Oh phototrons are cool, I don’t think they make them right now

The company is not around anymore but here’s a thread from my recent SWC/TRON grow…Matanuska Thunder Head strain…
There’s similar stuff on the market, just really expensive. I know I wouldn’t drop $1200 to grow one plant at a time
Just realized that’s a tower setup, but if you take the tower down it’d be basically the same thing.
I saw those…the top of the line Phototrons went for $750…I still have 1 that’s still in a box unused…I had a total of 7 of them 2 or 3 and I bought outright and the rest were given to me because I gave people clone only strains and they just gave it to me because they couldn’t make it work…

Wow you are right, I’m good I need room and am fortunate enough to have a space where I can keep auto’s right out on the table. I do like not having to do 12/12 and think it is cool that when I grow a regular variety I could make seeds right there without the tent. I still will do photoperiod there are just too many wonderful strains out there. I have been reading about regular non feminized auto seeds and see they exist so my hunt begins, I see some seedbanks offer them, seems a really stable high quality smoke would be the target.
Same, I defoliate to help even. I have my first plant with internodes under 1" so that’ll be a real fun test of my trimming.

Idk, I like flowering in 12/12 cuts 6 hours a day off my electric bill.
I picked up one of those for this next harvest. Haven’t used it yet but it has good reviews including from someone on OG.

Pet supplies?
I’ve tried with a regular kitchen silicone brush and it was a bit unimpressive. It was only a half assed attempt admittedly. I imagine these bristles are stiffer.

Wtf dude, you spying on me? JUST got one delivered wed… played just a little but weed needs to dry a bit still…
Bristles are stiffer than my basting brush, fatter too. But not much stiffer. Gonna be fun to try. I hate hand cramps from scissors!

They are stiffer and I believe there’s a texture to them too. Some people tried both and said there was a definite difference with the cannabrush. I’ll have quite a bit of trimming in the next few weeks so I’m hoping it does good by me!
My hands have been put through the wringer for the past 25 years and it’s caught up. I play guitar and certain chord shapes make my left hand ache, trimming is miserable for me. When you grow baseball bat tentacle monsters that’s a lot of trimming!

I knew playing bass would be to my advantage one day! Fat strings, and minimal chords make for strong hands ROFL
It seems like the cannabrush will be rougher than a boutique trim obviously, I wonder if the buds have to be so dry that it works, but also I can see it knocking off a ton of trichs… I use a small roughneck bin to trim in so it would catch it all. I’ll see in a week or so I think…

Yeah the people who have use it have said that the dryer it is the better it works and that it’s pretty good but not as good as a hand trim.
And bass huh? Don’t forget all the space between the strings which make life easier too.
33 years… a little outta practice these days, but it doesn’t take much to pick one up and get back in a groove. Don’t forget the longer neck. LOL
Some autos I cut last week almost wont need a trim, the fans were dieing back nicely, I look at em hanging and think… “hmm… silicone tips on chopsticks would pull those little leaf bits out easily”. I’ve hit them with the cannabrush and it takes a few “hits”, pretty much on par with their usage video, but I did see dust (trichs) flying if I got too rough.
Hey, just another tool in the arsenal, maybe let my hands wrest a bit from the scissors. Can’t justify a motorized trimmer really… And those bowl trimmers look interesting but so many mixed reviews about em

I figure if the brush even cuts out half the trimming I have to do then it was worth the investment. I’m usually trimming right around a pound at a time. The bowl trimmers look like too loose a trim for my tastes from what I’ve seen.
And don’t forget the best part of playing bass- you can skip band practice and no one will even notice! 
That’s a very expensive pastry brush.

f’in wiseguy! Always gotta be the guitarist… Ya NEVER hear a drummer say that
And agree, the bowl trimmers look super fluffy still… And I dont understand the prices of commercial ones, other than they think companies have more money. There’s not a lot to them when it comes down to it… Seriously thought about making my own and have 3 different ideas in mind… The basics of just trimming the sugar leaves without destroying the buds doesnt seem too hard to do…
