Sugar Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Hi Stoners,I'm thinking of getting a bowl type bud trimmer and wondered what others recommend and experience etc.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merl1n Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) Yea, it's called a pair of scissors If you've got 5+ Lb... ...maybe.The the ones I've seen in use knock the bejezus out of the buds, making the buds smooth/even over the whole surface.They also remove a SHITLOAD of trichomes. Not so bad if you're gonna make your own hash tho Collect it all up, make your own hashblocks. My recommendation is a good sharp pair of sewing scissors, with a pointy tip, very precise. My mrs has (Had) a pair, Fiskars is the brand (She ain't got 'em no more 'cos I stoled them They mine now ) Edited December 22, 2020 by merl1n 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Try Blu Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 If you've got 5+ Lb... ...maybe. That would be me Takes too long for anything other than hand trimmed imo.i can strip a couple of kilo in about half an hour Hahaha. Then stamped into large Tupperware containers. Rough as guts. .......but affective. Photo repost on one of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar Posted December 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Cheers and thanks Merlin and Try Blu I read a thing that Itchybro posted and how we got to treat our harvest with some respect so far as cannabis being a sponge and soaks up all the stuff in the environment that it is drying in and how important it is to consider the terpenes I think it is ... and all the smells and taste sensations that really make it good stuff. And I also read somewhere that using a bud trimmer doesn't remove the little stems of leaves in the buds and knocks the shit out of the bud and no good because of many reasons.. So yeah II have the fiskars scissors for trimming Merlin but just not that keen on trimming Oright then I've already spent the dosh I was going to spend on trimmer on Chrissy booze and food etc .... back to the scissors I go! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itchybromusic Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 yep , nothing good comes from speed in the cannabis growing game imo unfortunately patience takes a long time to learn for most growers , from people constantly counting days which most likely will mean nothing to whena triscombe head go's past it's used by date & changes color / ambers or the heater that gets turned on & blown on drying buds cause no one wantsto score from there dealer one last time while you wait for buds to dry trimmer machines are no diff , i know someone who brought a big one he hires out to growing mates on harvest days , if you make edibles or extract with a solvent or in other words remove all plant material , then a trim machine will prob be beneficial but if you like to look at pretty buds & to smell terpenes every time you open the bud jardon't use a machine as it strips most if not all triscombe heads from the outside of the budmaking it so you have to break the bud open to enjoy the beautiful canna smells of cause there is more than just not using a machine to keep those terpenes intact drying room temperature is prob the most important to retaining terpenes & you def do not want to be spraying air freshener , glen 20 , aftershave around drying buds not sure people notice but you can check hanging/drying buds , they can be crispy & dry tothe touch but a few hours later after some rain & a high increase in humidity buds don't feelas crispy as they did cause they are sucking up some of the air humidity , if there is any othersmell in that humid air , guess where it has a chance of going , yep ya buds no one likes trimming bud sugar especially allot of bud but if there was a better way that achieves all we want we would be doing it already i reckon i like the spring loaded scissors for trimming myself but you need 2 pair of any scissors & alittle alcohol in a glass to put sticky scissors in while you pull out a fresh pair from the glass scissor hash is ok but it is triscombes mixed with little bits a leaf matter making a little harshto smoke imo , it'll def get you high ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, after the coughing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
