Trimpro Rotor vs Trimpro Automatik

Written by admin on September 3, 2015. Posted in Blog.

Should you get a Trimpro Automatik, Trimpro Rotor or some other automatic trimmer? What to do? Harvesting time is around the corner and it is finally dawning on you that you lack the man power and the will power to trim your harvest by hand. If you are like most of us, at this point you scramble for information – you scan the web with determination and ask around for the best solution in mechanical trimming equipment.

First things first, check out this Pro Video for the Trimpro Rotor to get a feel of how powerful yet gentle this automatic trimmer is…

Now here’s a Pro Video for the Trimpro Automatik…

Why a Trimpro Trimmer?

You need a trimmer that will surgically remove all excess leaves and twigs without damaging your valuable flowers or buds. As you discover that there is a huge variety of hydroponic trimming equipment available on the market, your next move is to figure out the processing power you require and cross-check it with your budget. Figure in your research, advice from friends, tips from your local hydro store and pointers from all the self-proclaimed indoor gardening experts online – like me – and now you are thoroughly confused…

Trimpro is the obvious choice for Automatic Trimmers…

Let’s clear the fog. When in doubt about hydroponic trimming equipment you must go with the most trusted, reliable and highly recognized trimming machines on the market; Of course I am talking about Trimpro. Trimpro Trimming Machines such as the Trimpro Original, the Trimbox, the Trimpro Automatik, the Trimpro Rotor and the Trimpro XL offer a variety of features and benefits all wrapped up in a state-of-the-art design with unparalleled reliability. They are the most trusted bud trimmers on the market and are considered the industry standard for clean, gentle, precise trimming.

This brings us to our next Question, which Trimpro Trimmer should you choose?

Now that we are clear that Trimpro is our answer, we can proceed with a few more questions. The following questions were posed by Jason- a hydroponic grower from Michigan: “Hi I’m interested in two of your trimmers; the Trimpro Rotor and the Trimpro Automatik. The price difference is not a big factor for me.” His main concerns were as follows: Which trimmer is the most precise and gentle on buds and flowers?

Which trimmer is the best for handling larger buds and greater volume? Which trimmer is fastest?? – Trimpro Rotor v Trimpro Automatik

With regard to flower trimming, precision and delicate treatment of flowers are one and the same. The Trimpro Automatik spins flowers around a powder-coated grill using airflow, while the Rotor works with leather fingers that rub and rotate the harvest against the grate. In both systems, Trimpro’s high caliber tempered-steel blades hoover below the grate and trim excess leaves as the buds align with the slots in the grate.

Some people prefer to have fingers to roll the flowers while others like using air pressure. There are no conclusive studies that prove one system to be gentler than the other. In terms of precision, both trimmers allow for variable blade height by merely loosening a few screws on the blade hub. All kinds of fine-tuning is available – all just a question of personal preference.

For large flowers it is recommended to use a Trimpro Original and trim the flower by hand. (Nobody wants to cut down a foot-long flower just to fit it into a trimmer.) On the other hand, smaller and medium size flowers easily fit into the Trimpro Automatik and the Rotor for speedy and precision trimming. When it comes to speed of processing, the Trimpro Automatik delivers results significantly faster. In fact the Rotor has about ½ to ¾ the processing abilities of the Trimpro Automatik in equal time.

Trimpro Rotor with Workstation — The new TRIMPRO ROTOR has been designed and developed at the request of end users who are looking for yet another gentle and efficient Trimpro quality product.

As you can probably tell, Trimpro makes a trimmer for every possible bud trimming situation. It’s time to stop wasting energy, money, time and your fingers and get an automatic trimmer. When these machines are used properly and well taken care of, we haven’t seen anything that cuts through volume at such a high rate. We love them!

Only Trust Grozone CO2 Generators and Climate Controllers for Indoor Gardening

Written by Web Hydroponics on August 13, 2015. Posted in Blog.

Don’t get me wrong, I love saving money on inexpensive products, but there are too many variables in indoor gardening to take chances with cheap, unreliable products; it’s not the right way to become a successful indoor grower. With this in mind, it doesn’t matter whether I’m dealing with odor control, climate control or water control, I purchase reliable controllers that may cost more than their imported counterparts at first, but they will repay dividends because they will last many years and cycles of growing. And if something happens, I want a product that has a long-term reliable warranty.

