Thanks MR1, there were no reviews on Amazon.ca and I figured *** just order it. After reading your post I did I more thorough search for reviews and you are absolutely correct. I managed to cancel the order before it shipped.

Hoping these guys get back to me on additional shipping options otherwise I will be doing it the old fashion way which I both love and hate :)
 
well....after 10 or so hours to figure my machine...the wife wants to run it....hehehe...love this lil' gem!!!!!

I have been against machine trimmers for a long time...just didn't like the way they cut. I also like keeping my friends working, as they look forward to harvest time.
For my outdoor project this year, we bought a redesigned Twister trimmer machine, and I have to say it works great. We can take down 10+ plants a day with 4 folks, which is amazing. The finished product is super clean, no crows feet or shagginess at all. 3 people cutting plants and feeding the machine, and 1 on quality control. The QC guy stands at the end of the machine and hand finishes anything questionable that comes thru, which is a nug or 2 for every 200 or so.
It hooks up to a vacuum pump and the cut is controlled by setting the correct vac level. Too much, it will tear the bud up, too little, it dosent do the job. I had to send a couple of guys to a training class to run the damn thing.
Bottom line, it saves an outdoor guy HUGE time and HUGE expense. Taking down 500# gardens in 10-14 days. We are making a killing on renting it out when we don't use it.
As far as running indoor thru it...I think it would work well, but I will prob not try it on my indoor.
 
Crows feet, that is what those are called, i hate those Hal... How do you avoid those?

I'm curious how you cure those large amounts....coolers, jars(haha), other devices...I have a 15 plant outdoor garden..I have my drying figured...but I need bigger curing vessels than 1 gal pickle jars...appreciate any info...;))

I would guess the product is moved once it is dry enough, without a cure.
 
Try not to squint much, and use moisturizer at night :)

Thank you for that great laugh this morning, that was so funny.



mojoganjaman I use jars that are no bigger then a gallon. I found some great sealing jars on line for a great price. Look around, we don' t want them much bigger then a gallon or they could get mold if not all the way dry when put in.

Good luck to you.

well...I figure I will have 15-20 lbs dry...thats alot of 1 gal jars...I'm not a dealer, I'm a patient...so the cure is important...just trying to lessen the workload...the Shearline 2.0 solved my "too many folks in my house/yard" at harvest time...now 5 folk do the work of 10...I suppose if I have to I will buy a whack of gallon jugs...thanks Rose...green mojo to all!!

A lot of large growers use Turkey cooking bags, they have perforated holes to allow moisture to escape. I dry a lot of weight each month, and a rack with 1/4" screen is what I use to dry....2 gal zip-lock bags to cure.

I think some large tupperware would be your best bet.
 
ok...large tupperware tubs for cure...kin I store in said tub????

thanks for your responses...;))

Yeah bags just don't seal, unless your talking foodsaver sealed bags
if you really want to use bags; there's a brand called 'zip zag bags' (formerly BC bags) they work amazingly well.
i have a couple they gave out years a go for promotion, that still seal great today (i use them for storing my hash trim that use to stink out my freezer, before them ;) )

i go with large tupperware myself for curing and storing my OD.

Mostly cured in Turkey bags once the final trim is complete.

The machine I am talking about does a pretty good job of cleaning out crows feet, but there is a person stationed on the end of the machine to inspect and herb that might need a hand trim, which is not much at all.
 
Boy, things sure have changed for pot dealers. LMAO When I did it in the 60's I let the buyer do the "trimming"..... as well as cleaning out all the sticks and stems and seeds....LMAO

I miss brickweed and folder-over baggies. LMAO
 
Hackerman, i wasn't 60 in the 60's....give me the trimmer, thank you.
