last night i broke all the leaves off from my last harvest and bagged most of it up.. i still have a three more plants to go actually. i decided to wait a few days because last night i ordered one of these>

i have mixed feelings so i decided i wanted to try one for myself to see. i left some of the dry to trim and i will attempt a wet trim on the current crop. i thought maybe if they were so great everyone would have one, then i thought well airpots are great, not everyone uses those.. along with other great things i use in my grow that not everyone uses... so YOLO.

comes with a drying rack which i might try and use this time because of so many strains compared to normal it might be nice to have to keep them separated.

so i'd love to hear from anyone that used one? pro/cons/comments???? let me hear em please!!

I had the OG of those things, The Spinpro Trimmer.
It was the same but different in some ways...The dome on mine was stainless steel and all the gears and what not were in a closed dome on top of the grill. It worked in a way that with the gear ratio one turn on the crank spun the blades about 5 or 6 times very fast.

I used it for two harvests and held onto it for about another year or so. Kept the large ss bowl and the rest was sold in a scrap metal recycler bundle.

So I think you can see where my review and opinion on this will go from here. I really wanted to like it and use it as my go-to trimming option but the pot snob in me just couldn't.
1st question I have...was it an amazon purchase with free returns? That may come in useful after you try it out.


The cons:
Never put anything of great value in there. Your larf, small secondaries maybe but any prized buds keep out of it and hand trim.
The sticky factor with weed is where it comes up short.
All those silicone fingers molest the buds, beating the shit out of them to move them around on the grill so the leaf blades go thru the grill and the blades chop them off.
As the fingers do this, they rub your buds and pull trichs off. You'll need to find a clever way to reclaim that resin as it will be a lot. Maybe pull the fingers off and soak in iso would do it.
The grill will also gum up with resin and will need to be cleaned after every use. If it's not stainless steel or aluminum it will begin to rust.
The silicone band around the rim will also collect trichs and gum up.
It's not the time saver we think it is. It's still a tedious trim job but your just doing something different. Instead of snipping for a few hours you're doing a rough snip then loading the bowl and cranking it up over and over until done.

The pros:
Probably the most tidy way to collect trim bits down in the bowl so they don't scatter. The trim will make for outstanding bubble hash

Can take ugly larfy bud and kinda make it pretty by rolling the buds around and making them into little pebble buds.
Remember a long time ago when I went to Denver to try Girl Scout Cookies for the first time and what I brought back were dispo pebble buds? That's what bowl trimmer results look like.

If you just wanna make oil from your flowers then the beating up buds may not be an issue. I still smoke flowers and like them to be pretty and near untouched from plant to rolling paper so anything that increases handling of flowers turns me off.

One of these days I'll have a stock pile of weed like you guys
I'm hoping having the 4x8 will solve that issue but I'm still running low so it's not fixed it yet

I’ve looked at them but with only four plants it seemed a waste. I was pretty sure it would beat the buds up but might still be worth it.

Thanks for the comments @Bandit420

yeah i should have known you tried one out.

1st question I have...was it an amazon purchase with free returns? That may come in useful after you try it out.

sure did!!! i'll be able to try it on dry and wet.. did you ever try it with dry?

Never put anything of great value in there. Your larf, small secondaries maybe but any prized buds keep out of it and hand trim.

wasn't planning on it at all. only looking to use it on the "rounder" shaped buds lower on the stalk. and i was hoping since they didn't hae a ton of leaves at that stage i could go light on the spins to not over do it.

All those silicone fingers molest the buds, beating the shit out of them to move them around on the grill so the leaf blades go thru the grill and the blades chop them off.

i've read those to be called bud destroyers!!! they say it crumbles dry bud. maybe a TPU modification might be order. besides i can't remember the last ting i bought that worked as intended and didn't require modification to hold up to my standards. i don't think i own anything stock!

As the fingers do this, they rub your buds and pull trichs off. You'll need to find a clever way to reclaim that resin as it will be a lot. Maybe pull the fingers off and soak in iso would do it.

i'm decent with reclaims and i'm up for the challenge!

man you need to just cut your wife off... now you have twice as much bud!!!!

Thanks for the comments @Bandit420

never had a need before myself... but i'm looking at all these freakin green sticky golf balls in cabinet right now,,, 16 plants mainlined to eight branches is 128 branches... say three to four golf balls on each one (conservatively) thats like 450 golf balls to trim. even if i got it down to two minutes a golf ball thats over 15 hours of trimming just on lower stuff... thats a huge fuck that!!!

i'll take a little loss and cleanup if i can get that down to two to three hours!! i only paid $100 for the 19" trimmer and rack so even if it only works once it might be worth it. the colas themselves are probably gonna take an eternity, i don't even wanna think about the secondary!!

next time i'm training and trimming better... colas only!!

