I dont know, maybe Im just getting lazy but all that extra plant material adds up. I dont like keeping it around.
Yea, you are right though. I'll bubble the trim, Probablly just a couple bags of that. But no fan leaf material.

agreed, pluck the fans and trash them first and then just save the trim and bubble that. Saves time...

but if you really wanna go big & be lazy get a washing machine and plumb the drain through your bags lol works great.

you need to invest in one of these. cut out all your fan leaves, throw in the buds, all your left is good trimmed buds and all your trimmings for your bubble hash. you can also pick up a great drying rack off ebay for 40 or 50 bucks. with the size of the monsters youre gonna need more then your cab space for drying especially if you want to keep each strain seperated. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZR-v4n50uw

Now that thing is cool. I have seen some hand held ones, like electric scissors really.
Man did you see how fast that is?

But $500 I wonder if I can build one?
I'm thinkin a weed wacker and a grill of some sort.

yea i agree about the amount, but dam thats take all the triming out of it, and when you deal in bulk, that the only way to go. bro if you build one than do to one for me.

ya that thing looks kinda ghetto for 500 bucks... I would think you could copy that design and make a more solid looking one for 1/4 of the price.

They key to how it works is inside. Unless you have access to a cnc mill, I don't think your going to replicate it very easy with things around the house or homedepot. If it was 250 i'd buy one right now, but at 4 it is an investment... but if you have to hire help, this more then makes up for that.

It doesn't work THAT great (but admittedly I'm a fucktard who can't do much right at all).

Assuming you can design a contraption to hold the bags up while they drain water (by far the worst part for me, and a pretty simply stand to build), than the entire process could be (just about) fully automated and you wouldn't really have to do shit - even if you "only" get 1/2 ounce of hash from your fan leaves (yeah, with that amount of fan leaves you're gonna have and assuming they're gonna get crystally, a 1/2 ounce is prolly reasonable), that makes it worthwhile, IMO.

Now I'm off to do some more work in the garage.

Ha!
Thats some funny shit dude.
You mentioned there were bubbles when you drained to the bags, from what I understand you are susspose to let it settle for like 20 min before draining. Maybe that lowered your yield.


Hey nugs,
Yea Bubba hasnt got much attention but she sure is a sweet girl. unlike most heavy girls I know. LOL
Anyway, she is about 5 feet tall 3 feet wide, more resistant to spider mites then Blue Cheese.
I topped her once at about 4 feet. Now a couple side branches have reached the top. Some pics,
She is back there. LOL




No, Here ya go.
I got her sisters out of the way.










She has been the darkest green out of all of them and the most pronounced fat indica leaves. I just know she is gonna produce some fat colas. She is my donkey cola bitch. "Long as my arm I tell ya"

I wonder if you took a six inch fan with that plastic fan blade in it. cut the fan blades back, basicly removing 90% them but leaving 1/4 in or so. Drill a small hole at the blade base and take some spokes from a bycycle rim, cut them to fit and thread them through the small holes. bend the existing fan guard to a position about 1/8 away from spokes.

hum. wadda ya think? Trimmer?

I got a fan I dont need and a bike I dont ride.

heres how these goofy ass guys did it. ive seen the other trimmer in action in real life and am convinced. cuts close with no bud damage and countless man hours of trimming.
