How long do you trim for in one sitting?

I only have to deal with about 9-14 ounces every 2-3 months and it takes me around 7 or 8 hours.

As TD said, I set a timer for about an hour. I get up, stretch



walk around and try to shake off the cobwebs.
I focus so hard it messes with my brain.

I usually have tunes on, might try some mindless tv.
Think I'll get a massage next time I trim, my neck and shoulders get really stiff.

3 days non stop was my longest
fuck that is amazing , i need to find something to watch/listen to in the background while i chop helps me zone out for a few hours at a time
i have done two 6 hour chops in the same day before, but i wouldn't do that again

i have tried to use helpers in the past but when i see how slow they chop its just irritating
its like they not even trying lol

peace

I can chop half a kg in about 8-10 hours. I try to make it easier by doing a few hours the night before.

My bf cuts the popcorn and smaller pieces. He's still really slow at it but it's great to have company.

In previous years I've had my gf's over to cut the outdoor on the terrace in bikinis. That's a lot of fun. We can still sunbathe end of sept and beg of Oct.

4 to 6 hours, after this time i have too much scissor hash to smoke and i get distracted
if you chop for too long in one sitting you will get scissor blisters
When I used to hand trim, I trimmed for about 18 hours straight the day before a golf tournament. I had the worst blisters ever. Came in dead last, I was worthless. Had to tell people I got burnt by a rope. Lol

if only non growing folk knew the hardship we growers go through, scissor blisters and all
they might have more respect than they do lol

i have seen some folk wear latex type gloves i do not think this would help with blisters though
i am not sure that i want to start putting things on to chop,
i normally like to strip off somewhat when i am chopping
i like to have a good air supply flowing around my nuts when i am sitting and chopping for long periods makes things more comfortable

i had a pair of those type of scissors they sell them in the hydro stores here
they are expensive like £8 to £12
i find them too slow, i like to use normal type scissors
i buy a fresh pair for each chop they are like £1
new scissors are nice and sharp :)
i can chop faster with small scissors

i normally pull all the big leaves off by hand when the plants are still standing
leaving only the smaller leaves and cola leaves to chop this makes it quicker for me overall
and less chopping
