come up with a different training strategy all-together for this because she won't respond to normal means lol..

"Table full of buds"

Like this?
May I introduce Casey Jones!







That's all I got done so far.
Looks like I'll be here a while.

By the way, that's not a regular size coffee table. I cut the legs off a sofa table to get a narrow one.

Oh yea, heres a trich shot.



This is gonna be outstanding.
