Grow hacks ... Post em if you got em

[JL2G]

To extend cure time, not have to burp a shit ton of jars, and trim at my leisure, I use big ass cure buckets.
When they're done with the hang dry I chop off entire limbs.
Keeping them on branch keeps everything from clumping together, and let's air go around them to cure evenly with no molding.

Put cut ends down to not flatten the bud tops.

Branches chopped in bucket sized lengths.

5 gallon black food grade buckets with screw on airtight Gamma lids. Available at Pot Depot, or Blowes. About $10 per set.
Makes trimming easy too.
Just grab a bucket and all larf, and sugar leaf gets cut and falls into the bucket.
Bucket leftovers after the main buds are trimmed goes to the hash bin.
Hash bin is just another 5 gal bucket. Lol.
All stays in the buckets and gets put in jars once the burping is complete, and the buds are balanced out RH wise.

And if you lay on the floor for pics they look huge.

You're talkin plants here right?

Thought i would i would go ahead and post my method for dealing with nanners or balls. This method is a bit harsh( but it works) . First you must give it a good trim. The final step is you hold it directly above the trash can and drop. Boom done!

Hacks and diys are my thing.

Rez sterilizer.

Diy pollen tumbler.

Low pressure.

And these are great if you have multiple tents.

Hey @Coffeeholic all of my grow area's are in the same room. I have several of the remote weather sensors like you have pictured. The last time i tried setting up multiple units i had trouble with one picking up the wrong sensor. Any tip on how to solve that issue?

 

[Coffeeholic]

I didn't have any problems. Make sure all have good batteries and do the head unit last.

Was that just a rotisserie motor you used for that tumbler? And do you use it just for male pollen, or do you use it as a keif harvester too?

 

[Coffeeholic]

I just read the instructions.

 

[Coffeeholic]

It's a 12v moter geared to 10 rpm. I use it for kief.

I will try again. I know one of the remotes was close to a meter. I also have both head units together( maybe that could be a issue). I am enclosing a shot of the head units ( ignore the distracting picture in front of them). Everything would be working fine but from time to time they would both pick up the same sensor.

 

[Coffeeholic]

I didn't know you were running 2 head units.

 

[Coffeeholic]

The one I have has 3 remote sensors plus the head unit in my lung room

 

[Capt. C]

I suspect i would need something like what you have . Also surprised to read the medal part i do not recall reading that in my instructions. One sensor is in a metal cabinet and flower closet has a metal door. I am getting where i really do not need the data when i walk into the main room i can pretty much feel if there is a problem. Once you have run a room multiple times and looked at the head unit data 50,000 times you have a pretty good idea what is going on in there.

I like the color scheme on those units what brand are they?

 

[Coffeeholic]

Just cheap crap from China.

@spyralout i will check but i am fairly certain they are LaCrosse units. If so they make a bunch of different ones. What @Coffeeholic is showing would be perfect for me. Also about the same price as well.

 

[Coffeeholic]

That price is Canadian funds. Lol

 

[Dankman_420]

Mine is a lacrosse unit. Works really good

Here is a nice one. I think this one was a hair over 80 usd.

I have a thermopro unit I just need to buy more remote pods. It's back lit orange, but I like that color scheme you have. Then again, it's more about accuracy and idk how accurate thermopro is.
