how long does it take to hand trim 1 puond?

[LeeroySlim]

just what the title says got a few to do and wondering how long it would take me or am i better off with a bud trimmer

 

[Milesmkd]

I'm curious 2. I'm gunna have about 5-7 LBS to trim. I don't recomend an electric bud trimmer either.

it takes 4 hours a pound, using a pair of fiskars.

thanx mate

yeah if you really get down. sounds about right all though it takes me all day to trim one but if you bust your ass for 4 hours that sounds like a gud estimate I would say 6

 

[LeeroySlim]

crap dont say 6 your killing my life stickscis

if it is good and dry use a shop vac. it will suck off all the leaves and just leave the budds behind. use a clean vac and take the filter out and what is left is great for making hash.i have both seen it done and have done it you just have to make sure the buds are good and dried out

just any vacuum cleaner with a smaller tip im assuming?

I would hand trim it if its hella bomb. I trim 4 pounds a month it sucks but its worth it right?

actually I lied I dont trim 4 pounds a month I trim probable 1 and a half and I pay people to trim the rest

Well, I'm never going to believe anything you say again!

It takes me and a partner 4 hours together to trim a pound. Of course, we play chess and get high a lot so things slow down.

yeah getting other ppl its out of the question. maybe ill do the big ones by hand all all the little shitty popcorn ones with a machine

it all depends on the nugs to. the fat ones go quicker if you have a premature harvest shit it can take all night with a couple people. then agian if I really sit down and just work I think I average about 2 ounces a hour mayby 2 and a half

 

[MrStickyScissors]

so yeah 6 to 8 hours would be about exact

its funny how when its drying you cant wait to see how much per plant you yield then after you start trimming its like the shittiest job ever. im lucky my wife and my mom help me trim

your killing me first i thought i can live with 4 then it went to 6 now 8 i wish i can -rep u, im not looking forward to harvest, wish i grew with CLFs lol

That's a good way to loose half your tricones.

damn that's fast. I'd say with prep/cleanup etc the whole deal takes me around 6-8 hours to trim an lb.

 

[LeeroySlim]

so for commerical growers who need to trim over 100pounds can not deliever a good quality product caz they would have to use bud trimming machines and this would damage trics?

 

[sparkabowl]

Man, I am really slow. This was my first real grow, but I have trimmed before. I guess I will get better with time. I got maybe 3 ounces and it took me three nights of trimming, starting at around 10 PM and stopping around 2 AM - and I wasn't trying to be all anal about it either!
