I am in the market for a trimmer. My usual trim procedure is to wet trim with scissors and hang dry. We are starting to pull 10+ a month and looking to double in the spring, I need a damn trimmer. We have no team of people, I rely on myself for most the work and I need something to speed me up to like pulling a room down in a few days instead of a week or two. I like to run a large percentage of og and cookies, diesels, aka delicate flowers, most flower that goes well thru a trimmer is less $ but not always. I prefer on the branch to hanging racks or whole plant drying. I have dry trimmed before with scissors and it took forever, probably just me tho. If a machine can do it efficiently than thats cool with me.
I have ran the trim pro rotor quite abit and it is okay. Only works with round bubba, blue dream, maui types. OG or fragile buds it will grind away the buds to trim pile. Also it beats them up pretty good, difference between hand trim is obvious but was hoping it would at least trim all my buds. Most things don't do well in the trimpro but the varieties it does trim go real fast, 2 lbs an hour easy I would guess if you can keep it fed. Do not want a trim pro i can get one for free cause by buddy has an extra.
I pretty put off by the bowl types for wet trimming unless someone has some input.
Dry trimming in one of those barrel seems like the least labor intensive way to trim. But my dry trim game is off although i could do it.. Gaging the dryness seems to be the trick with the barrels but i have never used one. Kinda leaning to the trim pal as my dry trimming option if I go that route.
Tube style like the centuion seems real nice but i feel like the buds get beat alot in there and you get a lot of trich loss as opposed to dry trimming barrel. Never used one of these just speculation.
Last style that I really like the style was the wander trimmer. The vac attached to the trimmer type of thing. It looked good in the videos but its hard finding some real reviews of it. Would really like to hear input on this one. Its the same price as trimpro rotor and I feel I could just about do the same amount of work with it when working by myself. Having a team makes the trim pro faster but can trim my high $ varieties. I saw one thread where someone said their super sticky buds clogged the machine constantly so it was a pain in the ass. The buds being trimmed in the video were pretty lame looking. They definitely weren't trimming OGs but some kind of leafy variety that would take forever to hand trim and they mowed right along. Im guessing stuff i want to trim is going to be easy with this thing if it doesnt clog. OG when grown right isnt the hardest to trim but still takes time.
Ugh so much to think about. I read all the other threads and they are getting old so I started a new one, HOPING there was something i dont know. Someone out there is just smokin doobies while I trim my life away lol. Please share pros and cons of the units you have experience with. really want to hear about that wander trimmer....
Thanks farmers! :)
