How long does it take trimming for 1lb?

[kdt15]

to get 1lb of indoor, how long wouldtrimming take? can it be reasonably done in 8 hours? i figure a noob will probably take 3x longer

Definitely one pound, definitely!

.. about an ounce an hour would be a ballpark trimming rate, but I got arthritis in my trimming-hand so you might even be faster ?

my last harvest had 5 medium plants, got 2.3 lbs off them took an entire weekend with me my wife and a friend trimming 10 hrs a day. but we are methodical and trim them tight.

I could not see trimming a pound with one person in 8 hours, that being said this depends a lot on the leaf to bud ratio of the plants as well.

I hear you! I recently spent over 9 hours on one plant, it was about 8 oz but it was very leafy

This is what the 5 plants looked like near harvest lol They were hearty

Hearty and not a lot of leaf, nice plants look like they would be a pleasure to trim.

ouch, anyone outsource the trimming part then? i wonder what rates go for (flat payment per pound harvested, or hourly, or etc?)

Some places rent out trimmers.

Like Staff Kings? Or did you mean the machinery? Do they staff trimmers at temp agencies in legal states? Might be a good business model

To trim a lb around here it wold likely take the weekend and cost ya about a zip, and maybe $.

I get bored doing it so my old lady typically does it. She rarely completes more than a QP in a day. None is cash crop, all personal meds so not really in much of a hurry.

Trimming is probably my least favorite thing to do. Always feel burnt out after staring at the buds turning around getting trimmed for hours and hours. Not to mention the hand cramps haha. But it always feels nice to get a harvest trimmed and jarred. I say 12+ hours for a lb solo trimming. But various factors to consider

They were awesome plants and a great strain (Chocolate Creame) but i hate trimming so that part of it still sucked lol, my wife and her friend love it they sit at dinning room table drink Dosxx and trim for 2 or 3 days straight lol

A pound in 8 hours trimmed is average

they dont hire unless u can trim a pound a shift

 

[charface]

1 day, how many hours will that day last?
Depends...

a shift meaning 1 8-hr shift or like a 4hr shift?

I really think the plant matters, no way could one person trim a pound by hand with scissors of my DP Blueberry in 8 hours and it be a decent trim let alone up to my standards.
