View attachment 2833697View attachment 2833698 So here's what we've got so far. Yes, that's my library/work room/woman cave/drying room. We've taken some more off since this pic because of rain. There's been sun the last two afternoons and more sun forecast so we're taking some risks to let a few buds mature further. The Kush and Kerala, in particular, are behind the other strains. We knew Kerala would be a problem but this is the first time I've ever had problems with any Kush strain. The Royal Cheese and White Rhino are also a little slow (although Cheese has had some selective branches taken, now) but standing tall in the wet. To paraphrase a movie line: "Cover? We don't need no stinkin' cover!" They're sagging a tad but are shedding the moisture right off. Everyone else has had some minor problems. I'm glad we took the heavy stuff off!! I want to see if we can actually leave some out there long enough for some of the trichomes to turn amber :-P Short growing season here..........................................We'll probably go ahead and take everything down if the rain moves back in again. More pics later :-D Happy Harvest to all!!!

I am chancing it to.....weather is suppose to dry out and warm up for a week or so and I to have decided to go as long as I can...I was out today and by mid afternoon they were pretty much dry. I face the same problem here...short season. In fact...the mountain top had a light dusting of snow this morning when I woke up....I was like Shitsel...it almost here....the end that is!!!
 
Well done brody....looks nice!! We got slammed with hail early in the season...it took the girls weeks to recover from that mess and now as of late we have been pounded with rain....what a shit fest. I woke up this morning with some of my girls split in pieces from all the extra weight from the water on the buds and it still happened even after I had tied them up!!! Not all of them but some took a beating last night....thank goodness they were about a week out...I can live with that but it sure did hurt to see them in that condition....I should have taken photos to show what can happen to heavy dense cola branches that get rained on....I was just so disturbed that I didnt even think about that. I just went into surgery and splint mode ASAP....it sucked...I was out there for hours today....lets see how those hold up.
Thank you, sir :-D We had some of that, too; partly our own fault as we were out there 'shivering' branches to dump rainwater and got a little too enthusiastic on a couple :( We lost an entire Sour Kush to an August storm and the one that's left has a big hole in one side where branches broke then. It's lost a couple in the recent rains, too. Kerala has only lost one mid-sized branch that I was able to repair. Blue Dream lost a couple here and there but nothing much overall compared to what we've harvested from the tops. Those sativas are pretty damned flexible! And there's quite a bit left, especially of White Rhino, which we haven't touched at all.

We've started manicuring due to limited drying/curing space so I'll get some pics of that to add along with pics of what's left of my garden. I'm really happy with this year's efforts. Tomatoes and peppers and squash, oh my!!

OK, good luck then!! I'll check back to see how you did. 'Course, doublejj's harvest makes mine look pretty damned puny!! LOL

Excellent!!! Only outdoor growers know the perils of dealing with mother nature! It can vary so much from one year to the other. Thank goodness I got my indoor set up ready to go now that cold weather sets in!!! The yeilds are reduced but working in a controlled space is also quite nice! Cheers!

Anyone who's had the poor luck to experience rippers or their attempts, sorry to bring up bad memories but

Has anyone ever had someone try to steal from them during daylight hours? I expect the risk mostly at night, but still haven't left my house for more than a few minutes, a total of three times since August.

iv'e had rippers wait all day for ya to turn ya back and bamm they run thru and grab all they can in the daylight especially the crack of daylight . known many people that got hit in the daytime more than at night . but thats living in the woods with not many neighbors around so they have plenty of cover and thats why we got 6 dogs here running loose all day long and night also . between the dogs and a couple grizzly 4 wheelers with push bars they won't get far without getting run down hard no exceptions period

Have used 5 gals with Gamma Lids but all bud inside was vac sealed first.

Dirtsurfr is right, they don't seal the best but are great for keeping your buds from being impacted and stacked fairly easily.

Have known many growers to take x amt of lbs, turkey bag each bone dry after the proper dry and cure of course. Then vac seal and put into a 55 gal drum to bury. 3-4 months after harvest when it gets "dry" they unearth, open up, and rehydrate and get indoor prices on last seasons outdoor. Though you must master the drying curing storing rehydrating process.
Truly cured meds that are properly stored and properly rehydrated seem like a fresh harvest, without being able to tell it was old bud rehydrated....

Here's a funny video of the trimmer DoubleJJ convinced me to buy, really didn't take more than him posting it up to see the added benefit. An for under $500 shipped I just put my order in today! Should be here by the 26th-2nd of oct. I'm pumped!
Bosai Hero shears to bigleaf in the field, and this automated trimmer after bucking down off the stems before the dry nets!!!
This is fucking perfect as after I use em on my crops I can run up the canyon and make buco $$$ helping buddies finish their greenhouses without hiring 10 trimmers!
Sorry trimmers but in this market us growers gotta save a buck where we can!
EXCEPTIONS INCLUDE THE MISSES AND THE FAM;-)
