a bunch of time. i'm loving the way this is working out. i don't know what took me so long.

i am seeing minimal resins stuck to the grill. i really don't think this is any worse than scissors. i'm still waiting to see some fully dried though.

i can imagine you have bits of trim on your clothes, the floor, everywhere. A "hobo stoner" could get quite high sweeping your floor for you.

i forgot what color viper? did you say yellow? red? i think money green would be appropriate.

I was going to buy " The Big Red Shredder" or possibly the same brand as FDD's but fully automated. Only problem is I'm not growing under a canopy so mold and rot is more of an issue for me. just wasn't worth it cause I really needed to inspect the majority of it, so hand trimming it is. Maybe next year.

it all gets trimmed down to bite sized nuggets before it goes into the machine.



my wife and i are banging out at least a pound a day, working on it about 5 hours per day. i have dry stuff i'm trimming as well so we switch back and forth. i do fresh during the morning and day and dry during the evening. it's going faster than i ever imagined.



worth EVERY penny. i should have bought this 4 years ago. :wall:


makes it fun again as well. :-P

If you have to use fresh plant parts on the trimmer, how are you drying the trimmed bud? With screen racks? Looks like a good $600 investment.

lovely buds fdd :D

but i'm still curious to know why the hand powered trimming machine
costs $425USD? it doesn't look like it should cost anywhere near that
much but it still is a very handy thing to have.
