how fast can one trim a pound?

6 hours, including all the prep work/cleanup is about right for me.

About the same, I take as much leaf off as I can, takes around 6

Took me and my guy around 10 hrs to trim and clean up 1.25 lbs. We were also watching movies and getting stoned. We're also relatively new.

I'm surprised not many people have factored in the quality of the tools. Use the wrong scissors, and by the time you're 2 or 3 hours into it, your fingers are hurting, you've got blisters on the hands and fingers, and it starts to slow you down. Get a good pair of cutters, that fits the hand well and has the right spring tension, and time flies by a lot faster.

Yeah many hours but figure out a system and it goes well, 2 lbs takes me 5 days at 3-4 hrs per day at a relaxed pace.

depends on the strain..... the flower to leaf ratio...... it could take has short has one hour to trim a pound or has long has 2-3... it all depends on leafiness, and how well you wanna manicure......... if a leaf is super sugary i leave that bad boy on there.....

What he said.

It takes me so fucking long. Especially now that I've been dry trimming. I'm way too picky when I trim. And I like to get the base of the sugar leave stem but not touch anything else, so wet trim is so much easier but leaving that stuff on for drying seems to help slow it down and keep the flavor better.

Depends how much i smoke before... and during trimming. I can get pretttyyy picky lmao

I see many outdoor grows trimmed with one of these, just let the leaf get sucked threw and as it spins around it trims.

I keep the trim from bud cuts
but the big fan leaves I dig a hole in the back garden
but the fucking rockwool
ya can't dump it or burn it
and it's not sort of stuff ya want in your bin or hanging around in the garden
right now I gotta pay a dude to off it
pain in the ass

I almost fill up pots with old rockwool then put a layer of potting soil on top and feed them hydro nutrients, grows some pretty cool outdoor.

All dam day easy

8 hours seems about right

indoor id say I cold trim a quarter pound in hour 15 minutes. id say 5 to 6 hours if all i did was sit there and trim plant after plant.

and it helps when your tops weigh 7 to 10 grams. guess I better post a pic now. these are only half way done

I will have clubs lined up to give me BJ's for this next month

I turn it into kief. I get about 50 grams out of a 4x4 tent

Or 12, 1 ounce cola's

I actually find it relaxing to sit down and trim for a couple hours after work.

I would highly recommend fiskars micro titanium 5 for heavy tool users. They are spring loaded almost perfectly to keep the finger cramps away and have a nice "hand tool" feel to it.

Yea i like it too. Then im 6 pounds in and hating life

I am suffering with blisters right now because I couldn't find my good trimming shears. Just went and bought a new pair. Sewing scissors are no substitute! It took me about 4 hrs to trim 5 ozs with the sewing scissors...and my hands are really swollen.
