growing any plants here in chicago is technically a crime, 5+ plants = felony. Which is hardly a criminal lmao. i can easily smoke my whole crop between harvests. regardless im not a fan of those machines, It would break my heart to throw my nug in one of those fuckers

Not frivolous when each plant is 1lb+...
Time=$$$
I don't know bud. Those inexpensive machines, which this is by comparison to a good one, tend to damage the bud, over chop and strip some trichomes. They are getting better but still can't compare to hand trimming. That said, they sure save a ton of time. Guess it's just personal preference as I know nobody that likes to trim pot.

Only people who grow that much are criminals or businesses. If it's a business I understand the expense but in the majority personal grow situations I think most people here are that is just way too much money.
Really?
It only takes a $100 600w hps to grow 1+ lbs plants.

If you think you have to either be a "professional" or "criminal" to be able to grow plants that size, then you must have some "major" issues going on with your garden.

Agreed. Professional criminal until the closet was opened by the state. Just a law abiding hermit now. 1# plants are unavoidable if all is in order.

Still fun here @.Smoke . LOl. 003.jpg

For the record I got just over a pound from my last plant, that's one single plant that took up my whole tent. I am now running my 4 plant legal limit but if I don't get a pound out of it I may just quite growing.

Yeah, the machine definitely isn't the greatest by any means.
But it hands down beats 8 hours of trim time. :)

2 pairs of decent quality thick bladed shears with return spring and a jar of acetone to soak until current pair is bonded. Brand is not an issue. Proper care is the difference.

These are my go to final trim. But good for nothing more. Weak blades easily bent by stems. And my wet trimmers. 002.jpg016.jpg015.jpg

Oh boy weve got a full blown drug lord here. Call in the cavalry. Anyone dealing with unimportant matters like child trafficking, murders, gang units, etc for the love of god get after this drug kingpin NOW. He must be stopped.

They are expensive. eBay is a good source of Amazon it too pricey. I’m cheap and honestly I wouldn’t hesitate getting these again. They are super well built so I can’t see them not lasting. I DO use other scissors to buck up the thick stems so I don’t stress the chika’s though.

you get used to no spring really quick and you can really go fast once you get the hang of fluttering the blade.
Japanese made scissors are incredible, well worth the price. I have a pair of Canary cardboard shears that I'm in love with.
