Cruze he's right bro. Dude that last 10 i did was a hole lot lot lot of work, and i didnt learn. Becuase im doing 20 now. But dammmmmm i might half to come help ya come harvest time. Not to mention drying time,and space. You better start buying jars now. Hell dude i got 20 jars full on last grow, and going to need another 20 for this grow, hell you might as well look into buying a case of them online,OR TWO! Thinking your going to half to have alot of space just for drying. I know you put yours in paper sacks for a couple days, you might want to go and get them home depot bags.lol The ones for your yard lololol. One plant would take you a day working on it. Better sharpen them clipers. bro im not lieing, my cliper would turn black and stick to gather on one small plant in compairison of yours.
Ya think? I dont know, I was thinking around half that. I will keep a little bit of everything but most will be going to my co op. I figure I will use my hydro cab as a drying cab for a week or two when they are ready. thats 24" by 48" by 78" I just got to make some screen shelves for it but with air commin in the bottom and out the top should do fine.
LOL I have to agree.
You got it!.
I guess your right. I mean, ya know, you been there.
Hum, maybe I should think this over again. I will keep 6 oz and 6 will go to my patient, the stuff I keep will go in jars for long term storage while the rest (once dried of course) will go to my co op in bulk but I wont have to jar it. Im thinking six screens 2x4 ft in my cab will be enough space to dry if I cut the buds of the stems right away and put them on the screens. I didnt think of the amount of time it will take to get it done... Yea, its gonna be a couple days work easy.
Funny thing, when I started growing all I could think of was harvest. Now I just like seeing healthy plants grow and mature properly. Probablly cause I got enough meds now but Its really amazing the transformation the girls go through.
Sounds like with the different stages that they're all in currently and the fact that it's not a guerilla grow in the middle of nowhere and is instead in your backyard, you should be able to harvest "as needed" and probably wouldn't have to deal with more than a couple of pounds a week in any stage (drying, trimming, curing, etc.).Ya think?

You should definitely be able to dry a couple of elbows in your cab at a time, which is in all likelihood the most you're gonna be doing in there (at one time, obviously).
If it was me I'd definitely invest in an automatic trimmer, though - I almost bought one for my last round and I only pulled about a P; couldn't imagine trying to hand trim anymore than that.

shit, i couldnt imagine trimming a P of herb!! the first time might be fun. but after that it would all be work. kinda like big game hunting. you enjoy every minute until you pull the trigger and the game is down. then you realize you have to drag that beast, cut him up, and do it quickly because the meat will rot soon. but then you cant wait to do it again once its all over with. humans really are dumb creatures!
Now thats a good idea.

Been there done that. Pops was a big game hunter so naturally I hunted as a child and have done my share of gutting and skinning. Hauling the dam thing back to camp, Cook the heart right away and hang the rest for a couple days then butcher the beast. Yea, it was a pain in the ass but we were right out there the next year doing it again. In my case it was mainly deer but pops hunted bear, moose, elk, caribou, big horn sheep the works. He got a world record size Caribou. He killed a Kodiak brown bear that was terrorizing a village, killed 12 other hunters that went after it. He put 11 shots in it with a 300 mag.
Here is a scaned photo from back then of the Caribou,
In the seventys there was a large Kodiak brown bear in Alaska that was terrorizing the natives. My dad had read about this bear. He followed storys about hunters that went after the bear only to be killed by it. There were eleven men, hunters, guides and one photographer that fell victim to this single bear. After examine the carcases of the dead men they realized the reason this bear was a killer. The bear had a broken tooth and had grown a custom to pain. When a hunter shot it, If the shot wasn't fatal it just pissed him off. Then the hunt turned around. It turns out the bear would duck for cover, sneak around behind, attack and kill the hunter.
It took him a couple years to save up the money and to find a guide who was willing to go after the bear.
He finally did.
There is a recorded story of the hunt in his journals however his second wife will not release them to us. From what I remember he was armed with a Bolt action Browning 300 mag. His guide had a shotgun with solid shells for protection. The terrain was of small mounds of frozen earth about six feet tall and 50 yards long. Several of them creating natural hiding places. I believe they call it The Tundra. He was guided to the general location of the bear, Spotted him about 150 yards away took a shot, hit the bear. The bear shook his coat like it was wet and looked in his direction. The guide ran. Then the bear disappeared into one of the small valleys. My father knew the bears strategies so he did the same thing. As he circled he spotted the bear again. He shot it again, the bear didn't seem to be hurt. It came at him. He thought since the first couple shots to the center of the bear didn't seem to affect him he would shoot his limbs and break the bones to slow him down. After all, he didn't want to be number thirteen. As they circled he took his shots. First the powerful forearms, then the rear legs, Believe it or not the bear kept circling to get a chance to attack. He found it, from about thirty yards away the bear surprised my dad and lunged at him. He took a heart shot, then ran a few yards and took another. The bear dropped face down in a small valley not 10 yards away. As he watched the bear from the top of the small hill for half an hour the bear didn't move. He had two shots left out of the twelve cartridges he carried and was not in any hurry. Finally he decided to get a closer look. He stepped down into the small valley towards the bear. All at once the bear raised from the ground and lunged bearing his teeth and claws. He stepped back and shot the bear again almost point blank. The bear went down again, this time with its head in a puddle of melted snow and he knew the bear had stopped breathing.
He did it. The bear was no more

