I don't know of a Canadian source. couldn't they just ship it to you?
When I first used the timbot I just pulled buds off the stem and tossed them in. The only hand trimming needed was the base of the largest leaves at the base of each bud.
So the next batch, I took the time to pull those leaves (& only those) off before I dropped them in the trimbot, = bag ready buds!
Yes I ran 4 different strains thru
Good luck...

I have used and seen many of the rotory like the trim pro and would not use again. It just beats the buds and knocks the trichs off of it making a lesser quality bud. Might be ok if your growing cheaper commercial in batches. I have used and do use things like both of these which are much less rough .. http://growershouse.com/humboldt-harvester-ultimate-leaf-trimmer and for the rough trim up http://www.bonsaihero.com/

Post a link, but yeah it sounds like the same one. It didn't have any name on it when it arrived. We nicknamed it; the trimbot.
