Im deff a rookie grower. But one thing i learned quick is that trimming sucks (it might just b me too though). Been thinking about getting a machine. Anyone have any feedback ?
I’ve never done it with a trimmer, I’m old school I hang the whole plant and dry trim, just my preference my friend.
I too prefer hand trimming but I trim with plant standing. Wet trim.
I’ve always taken everything and put on screen to dry.
Again. It’s up to your personal preference.
trim machines work great. especially if you have a roomful of trimming to be done.
otherwise…lots of money for not much use.
your choice
Just gotta get your head in the right space, and view it as a meditation. If you have friends you can trust, turn it into a trim party. Happy harvest!
I’m with you on that one. I have a buddy that always comes to help. I have friends that come up for vacation during outdoor harvest season to help trim. I hook them up nicely for the help. Otherwise it would take me forever. You get a plant that has 10 or more ounces on it you will be begging for help.
I had a roommate about 25 years ago helped one of his friends trim for about three days every fall. Needless to say we had a freezer full pretty amazing smoke. That was nice for those few years I didn’t have any outdoor crops going.
Might help to get the scissors with a spring in the handle that helps the blades open.
Less muscle work.
One week to hand trim 40 oz was a mission , 12 hour days was glad when it was done