CO2 Enrichment is Essential in Optimizing Green Houses and Grow Rooms, but it Can be Dangerous

Almost all school children know from science class that CO2 is an essential ingredient in the equation of photosynthesis; all experienced indoor growers know that a key way to increase yield in an optimized grow room is to increase availability of CO2. This statement is perfectly logical. The only curveball associated with CO2 enrichment is the fact that it can be downright dangerous if a grower is careless. Many inexperienced growers are quick to pick up cheaper, more-affordable CO2 propane burners in order to “save” a few dollars. We often end up hearing about these growers on the late night news or in the local papers under the heading “Investigation of Grow House Explosion Underway” or “Explosion Blows Lid off Local Grow House”.

North American Made and ETL Certified Grozone CO2 Burners are the Ultimate in Reliability and Safety

On the other hand using safe and reliable propane burners for CO2 enrichment can provide huge benefits: increase yields by 10 to 30% while reducing growing times by 10 to 30%. For CO2 burners, I recommend the Grozone LP5 (15 000 BTU/hour propane burner) or LP10 (30 000 BTU/hour propane burner). These Canadian-made units feature an electronic smart valve which lights the gas nozzle only when necessary; this smart valve is monitored by built-in Honeywell components that reduce waste of propane and generate a shutdown if ignition fails or when required. Grozone CO2 Burners are built with unique collapsible enclosures which are protected by a high temperature coating. With all these safety mechanisms in place, Grozone CO2 Burners are among the only ETL Certified propane burners available on the market and they come with a Grozone 1-year, no hassle warranty.

Let’s look at the specs of their CO2 Generators…

Grozone LP5 CO2 Generator

The LP5 generator is a 15 000 BTU/hour propane burner activated via a 120Vac power cord. The electronic smart valve lights the gas nozzle only when necessary reducing waste of propane as regular standing pilot. The unique collapsible enclosure design enables space and shipping cost savings and is protected by a high temperature coating. The unit can either rest on the floor or be suspended to ceiling. The LP5 model will generate about 17 cubic feet of pure CO2 every hour of operation. ETL Listed. The accessory kit includes a 10-ft hose and gas regulator assembly, two “S” hooks, Two 3-ft chain sections and one replacement fuse (1A 250V Slow Blow) tied to the power cord

Grozone LP10 CO2 Generator

The LP10 generator is a 30 000 BTU/hour propane burner activated via a 120Vac power cord. The electronic smart valve lights the gas nozzle only when necessary reducing waste of propane as regular standing pilot. The unique collapsible enclosure design enables space and shipping cost savings and is protected by a high temperature coating. The unit can either rest on the floor or be suspended to ceiling. The LP10 model will generate about 35 cubic feet of pure CO2 every hour of operation. ETL Listed. The accessory kit includes a 10-ft hose and gas regulator assembly, two “S” hooks, two 3-ft chain sections and one replacement fuse (1A 250V Slow Blow) tied to the power cord.

Cold Water Extraction of Essential Oils with XXXtractor Bags and XXXtractor Wash Bags

Written by Web Hydroponics on July 30, 2015. Posted in Blog.

So, you’ve managed to grow and harvest the most magnificent lavender plants on the planet. The fragrance is there for the taking, but how do you start? How do you most effectively extract those precious essential oils? Ruling out chemicals and other contaminants, your best bet is cold water extraction. With this simple process all you need is a set of high-quality extractor bags, a bucket, some ice water and something you can use to stir.

Choose XXXtractor Bag Quality for your Herbal Extracts

The only real decisions to be made before starting are: selection of extraction bags and the number of bags (or grades) you intend to use. We like to work with XXXtractor bags because they are fully assembled in Canada. Also, they use the toughest 100% waterproof nylon fabric available for the side walls, with a specially engineered, industrial-grade, Swiss polyester yarn mesh for precise, reliable and durable filtration.

The basic set includes three bags with escalating grades of filtration: 25 microns, 75 microns, and 220 microns. For those who prefer more grades of filtration, there is a 5 bag set that includes 100 and 150 microns. These extra extractor bags allow you to separate your herbal essences into 5 different grades of purity. Also, if you grow a variety of plants with different crystal sizes, additional filtration levels allow you to capture the optimal extract from your entire garden. (Depending on the amount of plant material you are working with, XXXtractor bags are available in 1 gallon, 5 gallon, 14 gallon and 55 gallon sizes.)

