I was just curious how fast the 'average' person can trim a pound. I've had experience before, but it was a few years ago and with someone else. I was wondering if anyone had a general idea of how long it would take?
how fast can one trim a pound?

depends on the strain..... the flower to leaf ratio...... it could take has short has one hour to trim a pound or has long has 2-3... it all depends on leafiness, and how well you wanna manicure......... if a leaf is super sugary i leave that bad boy on there.....

Easily takes a full days work to trim a pound, of course it depends on the quality of your manicuring skills but it takes longer than people think....

You're trimming a pound in an hour? I'd hate to see the kind of trim job you end up with. You're able to sell it?

never grow to sell...
grow for the sake of growing then sell after that, growing for the sake of selling is wrong and gives bad names to growers who just want to be left alone.
also ever heard of a trim pro?
Is this Trim Pro you speak of an automatic trimmer??? that chews on your nuggets while deleafing them??? lazy, thats the sorta thing someone who is all about profit and turnover does, where is the love as the black eyed peas sang...

3 of us trim 4 p in 4 hrs
prep and clean up
but on the same day you gotta clean the grow room and get the next lot in
and get rid of the rwool and leaf
this takes me and a mate 4 hours
all up the big day takes 8 to 10 hrs
btw what do you guys do with your grow medium and unused leaf

Wehn I worked a couple of years ago it was with my bf and we did a pound in probably about four hours (we were smoking and drinking while we were doing it too) so about six hours for one person is probably about right. It's a lot of work, but I guess it pays off in the end. A whole week of that and your in some easy cash

"btw what do you guys do with your grow medium and unused leaf"------ Probably make hash out of it.

I keep the trim from bud cuts
but the big fan leaves I dig a hole in the back garden
but the fucking rockwool
ya can't dump it or burn it
and it's not sort of stuff ya want in your bin or hanging around in the garden
right now I gotta pay a dude to off it
pain in the ass

The trim off 4P should make at least 35 grams of quality hash, then i would use the leaves even after that for oil, or fat extraction. i like to smoke hash, and i like to eat pot products as well. usually i can get a friend to help me trim by offering some of the hash as payment : P

If you're looking to trim a pound, expect ATLEAST a days work. If you are doing a quality job that will be appreciated by others, then it should take you longer. The Leaf to Flower Ratio on your plants will make a difference. Some nugs will be rock hard, frosted, with few leaves that come right off. Not everyone is this lucky tho, and chances are you will have lots of growth that needs to be trimmed down, or completely off. I would plan on 1 oz of dry cured bud per hour, per person trimming. Some strains or for those who can go thru it quick and still do a good job, 2 oz dry cured per hour. Which means 1 lb, you're easily talking between 8-16 hours.

It depends to a large extent, on the size of the buds.
Big buds take about half the time to trim as small buds.
You can trim a pound in six hours, but realistically you got to take some breaks, your fingers and back hurt.
So with breaks, it comes out to about eight hours.
If it's all small buds that are a little wet, it could take 12 hours to trim a pound.
