Its about that... For a 1000 watts it costs you about $2.63 per day, so yeah that's about right... Just look at it as three bags...lol...:bigjoint:

I know, but the electricity company loves us...lol...

For a Kool few grand you could get yourself a machine to do your trimming for you ..... it sounds appealing to me,,,except I think you need to feed the buds in wet.....that means installing drying racks ....:roll:
I wonder about the finished product and if you would lose some aroma from your buds..... a little/lot extra effort for a better smoke..? or is there hardly enough difference to warrant sticking to the old school ways..?

the excellent thing about involving your mates in the trim up is they get to earn them selves some smoke and feel involved in something underground and dangerous but intrinsic to the community.... I'm blahing on a bit I know,,but am trying to decide witch way to go myself in regards investing in one of those bud trimmers......:eyesmoke:

Hi Jats,

I've seen the bud trimmers in action and they are not bad if you are growing a plant that grows solid bud.... I am growing widow and its a bit spazz :shock:... Its so leafy and requires so much small work trimming.... The trimmers are good for the big stuff but not for the finer stuff... :?

They also knock a lot of crystals off the bud, but on the upside it does create a nice hash on the inside hood and blades... I've used the small one that looks like a bbq that you have to crank... I think I'll stick with scissors and baby oil....

Laceygirl...:-)

Here is a tupperware container full of my first lot of trimming... I have four others bigger than this too...Its almost dried and curing... I've had to hurry up with this as its so dry here where I live... Its just two giant buds with little bud around it.... Trying to stop the little stuff from drying out too fast...

baby oil?
please explain

I rub baby oil on the blades of the scissors, its non toxic and then I also put a thin layer over my hands... Its stop the resin from sticking to the scissors and my fingers... I don't like gloves it makes the stickyness worse...

It also makes washing your hands and equipment so much easier and it doesn't affect the Mj in anyway, I've been doing it this way for years... It really does make it faster...

Both the oil in the pot and the baby oil repell each other.... They are unlike oils so it makes my job easier...

Latex dust free gloves are awesome, then pick the finger hash off them when you're done !

Often, it bubbles ! now thats good hash.

Awesome grow Lacey ;) very jealous

Hi all.... Laceygirl again... I know its late, but I've been up trimming again...

Eightenough was kind enough to come over and kick thru 60 percent of what I need to do, so that's helped heaps... We chopped thru soo much, just bopping out to some old and new tunes on my new ipod speakers, bought specially for the trim.. Big thanks Eight... You really sped things up for me... I fucking hate trimming, and he wouldn't let me complain too much either...lol....

Will take more photos tomorrow.. Really tired, been trimming for hours..

For those interested in my process... :-)
The buds have been hanging in the shed for about 5-6 days now, the leaf is very dry and the buds are not, sort of almost there, so its time to trim.... Then I just chuck them into air-tight containers and let them breath every so often... The smaller buds always dry heaps faster, so if that happens, I just put them in a container with slightly moist buds and it transfers moisture to the extremely dry buds...Makes everything all yummy again...

That is how you cure... The smoke is so strong and smooth...I'm loving it... Still tossing up whether to grow Widow again or Rhino...

Will let you know the final oz count when its totally dry... :-) Am very tired... Am going to bed...Might just have one more cone.....:sleep:

Thank you and welcome :-)

I don't like to use gloves, they just get too sticky and the hash has a slightly distinct latex taste...They make your hands sweat too.... Try the baby oil technique... Its really good for your skin too...lol...

Hi Solcyn, that sounds like a very nice schedule to be on... I have widow clones ready to go, but I don't know..I have a house inspection in two weeks so I have time to take cuttings of the Rhino if I need to... You need to veg the Rhino for such a long time though, 4-5 weeks to give it some decent size so you can get good sized harvests...:-) Rhino doesn't yield like the widow, I've found...:-)

And onto another topic, Here are the latest pics of my mother tent... The girls are all coming along nicely... Going to be making room for a Blue Cheese I believe, and I will be putting my order in for seeds again, just getting two strains now, I am running out of room.

Still have one more tent to buy... I haven't decided what size I want to buy yet.... It will be for pre vegging and vegging... Or a smaller tent for my mothers and use the tent I have now to veg... Still haven't worked out the particulars... Laceygirl....:-) Getting back to the last of the trimming... :-( Then the dreaded CLEAN UP...UGH.....!!!!

That is the cutest and most environmentally friendly way I've heard to lollypop...lol... A duck.... I've never thought of that, but I have four cats... They would scare the duck to death or possibly kill it...I have bullcats... Big motherfuckers.......

But I am loving the duck idea.... Seriously....:-)
