I think its more than that. 50lbs *16 oz a lb = 800 total ounces. Then you need 800/x = 4oz/6hrs to get to your hourly trim rate, so 800*6 = 4x, x=1200 hours to get 50 lbs trimmed at your 4 oz per 6hr rate. You are trimming 1 lb in 24 hours, so 50 days straight.

This is the sort of stuff that bounces around my head when I can't sleep. Sure is a shame weed prices can't really cover the overhead to get it finished properly anymore.

I tried out the silicone brush method for trimming this year, I liked it and so did my hands. Wound up with nicer looking end results as I tend to be lazy and quick with scissors and end up leaving too much leaf.

I was thinking of getting one of those. I have issues with tendinitis in my hands and wrists so trimming gets painful. That’s the main reason I don’t like doing it.

I just gave it a go with a regular silicone basting brush rather than that bud brush thing, worked way better than I was expecting. Going to trim the bristles down a bit to make them stiffer next time, but it worked better than expected. Just defan the large leaves with big stems, hang dry till the leaves you want to remove are dry and brittle, hold the branch over a tray or something if you are collecting kif/trim, and brush away. Super quick and easy, going to assume it works best on stuff with decent density, I could see fluffy buds getting a bit mangled.

I did keep the snips nearby when jarring stuff up for any last minute touchups, but overall it was better.

Same here. I have flashlights in both cars, one on my plasma lighter, one on my keychain, a head lamp and about a dozen others scattered around the house. My 10,000 lumen Cree is a beast! I can put a perfect circle of light anywhere within a few blocks of me

Id be interested in that plasma lighter how does it work?

Why spend a fortune to play with radio these days? Listen to anything on the air for $30. Replaces a wall of radios.
There are a ton of dongles for sale and free software.

Here's mine for $13 from Amazon. it charges by usb and lasts maybe 50 hits before a two hour recharge. It arcs a plasma charge across 4 points, making a cross. They're cool, but with limited heat penetration you're limited to one hitters or wide shallow bowls. I always use a one hitter for emission control. Its also cool not inhaling butane from your bic. Do not use with metal bowls unless you like heart stopping shocks. I had to go buy a ceramic one hitter lol

I hear ya brother

With me being surrounded here in CT by states that sell, my sales went way down & I had to reduce price by around 30%
The money just wasn't there anymore so I stopped like over a year ago but had enough stashed to last until around 3 months ago.
Since I ran out, I got a little from a friend but mostly from stores that sell that commercialized shit in packaging that's always a motherfucker to open.
Anyone else have that problem?

Anyway, my herb is better, (at least I am told that) & sold at a competitive price, so there's no problem there & the novelty of the stores is wearing off, so I think I'll put some seeds in & grow 12 plants which is 1/2 my normal so I'll will reduce my cost 50%., which is very important now.
Before with 27 fixtures running my bill was over $400 per month, $300 above normal.

I'll do 12 in a perp which should give me around 40 oz or so monthly, which is 1080 grams X $15 per = $16, 200 gross per month.
That's perfect World shit though with all plants producing 3.5 oz in hydro indoors.

That very rarely happens.

Anyway, I miss MY HERB!!!!!!

MINE, MINE, MINE!!!!

Seriously, I thought the other stuff could/would be better.

It ain't

Anyway me thinking about growing has put me in the mood for some of this :)
