That's funny, because around here, trimmers all get paid in cash, every evening. Ten or so guys/girls lined up with with their Rubbermaid totes, weighing out, getting paid in cash and going home for the night. At $180 - $250 a pound, and with the fast guys doing three or more pounds a day, the slow guys doing a pound, and everyone else doing somewhere in between, well, you can do the math. And that's every night for a few days to a few weeks, depending on how much is sitting up on the hill. Once again, you can do the math.

just an f.y.i. vradd, most professional and even part-time trimmers would get a bit insulted if you tried to pay them in product. most of them have enough weed that they really don't need 2 more ounces sitting around the house. for these guys its a job, not just a fun hobby. now a few buds as a tip is always appreciated. i know a guy that trims 5 lbs in 9 hours, and he does it extremely well. most people pay him the $225 a Lb that he charges plus give him an ounce cause he saves them so much time and money!

i can't afford to pay trimmers. my wife and i spent 6 weeks straight trimming this past season. we put in anywhere from 4 to 10 hours a day. out of a 6 week stretch we took 2 days off. it was as much a job as any other job i've ever had.

Unless you know how many hours and hours of trimming is ahead of you.

The last hour is usually a bit more fun ;)

Some strains are very easy to trim and weigh up HUGE Ive done top rounds off a G13 strain that would be possible to trim that much in that amount of time. I dont know if i could have done it daily for weeks at a time but on some days I bet ya could.

I have spent one Saturday helping a friend out. Sun up to sun down. It was about 6 of us. We kept eachother laughing and the time went by fast. If someone local was needing to hire weekenders that would be cool.

Everyone harvested in Sept/Oct so the market got flooded, supposedly the prices will go back up once it dries up (I hope)

If not then oh well, more for me :weed:

Weight your shit before trimming starts, then ask for all the stems/trim back afterwards, weigh it, then add it to the bud weight. If it differs from your pre-amount weight by too much, then you call them out on that shit. Don't expect it to add up exactly, but if you're a few ounces light on a # then you've got a problem.

Also I'd never pay trimmers by the hour. Always by the #, then give a bonus in nugs if it's trimmed clean. That rewards people hourly if they are fast, and doesn't cost you if they are slow.

It does every year. Gets a little (or a lot) more flooded every year. It always goes back at some point.