Like my money [ no direct deposit thank you for the offer ], I prefer to touch my buds.

man you need to just cut your wife off... now you have twice as much bud!!!!

I smoke more than she does though!
I just gotta get this run flipped and off to flower this week. Once I harvest this run I should be set up for success from here on out.

I honestly feel that my personal life and my mind have settled and are in a good place since I feel I will never run out as long as I keep growing.
Somehow, I feel like I smoke less, but then I read how some have rolled 2 in the morning, and I roll 6 usually so?
Hope you get there bro. It is living the dream IMO.

 

[GoodShit97]

Hope you get there bro. It is living the dream IMO.

2 back to back mildew episodes and then thrips really set me off is what happened. I had enough to support my habit and then I didn't have any flowering plants for like 6 or 8 months so it really put a hurting on my supply, and now I run out about 6 weeks before harvest.
Really think running wall to wall in a 4x8 will fix my problems though,

it's more of a rub than a touch...

the day happen to me and i'll never forget it.. don't remember the year but it was on sept 17th... it was my first harvest of bud that i grew and didn't buy and i haven't looked back since... i had my first indoor crop coming up and that sept 17th was an outdoor crop and the two were big enough to get the ball rolling.. after that i never ran out again... got close and had to skimp but never bought bud since. just edibles and concentrates.

maybe this summers outdoor harvest will do the same exact thing for you.. once the balls rolling it easier to keep it going!!! hell if i quit growing for six months now i still wouldn't run out. you'll have that!!!!!!!! and at a much younger age than i ever did so.. patience!!!! ( i know fuck that! you want it now)

and I roll 6 usually so?

you remind me of when i smoked flower!!! that date would be july 4th 2018 when i fell head over heels for dabbing and been ruined ever since!!!!

 

[Stoneyluv]

I didn't have any flowering plants for like 6 or 8 months

yeah i can get that,,,, thats a while... you'll make it man!!!

I have the press, the tumbler and know how to ISO. They are all good and blow me away but....
Man smoke some of that cherry shit you got straight.
I don't usually finish joints and have not saved a roach in 3 years now.
I love joints, I will not lie.

i mean yeah i smoke now and then.. mostly when i'm at my buddies because i get made fun of being a pot snob!! haha

but like just the other night i smoked that imperium x sample bud.. weird thing i found three seeds in that tiny bud... what is that all about? two plants now with seeds, both from breeders i don't know so...

the half joint tore me up though... almost made a believer out of me on the description on how good it really it.. we'll see!!!

but yes i agree a doobie is the most chill and best way to get THC into the system... i just start coughing now from taking a break so long it makes me pass and shy away from coughing... dabbing gave me tender lungs now. oh god don't tell the guys at the garage i said that!!

been about ten years or more since i hit a pipe and i'm fine never doing that ever again! and that was way before dabbing. just don't like pipes, especially the ones people call "bowls" you get a big danny davito from me on that one!!!!!! bongs and doobs are all i'll smoke flower from. and yes to vaping flower.. i have a bag filler vape that i love!!!!

but one thing is for certain pot snob or not i'm one hell of a roller!!!

Bowl trimmers be handling buds like



Yeah there's not much I haven't tried at some point in time.
I never did dry trim with mine. Dry trimming was pretty much unheard of back then.
I'm gonna have to pack up my old electric trimmers and send them to you. They might scare you due to the unknown but once you use them you'll be like "I was afraid this thing would cut me?" I have 3 so I should send one set to each of you. Fucking life changers man.
My new set is total beast mode and a little dangerous but Danger is my middle name. I took down 22 plants in less than 4 hours with them and the scissor hash off them was mui bueno.

I'm very peculiar about my buds and things that rubs trichs off. Like that's why I wont use mason jars. If I did cure in jars I'd line them with parchment paper and make them slick like Groves. But I'll even use Groves 3x before I recycle them because they too begin to collect trichs.
I do use a glass daily stash jar and the amount of caked on trichs down in it will make a great ball of hash some day. Sandwich baggies are so fucking forbidden here it's not funny. Weed in a thin baggies might be worse than beans in chili.
I don't even use a grinder and refuse to because of all the trichs that get stuck in them.
But yeah from the time I harvest to smoke my pot has had minimal handling and doesn't get truly mauled until it's on the rolling tray or in a rosin bag.

As far as running out goes? Bill Clinton was prez the last time I was out of pot and yeah fuck smoking roaches. I use glass tips in my doobs so the little bit left gets tossed in the yard.
No way I could smoke 6 joints in a day though. I'll start one before lunch and usually fucked up a 1/3 way thru. Save it for later at work where I finish it and will also hit a few dabs. One more doob as a night cap with some TV and that's it. Wife's not a bogart either so weed kinda last a while around here

i used to have a t shirt with two vultures sitting on a stick with one saying fuck patience, i'm going to eat something!

