RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Winner of contest by a mile is THC Biomed over supremeWell it’s settled then, we all know BioMed isn’t growing a million kg’s/yr ..not with the approximate 30,000sq ft of space anyway (by my count only) but they are growing as much as this space will allow of the finest buds most people can get their hands on, especially for the price.
Also, as far as I can tell..BioMed is only claiming the Landrice strains to be hand trimmed.

Why I said you know less than you are letting on, is because I have seen, FIRST HAND, machine trimmers being used on the highest quality strains. You dont have to believe me, but it happens, I promise you that. Do you think high quality strains only came into existence when the term "craft grower" started getting thrown around? Mass produced is mass produced, whether the label says Crystal or Baby Duck. And believe that our legalized product is being mass produced regardless of who is doing the growing. I didnt suggest that every craft grower uses machine trim, but craft growing, by definition, precludes mass production. All I'm saying is that anyone who thinks that companies growing a million kg per annum are hand trimming, have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

All I’m saying is I’ve seen lots, any real grower who grows quality bud will not even consider using machines. Machines are left for the guys growing in bulk pushing the overpriced shwag on the streets in the days prior to legalization. It’s seeming nothing has changed really in this respect IMO

How much machine trimming have you done? The technology has come along way in the last 15-20 years...its not as violent as it used to be and there are a number of different machine trimmers now. Besides, Do you truly believe that some monkey getting paid minimum wage, manhandling your product, with latex gloves on, is doing any less damage to your crystal and trichomes? It's not as if black market growers and innovators didnt consider that. A properly dialed in machine trimmer is capable of producing buds that will rival that of the best hand trimmers. Producing consistency, no harmful respiratory environments for staff or WorkSafeBC(WCB) claims for injury due to repetitive movements, a machine doesnt get tired and need breaks, and leaves your shake less disturbed for by-product extraction..which THC will be in the market for. I spent almost an entire 2 decades in a commercial black market setting, and am willing to go toe-to-toe with anyone on this board(or any board) with my knowledge. By the end of my career when I was no longer personally growing, I was setting up ops for some of the biggest grows in the valley that, by all accounts, were/are larger than THCs current operations. That is, of course, assuming we know THCs current capacity...
