I'm surprised not many people have factored in the quality of the tools. Use the wrong scissors, and by the time you're 2 or 3 hours into it, your fingers are hurting, you've got blisters on the hands and fingers, and it starts to slow you down. Get a good pair of cutters, that fits the hand well and has the right spring tension, and time flies by a lot faster.

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.....

What he said.

It takes me so fucking long. Especially now that I've been dry trimming. I'm way too picky when I trim. And I like to get the base of the sugar leave stem but not touch anything else, so wet trim is so much easier but leaving that stuff on for drying seems to help slow it down and keep the flavor better.

I see many outdoor grows trimmed with one of these, just let the leaf get sucked threw and as it spins around it trims.

I keep the trim from bud cuts

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

I almost fill up pots with old rockwool then put a layer of potting soil on top and feed them hydro nutrients, grows some pretty cool outdoor.

I would highly recommend fiskars micro titanium 5 for heavy tool users. They are spring loaded almost perfectly to keep the finger cramps away and have a nice "hand tool" feel to it.

I am suffering with blisters right now because I couldn't find my good trimming shears. Just went and bought a new pair. Sewing scissors are no substitute! It took me about 4 hrs to trim 5 ozs with the sewing scissors...and my hands are really swollen.
