electric trimmers

whats up guys-

I've researched this for about an hour and a half and decided to get some input...

within the past week i just trimmed 36 plants by hand and i've realized how much of a pain it is even though i love doing it.

i had 150 plants coming in 9 weeks, and another 150 plants in 11 weeks.

I need to find an electric trimmer.

I've seen big barrels that spin the buds around almost like a cotton candy machine... but I'm afraid that these will damage the trichomes and white layers on the outside of the bud....

Does anyone have experience with electric trimmers? If so please share what the name of it is, price range, where i can find one ect.

ALSO- I need to find a good vacuum sealer, so if anyone also has good experience with one, im looking for a reliable one that wont crap out on me, and has some not so expensive replacement bags..

Please and thank you!

How about a Drimel with a sharp bit to slice them right off? (just a thought...)

I'd love to help you trim them for free though, lol

i'm not looking for something to trim them off the plant, im looking for something where i cure the bud by hanging it upside down, without making it look pretty, and once its dryer, i'd throw it in a machine, or do the trimming that would need to get done with an electric trimmer.

the one i've seen i like so far is called the grass chopper, but ive heard it gums up with hash fairly quickly, and its a bitch to clean...

keep suggestions comin~!

Too bad you're in Colorado, here in California we just hire a bunch of illegals, lol

its a partnership haha

I'm only 20 and going to school, so i just fly out there once every other weeks for a weekend to help out

i just threw 10,000 bux to get it going :]

haha.
yeah all my friends are willing to help too, and i have my card but gay colorado laws kinda screwed me over.. i can't go into dispensaries anymore.
glad my partner is in his 30's :]

whats the typical rate of paying an illegal? just curious as to how much a clipper makes so i can pay my friends :]

Honestly I dont know. The way things are I wouldn't doubt it if you can get some help for about $50 a day right now

That's insane. I was watching my favorite documentary, The Union, and in it they said the clippers in BC were paid 20 bucks an hour, tax free :]


is the market really that inflated out there?
 
my buddy was just up north helping out a friend of his who pays 10$/hr and lets them keep all the finger hash, I'm pretty sure that guy grows trees though my friend said he had 25 foot plants this year =P

by the looks of that video, it looks like it got the big leaves but my buds arent even close to that big, i have the one big cola but the other ones i dont think would work..

im looking for a product already on the market that people can vouch work wonders.
thing is, i dont wanna drop 1000 bucks a pop because i'd like to buy 2 or 3, so im looking for something below 400 bucks..

help!
