I'm sure the manufacturer of it would sell it with bigger openings but regulations won't let them for safety reasons but it works great

I know with me buying and using a wet trimmer it has sped up my harvest considerably. I work a lot and I usually only sleep 3-4 hrs a night during harvest. Been doing that for a couple weeks now. Looks I'll be done with my first harvest in 2 weeks with 4 plants about mid November and my greenhouse that has over 200 plants I flipped on oct 10. Thought 10/10/15 would bring me some good fortune. Lol last year I was still trimming dried buds on into June but I thought I was fixing to get popped and let some guys hold onto my bud that was yet to be defoilated. All buds had been cut off the plants and had no fan leaves. Just sugar leaves. I weigh all the bud stems and trim and I know how much on average bud weighs vs trim. One guy had 5 lbs another 3 and I forgot what one got but wasn't a whole lot. But one that lives closer to me got 30.5 lbs. He ended up giving me back about 1 lb and said that's all their was. He was freaking out about their being so much when I come over with it all in the middle of the night. He's the only one who even gave me anything back. One I have no clue where he's at but he's still around here somewhere and Another went to Florida. So I lost a shit ton of money and had nothing for several months.
Anyways I learned by trial and error that the grates on the trimmer need to be cleaned fairly often and have another costing of oil on it so the buds tumble. I was ready to throw my trimmer in the ditch with the way it was tearing up all my buds, it would rip them up and be sucked down in the grate and cut up. Took me a few hours of scrubbing with alcohol to get off the resin build up. Some varieties are worse than others. So I just run about what a lb of dried bud would be and use an abrasive pad and scrub it. In 5 min it's good to go after I oil it back down with a sponge.
I hired a girl to help me trim as well. Besides being fine she was doing a good job of hand teimming my colas. I paid her for the day and gave her some Girl Scout to smoke. Hadn't showed back up to work but has called wanting more Girl Scout. So I'm not trusting her now. I had a relative I hired a few yrs back and he ended up breaking into the spot where we were trimming at to steal some bud but I had moved it so he then goes to another spot and breaks down the door and grabs several K worth of bud.
This is the reasons why trimmers are sold and guys like me buy them. It's safer for the thieves cause I was ready to do bad things.
If a buyer doesn't like the 1/4 long dried leaves on the bud them trim it off yourself. If you want me to do it I'll do it but I'm gonna charge you 1/3 more for a zip as well. Time is money to me plus hearing your bitching tacks on a bitch tax. Simple as that. So if your buying some bud at a good price and are gonna gripe be prepared to pay more for hand trimmed.
With the amount of bud JJ and Partly cloudy has to trim if they hand trimmed that much it would be next spring before they get done. A machine is just wonderful for making things 50x faster.
I know how much work it takes for big plants it's 7 days a week. I'm sure they would like a weekend off. Personally I havnt had a day off in a couple of yrs and I'm burned out.

Isn't this a great show? I want a table top bad. I wet trim so this would be to just get the big stuff and then touch up by hand.

200$ on eBay we have the blade set real low so it only takes off the big leaves and doesn't touch the bud

Ahhh. Yeah I've been looking at the same one then. Good to know. Just to ease rough trim would be great. Not that I do crazy amounts but shit the hands hurt after a bit ya know. Lol.

We like to leave a little bit of leaf on them it helps with drying but try and get all the big leaf off the table will save you hours of work I recommend making the holes bigger like we did it works a lot better but watch your finger tips it could be a real bad day of you dont

Thanks! Good tip to watch your tips. Lol. You guys are rocking it out there. Just stay safe! Trimming a garden that large would make me nervous... But only because I have a day job. Lol!
Growing is the mistress my wife is enthused about though. Lol. She told me to get on the stick a while back and that she missed my bud. Cracked me up.
