Trimmers

I've heard great and horrible things about them. First they destroy dry bud especially fluffy bud. If your growing sativss that tend to be fluffy it could he a nightmare for you. Everyone recommends to do a wet trim, as it don't rip the buds to shreds. They don't do as good of as job as a tumbler, or hand trimming. But that's expected. It depends on how perfect your buds gotta be. If it's personal then it will suffice and you can just pull the odd sugar leaf out when your rolling a Doobie. If it's for resale then you will have to trim it up after the bowl go get it better looking.. There is other methods, they make a vacuum suction trimmer. It is hand held, and uses your vacuum to remove the cuttings. They are expensive but remove the leaves great, and since it's hand held you have control on how much damage the buds get. The bowls are a great way to trim personal smoke and all are the same and come from China tbh. Buy the cheapest one. Do yourself a favor and check out some reviews, if it has no reviews i wouldnt go for it. But you don't gotta get a name brand most expensive one either. If its got some good reviews then its alright.

Yes, I love mine. See my red poison diary for videos and pictures. Rotate 1 minute clockwise, 30 seconds counter, another 30 clockwise. Do it slowly. Hand trim top colas And use whatever is collected for bubble hash, edibles, ect.

they don't do a good job. but they do get it done quicker. the bowl trimmer is better used wet. you'll mutilate larger chunks of bud if dry. i've put a few pounds through it. kept blad clean and hasn't dulled yet. still cared to touch that thing, lol, defintely going to cut myself at some point. If you can get a larger one cheaply, increased surface area scales up quickly. 24" is 177% larger than an 18" version - fewer fill ups to get done. i wouldn't worry about name brand on a bowl trimmer because they are all imprecise. this was a couple years ago, but found a 24" version for 175ish? Read reviews and make sure it's not some dud manufacturer, but otherwise these are all essentially the same. tumblers might give a closer shave. probably knock off a bit more beyond leaf too, but not too much. Unless it has blades, will need dry buds. can always collect anything good lost for re-use. Compared to the bowl where the blade is behind a grate and only what sticks through more than 1/8" or more will get lopped off, the cause of the trimmingis coming in direct contact with the buds. probably does a better job as far as leaving less behind, but also takes off more good stuff. some of those have blades as part of it... some it's just hitting side of contaner with hexagonal holes and friction pulls off the leaves. they get expensive. Can probably DIY something similar. weedbag thing with a spiral blade or whatever inside == again, probably tighter than a bowl trimmer, but beats the shit out of your weed, lol. the better job it does, the more waste is likely invovled. Can of course do something with the trim to recoup the waste

and not to forget, look if the shop has single blades for change too, and order agood amount, i bought abowl trimmer, and had ahard time to get new blades

the bowl trimmer are qute similar, gt the cheapest

OK I wasn't a fan of the bowl trimmer I borrowed of a friend. It didn't really do a good job. He has used it multiple time since then and I still think his buds look shit compared to hand trimmed buds.
