I know I haven't posted in awhile, busy time of year for me, the holidays, a few family birthdays and of course it’s harvest time for those of us so fortunate that we can have an outdoor grow happening.
“Abe” came back from the triangle, to the home front, being that he just finished up his outdoor season up north., He had plenty of fresh flowers, of various strains, all very pungent in aroma,
ahhh bros, out comes the GDP….. Headband Kush…… Blue Dream….. here check the Blue Dream out, nice rock hard, full formed flowers, and as always, that Blue Dream aroma…… its just so hard to get this kind of bouquet with indoor.
So the first of the two things……… are the new HydroFarm scissors, they call them “HydroFarms Precision Pruners”, with “holster”, they come straight or curved bladed. So when I jumped in to help with the trimming of the homeboy’s labors, I got the chance to give them a real workout. Now I’ve been a “hope to die”, orange buttoned “Fiskars,” needle point scissors Fan, since I started trimming. The old standby, that most people use, or at least know of.
HydroFarm’s Pruners have that classic “Fiskars” shape, but the twist, is they include a holster, which was a nice touch. If you use “Fiskars” , I have and I’m sure their are others like me, that always lose or break that orange release button. The spring and latch assembly are the weak point on that design. HydroFarm has put the latch assembly under the spring, unlike the “Fiskars” which has it above the spring, I sure this was done to stop that Orange button problem. Anyway I cant speak for the strength or design of the belt loop attachment, on the HydroFarms holster/sheath, as I don’t wear them, like that…. but it looks hefty enough.
So after….. oh I’d say……. around 4 or 5 lbs., of various strains, trimmed up. I can say that they held up well, I prefer a straight blade, but I was using both curved and straight to form a opinion on both, both curved and straight bladed models were nice and balanced.
The curved model was great for those “pine cone” shaped flowers, It may have to much curve for my liking, but others may find it acceptable. Now if you have those “bumble bee stung, bumpy type” flowers, the curved blade may not be the best choice. Also I found that cleaning the curved blade was somewhat difficult but not impossible. It was hard to get a really good scrape in there. All in all though I found them to be an outstanding tool, the price at around 10 bucks retail, was right in the ballpark, and the holster alone would make me want to recommend this HydroFarm product. Of course….. I’d go straight bladed…… myself
So now the second of my two things…. 4 me there isn't nothing like a trimming flowers for a few 3 or 4 hours and then taking a break and having a puff, nice warm drink, and a little sugar… Bros.. have you checked out the new Betty Crocker “Warm Delights Hot Fudge Brownie”
Friends…. huh…. eating, drinking, and smelling the aroma of Blue Dream, adrift in the air…. Heaven Bros….straight Heaven…… In Santa Cruz, CA…
I want to say that the homie “Abe” is the sheezit…. for letting me trim through his “labors” in testing the HydroFarm product. All his strains had outstanding aroma, with good flower formation. The HeadBand Kush was a little leafy, and a bitch to trim (just being honest, Homie) it made up for it in bouquet, and High though..
So until again……….
