I am still not totally sold on this method as i find a hand trim to be way better quality. If i can make a system that works good and doesn't waste a bunch I am going to build legs with pillow bearings and use an electric motor with a belt that goes over the barrel to spin it. When using large dry buds with leaves attached it seemed to work quiet well. Two issues is that I need a trim tray underneath of some sort and i might need some smaller wire inside cause all the small buds fall through. Here is a video of a homemade marijuana trimmer machine. Designed to be portable, the DBT0 features two handles so that you can take it where you need it, and it only weighs 28 pounds. The CenturionPro DBT0 can easily trim up to 6 pounds of dry material in an hour, despite its size. With constant innovation and technology, people have found a way to make the trimming process a lot easier and faster. The CenturionPro Dry Batch Trimmer 0 (DBT0) was designed with the home grower in mind. It being such a large barrel it doesn't need much speed to be aggressive enough to trim. The time spent trimming your cannabis buds can be lessened a lot by using a mechanical bud trimmer. So for now i just have it set up between two ladders at the same height and spin it by hand. I didn't get fancy because I wanted to make sure it worked before I got to crazy with the idea. I took a food grade 55 gallon drum and used some farm page wire I had laying around. I've been coming up with all sorts of DIY ideas but this one seemed to be the best option. So as my plants are drying and curing I am about to enter the next phase of trimming.
