Reddit reviews Chikamasa B-500sf Stainless Steel Scissors w/Fluorine Coating (Resin-resistant) (One Pack)

These are my shears of choice, real comfy. I don't like the spring loaded ones as much. You can't watch TV really, gotta focus on the bud. Invite a friend over, listen to some tunes, smoke the dank and talk to each other, like humans used to do.

I'm a pretty simple man, it's nothing complicated.

I have a pair of hand shears like for trimming roses and such. Nice thick blade to cut through the branches.

Also, three 5 gallon buckets to wash the buds in. First bucket is warm water with a couple cups of lemon juice. Second is cold water with a couple bottles of peroxide. The third is just plain room temp water.

To dry, I use a metal clothing rack I got on amazon.

For trimming I use a trim bin and japanese bonsai pruning scissors. Chikamasa B-500sf Stainless Steel Scissors w/ Fluorine Coating (Resin-resistant) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JSYB9I6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_4--QDbP29WMY0

For curing, lots of glass quart sized jars.

So, I cut a branch or two, the largest buds first, at a size that will allow them to fit in the bucket. I dunk and swish them in each bucket in the order I listed above. Allow to drip for a min, and then hang them on wire hangers on the clothing rack to dry with a towel under them to soak up dripping water.

After a few days to a week, when they are sufficiently dry and I can snap the small stems and the leaves are crunchy, I start trimming them in the trim bin and put the buds in jars as I trim. I start trimming the smaller buds first as they are the most dry.Each jar holds between 28 and 35 grams depending on the bud size and density. Open the jars for a min every week or so for a month or so. It cures as I smoke it, but it's prime is around 2 months of cure, I think.

I hope that helps some folks. Let me know if you have more specific questions.

I have used Fiskars for years, on the bigger end of micro-sized growing. I recently bought these Chikamasa bonsai scissors and am very impressed. I didn't like them at first but after trying them for a few branches, then back to Fiskars, I prefered the Chikamasas as they are much less tiring to use long term.

Someone posted these ones on another thread. The first amazon review is from someone who uses them for weed, so I guess they'll be good.