Step-by-step Cold Water Extraction Process

The process is simple:

Insert one bag into another with the finest filtration level on the bottom (25 microns) working up to the highest (220 microns) and line the bucket with the entire set of extractor bags
Add cold water to the bucket until it is half-way full
Add the plant material to the water and spread it around evenly
Add enough ice to cover all the plant material
Stir vigorously for approximately 20 minutes – feel free to cheat with a hand mixer
Carefully remove each extractor bag individually and let the water drain completely over the bucket, before setting aside.
XXXTractor Washing Bags

For those who are veterans in the world of cold water extraction and prefer to enlist the help of a washing machine before adding plant material to the extractor bags; XXXtractor offers two sizes of mesh Wash Bags to be used with small washing machines such as the bubble machine or regular size machines. Cool demonstration videos are available online such as the one below.

Review: Does the Biowave Mini Really Work?

Written by Web Hydroponics on July 2, 2015. Posted in Blog.

As a skeptic by nature I was very reluctant to purchase a Biowave Mini. Does this thing actually do anything other than look like an awesome prop for a sci-fi movie? Every product is hyped beyond belief in this industry and people are always hesitant to make large purchases for unproven products. Well, since I have access to the Biowave Mini, we decided to test it out…

A Shorter Veg Period with the Biowave Mini

After running a controlled side by side I can tell you with 100% certainty that the Biowave Mini machine does work. Right from the start the biowave mini plants were clearly much more vigorous than the control group. We grow large plants in large containers of coco coir that are topped and trained to grow very wide. Our typical vegetative cycle is roughly 6 weeks. The biowave mini group reached our desired size in only 34 days while the control went 43.

Biowave Mini and Blooming: Total Success!

In addition to a shorter veg period, the Biowave Mini group also had significantly more lateral branching and much tighter inter-nodal spacing. By day 60 it was evident from a quick glance that the Biowave Mini machine was working. While the control group was just starting to set bloom , the Biowave Mini room had already grown serious bud mass. The Biowave Mini room also produced a noticeably denser canopy, possibly due to the increased growth during the transitional period between growth and bloom. As a side note, I would advise other growers to induce bloom with more space between plant sites than usual.

The Biowave Mini Group Totally Outperformed the Control Group

By day 97 the Biowave Mini plants were fully ripe and harvested. I remember being absolutely astonished at the girth of the stalks. It was unlike anything i had ever seen on a plant grown indoors. The control group was left to bloom for the usual 70 days and harvested at day 113. While our study became somewhat unscientific at this point, the Biowave Mini flowers were visibly larger, denser and heavier compared to those of the control group. Unfortunately we did not have a refractometer to measure brix levels, but there was clearly a pronounced difference in oil production between the two crops. Most importantly we had a noticeable difference in yield when using the biowave mini; I’d say around 20%.

Biowave Mini and Mites:

The waves produced by the Biowave Mini have been reported to prevent mites. I can say this is true! I did not see any mites at all for the first time in two years. I did however notice an increase in lady bugs. When I brought in a leaf with mites on it, the mites started to freak out when it was put in proximity to the Biowave Mini. The waves emitted definitely have an adverse affect on mites which is a good thing!

Conclusion: The Biowave Mini is a Must for any Indoor Garden

All in all, after using the Biowave Mini and seeing the results first hand, I have to say I am very pleased. I would adamantly suggest the Biowave Mini to anyone who is serious about controlling every aspect of their garden with the newest tech on the market. For those growing on a commercial level, the Biowave Mini should be a no brainer. Because of the shorter harvest intervals, and increase in weight per harvest, we improved our efficiency by roughly 35%. It’s effective for smaller grows but you truly see the results and benefits when your using a setup of multiple lights. You really want to maximize the fact that it covers 500 square feet. If you’re utilizing 500 square feet, you will be happy you have the Biowave Mini in your setup.

Needless to say, we will be adding the biowave to all of our current and future grows. The Biowave Mini covers 500 square feet and for $1,000, you can recoup your costs pretty quickly so this is something we’ll keep in our room.

Nutrient Notes: Vegamatrix by Kyle Kushman

Written by Web Hydroponics on June 18, 2015. Posted in Blog.

Kyle Kushman, famous cultivator and writer, has developed a veganic nutrient like no other in Vegamatrix. In this blog post, we’re going to explore what it’s all about.

What is Veganics?

Veganics is a natural way to grow plants without the use of any animal products. As we continue to pollute our Earth, the animals we grow for profit are becoming contaminated with antibiotics, hormones and pesticides (do you know what’s in the poop you’re using to grow your plants?). Not to mention, there is also the frequent threat of our food supply by cross contamination of dangerous pathogens like e-coli and salmonella. Veganic cultivation is 100% safe and non-toxic for all living things.

