Game changer. What took 30-45 per tub is now 5 minutes!


This is the oster model. It has a nice case and turkey scissors that come with it

wha da fuk!?!? 30-45 minutes... seriously!?!? I used mine for the 1st time this week and Im not too impressed. its really fun to use but I give it an overall C rating. I can cut just as fast and waaay cleaner with scissors but that is just me and I dont have arthritis yet soo
that tub looks thiiick, eat!
soo... maybe its my technique. I tried to get half the tub in one go and finish with the other but I dont see myself being faster than with snips. that being said I did like using it. Its fun

perhaps its in the technique? are you grabbing a handful before you cut? you wanna cut what you're holding. if you just cut a bunch of shrooms then pick up the pieces, its not so slick.

Well ive used very sharp knives as well but it takes me forever with these clippers i have now. But it was no faster with a razor sharp knife. The wg is dense as fuck. I seriously harvested 6-8 oz in 5 minutes! Im using the oster brand though. It does have a double blade.

good deal! perhaps there is a little learning curve to the technique. I def went thru a few tubs before I got the process down. first go round, I knelt down at eye level and tried just cutting it all the way across in one motion. didn't work very well.

I take the sub out put it on the lid then put the lid back on the tub so its about chest height. I had a few tubs woth flimsy fruits and it didnt work as nicely on those as it did with the nice thick stemmed fruits.

That seems like a fucking horrible idea. Too rough. Smashy smashy. Like rubbing one out with a cheese grater.

Ive seen that used with popino and it worked well. Heard not so well with cubes because the surface isnt as even.

Ok so ive been in between crops so im just getting warmed back up. But my 2nd go at the knife took much longer than the first. 20-25 minutes. It still saved me time. I do have to trim up some of the fruit if i cut too deep on the sub by accident.(learning curve). As far as spot harvesting that is easy with a knife. But almost 8 ounces under 30 minutes. 
Im interested to see if Apeu will be a total pita with the knife. They kinda grow sidewaYs. Those are the most time consuming for me to harvest so im going to try as i have some pinning now. Hopefully it works out because id love to save time on apeu. I might run more if that is the case.


Im still liking this.

Well holy shit, the electric knife harvester is magical. Generally this variety is so dense it takes me 45 mins to an hour per tub to harvest. It took me 15-20 with electric knife. Still let about 1/4 of the pins mature. Will harvest am. This variety was the ultimate test for the electric knife and it came through with gold!

I find the denser the canopy and the thicker the stems, the better the electric knife method works.

It was easier because i can literally grab a handful and cut 6-10 inches of fruits in one mass lol
