depends on the trimmer...i help a buddy out in cali,i get 20 bux an hour and it rarely cost him more than 300 to get 6-8 pounds trimmed plus i help with the breakdown and clean up.i do get fed really well and its top shelf margaritas every night,plus all the bud and hash i care to smoke...ha,i would love to get 200 bux a pound for trimming!
Like i said I pay out 5% which is 240. We charge 10% to other growers in my area and there's plenty of work to keep people busy. The price out here is a lot higher for p's so it works out for everyone. When people get paid that much there is no talking or smoking or eating or playing. Straight work and thats it. Of course after work we celebrate by smoking fattys. I used to pay 500 a p when I was getting 64 but those days are over. Personally my time is worth 500 an hour for the risk so I don't do any work for anyone else unless I get 500 an hour or more. For this work it isn't trimming. People enjoy the experience that I have and pay me for my experience. With the risks involved it's only right. A grower last week paid me 2500 for 3 hours of my time. 2 months ago a grower paid me 20k for 20 hours of teaching. Life is great out east!
If I was going to lie about it I would say that I pay out 480 but I don't. Just letting you know how it goes down. When we make 4800 a P, some growers don't mind paying out 480 for the added security. They don't want their friends to know that they grow so they pay my people. You don't have to believe me but I'm just telling you how it is. Are you trying to tell me that a couple years back I wasn't paying my trimmers 500 a p? I assure you that I was. Some growers complain about the price of trimming so the ones that complain obviously don't hire my trimmers cause it's too expensive for them. I'm not saying that everyone here gets 480 a P cause that's not true I'm just saying how we do.
Well I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
