What is the best way to trim pruning buds/plants at harvest for large quanities

you state maximise appearance, then do it by hand. a machine will certainly be useful on that scale but will leave you with comerical looking crappy bag appeal buds. go hire yourself a bunch of mexicans or just find a bunch of friends and get busy. i find that plants only take time to trim if they've had insufficient light and have whispy buds. if the plants got good hard nugs etc, it normally takes about 30 minutes a plant. should only take about a day with 5 of you doing it by hand, which considering the return on the product is more than worth the little bit of effort

Thats kinda off base cus 1 thing I didnt mention is its outdoors and I average about 14 oz's per plant! my plants are usually approx. 8 feet tall 6 feet wide!!I have alway used manual labor but it takes so fucking long to do it! I also cut away alot of sun leaves during flowering and use strains with least amount of leaves on buds! But I need some way of doing mass quantities inn the least amount of time, with best friggin results! There has to be a better way!!!!

only you can work this out... define maximum appearance. if you want maximum appearance you will have to do it by hand. there are machines but you have to choose how important the bag appeal is. i can link you to a machine which will rip the life out of your buds, sure it'll be void of most leaves.. :D

and who the fuck would pay someone $20 an hour to use a pair of scissors?!?? especially a mexican. i would trim for you for free if i could have a joint every hour or two. have you never heard of trimming parties?

you are talking about harvesting 130+ pounds of marijuana and you are complaining about having to put some hard work in, or for having to pay a bit of monye for labour, sheeeeeeeeeeeesh.

and 150 plants at 14 ounces at 8x6foot outdoors, i want to see pictures of this :)
