Who has and uses an electric bowl trimmer?

[2Bad]

So I got to try that Speedee cordless trimmer. I like it and would recommend if you trim a lot of plants. Wet trimmed and chopped 7 plants to hang in an hour and a half. Would have been faster if I didn’t have to deal with a trellis net too.

Does it actually trim trim or just the fan leaves?

Depends on the blade used. I have one blade for pruning and defoliating, another blade for dry trimming and manicuring, and another for wet trimming harvested plants. Which is the blade I used this past Sunday when I harvested.

 

[freezeland]

Got some plants that are now dry and ready for curing. When I chopped I used my field trimmer and a blade for wet trimming. This is the other speedee trimmer I bout which is smaller and more compact that is better suited for dry trimming and manicuring bud. I’ll post some trimmed bud candy later today.

What in the.......is that a sawzall with a modified sawzall blade? If it is I'm guessing it's a mini one?

I ain't electric, but I love my bowl trimmer. It has both a serated and razor blades and the blade is shimmed, so you can adjust the cut, from loose to tight by moving the blade closer or farther from the grill. It litterally takes about 1 minutes of spinning to trim a QP of fresh flowers.

So you guys that use these bowl trimmers, don’t you lose a good bit of the resin heads using them?

Well, the closer you trimm, the more trichomes you'll shave off. If you like dry sift hash, you'll be in heaven!

One bowl spun, one bowl ready to spin along side fan leaves and stems I removed.

Hope that helps with your decision. My only regret is that I bought the 19" version, to big and bulky for my personal use. If I ever need another one, I'll get the 13" model. As for the electrics, I like the Risentek on Amazon. Their build is better, but you'll pay for it. https://www.amazon.com/stores/Risentek/page/098CD8BD-8055-4BA0-A8A2-42841CFCCE3D?ref_=ast_bln

It’s a miniature reciprocating saw. The blades are like hedge trimmers. Blades are only about 2” long. It’s pretty cool and works great.

It’s all the trimming needed before it’s ready for something like a bowl trimmer is really what I was after. I can trim close enough now with this speedee trimmer quickly and efficiently to where I’m no longer interested in a bowl trimmer.

OK. I just saw a video on this. So it's basically a mini hedge trimmer.

I like it but it's not cheap.

Agreed. Love the idea but ill keep my scissors and hand cramps lmao.

Right? I was trying to calculate how much beer I could buy for $400!

 

[GoodShit97]

Thats like 88 pounds of gaia green and 2 bales of promix!!!
Thats enough for like 10 grows or more!

The sell a corded version of it too. The price is all in the blades.

Yeah I noticed they had the cord and battery only offerings. I wonder if I could get a turkey carver to do the same thing?

If it had razor sharp blade probably

Reading the reports from you guys is less than encouraqging, I'd already pulled the trigger and ordered a bowl trimmer...then a bro brought these to my attention?

On the surface its just a another trimmer but if you scratch below the surface there's a feature that's used in the trimmers costing many hundreds of dollars.

I've cancelled my 1st order and ordered one of these I'll keep you updated.

Toys make life 1 of 2 things!

They work if you are just removing dry bud from branches, no real big advantage otherwise besides cheap.

Slots for 3mm, 6mm, and 10mm branches.
On the printer as I type this.

I usually strip by hand. Hold the branch with a firm grasp between thumb and index then pull the branch with the other hand to strip the buds off. This piece replaces my thumb and index finger in that process

Again my opinion however when dried and cured properly trim tools are barely needed. Everything gets sealed up and burped after a little finger fuck and a snip once in a while to cure.

The cure is all about pulling the last moisture from the inside to the outside??

Can one be mounted on the side of a trim bin? That might be helpful.

We rarely have a huge harvest with the plant limit here but I can see how this could help on bushy ladies or large outdoor plants.

you can stick it wherever you want!!!

nah seriously though a couple small holes through the rim of the trim bin and a couple screws it could be mounted right on the inside edge.

printing with a cubic infill gives the most strength and also the best for holding threads of screws.

True. I was thinking removable as the bin is already big and bulky to store.

Going to see if I can find any vids to see how much mess and room it needs to work comfortably. We tend to sit in the tv room while trimming. A little mess is acceptable.

Like this idea better than the turkey or bbq brush.

i'm sure you could make up a bracket for it to slide on and off...

mmmm... i was planning on using it outside maybe.. but i was planning on using for dry bucking.. wet might not be as messy if you go slow.

I've been meaning to make that thing for a long time and this thread reminded me of it.
It's intended to be handheld due to the way I hang dry and destem after drying....

This would be a typical hang dry for me



When the flowers can snap off the large branches it's time to buck them up and send to cure.
I cut off the main colas and try to preserve them as best as possible.
Once the colas are off I strip the branch and let the buds fall into a bin. I have a trim bin but I prefer these large pans I use for BBQ + I buy these in bulk at like 40 at a time so I always have a fresh clean one to use with weed stuffs



Just basically hold the dry branch over the bin, match the size of branch to the slot in the bucker, and pull the branch thru bucker.
All the buds and any trichs that fall off will all fall into the bin and the branch will be stripped bare.
I have a harvest coming soon and will try to get a video

i'm sure you could make up a bracket for it to slide on and off...

Spot on. I intend it to be used for dry bucking.
Wet, I might line the backside of the bucker with parchment paper so it don't strip resin off the buds and get all sticky

haha i must be a stoner too because i never even caught that!!!! but it's okay i messed up the color changeout and went a layer to early so i need to make a new one anyway. saw you fixed it already!!

My mate has one of these bolted to the side of his bench..he does it green then puts it in a hanging screen to dry then into the trimmer.gee it knocks his weed about as is evident looking at his trimmer.he just has soo much weed and no time to do it properly.

 

[GoodShit97]

he just has soo much weed and no time to do it properly.

This is where I see bowl trimmers and such being useful.
So much weed and no time to properly do it.
I've been thinking about one myself honestly, I always end up trimming half a crop and then just jar the rest and trim it as I smoke.
Im so lazy when it comes time to trim

 

[Max]

I think he needs a better one too.his has rubber fingers .i tell ya …they are expensive down here.

takes me bloody ages to wet trim trim a couple p..i stagger harvest them now so I don’t have to do it all at once..some plants take an hr or 2 .and even 3 when they have 6-7 oz…