wow dude, sent shivers all over me. awesome adventure, i think he should of carried a dirty harry 44 magnum too!! talk about a close call!!
with a dad like that, i hate it for anyone messing round with your or yours!!!
i got to shoot a 44 magnum just like the dirty harry gun recently. it was pretty bad ass! but your arms would get tired after about 12 rounds, and it doesnt fit anywhere!!

Na, not me. He was the great one.
Me too man, That was just one of his hunts but I think that was the most exciting.
Yea, I learned to shoot when I was eight and Im a pretty good shot. Those 44's do kick hard. I prefer a 40 cal. myself.
Yeah, your cab wont be big enough. I'm a fan of good air flow etc. Depends on how you stage it but you're going to need some space. And as much as you think you like the smell, you want to consider odor control in that plan. It can be overpowering to the point of making you near ill. There is also some data on confined spaces and decomposing plant material gases that can lead you to being actually ill. Much debatable but I like to read too much. Probably not enough there and with good fresh air sources is not a problem of course.
Anything over 5 pounds really gets to me at least.
Curing for you op would be considerate and worthwhile unless it is setup to handle such by the members it distributes to. That in mind, jars are not the only way to cure large amounts. Think bigger. Drums with net racks to reduce compression and timed recirculating fans, etc.
Nice hunting stories. Thanks for sharing that.
oops, forgot to mention the drying/processing/storage of a bunch of trim in there. That's gotta be dealt with as well.

No kidding, so that’s what it is.
My cabs are perpetual and I dry here in the same room. Although the cabs are vented outside I leave the windows and sliding door open in the summer. The last couple winters I have been sick more often. That’s when all the doors and windows are pretty much closed. That could explain it, decomposing plant material gases.
Na, I don’t think you read to much.
So you don’t think the cab will be large enough for them all at once?
Well, we gotta see what I end up with but maybe I can do two at a time or something. I do want to keep the strains separate. As for the trim, na, I'm not going to mess with it. Takes an hour and a half for a couple grams of bubble and I haven’t been all that successful at oil either. Trim will go in the trash unless my collective wants it.

Damnnnn really... from that gh you could get probably a quarter-1/2 oz of premium hash. For a couple hours work, damn I wish I knew you IRL I would gladly take that off your hands lol
Personally I think you're going to run into space issues. Space issues lead to problems. I just plan on overkill and if I dont make it, no biggy. Just too many times underestimating my needs has left a ton of grief under my belt.
Being able to process that much trim makes it worth your time. Even if you just dry sift it. Heck, I'm the kind of nutjob that keeps trim around just to smoke. Once cured I actually like the taste. To each their own though.
Just opinions from the peanut gallery and all that.
