Im 2 days away from being 5 weeks into flower, can you guys think of anything I would need to buy now so im prepared for harvesting etc, Im not sure what all kinda things I will need for that, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. So far Iv got microscopes, pruning shears, scales and Iv got a lot of big Douwe Egberts glass coffee jars I thought might do for storing buds in.
I was looking at trimming trays, thought one of them would be handy but they are kinda expensive and id rather not order anything too big and suspicious like at this stage especially from amazon, would I need to get some humidity packs or anything like that too

Boveda packs are a must for me because Im in a high humidity country. I also prefer using drying racks than hanging. In saying that I do hang dry for 3ish days then it branches and place on racks. I find that the buds stay more compact when using racks.
@yoda Thanks Yoda, yea Boveda packs, thats the very things Iv been thinking about getting, a lot of them have different % RH, does it depend on the climate you stay in as to which % PH ones you should get, its cold most of the time here.
Just had a look on amazon, Is it those 6 layer hanging drying racks you use, never realised you got things like that, iv only ever seen the single flat screen things

I stay very basic. My buds hang dry on the stem. I use cheap plastic trays available locally for trimming and a pair of fiskars to trim. Never have used any bodeva packs, no need if dried correctly in my situation and I’m told they impart a taste. As long as you dry it correctly there shouldn’t be a problem unless you live an a crazy humid place. You have what you need.

@stootie hi mate
those trim trays are too £££ for what they if you ask me
I use a plastic potting tray £10 ish
After removing the trim you’ll have a layer of trichromes on the tray you can collect and sieve to clean or use friction cleaning method (see the Dank Dutchess or Frenchie Canoli vids for more on this)
roll on harvest time ! 👊
Spend your money on a couple types scissors (spreads trimming strains if you use diff kinds wh sprung and not sprung) 😉 with hours of trimming this can be worth it imp
also consider some bubble bags for sieving your trim tricheomes out for hash making 😁
Time to pop some more beans 😗
@monkeydo Nice one, cheap and basic is my middle name, so i'll get a plastic tray and I should be ready when they are. crazy humid wont be a problem here unless theres a dramatic change in the weather pattern.haha Thanks for that mate, sorted

@chillbert Yea some of those trays look pretty cool but there was nothing cool about the price, I ordered an Aray 4 +Red on friday so I wasnt wanting to be spending more on expensive trays if I didnt have to.
And youve answered my next question already, I was going to ask if you keep the trimmings, I'll have a look for those vids. cheers
This is the scissors I bought,
I'll have a look for another pair of scissors and some bubble bags too, be a lot cheaper than buying one of those fancy weed pimps trays anyway Cheers for that mate

You’ll enjoy your array bro for sure.. I’ve a regular and a 10% far red, also a UV above in my open loft set up for flowering (got fed up with the tent but still use the frame )
Just had a spring clean after getting rid of some unwanted visitors and ready for for my next run and Percy diary!

@stootie, Look for the 5 pack of bubble bags. I made the mistake of buying the 8 pack or something and don't need them all. You only need 4, and you also won't need them until after your harvest, dry time, and cure. So nothing immediate, it could wait. hope this helps. 🙂
@chillbert Yea im looking forward to getting it, wont be here for a wee while yet tho. I'll get it tried out when I start my next grow tho. I like that setup youve got there, looks shit hot, I'll need to see if I can find a bigger cupboard around here somewhere and get something like that some day too.haha I'll keep an eye liftin for your new diary too mate and hope the unwanted visitors stay fucked off