What’s in Vegamatrix?

Vegamatrix is 95% natural and organic. So what’s in the other 5%? 2% is synthetic and 3% is mined minerals. The synthetics are simply Potassium Hydroxide as a solubilizing agent for kelp, some minerals and vitamins B1 and PP, all of which qualify for organic food production. That extra 5% is needed to make the products work well and preserve shelf life. On the label it says the product is 95% natural and organic. Even though Vegmatrix is listed as OMRI approved, they’re not hiding behind an OMRI listing and disguising what is actually in their products unlike some other well-known nutrient lines.

What is Vegamatrix derived from?

Vegamatrix is derived from NON GMO soy and grain solubles which are fermented and homogenized. Plant extracts, rock phosphate, kelps, humic and fulvic acid complexes, essential aminos, macro-nutrients and vitamins complete the formula.

How did Vegamatrix get its start?

Kyle Kushman’s team worked for 4 years to create a Veganic nutrient line that is easy-to-use and suitable for growers of any skill level. It’s virtually non- burning and formulated so you can feed with every watering thus eliminating the guesswork to feed or not.

So what’s in the line?

The base nutrients are a 3 part system – grow, bloom and boost (cal mag). The additives are Prime Zyme Enzymatic Complex which gives you your enzymes, helps keeps roots clean and catalyzes all your unused nutrients. Amp-It is their micronutrient supplement and Hard N Quick is their foliar spray. Hard N Quick contains the only EPA approved PGR. This natural PGR is derived from 2 types of kelp. It is made up of the best parts of the cytokinin and auxin action you get from kelp. It is a clear, odorless spray with an indefinite shelf life.

Web Hydroponics Verdict?

Vegamatrix is the real deal and the price is right for the results we’ve seen. Do a search on YouTube for Kyle Kushman or Vegamatrix (the YouTube pages are linked here) and see for yourself. It’s easy to use and produces a very clean end product. When growing in coco, it’s like a plant growing a plant in a plant medium! You can’t get any cleaner than that! This line was voted the best new nutrient line by High Times in 2014 and is now tied to 20 CC wins. It’s a very effective product and Kyle Kushman knows what he’s doing with all the experience and expertise he has. If you want to grow top quality flowering plants, you should give Vegamatrix a try.

Grozone Control: Climate Controllers and Cycle Timers for Indoor Gardening

Written by Web Hydroponics on June 10, 2015. Posted in Blog.

Good intentions and doing the right thing are often two very different approaches. This difference is most obvious in the arena of climate controllers and cycle timers for indoor gardening. With technology, we have the ability and the responsibility to control every element of a grow room to care for our plants. (Elements include: temperature, humidity, CO2, oxygen, water, pH, plant nutrient strength, ventilation, light and pests). In managing all the elements of a hydroponic indoor garden, one fact stands out as an undeniable and unforgiving truth: “a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.” This means that any weakness or oversight in your grow room will have a significant impact on your plant health and crop yield – regardless of outstanding management of all other elements.

Cheap Cycle Timers and Climate Controllers can have Expensive Consequences in your Garden

With climate controllers for indoor gardening, good intentions means setting up a complete grow room and implementing strategies to manage most every variable properly. The problem with these good intentions is that, most often, the one variable that is overlooked or is the one that cripples your garden. Good intentions means buying a cheap cycle timer that fails after a couple feed cycles. Good intentions also means cooking your plants by buying an unreliable high-temp shut-off controller to manage your lights. Good intentions and cheap CO2 controllers can lead to burning rooms and exploding CO2 burners.

Grozone Control has the Lowest Return Rate for Climate Controllers in Indoor Gardening

In hydroponics and indoor gardening the margin for error is close to zero. Good intentions may help you sleep at night, but only diligent management and reliable climate controllers and cycle timers will ensure healthy plants and consistent harvests. With this reliability ethic in mind, the team of engineers at Grozone Control in Quebec, Canada set out to design an entire line of climate controllers and cycle timers that – above all – manage temperature, humidity, CO2, lights, and plant feeding and watering with the lowest failure rate in the industry.

Grozone Control was inspired by shortcomings from CAP, Growing Innovations and Titan

Inspired mostly by a shortage of options in reliable hydroponic cycle timers and climate controllers, the team at Grozone Control set out to do what C.A.P. (R&M), Growing Innovations, Plug-N-Grow, Sentinel and Titan (Sunlight Supply) had failed to do. They know that garden health and crop yield are directly related to successful management of all the elements of your indoor garden. Plants can’t tell if everything set-up right or if you are using the best equipment. But, they will quickly let you know when something is wrong or if you’re unreliable equipment fails.

