Are you in the market for a new cannabis trimmer? An automated trimmer is a significant investment. Luckily, we’ve compiled a list of tips to help you choose the right trimmer for your commercial cannabis growing operation!

Considerations When Buying an Automated Cannabis Trimmer

When purchasing a new automated cannabis trimmer, there are many things to consider. But perhaps the most significant factors are your experience, harvest size, and whether you’ll be wet or dry trimming indoors or outdoors.

Your Experience

The first consideration is whether you’ve owned or operated an automated trimmer before. If you only have experience with hand trimming, switching to automation is a significant investment and can take some adjusting.

On the practical side, if it’s your first time using a machine like a trimmer, you likely want something simpler and easier to use, clean, and maintain. Also, consider purchasing from somewhere with customer support services in case you encounter any problems with your new trimmer.

The Harvest Size

Next, you should consider the size of the harvest you need to trim. If you’re in the market for a commercial cannabis trimmer, you likely have a substantial harvest to get through.

Obviously, you want a machine that can meet your trimming needs, but you should keep in mind your future needs if you plan to expand. An automated cannabis trimmer means greater efficiency and capability of trimming large harvests, so it may be beneficial to invest in a more capable trimmer now instead of doing so once you expand your harvest.

Indoor vs. Outdoor Trimming

Is your harvest grown indoors or outdoors? The answer could affect the type of trimmer you need. Some trimmers are more durable than others and can work outside in the fields and sun all day, while others are more suited for indoor trimming.

Plus, cannabis plants grown outdoors typically require greater trimming, as outdoor cannabis plants have more leaves. As such, you’ll want a more capable automated trimmer for an outdoor harvest.

Wet vs. Dry Trimming

Lastly, you’ll have to consider whether you will be wet trimming, dry trimming, or doing a mixture of both for your harvests. Remember that not every strain is the same. Each crop may react differently with the same growing conditions and moisture levels and, therefore, may be more suited to wet or dry trimming.

Ideally, you want a cannabis trimmer that can switch between both trimming styles. Our bud trimmers can operate as both wet and dry trimmers, so growers don’t have to choose between them.
