Hmm. I thought you were growing in coco coir. I'm not sure if the part A everyone uses is best for you since its more(?) for hydroponics. Might give Jacks a call and they might recommend something more specific for your water, setup, etc. I'm guessing the normal part A will work great, but it might be worth it to see what an expert has to say. They will probably try and sell you more products than you need like any good salesman though.
Will do brother!
I use the search button to look for your GreenBroz review.
Dry trimming sucks arse....sorry but it does
Well, nothing beats a hand trim, but doing 27 lbs is not a task we can do without the GreenBroz to do at least 70% of the work. We finish by hand tho. The good thing about it is that it only turns at 20 rpm with no suction, so it’s much more gentle on the buds compared to something like a T4. Looking at the finished buds under the scope, the trichs are not perfect, but as close to hand trimmed as you can get by any other machine I’ve seen. We had rented that one for the last round, and we’ve decided to just buy one. If there is a better one on the market, I’d sure like to see it. Wished they weren’t so damn expensive.
All trimming sucks!
The price is outrageous, indeed.
Hear of it, studied it, and it’s just not practical for this scale. If I was doing a personal grow, I’d prob just hand trim all of it. Personal grow limit here is 6 plants per person, per household. So if you have 4 people in a home, you can have 24 plants.
Amen brother!
True that bro, finally I found a journal of a worthy grow! Do you think that the defoliation you did has affected your yield? I find that if I pull the shade leaves off really big colas I have had a increased rate of Botryitis(bud rot). So now I just cut the leaves in half and hey presto...ive had no bud rot at all!!! Puling leaves off big colas leaves scars, and they dont heal inbetween massive buds as its moist and there is no airflow. You should try it, makes for easier trimming as well. Do not cut the petiol mind you as it will die, just the fingers. Once again, bloody great thread! If only I could post one, but its kind of illegal where I am.
Id say since halfway through veg.... yeah, I know that's gonna fuck my numbers up LOL!.. But, I had to test if the room could stand 2 rows running in summer, and I didn't want to waste it on the tray.
Thank you sir!.. and yes, we have defoliated the last grow (this journal), and it turned out well. We did not see any bud rot at all after heavy defoil in late flower. We did have pretty good control of the RH tho. This room has wicked air circulation, and we have only seen bud rot (slight) on a couple of plants last year, but it was very isolated, and we tossed those buds. We try to quality control as much as possible by inspecting the top colas in between the buds before we send them out to market. No complaints or issue so far... and believe me, they will tell you! As far as defoil affecting the yield?... I'd say not, but who knows. Id have to do a control and not defoil it at all and see what happens.
Thank you!, we appreciate it!.. we’ve learned a lot from RIU , and even met an inspiring member on a recent trip.. still love this group of great people who will share good knowledge with others. I suppose that’s why we’re here!
Wished I would have counted the runs through the machine, but I’d guess about 65-75 runs for the ~27 lbs. And it took a hard 5 days running 8 hours a day to run it all, counting cleaning between runs, which took about 6-7 minutes to clean it.
Thats great, I had bud rot on 15% humidity with a fan blowing pretty much directly on the flowers. They were so wide that I think the scars from defoliating got infected with bud rot. I snip the leaves in half now and havnt had a problem. Best thread on this whole site mate, well done.
