Bud Trimmers

Automatic bud trimming machines automate the labor-intensive process of trimming cannabis flowers. They save time and money, generally paying for themselves within a few days in saved labor costs.

The two main types are wet bud trimmers and dry trimmers. Wet trimmers trim fresh (wet)  flowers, while dry trimmers process dried material. Which is better depends very much on your particular situation.

This article goes into much more detail on wet vs. dry trimming. And if you are unsure which bud trimming machine is right for you, we also have a comparison table of all automatic trimmers and a detailed buyer's guide that walks you through the decision and helps you find the perfect trimmer for your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bud trimmer used for?

A bud trimmer removes excess leaves (fan and sugar leaves) from harvested buds to enhance appearance, improve smoke quality, and reduce moisture that can lead to mold, thereby improving visual appeal, terpene expression, and overall quality. Mechanical trimmers (wet or dry) automate this process for greater efficiency and consistency, and may preserve trichomes better with techniques like cold or bladeless tumblers.

What is the best way to trim buds?

The cleanest way is dry trimming: hang your buds to dry until stems snap, then snip off fan leaves and carefully manicure the sugar leaves with sharp scissors or electric trimmers, keeping everything tidy with trays and gloves. This slower method preserves flavor and terpenes, giving you that smooth smoke.

How do I choose the right bud trimmer for me?

Start by matching the trimmer to your operation’s scale and workflow preferences: small growers often do best with manual tools like spring-loaded bonsai or pruning scissors for precision and cost-effectiveness, while mid-to-large operations benefit from automated wet or dry tumblers (e.g. CenturionPro, Triminator) that boost throughput and consistency. Consider your wet vs. dry trimming method (dry preserves terpenes, wet is faster), your product goals (premium flower vs pre-rolls/extracts), available labor, budget, and facility layout—all critical factors in selecting a trimmer.
