Trimming back support?

I cannot watch TV while trimming. I played a lot of music though. LPs are ideal; one cannot leave the needle in the groove, and the time is just right for the next opportunity/need to move it all. cn

Don't mess with her box. cn

Back issues suck and I have my share of them too. That is why I have to get up and stretch every like 30 mins. There are all sorts of stretches you can do in like 5 mins.

Everybody is saying stretch every 30 minutes so that is what I will do.

It sounds like two things, one, you are holding your arms up for much longer periods of time than normal and doing tedious work which will fatigue (and hurt) your rhomboids, and your head is likely hung down from normal and hung for a while making your levator scapulae fatigue. Look those up, and how to stretch them, specifically. Hope that helps, and congrats on having that much to trim.

Thank you very much for your response. I will be looking into these 2 muscles. Also - Boy am I glad I only have to trim my plants - my partner(with back problems from 30+ years of physical labor) has 3x as many plants to trim as me, and 4x as many strains to keep seperate I feel lucky thinking of it oike that. Would the Rhomboid muscle contribute to pain in the mid back region? My pain begins about 12" from the bottom of my neck, and generally spreads upwards instead of down(when it gets worse it gets up to my neck)

That's pretty much where they are; right between your scapulas, and yes, that is how the pain radiates for them.

Trim bin that's all I have to say I spend a lot of time trimming and these fuckin straight up work I sit on the couch and trim .....trust me worth the money

Ok thank you very much for the info. I think that is what my problem is.

Here's what I used last year, takes about 1/2 hr per plant and it does a very nice job.

I went to his thread and saw how it works - he has a video on there its in his sig - He rolls a bud on a weber grill rack and lets a fan type thing cut - it works really good from what the video shows

That is way too much abuse aof the bud. You know how much gets on fingers just trimming, imagine what your losing there.

A quick rub for the fan leafs wouldn't bother me, the rest would be by hand if I made 1

I used it to trim all my bud and it wasn't as bad as you'd think the picture is what I scraped off the grill after doing 6 plants.

Finished product this was Sativa.


The only help I can give is how I solved the cutting blade. It;s a piece of 1/16" x!"x 16"long Mild Steel.
I cut the blades off with sheet metal shears .