If you are a serious grower, you must not work with any controller that offers anything less than the absolute confidence to walk away from your valuable garden. Grozone Controllers were designed to follow this creed and give you a fully-functional, climate-controlled grow area with CO2, ventilation, temperature, humidity, automated watering, feeding and lights.

SunBlaster Nanodome for Plant Propagation

Written by Web Hydroponics on June 5, 2015. Posted in Blog.

What is the SunBlaster Nanodome? How can this help you increase your efficiency with Plant Propagation?

The Nanodome…It sounds like something out of the new Mad Max movie or the name of a new sports stadium. For all of us in hydroponics, the obvious answer is: a vented plant propagation dome that incorporates SunBlaster T5HO plant lighting and SunBlaster Nanotech reflective technology. OK, maybe not so obvious. In a nutshell, the entire indoor gardening community should be completely outraged by the fact that this simple and inexpensive plant propagation and plant cloning solution was not invented twenty years ago.

The SunBlaster Nanodome is an Innovative Plant Propagation Dome for Indoor Gardening Enthusiasts

Seriously folks, this plant propagation dome is so obvious that I am only sorry I did not think of it myself. From across the room it looks like any other 10 x 20 vented dome, but at a closer glance, this indoor gardening solution is genius. It is truly clever in the sense that it saves us from having to customize our propagation or plant cloning space with special shelving or suspension racks to support over-hanging T5 fluorescent plant lighting.

The SunBlaster Nanodome is a Versatile Vented Dome with T5 Fluorescent Plant Lighting

The way it works, the SunBlaster Nanodome is a standard 20 x 10 propagation dome with vertical and horizontal grooves or light tracks along the top. These light tracks are perfectly customized to accommodate the Sun Blaster T5HO lights with compatible Nanotech reflectors to sit perfectly along the top of the dome. A specially designed 18” inch T5HO plant light with Nanotech reflector was created to sit clear across a single Nanodome. Two additional light tracks cut across the width of the Nanodome to provide an interesting possibility for growers who prefer to line up two, three, or four Nanodomes under a pair of 2 foot, 3 foot, or 4 foot Sun Blaster T5HO plant lights with compatible nanotech reflectors.

Cloning and Seedling Solution with the Sun Blaster Nanodome and Sun Blaster T5HO Fluorescent Plant Lighting

The proximity of the T5 plant lighting to the vented dome combined with Nanotech reflective technology means maximum intensity of lumens focused directly on your plants; with minimal loss of precious, life-giving T5 plant light. All of this with no concern for excess heat because the specialized Sun Blaster T5 Fluorescent plant lights operate at 6400 Kelvin. This subtle light/temperature variance allows for maximum light penetration with minimal temperature and, as such, Sun Blaster lighting can rest on top of the ventilated dome without any concern for melting, burning or overheating. The lighting provides just enough heat to keep your seedlings and clones at just the right temperature. The built in vents provide for optional variable humidity and temperature exhaust.

Use the SunBlaster Nanodome for your Micro-Greens

The SunBlaster Nanodome is a truly versatile plant cloning and propagation solution that is perfect for beginners who want to use a single Nanodome to grow micro-greens in their kitchen or for serious commercial hydroponic garden operators who need to set up multiple plant propagation domes for their seedlings and young plants. The quality of light and simplicity of design and operation are unbeatable.

Nutri-Plus: Produce Maximum Yields with a Supercharged Fertilizer and Bloom Enhancer for Hydroponic Gardening

Written by Web Hydroponics on May 26, 2015. Posted in Blog.

Nutri-Plus: Produce Maximum Yields with a Supercharged Fertilizer and Bloom Enhancer for Hydroponic Gardening

Hydroponic gardening is advancing with new techniques and products to improve plant health, growth, and flowering. When looking to create a maximum harvest from your hydroponic plants, it is important to use a fertilizer program that will suit the types of plants that are grown. This program can help to increase flowering, resulting in an increase in plant production and overall profit.

