The Koser is from DNA Genetics. Most of the others are Ethos. We're all clones right now, but the original seed source was GreyBeard.

*sigh*... welp.. here we go. Gonna get up bright and early at 11 am to start taking this bitch down. I’ll post pics as we eat this elephant. @Flatrate What are you doing tomorrow?.. @Renfro ?... guys????

Bandit, rest assured I will there.....................................in spirit!

Seriously, you know I wish you the best. You grew one hell of a crop and should be very proud of it! Try to keep us updated when you can.

With the advise of many of you and some locals (that come from CO).. we are dry trimming this round. So, we took top colas from tray 1 today and hung them up. It took up 2 lines in the processing room. We plan to take 2 more strains tomorrow (top colas) and fill up 2 more hanging lines. Hoping that dry trimming will be an easier process.... and less messy. A friend of mine up in Tulsa has a GrowBroz dry trimmer he's going to let me borrow since he is in between harvests. There is no suction on the GB'z and he says it does 75% of the job, and you have to hand trim the rest by hand for the desired final result you want. Stay tuned!

beautiful...speechless. looking forward to the next one!

A couple of final shots before things get too ugly...

Beautiful

Hey brother, how are you folks holding up?

Honestly boss, we've only put a couple of hours into this. We took the first tray top colas (pic above), and have the cure room at 63 degrees/60% RH. Tray 2 and 3 are just not ready yet, but Early Lemon Berry is very close! Like maybe Fri for a top cola take down on that strain. Orange Kush (middle tray 2) can prob go till next week. And the tall ladies in the back (Dosi Whoa!) can prob go another 10 days or so. Im am TOTALLY ok with this slow take down, as we are taking a break after this round. Due to COVID19, here's the plan. .. We're going to take our time and take the top colas, and dry them.. as they get dry enough (10-14 days) we will buck them off the stems and store them in the CureTubes. As the secondaries dense up (pic above in tray 1 left), we will let those go for another 2 weeks or so. As we stage this take down, we want everything dried and in the CureTubes. We will then rent a GreenBroz dry trimmer ($350 a day) and run everything at the same time. This should just take one day as we expect 20-25 lbs of finished product. I used to have a Twister T4, but it was pretty brutal on the buds. The GreenBroz 215 only spins at 20 RPM, and there is no suction at all. I've done a lot of research on this model, and it seems to be about as close to hand trimmed you can get. They say it does 75% of the work, and then you have to just do quality control with the random crows feet and whatnot. .....So... that's the plan.

I remember you saying the Twister T4 was rough, didn't you end up with 800 grams of K from 1 round?

Yessir!.. we did. I've seen the GB in action, and it looks like it does a good job for sure. It can do 4-5 lbs per hour, and as it comes out the chute, we will have 4 people doing quality control, hand finish final trimming, etc.... my buddy up in Tulsa is going to be busy with his, but I can rent one up in OKC. If I like it, they will deduct the $350 rental off the sales price ($6300) if I want to buy it.

Sounds like a plan man. If you like it you might want to invest. Would probably makes things easier and faster.

*GREENBROZ... Not GrowBroz... sorry... and yeah, If I can find a trimmer I like, I'd defiantly buy another one.. that T4 tho... it's just too hard on the bud... turns it into a gemstone and does not follow the natural curves of the bud like the GB 215.

Not to jump off topic, but don't you have/use a cloner. KingClone or something like that? I may be in the market.

Oh yeah!.. I have 3 (36 spot) Clone Kings... they are the bomb! I've had 99% success rate with those without even trying too hard. Just make sure your water stays under 80 degrees (common mistake for people with bad success rates), set the PH at 6, add a bit of veg nutes if it makes you feel better, take your cuttings, cut the fan tips, make a 45 degree cut about 4 inches down, set it in, plug it in and forget about it for 10-12 days. You will then have roots about 3-4 inches long... no biggie if you let them go for longer, they'll just keep making roots... If you do it by the directions, you almost cannot fuck it up.

Thanks man, lately I've been thinking about making some changes and cloning has been on my mind alot.

One last question, in the area your cloners are at what are the room conditions?

I can't recommend it enough!.. @Renfro was alot of help in this area. I've never had a crop field this even. I'm defiantly a fan now, and will not go back to seeds unless im hunting down another good strain.
