I’m trying to figure this out in a new post, but it always shows replying. Anyway, I grew my first beautiful Chemdog 4 plant which will be cut down to process. I had cut off a smaller branch from the bottom when I split my stock. It dried out and have been so pleased with my buds. QUESTION: I found one seed hiding in one bud. Is it good? I didn’t think female plants produce seeds? Would it be female as well? TYIA!
For the outdoor plants and indoor larf! Love the thing. I bought it cheap and rebuilt it to sell..but after seeing how great and fast it does..I am gonna keep it!
Thank You @SinCity, but I don't recall saying that. I did say that the difference between a clone and a plant from seed is the tap root that the clone doesn't have.we bought a big machine last year, and i was surprised how well it did, but that was when we were still guerilla. this is our first legal year, so only 25 plants (well maybe a half dozen volunteers mysteriously appeared around the edges of our hemp grow) this year. but i was really impressed and surprised by the machine!
plus the plants turned out to be much smaller this year because my grow partner and i hadn't taken into account the extra time growing from seed would take. so we hired the best of the best to maximize quality and minimize the loss of some flower the machine would have eaten. we don't keef our buds, but we do trim on screens to retain what would have gotten gooped up on the machine.
and @Buzzer777 , i read a post of yours saying that the taproot and root structure from plants grown from seed somewhat limits the root mass, which of course determines the vegetation size. that really helped me understand why the plants were smaller this year. we were a bit perplexed.

I have a small manual bowl trimmer that I use for indoor larf (arthritis sux), and it does fine.
My outdoor grow was only 4 plants, but the amount of trim was incredibly huge..that machine saved my butt and I was able to easily trim a plant per day taking my time and dabbing on the way..LOL
I hand trimmed some outdoor for smoke and the rest is in the Deep freeze for fresh frozen later this winter.
Just an FYI..must have been someone else, but i didn't have to be on this site long to think solid info would have come from you. you and alot of others on this site have been simply transformative for me. i was in a bad place having just moved to humboldt a few years ago from NYC. i was pissed at the humboldt world that thinks it knows everything and thinks they actually supply the whole country with weed and pissed at poor genetics around me and pissed that there was no good indoor and pissed that everybody thought humboldt produced the best weed ever and pissed at poor information people were spewing around...well, you get it.
don't get me wrong, i'm incredibly grateful that i moved out here to start to grow again after decades in other aspects of the weed world. and i get to grow trees! fucking trees! i'm incredibly grateful for the opportunities humboldt gives me. i'm incredibly grateful for how stunningly beautiful it is here. no more freezing cold, no more horribly hot, no more traffic jams--lots of things. but i was kinda losing my mind. i had a funny moment with someone at a party who had moved out here about ten years ago when in the course of our conversation we had a huge laugh when we simultaneously marveled that we were in the middle of humboldt county and we were going to have to grow our own headstash!! now i get to go back to growing indoor also (thought i might stop doing the outdoor sites, but i'm gonna keep doing them for obvious reasons, and--because of all of you on this site-- i get to learn my way around the strain revolution and LEDs and all sorts of stuff in this whole new world of seed and strains and knowledge being freely and widely spread. what a wonderful thing it is that has happened. an incredible thing to see this plant unleashed....and to see people spreading information and help and genes....never thought i'd see this.
Just an FYI..
I ESCAPED from NY over 35 yrs ago and never looked back (never been back either) ..It was not so easy adjusting to western life..even then, but happily it worked out fine. I landed in Las Vegas first, but ESCAPED to Reno when that got too big. Now Reno has gotten too big, but at my age..I am staying put.
We just about have it all here..Gaming, weed, no State Income taxes, legal hookers and great weather..NO TOLL BOOTHS EITHER..LOL
Winner,....Winner......Chicken Dinner!sittin' plush with a royal flush !
I modified my scissors years ago with a bigger power pack and it indeed made this thing go way faster. I think they were called the testarosa trimmer but this thing is like a Lamborghini after the power pack upgrade. Get through a pound in less than an hour and then I fine trim with hand scissors and clean all my buds up super tight. I have 19 plants I cut by myself and the only time I have to do it is through the middle of the night. Work all night then all day for croptober. It’s an exhausting month. This year I did a lot of dry trimming. And honesty it’s faster than everything. But I still like trimming wet. If I do this again next year I may just use the electric and buzz all the stuff up quick and then hang it. Then come back and clean it. I was going one or two plants at a time this year and in one day it dropped to 7 degrees and didn’t get above 20. Half my crop was subject to those temps and it hurt the plants a bit. I still got really dank stuff from the after freeze but it was just not as bright green. The taste and stone are still there if not more.
Learn something new every year .
Damn, Reno sounds good for all the reasons you mentioned, especially the no tolls and legal hookers. I recently retired and am looking for warmer place to retire.Just an FYI..

@nashoba
Reno is downright hot in the summers but very dry..like in the low 100's but dropping into the low 60's at night. Winters can be decent of frigid with tons of snow.
it is actually a paradise for those that enjoy the outdoors. Good place to grow too (for an MMJ card holder that is)
I have never even seen a legal hooker, but there are many "ranches" south of Reno (I am actually a bit north of the city)
In any event..I love it here. (I am a short drive from Lake Tahoe too:))

Would this damage the tricones in any way or at least be knocking them offFor the outdoor plants and indoor larf! Love the thing. I bought it cheap and rebuilt it to sell..but after seeing how great and fast it does..I am gonna keep it!
Wouldn't this be damaging the tricones in some way..?For the outdoor plants and indoor larf! Love the thing. I bought it cheap and rebuilt it to sell..but after seeing how great and fast it does..I am gonna keep it!
I do think it would slightly damage the trichs, but The amount that I would have had to trim would have crippled me, so I chose the lesser of 2 evils. That outdoor crop is mostly in the deep freeze for hash this winter..I only kept out a few ounces that I hand trimmed for Smoking and rosin pressing.Would this damage the tricones in any way or at least be knocking them off
Wouldn't this be damaging the tricones in some way..?
The trichs are all through the bud, just the big ugly ones are on the outsideWould this damage the tricones in any way or at least be knocking them off

I cut 28 pounds by myself once through a month of no sleep. I worked days and nights. I literally worked my day job and cut all night for a month. I don’t hire anybody ever and it’s all mine anyhow. I smoke like 3 pounds per year and have an edibles license. I’m also making balm and concentrates for myself. I’ll give my buddies some also at times. Never sprayed once with any preventive, completely organic composted soil water only fully automated. I also have a 6k watt indoor I can run simultaneously if I feel the need. This year I said the hell with it and the electric cost. I grew 19 plants for myself.my ass stays in the drying houses--and makes sure my trimmers have everything their little hearts could possibly desire (plus $250 per lol).
