Despite what some people claim all trim machines are trichrome smashers and nug buzzers. They are fast no doubt, but they can never match the precision of a human being. They can work well for that first de-leafing of the water leaves if you are careful with them and do not allow anything to come into contact with the buds but trimming buds down all the way with them does damage them quite a bit. Plus with a lot of these machines, like the Trim Reaper you end up having to dry on screens which further degrades the trichromes.
The number one rule for preserving the quality of your buds is to NEVER TOUCH THEM - not until they are dry. Tossing them into a machine that is going to knock them around and cause physical contact with the entire surface of the buds before they are dried, and then placing them on screens to dry will damage your trichromes and your buds.
Of course they manufacturers and retailers of the machines will deny this to no end. Personally I have never been impressed with the buds from trim machines, even the high end ones, but my standards are probably higher than most. Not to mention the fact that these machines take jobs and money out of the local economy and are putting quite a few people out of work, but that is a rant for another day.
More work than the trim reaper, but im upgrading from scissors, lol..
I do plan on gettin a reaper, but medical bills have me in a bad spot right now..
hahah, I respect you viewpoint and your standards must be on another level, and no one would ever claim that a trim machine will take the place of a human hand and eye, trimming each pound for 10hrs. It def does a better job with small buds than a human could ever do.
you can refer to the pics I posted of perfectly trimmed bud caked in crystals, in over a year I have never ever ever ever ever had a single person question if my bud was hand trimmed, they all probably dont have your standard thou
Let us know how it works for you lost.. I too am a one man army and need something seriously bad!! Keep me posted!!
Power to the one man army! Well a one man army with a G.I. Jane (wife).
It seems older people like the small leaves on and the younger folks like them trimmed. Kinda like a womans bush.. Older guys are still down for the forest, but younger folks like the manicured look..
Whatever flips your pancakes I guess..
I just checked, holy crap! 1200?? Thats a great price! After my next harvest, i'll have to look into getting one.
I know it would knock off the trichs a little and beat hell out of my trimmings but man I want one of these too but so damn expensive. Someone needs to do a DIY
If you're going to get one of the salad-spinner types, get the pro cut fast. It doesn't hold as much as the trim reaper, but the pro cut fast works a lot faster due to the tilt design.
What has worked best for me is to hand manicure all the tops by hand. All the flowers from the middle of the plant and down can be done through the machine.
I'm saving for a Twister...
