Carpal tunnel from trimming weed

So my last harvest took me and 5 of my buddies 7 hours to trim and it was only 1.3Lbs...

Anyone got any easy ideas to bypass the trimming stage or some kind of trimming tool that would speed up this process?

IMO I was thinking about using a weedwhacker with a grate

Don't do anything crazy like that it will knock tons of trichs off. I know what you mean, I feel like golem from lord of the rings after I trim. All hunched over with fucked up eyes all like "my precious" with a fat nug in my hand. Good old fashioned trimmin is the only way imo, even if it sux.

There is automated trimmers out there.
They run any where from $250-$1500. tho.
And will never get the bud trimmed as good as hand manicuring.
I mean she grow 3-5 months for you I'm sure you can find a couple more days to manicure her nicely

Look up the The Tumbleweed seems to be the best one on the market IMO.

Bone dry ,Crush , Make liquid THC . use everything

that seems like a very long time for only a 1.3 lbs between 5 people. less smoke breaks, more practice, pay others...i would def not use a mechanical shaver but thats me. good luck

moderate bud to leaf ratio.. blueberry gum lol. yeah the trimmer got harder after we got more blazed... so i was looking into those shavers, where does all your kief go?

I have seen the trimmer thats has a fan bland under the grating, and u just rold the bud over the grate. It seems to work pretty good, but it doesnt remove the little stem from the small leaves, I have issues with the tumble trimmers, gosh just seems like to much bouncing around, way to rough for the girls...

im to lazy to hunt down a pic of the machine i like...

trim faster. or buy a spinpro. nothing does the job like human hands though. one of the reasons why good weed costs so much.

Lol hire a day worker from home depot! I have done this before. I think the guy we picked up to help had done it before too, he was fast and diddnt really need to be shown much. I'm serious most of these guys are illegal and are just happy for the work. Don't forget to blindfold him tho!

damn you guys are slow! i clip a pound every few months. i don't know how long it takes me but it's no where near 7 hours! i don't do a connoisseur trim but i do a good trim. a connoisseur trim would only add a couple hours at most.

they do have machines made just for trimming buds. they start at around $600.00. google leaf trimmer!

you a genius boy! i never would have thought of that.

ROFL @ hire dude from depot,,, thumbs up

Yeah, that is really slow and I hadn't thought about Golum but you're right about that. I put my buds in a steel bowl beside me on a milk crate or something, and have another bowl in my lap that catches all the trimmings, and another bowl were the trimmed bud goes. Get comfortable and make it methodical. Make sure to relax your shoulders and neck and take a break every hour or two.

And make sure you don't cut your damn finger! I was trimming last night with a new pair of snips and cut myself on the tip of my index finger. Deep too, had to stop and band aid up.
