Just used this thing for the first time. Not impressed. Maybe I need to adjust the blade or switch it out to the pefrerated blade, but as stock, not impressed at all.

Oops .. buds are still wet , lol. Just checked..they're at 22%, they need to be at 11% they're In the make shift Cannatrol I made at the moment. One week down, maybe another for it to dry real good.

Alright, we'll let them dry out some more. We did switch the blade, seemed to help.

That's not encouraging hearing i hope after you've messed around with it you can get a satisfactory job from it.

I'll try it again next week. Maybe the just 5 turns both ways to get the job done was over hyped? I turned it way more than that. My dries are usually done within a week, but because of the cooler weather here might take 2 weeks to fully dry.

When I'm hand trimming I don't use scissors I prefer a skewer or pointed something, of you think about all that goes into opening, closing scissors 1000s of times each cut has to be aimed accurately so it's no surprise it's time consuming.

Using a pointed tool/skewer it's sort of like drawing full stops/periods on paper, you can sit your hands rested in your lap it's more a wrist movement and 10x faster and more a thorough job tbh.

Even horrible fox tails aren't terrible, on ave I can do 150g per hour that's a fraction of the time it would've taken me with scissor.

Gonna try that stick idea! I like to trim by hand with a mate if possible, makes it much easier to blast through a batch

It definitely makes a difference exactly what you're putting in there. And experience will help, yes. Those look great, I like the shag personally.

I trimmed up some buds tonight that I'd normally leave and trim a small amount as i need it, I've smoked the best bud this is the size of buds that are left.

I spent about 2hrs for 176g and I'm pleased with the job tbh especially so being the smaller nuggets.

Have a nice weekend folk's
