    iPower 19” trimmer review

    My wife got sick a few weeks ago (thankfully not covid related) and felt bad for me being in trimmer jail as I harvest 2 tents by myself so she ordered me this trimmer. I had no idea she got this, so as I greeted the UPS guy delivering it the other day, he couldn’t help but smile at the astonishing look on my face as I watched him sit down a big box that said ‘19” Bud Bowl Trimmer’ in several places on the outside of it 🤨😤🤬 are you fucking kidding me was my initial response. So be mindful of that if you order this thing from
    Amazon. After I calmed down a little I decided to give the thing a shot. It works great on the lower trim that’s more of a pain to trim, I did 65% of the plant in less than 10min which included unboxing and gathering everything I needed. Luckily I did a test run before putting the best buds through it. I DO NOT recommend using this on your prime buds if you want them to look good. It does the trick but fluffs them up a lot in the process so your dense, fat colas won’t be dense or fat once it’s done with them. Overall it’s ok for a quick trim job but not great. I did trim the entire plant by myself in less than an hour which was pretty sweet although I’m still pissed about the packaging.

    That sounds like a good, honest review of the product. Thanks for sharing man. Been hearing a lot about these trim bowls, but I'm still stuck in my ways for now.

      Did you do a wet or dry trim? I have one of these as well and I've found it works better dry, for me anyway.

        Yeah any time. Mine has 2 straight blades and the wire one, which I see no use for. Just don't try it wet. It will really fluff things up if you do, and can "bruise" the buds. I made that mistake the first time I used it cause I didn't read the instructions. I'll try and remember and get a picture of them later to post here for you.

        The wire is supposedly to do dry trimming with. I don't see it working very well honestly.

      I got a vivosun tent off amazon and they did the same shit. Local lady at my post office is a gossip as well. Hopefully she didn't know what it was and didn't look it up. A legal grow but still......

        My concern with those timers is how much damage they do to the trichomes. Same reason i still grind all my bud by hand instead of a coffee grinder.
        There are 3 things you must check everyday when growing in hydro:
        1) Water level (How much h2o is she drinking in 24hrs)
        2) pH level (change over 24hrs)
        3) ppm/EC level (How much food is she eating in 24hrs)

          There was a lot in the bottom after I removed the leaves but the buds are still super frosty. Need to get me a press now

          Just make sure the press you get isn't aluminum. I bought one that was and it stripped out after a few uses.
