going rate for trimmers

ClearBarbedFunk · Jul 2, 2015

I'm of the mind everyone shares in the profits. I personally hate trimming with a passion, I do it but not something I enjoy. I've had the sme crew for 4 yrs now, best guys get 25hr, others 20hr.

We used a machine trim 2yrs runnin a few years back, while saving money on trim bill, we took it in the shorts on quality. Not only do you roll off every tric on the outside of the bud, the machine tended to pack the bud as well, and all the juice/sap gets all over your bud nd you end up with mendo blendo aka beasters.

30$ per hour!!! Sign me up!! I'll be there with bells on!! And I seriously doubt you can get high trimming. probably an allergic reaction or something. I guess its possible though.

It isn't like laying sheets in a car without gloves on...hahaha. f-ing eh

You absorb THC through the skin without gloves. Yes. You can get high from trimming... I'm presently trying to be one of these trimmers. They just have full staff damn near everywhere. And applicants lists a few miles long. Tough gig to get into unless you know someone.

ClearBarbedFunk · Jul 3, 2015

Allways thought you had to heat THC for it to be active, so guess if your skin was 150f you could get high trim in.

THC alone won't even get you high without the other cannabinols present, per Sam the Skunkman

Nobody uses gloves anymore, lol. Coconut oil is were its at.

Thc and many other compounds found in cannabis are active transdermally without decarb.
I have had a trimmer pass out from trimming my grape ape...red eyes...munchies...no smoking.
Thc is active by itself it just lacks.
Shea butter > coco oil (works better for absorption)
Trimmers also breathe trichomes which are active when insufflated.

Careful using oil while trimming, too much turns buds brown.

Lol 15 an hour to sit on your ass watching TV and doing almost nothing? I've trimmed many times and its not that hard.for fucks sake.

Ya sure it's easy to trim but who likes sitting on there ass for eight hours a day doing the same repetitive crap. My experience is to take care of the people who help u. 10 dollars an hour is nothing anymore.

I like sitting on my ass doing nothing for eight hours doing repetive crap.I'll do it for eight bucks an hour

Its a job.its not easy and its not fun,most places want a pound a day trimmed which aint easy and leaves tv out.They always lookin for trimmers out here,you couldnt pay me enough,trimming sucks.

I did 14 hour days for 2 months every year for years
Now I have carpal tunnel and refuse to pick up fiskars ever again
they make great weapons if you throw them
a room full of trimmers can take down a crew of rippers by throwing fiskars
they stick to whatever you throw them at like ninja stars

Mikell · Jul 6, 2015

^Yup, very fun to throw

TheSilverMullet · Jul 6, 2015

mendo blendo, I like that.

here in O-state the going rate seems to be 150-200 per lb. or 15-20 hourly.

I don't do hourly for trimming, no need to give people an incentive to drag things out.

shithawk420 · Jul 7, 2015

I don't mind paying hourly rates as long as they make certain quotas

bigshrimp · Jul 7, 2015

I pay out an ounce per pound for good work. 1/16 of what they trim.

Really dont like the idea of paying hourly.

furrywall11 · Jul 7, 2015

I hand it to them, dried in big bins with the fan leaves still on...I ask them to carefully remove the fan leaves without knocking off the sugar leaves....I make sure there's a decent amount of smalls in there so I'm getting some B-bud trimming action going on too...And I give them $175 a pound. Most people in the area are doing $150.

recently, I had 4 going for ten days @ $20 an hour doing trim machine prep... I had to harvest another place at the same time so I couldn't keep a very close eye on them. You can't help but feel burned when your not there to keep a close eye on your hourly workers. They're just human....if they're getting paid they're going to take their time and justify it somehow. I won't be doing that again...

Lester Beans · Jul 7, 2015

Let's see, costs me several bottles of wine, food, and netflix. The wife and her friends bang it right out. So yeah, prolly 150 per trimmer. These women can pound the wine lol. I asked of they would trim new jack city style, topless....yep fiskars hit hard..ouch

shithawk420 · Jul 7, 2015

Bwahaaa!!!!lmfao!!

mowood3479 · Jul 7, 2015

I pay hourly... But u only gotta be slow one day to not get invited back...

shithawk420 · Jul 8, 2015

I could easily trim a pound a day watching TV and drinking beer.especially if they are colas or big buds.I agree popcorn buds can suck sometimes
