One last question, in the area your cloners are at what are the room conditions?
Well, right now they are in the cure room, so the temps are 63ish, 60% RH.. but!.. that's ok, it will keep the water temp good. In the cloners, they only need some indirect light.. if much at all. I have a T5 fixture set on half power, and about 4 ft above the cloners. If you have it in your house, you should be good. You might have to throw a few ice cubes in there every now and then as you pass by..... or just toss a frozen beer in there. LOL

Oui!... @Renfro, what are your thoughts on this take down process I was talking about on the last page?... storing the bucked buds (untrimmed) in the CureTubes till everything is done (dry) at once?... then machine trimming all at once?.

Thank you sir!.. experience is what it's all about, and advise from people like yourself is what keeps growers learning!
Through experience and online forums mostly I have learned what I know. I haven't bought into any books except a few copies of High Times back in the 80's. You find those people that really know some stuff and glean a nugget here or there... I think it's the best way to learn plus stay up to date on the latest trends and tech. Yeah trade shows are fun and freebies rock but they just wanna push stuff and most of it's garbage or you don't need it. You get on here and you see how real world problems are getting solved in the real world and talk to the people doing it.

Well if it's laying on it's sides or gets compacted at all then the trimmer might have a hard time. With dry trimmers the right amount of moisture is key though, too dry and buds just break down but too wet and they jam up the works fast.

I thought about that. Im just trying to figure out how to do this during these crazy times with the virus. I don't want my usual crowd out here till things simmer down a bit. I would burp and rotate those CureTubes every day to keep things from clumping up, while maintaining ~61% RH.

Like I said, if I had my druthers, but yes these are trying times and compromises must be made.

I know we're in the zone with the conditions... I just went into the cure room to snap those pics of the cloners, and came back it the house. Paige was like "Did you roll around in the weed?".... I was literally in there for 30 seconds, and didn't go near the hanging section.
Just as long as it doesn't hang for two months and then have lost most it's punch.

Problem is... I don't have that much hanging space to get ALL of the inventory at once. That's why I thought we would do the 5 hanging lines at 12-14 days, buck em off, CureTube them, hang another 5 lines for 12-14, and then run everything through the GreenBroz at once. I suppose I could use the grow room as a cure room on the last 25 or so plants, as we won't have anything going in there for a while.