I can't do bowls or pipes either~!
Even the best glass is not like a proper joint IMO.
I have thought for a while that ALL my buds go through the same grinder, some flavor has to be mixed?
I mean easy to tell the diff with some, others?
Smoked only 1 of the six today~! Short drive to and from work shorted me, but I am working on it now~! I need my safety blanket though.
I mean what if I broke down or got abducted?
Sunny and 83f here now~!

The last few harvests my wife’s helped trim. Made a big difference and I appreciated the help.

So far it’s all by hand with three trimmers. Two spring assisted. I still miss sugar leaves or accidentally cut off a bud.

I use jars because I had some and it’s what I knew. I know sandwich bags are not long storage but since no one returns my jars it’s now how I give away weed. Get your own jars.

For my home made heat gun volcano I used oven bags. It worked but was too much trouble to setup very often.

Pipes I like. Everyone smoked when I was a kid. But my great great grandfather and a few uncles smoked pipes. Loved the smells. Most passed or quit before I got older but I was given a couple pipes. I gave away any nice ones when I quit tobacco but still have one or two. I had a green glass one for decades but it got dropped a couple years back. The only one I use now is from Pipecarver for flower. Great for some mornings or evenings on the front bench or stoop. Feels good in the hand. Peaceful.

Dude...I roll Cannagars so yeah those pinner doobs don't cut it.
Nah for real though cannagars are for weekends and bbqs but daily doobs are rolled in king size Raw blacks. With glass tip they're a little fatter than a cigarette and about as long. 6 of these especially with something like Gorilla Butter or Platinum Frost would just wreck about 20 different fuckers let alone just me able to burn 'em down. I cant even get thru half a GB doob shits so potent.

I'm a pipe guy too. Gone thru hundreds probably. Started back in HS and making pipes in metal shop on a lathe. At home I'd make pipes out of deer antlers and manzanita wood.
I tried to stop using pipes and go to portable herb vapes but I don't like vaping flower so I went back to combustion and pipes for on the go when I need to be more discreet than with a joint.

Last pipe I actually made was from cannabis stalk



But I don't really recommend it because cannabis stalk is so fiberous drilling it gets sloppy.
The glass pipes I have are considered more art than anything. They're rare one of kind pieces made by American glass blowers and not cheap shit from China or India.
But my daily driver is all kinds of baddass and I can't recommend it enough. It's simplistic in design, classic corn cob style, made of titanium so it takes a lot to get it hot, ez to clean, and it's damn near indestructible. Titanium also doesn't fuck with the flavor the way brass or aluminum can do.
The screen is built in, the stem screws on and off and down below the bowl is a tar dump so all the nasty gets collected there and doesn't get up in the stem. It's made by Dangle Supply out of Montana

i really want to harvest this round before i start anything new. i'd like to hang that panda film in both cabinets and since it came in a folded piece and not a roll so i'd like to do it all at the same time.

i also want to get rid of my floor angle and i'm thinking of maybe short vegging this next round in the flowering cab using both gen1 lights. more power more speed more buds!!!!!

once i see pistils from the no veg i hope to start the reg run at that point. so a slight delay now and then two back to back grows along with a small outdoor grow.. the other night i scored a pack of autos from greenpoint.. a pack of apple fritter!!!!!!

Here ya go, burger man.

ah man that looks killer!! ya know we here in america are one of the only places that don't put eggs on burgers, most countries do!!! i like a yolky egg on a burger myself!!!


sadly i made my last one today... just a single.. out of beef!!!!

I'm kinda excited to try out the new bowl trimmer tomorrow!! my buds be like...

or they might be like...

either way i'm gonna give it a try!!! i got all of my last harvest cut off the stems untrimmed and at 56% rh. i'm going to put on the dry blade, dump em in and give a it go!!!

it would take me about twenty minutes to a half hour to finish up the buds the way they are so i'm homing the bowl does it in seconds!!! there are a bunch of buds that are so small i hope it breaks hem and sends them through the screen for tumbler collection.

i'll show y'all what happens...

so that brings me to the last update i'm going have on the current crop.. i'm so glad i did this grow, it was fun, different, a little drama, some action, some porn.. it was worth it and i'm going to try again but better. not saying i'm a SOG life but i will do it again after this next grow!

so first day of week ten of 12/12..


plants are ready!!!!!! time to chop!!!





thought harvest was gonna suck but the more i look at it i'm gonna be okay.. there's not really that much undergrowth to deal with.. i'm hoping i can lift the net off the plant and just cut down near the mainline and hang the branch.



i have a solid plan with my drying cabinet as well, i've retrofit it so i can hang a few hundred buds. IF i get the rest of the hardware i need tomorrow. should arrive on time!!

bud porn.....................

Imperium X..




Dip n Stix..
