I am about 6 weeks away from my 1st harvest and want to ask if anyone has used anything like this for trimming or if you have any better suggestions. Thanks in advance. :dunce:

I've used spring loaded and just regular scissors. Anything more than a plant or two and believe me, you want the springs.

I see many people who like Fiskers. These are nice and small for the fine trime job.

call me a cheap f'er, but I ise the kids model classroom scissors (prob fiskars). They are like 2$ at walmart, and after I scrape what I can off for "scissor hash" I throw em away.... I only do at most 8 plants at a time.

Scissors, and go personal with the cutting!

FWIW, if folks are looking, I saw good stock of these things in Home Depot and Lowes (gardening section) over the weekend.

It's shame Fiskars discontinued the longer version of the micro tips. They used to be my reference standard, but all has changed since Zenport introduced its trimming tools. It's as if they're specifically made for a grower.
