It pretty well minces the trim, and any popcorn that didn't fall thru the grate (say 1/2") came out nicely trimmed. It trims popcorn better than I do. We ran about 8-9lbs of wet buds thru in about 3hrs. You could easily run 20+lbs wet, thru in a day. For $500 you can't go wrong.....

shit man...my wife will not like to see this...she was paid $1200 last month to trim 6 pounds!

Thank you bro, we're very happy with this machine, I'm sure you will be too. I'm a very lucky man & I know it, we've been married twice as long as either of us were single. We've been married for 40+ years. She married me when I was 19 and headed for Vietnam........I am a lucky man indeed......That's the log cabin I built for her when I returned.......

Next october harvest we will get the trim bot for sure,not needed for our indoor buds since we have 2 built in filipina trimmers on the farm we pay them $25 bucks a plant and they are happy campers.

Sure like the log cabin you built...do you still own her?

Going out door next spring with 24 plants(Calaveras county limit per parcel)over 5 acre parcel.
First we need about $3000.00 to build a fenced in yard(6 foot tall cedar pickets)
Was thinking the set up will be 48"x48"x24" planter's...spaced 6 foot on center.
What do you think...is 2lbs per plant possible?

sounds good...3 or 4lbs
My problem is the height of the plant?we have a bunch of traffic around here hwy12 is only 700 feet away from the farm,so to hide the weed from rippers is a concern to us.
Also,we would like to run 12 strains to help fill out our wm menu.
do these 200 gallon smarties get root bound?

depends on the size of your plants. We are going to use 400's & hoping for 5lb plants...
Good luck with the rippers, the fence will draw their attention....that may not be the best spot to try this....good luck

Do not include the local police into your security plan. They do not want to help you guard your pot plants. They are more than likely find a rule violation & shut you down, than to be on pot watch all season. Stealth is your best friend.....

Location is not the best,for sure.This round at least I will put up cameras and be able to see who the rippers are this time.Last September the rippers hauled all the plants off before sun up and we had a cameras and my dog snores,he never heard them sneak on in to the grow yard.

Sorry to revive this old thread, but I was wondering.. Do you go back through and do a hand trim, or just let the Trimbot take care of it? Mine come out leafier than those pictures you posted without a hand trim/touch-up afterwards.
What speed have you found best?

Thanks,
Ex

we ran it on high, let it run longer if you want it trimmed shorter. We did a little hand touch up. But that thing trims popcorn buds better than by hand for sure & made many small buds sellable. I would say it paid for itself in added lbs of popcorn buds if nothing else...

Hell ya thanks bro! I've only ran mine on low, was nervous to run it on high but I will have to give that a try & let it run a little longer. Also, how close did you get the blades? Mine is so close it practically scrapes the grate (does sometimes) was curious what you have found to be best?
