heh heh. hey, what's up bro. i'm guessing you'll pull a bit over 6 lbs. no problem. but i guess you can't count ur chickens 'till ther dry.
you can trim a decent size plant in about 15 minutes if you set your mind to it. lay down the scissors. move the pot in front of a chair. sit down and quickly strip off all the fan leaves from top to bottom by hand. if they aren't covered in trichomes you may want to pinch off 1 to 3 fan leaves from each individual bud (those toward the bottom of the bud). Use ur fingers to nip leaves shorter if they are only half covered in trichomes. pick up the scissors and nip off the largest top buds individually. lay down the scissors. put the base of a branch/stem between ur middle finger and ur ring finger palm up... squeeze ur vulcan death grip 'live long and prosper' fingers together and slide ur hand up the stem popping off all the smaller buds. repeat on each stem/branch. 15 minutes.
throw the buds into open paper lunch sacks... more than 60 or so grams per sack and you'll have to 'toss' the middle buds to the outside or top of the sack every other day till dried to 1/4 the original harvest weight.
those bud trimmers beat the hell out of the weed. can't imagine how many trichomes they rip off. and damn near all of them are busted open. so you got sticky bud that loses potency quickly 'cuz all the trichomes are ruptured. i'd stay away from anything mechanical unless ur actually trying to knock trichomes off to make hash or something. if you want a 'sharper' trim on the bud themselves you could splurge on a 45 dollar pair of electric clippers/scissors/shears just for nipping off some of the leaves that stick out from the buds.
start on the plants that finish first. and expect that it will take you several days. knock out enough of it that you know you'll be able to finish the rest when saturday and sunday come. even if its an all day, two day affair. I just did 4.5 lbs. myself not too long ago... so keep ur head up
and deffinitely pass on having anyone other than ur significant other helping you. but you already knew that 
deffinitely not such a bad problem to have.
