That’s really cool. I think the thought of performing maintenance during a large harvest can be a daunting drawback for growers considering making the investment in an automated trimmer.
Good to know your machines are virtually maintenance-free.

Hey Matt. I hear the reason people say weed in Canada is so much better than weed in California is because they use the Twister Trimmer. Is that true?

Hmm. I’d like to say yes (because I’m Canadian 
) but it really comes down to the grower. I can tell you that there are currently 113 LP’s in Canada & Twister is in 78 of them! I’m humbled and proud of our team showing these customers its a superior solution.

The people that said that probably never had some good desert-grown herb. Your AZ invitation awaits, my friends. I think @mdrust can back me up here…

I have a few friends down here in the Southwest who have Twisters in their facilities and they absolutely SWEAR by their efficacy and efficiency. They really do put out a great finished product IMO
78 out of 113 LPs? Those are impressive numbers! You have every right to be a proud Canadian!

Hey Matt,
Two questions
-
What do you prefer ? Wet or dry trim? Why?
-
Automated trimming is a big step forward and has many benefits. Where do you see the next step in post harvest automation taking place?

Hi Lucas!

That really depends. If I was a large scale greenhouse grower (1000’s of square feet) I would say wet. It’s the most efficient & timely (to avoid risk of rot). If I was an indoor smaller harvest, I’d prefer dry - you get that bit nicer of product.

Well there will be more advancements in bucking (hint hint) and then, of course, extraction technology.

Thanks for the incredibly insightful dialogue and answers. At the end of the day what’s important in regards to the trim is how it looks in the bag. I’ve heard that your commercial line of trimmers do such a great job trimming that most people can’t tell it’s not hand trimmed. True or bs?

Again, it comes down to the machine. Not all trimmers are the same. No different than a car (easy comparison). Some will be high performers, others will get you from A to B. But YES, with the correct setup and brand, you can achieve a hand trim look.
Please note- some times certain strains will never trim that great in an automated trim, no matter the brand or model. They just need to be hand trimmed.

Not all feedback will be positive on every product. Have you tried the Twister yet?

I agree and I understand the responsibility when you comment on a product. But we gave it a good try and I contacted company many times. No luck! That was the reason I though I should share my experience…
I have not tried Twister, but I just contacted Matt to get some more info.
