Has anyone used a mechanical bud stripping tool? They look like a great idea but I'm wondering if the buds would be stripped off the stems leaving you with nothing but popcorn.

I think they're supposed to be used on fresh/wet buds.
IMO this machine is a waste of money. You can strip almost as fast with your bare hands

Maybe, but I have lots. Like a thousand lots.

Look for a dry trimmer they will let you dry the bud then run it through the machine. It will knock off crystals when machine trimed but if u need to process fast it can be a handy tool get one that collects the goodies that fall off and they can be used for hash. Drying the bud befor trimming the bud will let harsh things such as sugars to break down leaving you with a higher quality smoke

If you have a huge amount some of the processing can be skiped and hash can be made from alot of it without being trimed all the way(just remove fan leaves and remove from sticks)

I like that and it's what I've been thinking. I put together a compost sifter with 1/2" hardware cloth to tumble trim the bud.

Like this but mine uses kid 14 inch bike wheels, is 36 inches long, and is motorized on a slight slope.


It'll be a bit rough on the trichs if it moves too fast, but that should give me great moonrock material.

Ya I saw that one. The reviews I saw said it strips the bud off the stems so you end up with popcorn.

I'm thinking of making my own with an old wringer washer. lol
