What tools do you prefer to use to harvest?

There is no substitute.

& the scissor hash is second to none!!!!

fiskar micro tips, small glass of rubbing alcohol loaded up with 4-5, as soon as one becomes slightly sticky switch. i try to no longer trim myself though.


i like fiskar micro tips better than the green hydrofarm versions. the fiskar micro tips have smaller pointier tipped blades for better trim control and deeper penetration to reach those hard to reach hangnails and such. i'm pretty anal about a quality manicure though, more than about everyone else i know.

i wouldn't touch an automatic trim machine. no thank you. unless i had at least a couple 100 #s , and then i would use the twister ct.

long handled fiskars loppers for the big stem and then soft touch micro point before and after the hang

 

[stoney917]

fiskars are great yea but there are zenports which are almost identicle and have a curved blades which are very nice to get in close compared to the straight blades... they the same price to.... i use a craftsman chainsaw on the trunks..lol

I use the fiskar spring loaded scissors.... and I dip the part of plant I'm about to trim in some cold water. Seems to help a lot in keeping the sticky off the hands as well as the scissors.

yep, leave the sticky on the buds not my friskers or fingers, if i want hash i make bubble full melt, much cleaner

 

[stoney917]

hey i wanna add if ya get hand pains from spring loaded fiskar type snip if ya cut the sping a bit its easier on the fingers ... just cut a bit and u will notice the resistance will be alot less stress...

 

[Stress_test]

It takes much practice.

 

[spacecasejay]

my vote goes to sturdy scisors indoors, axe,chainsaw outdoors
that ninja sword is bad ass

Have two pair of fiskars myself along with a pair of microtip pruners i got from, of all places, THE DOLLAR STORE, for the budget minded check their small garden section in spring and summer and you will find these. I even use a pair for cloning

 

[CannaBunkerMan]

Fiskars all the way, unless you have $10,000 to spend on trimming, then I'd go with the Rolling Thunder.

I should have stock in Fiskars, I've purchased over 20 pairs of them.

A note to the uninitiated; don't use the Fiskars for cutting thick stems. They will work, but not so much afterwards.

I have used fiskars for years, also the newer titanium nitride coated ones (stays nice and sharp longer).
But my favorite are the ones made by Hydrofarm, long and thin blades that work really well (esp. dry trimming), and the handles are a bit bigger/heavier then the fiskars and IMO I can last longer between pruner switches.

ps- can also be had for 10-12 dollars, so they aren't much more expensive then fiskars.

those look just like the Zenport 355 series, about $8 at horticulturesource or the like...

Fiskars bypass pruning for the larger stems and then the micro tips for the trimming. I understand the scissor hash, but for a good quick cleanup I like to use alcohol whipes. Just rip one open and clean up the blades in a 5 second scrubdown.

I love the hydrofarm bout the only thing I like from them.

I put 5 pairs of gunky scissors into a quart mason jar with a cup or two of ISO. Shake until clean, then evaporate in a pydex dish. A razor blade later, all of the scissor hash has been reclaimed.

On second though, my favorite harvesting tool has to be slave labor. Nothing like people power to make faster work of the harvest. I usually hire 5 or 6 people to help, and they'll work for peanuts... I mean product.

I couldn't agree more! people w/ good tools give the best result.

I've become a HUGE fan of Zenport H355L. They're the long version of the Micro Blade pruner similar to the Fiskars. These scissors were recommend in another thread and I decided to give them a shot. Since then I've purchased an additional dozen. It's as if these things were specifically designed for our needs: their tips are rounded allowing the bigger sugar leaves to be trimmed without cutting into the flower mass, the blades themselves are thin, making it easy to get under the leaves and they're very sharp. A killer product.

I've also tried their curved-tip Micro Pruners (model H355C). Zenport had to have made these things for trimming bud. The curvature of the tip is essentially perfect for trimming the natural shape of a MJ flower. If you're into manicuring to perfection, look no further.

i agree wholeheartedly. this was indeed intentional. this market is big and demands attention from otherwise square corporations. i get a nice lulz

EK Success EKCB06 Honey Bee teflon coated scissors. Lightweight, well-balanced, and ultra-sharp. Unless you are very careful, you will be cut. I use a good quality bypass pruners (Corona or equalivent) to cut branches from the plant.
