if you have ALOT of bud to trim, like a pound + , you may want to invest in a trimming machine. otherwise, you can cut individual branches off - trim fan leaves- trim bud leaves(with scissors)- hang to dry(about a week)- then cure in mason jars for two weeks.... good luck

yeah thats what i figured.. so basically there are no good trimmers for less than 1000 right?

yup! dont know how much they cost but it might be worth it if you got 7-12lbs it'll save your fingers!

if you cant afford a trimming machine your next best bet is buy a couple a pairs of garden shears (get the kind where they spring back out after you squeeze them, this WILL HELP save your fingers!) and grab a few close trusted friends and get after it!

good ol scissors buddy. is it going to suck, ya probably!! Just look at the good side of it though, 7 to 12 lbs of greens

yeah i mean i expected a lot of bud but maybe not quite this much. its a lot for 2-3 people to trim. just wanted to see if there was a somewhat inexpensive, time reducing answer.

Hehehe, I guess this isn't the worst problem one could have right?
All I can say is, if you don't want to throw down on an expensive trimmer, (which I don't blame you), then you're looking at a 12 pack of beer, some good music and perhaps a trimming buddy.
My wife and I call them, "circle nights".

I also have a picture of a guy who duct taped a drill to a table and then used the drill bit as it spun. Not sure how well it worked but cheap!

A comfortable pair of scissors, and a few hours uninterrupted. It'll save you the grand you'd spend on an electrical trimmer. Just take it one branch at a time.
