Hey there DGC,
Something has been on my mind. When learning how to dry trim off the worldwide interwebs i read other peoples rates for trimming were a lb per 4 hours which equates to a zip every 15 minutes. Is anyone else reaching these insane speeds? Or am i just the only one who thinks theyre insane.
Ive started using gloves that sped the process up and keeping the scissors in alcohol solution with a spare soaking. Also i learned to do trimming in stages to speed it up. Sometimes an oz can take over 30 minutes to trim. Forget about a lb that ends up taking 24 hours
Any other tips for steamlining the process of dry trimming that you use would be great.

I’m seriously tempted to make a mini wood chipper than you can feed dried untrimmed plants and get perfect ground flower out of. 😂😂😂

I am normally pullng around three to four Pounds a run.
The trim hell became too much for me so I devised a new system.
First I hang the plants whole and remove most of the fan leave quickly and without caring to get everything.
Then I let them get most of the way dry. Trim any left over Fan Leaves and buck all the Flowers of the stems into Brown paper bags with hydrometers inside.
I then let the bags hang for a few days more until the drying process is complete and then I run all the flowers through a bowl trimmer and put them in Grove bags, and I am done.
This breaks the whole process into small chunks of work and make it feel like much less work than trim jail is. Highly recommend.

@Shortlife Do you like using the bowl trimmer? I picked one up a few months ago and I’m afraid to use it and mess things up. Lol

@Shortlife I will be trying this in a month I like hire you broke it down to nugs. Do you notice any flatness from the nugs weight of being in the bags hung?

Yeah that sounds crazy fast. I guess it depends on how leafy the plant is and how many you can remove before hanging. I ran out of space in the dry tent and had to use one of the multi level mesh racks recently. I did a heavy wet trim and no dry trimming at all…

Bud structure and calyx to leaf ratio determine how time consuming the process is. Organizational skills will come in to play. Unorganized people take forever to do anything. Hours per pound is not the best example of efficiency with so many variables but 4-6 hours is standard for a pound.
