Saw your video of it, highly considering it... Il probably do a side by side on quality loss since weed science loves to say you lose to much.

Week 6 day 3. or day 45 in flower.
Looked at the trics and they are almost all cloudy, but development is alright, going to be waiting for the 10% amber and then starting flush, Might have to clamp the LED side and add water manually. It would work since the room is currently all on one RDWC system or just disconnecting it from the hoses, either way.
Anyways heres some bud shots, Im looking for the farthest along buds not the biggest, Ill shot the donkey dick cola in the back once I harvest, all of it is looking good, Mites are still gone and wont be coming back Ive been pulling fan leaves and checking them. Buds are in order.
DEHPS, HPS, and COB.... we know which one is the winner, and these were the best I could spot for each area.

I've seen the videos of people doing it. Doesn't seem that difficult. I would accept 5% loss in quality for what would normally take days taking a few mins. Look up a few videos on it before assuming that it's bad. All the buds look like fine hand trim.do it by hand my man,do it with pride and the plant will reward you with the dank

Maybe I'll run a side by side on it if I can rent a bag and see what the tests say. To we can see if there are losses or it's just old timers not wanting to get with the times.

so you didnt watch the video lol.you cant always do shit the easy way with a live plant.if you think i like hand trimming your wrong,i hate it.im also a long time hash maker so i know a few things about a trichome and if you guys are trying to tell me that putting dry buds in a bag and shaking them around for 2 to 3 mins is not breaking off massive amounts of those trichomes you really dont know much about the plant lol.if it was easy everyone would be doing it.good luck with your duffle bag experiment,i tried haha.just forget i mentioned it,i just wanna see your final numbers here without starting a big argument .peace

I agree.
Great Video too.
I can't bring myself to rent the machine trimmer. It's $500 to rent n some of my boys swear by it. The bud looks good too when it's done. But just not good enough for me.
I want mine to be straight jar weed.
Last run, which is documented here took 2 solid weeks to hand trim w/ me n 1 other person. 2 rooms back to back. It's tiresome & consumes you from the time you wake up to the time you fall out.
The way it looks when we're done is incredible though. Every piece done w/ TLC.
Anything else is turning top-shelf into what looks like commercial nug.
Believe me, if there was a way to get it that way w/o having to dedicate so much back breaking time, I'd be bout it bout it.
If I can't bring myself to use a $9000 trim machine, there's NO way in hell I'd shake my work in a bag or even use Toms Tumbler.
Nothing preserves the quality like hand trimming w/ scissors.
We work way to hard for 4-5 months to produce the finest product possible.
For those growing commercially or offing for mad cheap, I get using a trimmer.
It's just not for me.

is that done with the bag? looks good. i would use it on test strains that arent top shelf for sure. i hate trimming by hand but thats the only way to go for top shelf, but when you are popping beans and you have a few plants that are sub par i would love to be able to toss them in the bag and shake my frustrations away

4g's! Damn. Wish I had peepz in areas like that. Prices just keep dropping where I'm at. 3 yrs ago was 36, then 32, last year I was @ 28, now it's 24-26 for singles n 2-23 for 5-10 packs. It's terrible & very disheartening.yeah man that jungle boys is way bigger and better than anyone on this site.if they have time to hand trim then anyone does.either that or you just dont care about top shelf and are will to except less for your product.i won a trim machine,anyone wanna buy it lol.we tried it a few dif ways,my people always know its different and not as nice as our hand trimmed stuff.but i guess thats why im able to get 4k a lb for everything,and i dont consider myself a "hobby grower"
