Grim! Trimmers mainly female, bad vibes and people on Murder Mountain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stummer Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Can’t lie trimming would drive me nuts . Can I ask though, is the main reason people get a job in the industry simply because of not having the money to get themselves set up? Maybe that’s the case with a lot of jobs and industries. Just the idea of growing weed for a living sounds a lot better if doing it for yourself. Maybe it feels different than other industries as doing that already. @Ch@ppers how’s the businesses doing abroad? No doubt making a profit or wouldn’t be going. I imagine though it’s not all as green as perhaps many imagined? “ the black market” still doing alright n taking sales simply because of things like not paying tax.

I use those fiskars too, but has anyone taken the plunge on the more expensive ceramic coated ones that apparently don't get clogged with resin? If so are they much better? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
