Do Americans use trimming machines? In the uk and certainly in holland they have these trimming machines, i think spin pro is the name of one of them

some people use them, its for cost and time effeciency but everyone knows HAND TRIMMED is and always will be the highest quality. trimming machines remove alot of resin in the process and this leaves you stuck trying to clean the gum off the machine. there are trade offs. id much rather pay a confident individual human being than have a machine do a mediocre job for me

Yeah. Lots of americans use the trimmers.. Theyre great for B grade booty. It just beats the buds up, and alot of trichs are lost during the process, and they never get all the petioles... So, for A grade meds, u definately need a hand trim..

I second this. $10 an hour is a total insult to a professional trimmer, and as for trimming being "easy"... there are a ton of really shitty trimmers out there so I wouldn't think easy is the best word for it. Being detail-oriented and consistent while sitting on your ass for long hours takes focus and stamina.
$200/unit seems to be the standard in Portland for professionals. Don't know anyone who does hourly; seems to just promote them taking forever to get their work done.
Trimming machines are considered hackery here. If you are producing enough quantity that you need a trimming machine, then you can afford to pay humans to hand-process your flowers. Unless you are producing crap-weed at bargain-basement prices or are just a tight-ass.
TV? You can't be serious. A top-shelf beer an hour is provided, though.
Never paid anyone to trim. Do trim work for friends. $200/pound. Get to do it at home, so that's nice. It all goes back to them, i'm allowed to smoke some, but would rather just have everything accounted for. Hate when I get stuck with seconds, especially of GG4. Takes forever.

Just know how difficult it is to even be a trimmer in this state. At least in my town. You've gotta know someone, or be a hot girl with a badge. Not even kidding.

What universe did you arrive from?
Anyway around these parts it's typically 20 an hour. 30 if you're good. I don't know many people paying per unit in BC.

Down in the springs at the grow I did work for, paid 10-12/hr. Same went for working in the grow, but here's the kicker.... We worked nights lol
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.
