2025 outdoor grows! Let’s see em!

[SkinnyPete]

Something like these pruners are my favorite. They don't collect as much sticky stuff and work for longer before needing cleaning.

My favorite type of trimmers

For 2 plants it doesn't take that long most of the time (depending on internode spacing).

I have 6 plants and 3 are over 6 feet tall now. I think I will have a few pounds when it time to harvest. I'll probably hand trim the top buds and find a solution for the rest

I have seen these machines on Amazon. I was wondering if they work. Do they remove some of the trichomes? If so I guess thats a necessary evil to save yourself from 50 hours of had trimming

Extra manpower. I jave my brother come over and send him home with whatever he trims.

Everything you do at harvest is a danger to the trichombs, so yes these trimmers will be harder than hand trimming. I can’t stand trim jail, so I have a power one. I can’t imagine harvesting without it. It’s great for the initial wet trim, then I hang, and hand trim. In the end, for myself, if your weed is good, then goal has been achieved!

I saw some battery powered trimmers last time I was at the nute store. Had no idea what it was and the guy showed me. Said a lot of people are switching over to them.

Just a mini garden tour.

The littlest Lost Mangos From Space ( Mango Isle x Purple Satellite) from Lucky13 has been blooming for a while now. It's got 3 fairly short branches. The second much bigger plant hasn't started flowering yet.

Cleaning them takes longer than doing it by hand.

My buddy had one that I used. It really over did the bud. It was very clean, but when we manually do it, we have a much better harvest.
On the flip side of things, we made some killer wax with trimmings that were from the machine.

I plan on getting a bowl trimmer for the bulk of mine but my personal smoke I will trim with scissors the rest is hashish or oil

I use multiple trimmers. Usually not to expensive, but have to constantly switch them out due to all the work.

Great work Growmie! I don’t like to lose any of my trichomes either! Spending months for a damaged product isn’t cool!

Was quite a week with these ☝.Been foliar spraying h2o like a suggestion made and thankfully pests haven’t been as bad …got some safers 3in1 incase but hesitant to use it…. storm this week wilted them n bent some stalks but they’ve recovered for most part … I figure southern Ontario they say flowering should start in next few weeks il have to figure out a organic top dress. Don’t even know the strains but I hope they’re females lol … first outdoor grow all mystery seeds

 

[mancorn]

Well it’s official. The sun’s not coming out today.

I guess they’re still growing

Same. Got one of the crank ones. And for sure you lose some curb appeal. But mine isn't sitting on a dispo shelf, so I dont care the nugs aren't perfect. And agree, if you grew fire, its still blazes the same!

Good morning farmers, I thought i would share what me and my daughter an partner have been working on slowly over the past month. I've put in underground irrigation in for my new trees & bushes along my fence and edged it with cedar mulch. Also did river rock and more irrigation on the back and front sides of my house.

We are done for the most part the front of my house's lawn now has sprinklers on timers but i'll wait till next year to put sprinklers on my back " dead lawn" cause i want to add 2 more veggie beds and kill the weeds for the most part. My little veggie gardens are humming along got some corn and cantalope, tomatoes an peppers, onions an potatoes. I don't want so much lawn just more veggie beds.

My MJ plants are doing OK not as big as this time last year but whole different strains. RS11 x Okie, Gelato 33 x Okie and Apples & Bananas LOL my fruits. That's my update for this week, looking forward to some cooler temps from 100 to upper 80's all the plants will enjoy that. Peace out for now happy gardening.

Beautiful! Sis, love the rs11!! Am running her kid the zoap, and her flavor is quite addictive also!! I get the hype for these girls!! They taste so good!!

Does anyone have any experience with outdoor Crème Brûlée? Mine have been flowering for weeks now. Every one of them. All my Godfather OG, OG Kush, Super Lemon Haze, GG4(Royal Gorilla), and Guava are just now finishing there stretch and starting to transition. I just can’t understand why the Crème has started so damn early??? From Hypno Seeds, started indoors in March, after hardening transplanted outside in April. Definitely not an Auto. Is a photo, so I can’t figure out why so early. They are supposed to be hybrids, but lean super heavy towards Indica.
Help me growmies! I’ve been an outdoor grower since 2000 and haven’t had this ever happen.

 

[katraiter]

Yeah, im looking for more of the "hubba bubba" strawberry gum. Its kind of like the old skunk, I feel like it may be gone forever, but hoping someone made something similar. I bought "Hubbabubbasmelloscope" and popped one of the two seeds, but it didn't germinate. I have one left so once I pull the 12 I have growing now, I am going to give it another shot.

Just came across this ...page 37 in the PDF

Dunno if they ship or anything , was just looking at a strain they had unrelated and remembered the strawberry gum!

I hear ya! I will be in trim jail for the rest of my life with these monsters. I need to find something like this.

 

[EastCoastOutdoor]

I have at least 20-30 pair floating around here. Some gets sticky very quickly. Yes three isn’t stretching it. You get it! Keep a tub of isopropyl alcohol and keep rotating. I seldom trim for more than two hours a day. But will easily go through at least ten pairs in two hours.

The orange colored snips, are my go too! Alcohol to clean them when needed and aluminum foil to sharpen them back up. You just cut the foil 10-15 times and they are just like new! Takes 30 seconds
