Mainly because I dry, and cure my herb prior to trimming it. Still uncertain about the heroes ability to trim dry herb without fucking it up. Growing is more of an art form than work to me. I'm always seeking perfection :artist:.



Think your pretty funny don't ya? Just remember, one day you're going to get old and fucked up too. Give that boy a couple years to get the grey hairs flowing :laughing:

Trust me, my wife primed the pump on that one..

Killer work, Arminius. That Tahoe sounds and looks delicious. I really need to get me some Bonsai Heroes, do they come with 2 clippers or is that extra?

Thanks HGO, yeah I am supper excited to try the Tahoe when it cures :smoker:
I bought the double pair and power pack for about $700, it's a wash if you do it Bobble's way or mine.
I timed myself today. From the first branch I cut, to clean up, I have been able to do a plant in two hours tops. Based on the weight of the Tahoe, I would estimate that they are at least 6 oz plants, but I expect 8 per. 3-4 ounces per hour is pretty damn good in my book.

It's been a long few days, and I have a show down with the landlord tomorrow, but I finished the Tahoe and Wifi Alien today. I have pics, but too buzzed to post them. But the Wifi Alien is my new cash crop, as I suspected...

I gotcha. I wouldn't do a dry trim with any mechanical trimmer. Not only will they chop the buds up, they'll vibrate the trichs off the buds that they don't chop up.

I don't trim as close with the heroes as Arm. I do a rough trim so that I can get my buds hanging faster. I always have to go back over my buds and dry trim anyway. I find that the leaves snap off once they're dry vs. sticking to the scissors wet trimming. Dry trimming is only easier if you don't have leaves wrapped all the way around the buds that you have to peel off.

Just my $0.02. Hopefully I didn't offend anyone enough to get another neg rep... ha ha... :good:
Ditto.
If you are contemplating getting the trimmers, you have to be prepared to wet trim. I have convinced more than one old head to wet trim, give it a try...
I even have my father partially on board. He borrowed one of my racks, and I told him to at least do a partial wet trim before placing his product on the racks. Long story short, he kept my racks...
Bobble has a point, in that if I had to trim all my own, I would likely do a rough pass (as I have had to in the past due to time constraints), but I don't like doing things twice, so I prefer to do the full trim at once.
I have the luxury of doing trees, so can chop each plant as they get trimmed, and still finish a room in 48 hours tops. If I couldn't trim the whole room in a 48 hour window, I would either do a two stage trim with the Heroes, or dry trim (which I fucking HATE!!)...

And by the way, anyone who neg reps Bobblehead is not welcome in my thread. I hope it was a fat finger on a cell phone, otherwise it is not excusable. Anonymous neg rep is chicken shit in my book. It should be required to show up, and a reason why you gave neg rep before it is accepted on the forums.

Google Medicine Bowl Collective. Check out their reviews of the strains in my sig (I think I am up to 5 of their menu), and you will see more than once, a comment on the quality of trim on my flowers...
As I said earlier, I have converted more than one to the ways of wet trimming...

Who's the dick hole that gave you a neg rep? Must not understand how we operate........ IF anybody see's me and bobble talking shit to each other, or giving each other a hard time, pass on by, it's just how we do our thing mmmmmkay :tiphat:

That said, I kind of figured the heroes might have an issue with dry herb. Guess I'm back to getting arthritis :moon:.

I hate that neg rep button also. I hate the fact people remain anonymous with it. Most of the time it is someone trolling through a thread that just does it to be a dick.

I think that if someone neg reps you it should show there name and they should atleast have to put a explanation of why they felt you needed that neg rep.

All the trim gets a solvent bath, then used in tinctures etc... Once the labels are done, I will be canvasing the state dropping off cases of tincture. Crunching the numbers, if there is enough demand, flowers will only be trimmed for head stash... It's a tough game moving flowers at dispos in Cali. Most stores provide most of their own, which is in violation of the law...

First Tahoe Weigh in!

First Tahoe Weigh in!

Got the first of four in the bag at 8.2 oz
The first one seemed to be the runt, so I should average 8 per.
I should have the rest bagged up in 2-3 days.

Gotta love 2 lbs outta 4 plants Arm......I`m really impressed at the level you`re takin this to ....Respect....and....

Although you`ve not been doin this shit as long as a lotta folks , from what I`ve seen in the short few yrs you`re blazin trails and settin standards ANY old head in Med-ville shoulda been doin yrs ago , so again......

Major kudo`s for takin everything from trim to nugs and beyond for a specialized untapped tincture market in a professional manner.....and for the record....

I think the "not helpful" rating needs disabled where you can only vote helpful IF it helped yas......

NEGATIVE REP is and has ALWAYS been on the left corner of the page with the middle icon , AND it allows grievances to be said in private SO you can see who`s attacking you......Me ?....

I`ll tell yas how I feel in open forum if I disagree with you , always have and always will , and the bullshit neg rep rating`s for chicken shit lil bitch boys that don`t have the balls to confront someone in the open , and needs done away with cuz it benefits no one community wise....

Me and Bobbles ain`t close anymore , but we don`t attack each other either....I`m proud he`s found his "niche" and exploiting the fuck out of it just like you are Arm.....

Got nuttin but love and respect for ALL you up and comers....Makin an old man proud....

Peace....Freds.....:ying:....
