I think the 1-3 a day mark is average. But some are great trimmers (you hire them even when you can’t stand them because they do 3-5x the work of everyone else), most are average (about a pound a day) and some just suck no matter how many tips you give them…
I once had a trimmer that really needed the money, hated all the hippies, didn’t smoke, and had never trimmed before… He put his headphones on, didn’t say a word all day, and was doing double what even my superstar girls were doing. And it was great work.
Also, how good a grower you are makes a huge difference in how fast they trim.
I get to set up this bad boy next week, we will see how it does…
When I started 25 years ago, it was just me growing outdoors. I big leafed and hung all the plants. I have arthritis in my hands, so I couldn’t scissor dry trim to manicure. I put the grid base for an oxy-pot in the bottom of a 5-gallon bucket and shook the hell out of it. The flowers looked great and the trim made some great bubble hash and edibles.
Now, if I’m cash cropping, I buck then wet trim using a Centurion. They are over-built and are reliable being made from metal on metal parts. Twisters tend to break IME being made of plastic parts.
If I’ve got some fire or it’s for my wife and family to puff on, I pay someone $100-$200/lb to hand trim depending on skill and how good it looks.
Leave it to the pro’s and avoid the jobs you hate, dont get me wrong i have way more than trimmed the weight of my truck several times over. So im good i got no intention of doing it any more. It all goes to a trimmer and comes back done, everyones happy
Ya, my time is the one thing i cant get back, and using these guys they are essentially working for them selves since its piece work and the job is done to satisfaction.
Not only chlorophyll but ethylene off gassing & turning sugars to starch instead of converting. Hands down hang dry knock off cured after 10-14 days at 40-55% 65f
Edit if you can hit close to 37f, you’ll have the best chlorophyll draw out of your plant, watch how easy that shit cures to perfection on a 2 week cold cure. I rear elm do this, but if I were to be on legal market in a cultivation I want my name on product I would take my time with it, connoisseur boujee shit.
You know, over my years of being a trim boss in SomHum, I realized that Humbolt county really has a lock on curing/drying more than growing conditions. I grew up in the sierras and the north coast just has such great fall drying conditions on the fall that the product came out so much better.
