I watered late yesterday and that may have contributed to some of the broken branches. I think I can get away with watering later this afternoon again today though. Been spraying with foli-can this morning and will do some more tying up later. No more broken branches but many are starting to flop down causing the branches underneath to not get light.

Got everything all caught up so I can make a trip down south soon. I still need to do some tying up and get more support for the plants. Don't really want to take a trip south right now but really want a twister t-4 before harvest. I can never depend on trimmers.

Wouldn't a wet trimmer be better? Less resin lost?

No.
whole plant drying tastes better = dry trim.

Twister t-4 does wet or dry depending on the barrel used.

Had about an inch of heil and rain. Not over yet. It's still cool out and cloudy. Plants are doing great and no leaks in my roofs. Only thing that could be better is if they can get my Blazer fixed today !

Still waiting to have the Blazer back. It's been cool and cloudy but should start clearing in the next few days. It should head back into the middle 70's instead of the middle 60's. Plants are still flowering but slowly now. The cooler air causes them to slow down growth but also hardens the flowers. Think one more hit with the mix tank and just some sweet carbs to make for sweeter , harder flowers. Then nothing but water there on out.

I got my daily chores done before straining my neck and spent the whole day with a stiff neck and a massive headache . Neck is still stiff today but no headache ...so far. hope to get watering done with a little carb load and fetch water today. We`ll see though.

Got the carb load on the plants but ended up watching the Chargers lose to the Raiders. All set up to fill the fresh water tank and top off the 1500 gal tank. Thinking of leaving the 1000 gallon tank empty and cleaning it out for fresh water use. Going to watch the debates tonight and maybe a Netflix movie. Still feel a little of a sore neck.
