What is the standard "payment" for trimming help?

I'm normally at about 8 hours for a pound as well. If I were in a position where I had to pay someone, I'd go $20/hour.
im in northern cali and for the most part for sum super top shelf you can get sumone to trim there eye balls out for a zip and a half. im talking a couple pounds of trimming for that much

anything over a ounce to sumone that doesnt have shit is alot. I figure at a job working 8 hours a day for 5 days most people get like 300 if that even. so giving sumone a zip to work for 3 days isnt bad at all

Are you using a machine of some kind because at that rate, that's an ounce every 15 minutes. I don't know about you guys but for me, 15 minutes an ounce is a pretty sh*tty trimming job.

indoor, 1 ounce plants.

maybe my trim job is awesome and it's you that's shitty. hurry up newb. ;)

and what leads you to believe someone else couldn't do the same thing in less time?
Having trimmed around 2000 plants in my lifetime, I'm just going off the fact that I know trimming is a tedious task. Lets say someone told you they can trim an ounce in half the time that you do, I'm sure you'd also be wondering how good that 8 minute trim job is.

i know nothing, other then a "good trimmer" can trim a pound in 4 hours, 5 max. ;)

I know you say that the out door has more leaves but those colas are over a half ounce each. has to be quicker. unless you have sum monster ass indoor nugs all tops no popcorns

pluck a dozen big leaves by hand. a few snips and it's done.

let i mentioned early though, A LOT of it depends on the strain and the plant itself. it could mean the difference in an hour in 2 in trimming a pound depending on the strain. and the person trimming, of course.

did i just hear someone say they can trim a pound in 96 minutes? 1.5 hours roughly? what strain are you growing? sounds like an unbelievable bud to leaf ratio.
