Since the quality of machine trimmed buds is a source of constant debate around here, I grabbed the chance when some friends decided to use a Twister on their harvest. It took them about 19 hours to trim 6 pounds with three people, first time using it. They said any possible loss in quality was more than compensated for by the reduction of hours and added security. They rented the machine from a newer hydro shop. The people told them not to worry about cleaning the machine, knowing what was being trimmed. Cool people in general.
I personally hand trimmed two of their plants three days before their harvest. Both the machine trimmed and my hand trimmed were dried on drying racks. They are both the same strain grown in the same room etc, just different plants.
As far as the trim, the blades on the machine can be adjusted for a tighter or looser trim. They tried a really tight trim on some, and there wasn't a leaf in sight. However, they also thought it had possibly mulched some of the smaller stuff. It took them a little to work out the blade height to get the tightness of the trim right.
First, I know the photography sucks. The camera was dying, forcing me to rush, and died before I had a chance to go back and tweak all the settings, and I don't think I'll have access to their jars again to retake, but I'll try. Oh and I suck as a photographer anyway.
Second, I'm just posting single bud shots and macro shots for now. I have some group shots, but I think it's a little more obvious in those so I'll post them soon.
Everyone please chime in with which you think is which. This is just meant as fun, so please anyone post your guess. I won't post the answer until after I post the group shots and give everyone a chance to guess again. I'll also give you my opinion about the final product then too. And the two sets of "A"s go together and the "B"s together.