Nutri-Plus Bloom Enhancers Increase Flowering Sites per Stem on Your Hydroponic Plants

Scientists recommend a balanced fertilizer program like Nutri-Plus with rich bloom enhancers (Blossom Plus, Bud Plus and Final Drive) consisting of an abundance of potassium phosphate, potassium carbonate, potassium sulfate, and co-factors to trigger a better flowering response per stem on hydroponic plants. Blossom Plus, Bud Plus and Final Drive are recommended for use in early bloom, mid-bloom and in the final weeks of bloom to achieve an extraordinary harvest. Depending on the hydroponic system and the crop, your indoor garden could deliver an increase of up to 70% or more.

Promote Vigorous Flowering with Nutri-Plus Bud Plus

Nuti-Plus Bud Plus is a specially formulated mid-bloom plant stimulant that is designed to help increase and promote flowering in indoor gardening. This formulated bud stimulator combines the power of three types of potassium and a special blend of bloom-enhancing micro-nutrients which have been found to increase the number and size of flower sites per stem, giving you huge hydroponic harvests. This powerful fertilizer additive, triggers rapid flowering and shorter bloom cycles, resulting in a maximum number of harvests over a single year.

Nutri-Plus: Maximize Flower Production by Creating Reserves in Your Hydroponic Plants

Hydroponic garden plants, and most conventionally grown plants for that matter, are able to store potassium and phosphorus in their tissues and flowers. Their root systems are also able to store extra cytokinin plant hormones which help to boost floral production during the blooming cycle. This additional storing power allows your plants to have extra reserves to draw upon when needed to maximize the amount of floral structures and oil production.

When Nutri-Plus Bud Plus is used in a hydroponic fertilizer program, it is able to create additional reserves of phosphorus and potassium to feed the production of essential oils and compounds when buds are ripening and swelling; causing increased results and a maximum harvest in a short time frame. To further profit from your crops, bloom phase-specific products such as Blossom Plus Powder, Blossom Plus Liquid and Final Drive can be used along with Nutri-Plus Bud Plus to enhance the growing and flowing.

Trimpro Unplugged Flower Trimmer – The Industry Standard

Written by Web Hydroponics on May 14, 2015. Posted in Blog.

Keeping with our plant trimming/harvesting theme as that moment in most of grow cycles is quickly approaching, we wanted to highlight our favorite manual flower trimmer, The Trimpro Unplugged.

The word Trimpro has always been synonymous with quality and excellence in electric flower trimming equipment for the hydroponic market place. Trimpro brought us the classic Trimbox and Trimpro Original for growers who like full manual control in trimming their harvest with an electric flower trimmer. Trimpro also delivered the high-powered Trimpro Automatik with its ground-breaking 3-phase motor, 4-part tempered steel blade and a built in speed controller (dimmer). For commercial growers with monster-size harvests and substantial spending power, Trimpro produced the XL. Their latest creation masterpiece, The Trimpro Unplugged emphatically delivers an effective, efficient, solid, sturdy and esthetically beautiful hand-crank flower trimmer that is sure to become an instant favorite.

Benefits of using a Trimpro Electric Flower Trimmer on your Garden

It is widely understood that a reliable electric flower trimmer can dramatically cut down time required to effectively trim your crops. With a reliable electric trimmer, one person can prepare an entire harvest in less time and with equal precision to what use to be a full weekend of work with a small army of friends equipped with trimming scissors. By eliminating the need for extra pairs of hands (and all the personalities and dramas involved) a reliable trimmer can also minimize costs and risks. As an added bonus, trimming with high quality equipment, like the Trimpro Automatik, maximum safety is ensured along with high trimming precision.

Benefits of Trimming your Hydroponic Harvest with the Trimpro Unplugged Flower Trimmer

The Trimpro Unplugged does not have the processing power of its electric counterparts, but it is a HUGE step up from trimming with scissors. The big advantage is the fact that it does not rely on electricity or any other form of external power. This means that smaller harvests can be handled in a very effective and efficient manner with a few turns of a crank. With the Trimpro Unplugged, harvests can be trimmed in even the most remote locations- far from the electrical grid.

The Trimpro Unplugged Flower Trimmer is the Most Silent Flower Trimmer in the Line

Another great feature is the fact that the Trimpro Unplugged is the most silent trimmer available in the line. This means that the new Unplugged is equally useful in a remote wilderness location or sitting in-front of the TV in your living room. Similar to the Rotor, this trimmer works with a system of leather fingers that gently move flowers across the powder-coated grill, a fraction of an inch above the spinning razor-sharp, tempered-steel blade below. The speed of the blade is controlled by your preference and determination. The end-results are just what you would expect from the good folks at Trimpro!
