Quick Questions about Trimming.

[bigmanc]

-good
-Spray bottle while trimming, I don’t have to spend hours cleaning it when returning it. Usually have too.
- 1 tumbler
- tumbler gets stuck from res, clean blades
-not loosing much, but some - fair compromise
-defoliate your fans, I do, loose lots of hash from blower/bag
-1 person can debuck and run trimmer but at a slower rate

It’s a good machine, not making investment due to legalization up coming

I do have a couple guys that trim for me so yes, I would hire trimmers. Also, I just picked up a Greenbroz trim machine and it does a great job. It's pretty freaking close to hand trim quality by itself. I could run the flowers through it and be done with it and I highly doubt anybody would complain about the trim job, but I have my guys do whatever little touch-up needs to be done and it's perfect. I'd say it's definitely worth the price. Keeping up with the machine is the hardest part.

I looked into this unit, and it really doesn’t do it for me.
This video is what really turned my off of it.

What a fuckin JOKE that trim machine is. That's just great !!! Roll the fuckin buds around until their round and Trich free. Can you imagine what a stomping those buds are taking. No wonder the dispensary bud is round Brussel sprout balls of fur-less trash mostly.
I'd put my hand trim up against that crap any day. At least you get all the trich's you deserve from me.
I'd rather smoke the shavings from that machine than the final baldy buds they are flogging.
I suppose the LP's use those garbage producing machines to further ruin the shit they grow.
Sorry but hand trimming is the ONLY way to produce the BEST product. Rolling buds around until they are bald is just plain pathetic.

But what do you do when you spend 4 days a month trimming? 4 hours sounds better.

The cash croppers love all the extra kief, they can sell the same bud twice this way.

I don’t wanna lose any but I know that’s not going to happen, I just want my weekends back,

I don’t think I’ll try to make any $ at this
As it seems like a PITA business
But I need to do something,
So far I like the Shearline 2.0 & Twister T6

Well this is the difference between craft and commercial. This is the thing with cannabis. As soon as you get too big..... the BIG work/jobs start as well. Thereby causing folks to cut corners.
There just no way to auto trim to the same level.
Auto trim will always look like commercial brussel sprouts tumbled weed. I'd spot the difference in a second.
I know...big harvest...big work....but the weed will suffer for it.

well Hippy...I grow for me...the buds get used and the trim gets used...and my machine saves me a lot of money and head aches...and time...for small grows I agree...larger its a decision folk make...I made mine...actually the wife made the decision...get that trimmer thingy or leave...my tickets are spotted here...))

Ya I may have sounded like I was criticizing those that use trimmers. My Apology offered.
I only mean that using trimmers will always result in less than perfect end results.
I understand that with huge harvests you don't get much choice. I would probably get one as well in that case.

Ya GB...those producers in the US and Canada must laugh at taking the part folks pay for and reselling it to them again. Geez the LP's that don't hand trim must have a salt domes worth of kief by now. I've seen video of some LP's hand trimming. I wonder if they understand the difference maybe??
Maybe they are trying to make it better by hand trimming.

I was just blown away by the pathetic treatment that machine was doing to the buds. If I saw my buds being rubbed bald like that thing does......I'd be horrified.
Hell they might as well rub them over sand paper...same result.
Geez the rental guys must love when they are returned gooey....lots of potential for nice scaping's.

indeed the "finger hash" is a bonus....is why I own the machine....its my meds....I bought a hand held steam cleaner for the clean ups...wife sewed me up a sock for it....my helper says it works great...I'm happy he is happy...he understands I'm a pauper...but will find funds for the right tools...))

I've seen a nice unit for under $500....trying to remember which one now. Most are junk...the one i'm trying to recall wasn't bad for the price at all. ...hmmm
