Boooooo trim box.My caregiver started using one of them (the top electric model)and now his bud sucks.It still gets you high but tastes like shit too much leaf left for my taste buds yuck...IMO...You'ld be better off hiring a couple friends to help...IMO
 
It actually worked really nice bro ! I cut approx.6-8 zips last night in under an hour with only a few frosty sugar leaves leftover ! Although saving the trim with this method isnt possible

I used a zip tie cut down to 1 inch with a sharp point cut on the zip tie and it works awesome ! Id like to figure out a way to make it work and collect trim too !

NEBG, sounds like a cool invention/idea! Props for that, dude! I donate my trim to a friend's wife who has GI issues, but any idea to help cut down(pun intended) on trim time is a good one!

Sadly, me thinks the old trimming-by-hand method is the gold standard. My arthritic extremities would gladly accept a quicker way if I could get away with it.

I have a SpinPro. Many people disagree with me, but I think it does a fine job of trimming as long as it's clean (when they get sticky they don't do a good job). My issue with it is the curing. I just don't think the bud cures as well or as evenly on a net as it does hanging. My past few crops have been done by hand.
 
Lol i didnt mean to upload both of em twice but i definitely agree hand trimming is the way to go , i hang some and i put some on drying racks and i have an amazing cure every time !
