its like 8 to 10 ozs eachmaybe some detail as to what your doing right now thats taking you 8 hrs per plant so we can critique it a little.
are the Plants REALLY REALLY big cuz if so and u dont have a trimming machine or anyone helping u... i can see it taking 8 hrs lol.
get a couple buddies who you like to burn with and smoke em up on a blizz and have em help you trimm.
and too greedyFriends come in handy around this time?
we pay $20 an hour for good trimmers around here, as well as feeding them lunch and getting them blazed.and too greedy
before i paid them 8 dollar per hour now they are asking 12 dollars so i stopped using any one
i checked youtube and all the trimmers are BS none is good any time you put your buds inside a machine it means you are going to get shakes so far i never saw a trimmer worth buying except you have one you suggestingYou need to find some decent trimmers, and when you do, don't insult them with 8$ an hour. Good trimmers are worth every penny of 20 an hour. It takes the crew of 3, 60 man hours for roughly 12 pounds. Take into account 20 of those MH are free, about a QP paid out for a crop, better than complaining about it.
you think i never did that ?lol almost every day i check youtubego on youtube and look up "trimmers". You can also go to your local hydro store and ask if they would recommend you one. Some of these machines will trim a whole cola off its leaves, some will trim individually cut nuggets pretty closely. But be advised, you will still need to manicure just a tad bit if you want your nugs looking perfect to donate to clubs or if you want bag appeal. These machines will cut your trimming time by a lot. Some cost $200-$400, some will cost in the thousands. Do a little research and see which will fit your need. Youtube can show you how each machine is used. Then check craigslist to see if anyone is selling a used one in good condition. Thats what I do before buying anything expensive. I understand if you dont want friends to help you trim. (it eats up the pofits, they might spread the word that you are growing, etc.)
you need to fill it up by uniformed buds all the same size and still hurt most of themI'd say pay them in bud and your profit margin will be better then in cash.
I typically agree about auto trimmers, you loose that hand manicured quality and end up with more abuse of the buds. I don't want to treat my buds that way. I did see this in action at the cannabis cup in denver back in april and it was pretty cool http://thewhiptrimmer.com/. It allows the detailed trimming of hand work, but with the added speed of having a machine helping you, and not having to work the scissors. It also hooks up to a vacuum and pulls all the trim into the collection area automatically. It is set up to use a bubble bag type system inside to collect any loose kif as well allowing you to save it all!
lol move to Michigan ill hire you 10 dollars per houri wish i had that type of problem
