My buds look perfect and delicious. Nobody knows I use a spinpro unless I tell them. Taking the buds off the stalk gets them even better. You get all the sugar leaf that normally wouldn't get trimmed hiding between buds. No flat spots if you don't pile them onto the rack. If you place them evenly without piling, they dry perfect. I'm happier with the quality of the spinpro trim job more than my last trim crew.They are only asking for $10 and hour or 10% but that seemed a little low to me.I don`t care for trim machines as you have to take the buds off the stock and then dry them on a rack.That just squeezes the buds or makes flat spots as they dry.Also hand trimmed just looks better when done right.
It's 200 a lb around my area. Seems pretty reasonable. Sorry for the growers out there that think just because the market prices for lbs is a tad lower this year that it's okay to drop your labor costs. In all honesty, you're being quiet selfish. Trimming is a shitty job that many really do not want to do. I haven't seen that prices have dropped 25% down to 1500 this year, though i maybe wrong. it's a bit early to tell. Anyway, if you factor it all out.
2000 an lb for you = 200 for the trimmer ( 10% ) or roughly 20 bucks and hr (pretty fair)
1500lb = 150 trimmer = 15 an hr? To trim bud all day? In California ? no thanks!
I'd like to see a picture of that. I can tell spun buds the minute I see them (and I've been seeing a lot of that around of late). Not calling you a liar, I'd just like to see it, because they have a certain look, I call it a 'puffball', that hand-trimmed bud doesn't have.My buds look perfect and delicious.

Okay, here you go. Clockwise from top left: Killer queen, Sage, Diesel, Lifesaver.I'd like to see a picture of that.
Why do you have to be such a douche bag about it?Ummm yeah I'd have to call BS on that one too. Buds done with a trim machine have a totally, 100% different look than hand-trimmed buds. I can spot machine done bud a mile away - they always have that chewed up look and trich damage unless you are just using them to remove fan leave and then doing a final hand trim. The machines are very fast and very cost effective but anyone claiming that the buds look the same or that there is no trich damage either isn't very observant, or is just flat out lying.
The big machines that require oil to lubricate the blades are the ones that ruin the trim. The bowl trimmers make the best hash trim you could possibly hope for.I dig the way you think bro.... im all about hand trimming 2 the machines look kool and i have never used one im just saying this on what i have seen and read but it seems that after the machine trims the buds it just makes mush out of the trim and i have even heard people that use it say the trim is garbage and cant really be used to even make hash but like i said i havent tried it for myself yet.... it seems to me when it comes to certain things in growing the old way is the best way..... Trimming, Drying, Curing all the new stuff seems like short cuts IMO

It all depends on the situation. If you have multiple pounds that are headed to the wholesale market a trim machine is the only sensible option IMHO. If you've got a few plants in your closet/tent that are headed to your bong, by all means, hand trim.that makes sence to mee i have seen people make hash from the trim off the spin pro and heard its BOMB but i think it would be a waste to have grown some killer bud then run it through a maching that runins the trim bc there is ALOT i can extract from tri
