I use mine after drying. I love it.
I been thinking about getting one, man I really really hate the trimming part. It was fun and adventurous the first grow. Not so much after that. Everyone wanted to help the first time (wife and daughter), they run for the hills now.

Here is how I do my harvest. If it is normal RH outdoors I cut the large branches and hang them individually, if dry outside I hang the whole plant. Then after 2, 3, or 4 days I cut all of the leaves with stems off and put the colas on long stems in brown bags to "sweat" for a day or two. When the moisure meter reads 11% -12% I cut the buds off the stems onto the trimming machine. Load about 3 - 4 ounces put the lid on turn the handle a few times in one direction then a few in the other done. I have one shim on the serrated blade your MMV.
Very nice process. Do you have the 16 or 19 inch? I'm thinking I only need the 16", with 2 to 4 plants.
I'm on my first grow ever and opted to try different trimming methods. This is my wet trimming with bowl method. I'll be using grove bags, and they've been drying 72 hours. Wet trimming with the bowl was an absolute breeze, and as long as once the grass smell goes away after the cure I'll be happy. I also have one cut and hanging, for a full plant dry, bowl trim while dry method. Trying to find what works best for me.

Bad finger I have the 19" and honestly just go bigger so you can get it done quicker lol I trimmed 2 full plants and chopped one to dry full in about an hour and a half, and I was screwing around a bit while doing it lol
Dang, thats a serious time saver.
That's just 1 smaller plant. I've never done this before, but I'm fairly good at gardening. I've grown reaper peppers, ghosts, etc so I'm familiar with plants that need alot of love. These are Runtz XL autos from Sweet Seeds and they were super easy to grow
