Auto trimmer

[Doubledealing72]

Hey everyone! I received my auto trimmer in the mail today! I'm extremely excited to use it, especially because the bubba kush looks an awful lot like the blue dream did at that stage, and I know how many hours this will save me!

I'll post pics of how the bud looks when its trimmed using one of these, along with the trim in the bowl to give everyone a sense of how much you might lose. I don't believe you lose a significant amount, but I know people that won't use them because they think it is significant.

For those who haven't heard of these, you put the bud on the grate, put the top on and spin the handle. This causes the rubber arms to push the bud across the grate, and there is a blade underneath the grate that spins and cuts the sugar leaves.

Anyway here it is!

$106 after shipping and taxes

Been interested in these since ojh posted his. Looking forward to your review!

I have seen a fancy commercial electric version but never one for home use. Video or even just an animated gif would be most welcome.
Cool appliance!

Can’t wait to hear your review. Manufacturer?

I can tell you the ones that got through those are far prettier. But a bit lighter. But as long as you know what to do with your trim your golden either way.

 

[Doubledealing72]

Me too! I forgot that ojh had one lol.

I would do a video on here but it doesn't support the videos from my phone. Maybe I'll make a quick YouTube video when I'm trimming and post that link here!

The site was zenhydro, and the brand is ipower. It was the first one to pop up on Google when searching "auto trimmer weed"

I really love to trim bud manually, but then my harvest is always relatively small, so I can get it done in a day. I think of it as part of the reward of finishing and harvesting. Just to be holding the colas, seeing my beautiful buds up close and personal, getting the delicious aromas and the sticky icky on my fingers--I enjoy the experience. It's the first time I get to touch the buds, and I love the tactile contact with my plants.

But I understand that it's different when you're growing and harvesting pounds of cannabis...

 

[Doubledealing72]

I did not ojh. I plan on using a window screen to lay them out on. That's how my buddy did it back in the day when he was growing.

 

[Doubledealing72]

Maybe one day I'll be harvesting pounds! Today is definitely not that day though lol

 

[Redwasp]

I love it too. Put in a Movie, grab a pipe, grab a beer and enjoy the smell. After my wife says i fall asleep smelling my hands. Lmao

So I was able to use my trimmer this morning and it worked great! The bubba kush I took down was very comparable to the blue dream I took in my last grow that took 7 hours to trim. Using the auto trimmer I was finished in an hour and a half, including cleanup!

All you have to do is cut off the big fan leaves that are sticking out from the bud, snip the bud off the stem, and throw it in the auto trimmer and spin away!

I will say that I didn't trim it as close as I could have because I didn't want to end up losing too much bud. I could have spun the buds more for a closer cut, but those sugar leaves will curl right up into the bud.

It's all hanging in the drying rack now, and it looks like I might have less than I did with the blue dream, even though I can almost guarantee the bubba out produced the blue dream based on the size of the buds. However, I'm not good at guessing how much I got when they are drying in this manner because it looks quite different than hanging them from the branch lol. I'll post my weight when it's all dry though!

Heres the pics to get a rough idea of how it works!

Pretty buds !
I dig the spinner too .
I'm torn between the time saved and the interaction of manually trimming. Who am I kidding ? I need one of those!

Mcubed, the buds on the pans look fantastic!!
