I'm confused...why do you dread the task so much if you have a trimmer?
I was rolling hard when trimmers hit the market but I knew my folks were spoiled AF...and they'd balk at the change in appearance of the buds. It was my "job"...so I took the time. I totally get it...but I just never fell for it/made the "jump"/left the cave. LOL. There were no dispensaries raping buds then...so everyone had far different standards re "bag appeal".
Coincidentally...I just went and found a thread from about 15 years ago last week... and saw one of my old grows...and the comment that followed....
Aug 4, 2010. (my old lifetime...pre the death of my son...growing for/following the $$$)
"I finished the trim last night. 5 days...6 pounds...and about 50 hours of micro-trimmin'. Haaarrrrump!
A trimmer woulda made the job a snap, but then everything woulda looked like fuckin' BROCCOLI! All that time and effort deserves a hand job. At least that's what I keep telling the wife! LOL."
At least I'm consistent in my opinions whether you approve of them or not....
"Trim on"!!!
