@REALSTYLES was praising them a while ago and put up a vid or two of him using one. I asked him about it but I don't think he replied.

I cant see any method been as good as by hand but it can be soul destroying and time consuming.
I guess if someone was doing 4lb every few weeks you wouldn't care so much about all the damage done to the buds, probably better for your back in the long run. You cant buy a new back ( I don't think)

And it is lol. I still like my really old trim pro (I have 4 lol) for the initial wet trim if I’m doing large (rare now) but I can control how close to take it for the most part, although it does eat the odd little bud :(. The biggest thing is to keep the blades razor sharp. I run them through my diamond 4 stage knife sharpener, thanks kids ;). if I’m doing a few plants at a time I’ll do it by hand with the girlfriend. If I do bring it out this fall I’ll try the pam on it as well.

By hand, with a dental pick, fiskars to clear the fans and lop nugs from main branches.

After that when dried properly a dental pick can remove all the bits of leaf that I don't want in my head stash.

If it has a stem why is it in my flowers? If it's an alternating cluster of nuggies on a small wooden stick... remove them from the stick and discard the stick please.

There should be no bract leaves/stem protruding from "trimmed" flowers (see it a lot)
There should be no central stem holding alternating nug sites (remove the freaking stem)

I understand if you grow or trim for $ this isn't economical.

Since for the most part, I'm the only one smoking what I grow, other than a few show buds, or ones I'm going to give away, my smoke gets trimmed on the rolling tray. That way if I never get around to smoking it, and it goes into the oil pile, I won't have wasted my time trimming it.

But what I trim at harvest, I dry trim with the little Fiskars. On the rolling tray, I just pull the leaves loose by hand.

Wow and I thought the wife and I were extreme in our manicures :D, Nice work! I admit occasionally there will be the remnants of a stem left from us, no dental pick :D. 95% of our trimming is done wet. I am not into trying to save the finger hash, if we want hash we make hash so for cleaning the scissors I just hit the blades with a lighter quickly then wipe off with a paper towel the scissors look like new quickest and best way to clean them during a trim session that we have found.

The trim bag rocks and it doesn’t damage the buds

I only do six plants a year and they usually finish with staggered times since they're all different. So whichever finishes first gets dried and trimmed first. I do it the old fashioned way... I sit on the back porch with a BIG metal mixing bowl and a pair of curve blade garden scissors. If I had more than six plants I'd be using what you're talking about.

I saw plenty of trimming concoctions at the Emerald Cup(or any Cup event for that matter). There's a lot to choose from out there.
