Trimming is a lot of work

Great!
I've never had much trouble with the trim.
Maybe get a better tool.

I have the Fiskers Micro shears and they are awesome. I don't have trouble with it, I actually like it but it becomes monotonous sometimes. 
Don't you ever feel that way when you trim hops? ;) 
 
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: you want I to call the HYBRID clipper. Legend has it about twenty years ago the best female Mendo clipper got together with the best male clipper from Humbolt. And she gave birth to THE HYBRID CLIPPER. I've seen her work, and shit you not she can clip 6P in a eight hour shift. She wont show up for anything less than 24P though. She's pretty busy these days but I'm sure she could fit you in.

Well I am old. Initial trim, dry, final trim.   :rofl:
Takes 4 hours for the final trim per plant.

Hybrid? Gas and electric? :lol:
 
Hell yeah!
There ya go PMD... Get ya one of those Humbolt Hybrid clippers and cut your work in half or more.
Careful though... Watch out for the dry trim. It could chafe your satchel!

I know your serious hogleg!
I met her once... I tried to tell her to get a weed eater to shave her knuckles.

See you know what I'm talking about. They say the father didn't live far from where the Patterson Film was made. And was Very hairy. Some even say he may be a decendent of the old Sasquach hybrid woman from Weitchipec reported of in the early 20s.
 
It's Aunt Bunny, isn't it Gus?
I ain't sayin it's a bad thing, but she's got a hairy upper lip. She's a damn Bigfoot isn't she?

Fiskars are all you need! I hate machines, bloody baseball makers, bruising and bashing all the effort you put in. Hymes love them for keeping the crystal back from the finished end, but that's little different from running it through a tumbler. I'm more of a unionist, one to grow, others to trim :rofl:

HAW HAW HAW You don't say?
 
I've tried a bunch of the competition and always come back to the fiskars. Got about thirty pair, even have two original pair before they were all made in china. They weigh twice as much and still have a great edge.
