wow, as my fingers curl under I often saw this as my option, maybe in a few years or so. I dont mind trimming, but realistically I waste like a mutha, cost of doing biz. good enough. all good here, if it wasnt I'd be fooked though, now what trimmer is good? I can trim 16 oz wet down to final buds in 1.5 hour....currently. I save very little under 24-28 inches from topI have pretty severe arthritis that makes hand trimming torture for me so bought a Trimpro Unplugged at half price, still $300, and will sell it for half that to the first bidder!
Just glues the sticky bud leaves to the buds and takes twice as long to snip them out as it does fresh off the plant.
I just changed my grading procedure so I end up with lots more sugar trim and popcorn nugs in the oil pot to cut down on snipping time. Still takes way too long.

I'm going to see if I can get store credit from the shop I bought it from first. Otherwise I'd likely let it go for that if the buyer pays the shipping. The shop is a 5 hour drive away so I'd have to ship it to him anyways. Only in Canada tho.
With wet buds it's not so good.
What do you do with all the stuff below your cutoff line? Donate it to needy patients if not making oil out of it I hope. I found a method for turning fresh green pot into cocobudder so froze all my trimmings and popcorn bud to do it up that way or dry it out later and make kief/BHO with. Saved me a lot of time messing with the smaller buds tho made a smallish yield even smaller I got about a pound of dry trim and older pot laying around from the last couple of grows to process yet.
A fellow on the DIY secction on the forums here did a DIY like this with I think a cheap dremel copy from Harbor Freight or something. It is worth looking at.
i saw somthing once on youtube one of em was like a set of heir clipper u know those vibrating things but it looked more like a comb maybe u could rig somthing up and anouther guy had somthing attached to the end of a vaceum and it sucked up all the trim into a bag it was a good concept i thought im surprised thats not comman plance was a fucken good idiaI have pretty severe arthritis that makes hand trimming torture for me so bought a Trimpro Unplugged at half price, still $300, and will sell it for half that to the first bidder!

I've convinced the wife that helping me with my indoor garden will be beneficial to her bottom line and should be able to get her daughter on board this winter too so I don't have to give away a big chunk of my crops to hire help.
I've thought about just using hair clippers, but then I saw sheep shears. I wonder how well they'd work
If you like all your bud to look like broccoli and taste like grass...be my guest.
iv never used one never even trimmed i get it if u dude nas arthritas or somthing but take the time i say
The big question isn't how well they work but how hard they are to clean when they get gummed up.I've thought about just using hair clippers, but then I saw sheep shears. I wonder how well they'd work
The heads usually pop off. Get some spares and keep a bowl of alcohol handy, I'd suggest 180 proof grain. Just keep swapping and soaking as they gety sticky. Wash them all in the alcohol when done, then evaporate to get the concentrate.The big question isn't how well they work but how hard they are to clean when they get gummed up.
The OG#18 I just did were the worst in a long time for goo on the blades. Needed scraping every third bud and a good clean ever three scrapings. Got lots of scissor hash tho.
We had a bunny that loved fan leaves but never gave it anything with crystal on it.
