Cannabis Plant Trimmer Certification
This certification breaks down everything that you need to know when starting to trim cannabis for the very first time. Discover how cannabis trimmers are one of the most coveted entry-level jobs in the industry and “unsung heros” in licensed cultivation operations. If you’re looking to get started in the cannabis industry, even without any direct experience, you can land this position. Trimmers may also be tasked with preparing products which include weighing the product, packaging in child-proof containers, properly labeling it, etc. all while being 100% compliant.
A professional trimmer is the final “seal of approval” when trimming any cannabis plants to ensure a successful end-product that has an amazing presentation while maintaining the quality of the trichomes. Every cannabis trimmer is essential for the entire harvesting process since it is better to trim all cannabis flower buds by hand than ever using machines. If you want to break into the cannabis cultivation space, you can start as an entry-level cannabis trimmer and work your way up to a “Master Cannabis Grower” or even start your own on-demand trimming business.
During the harvest season, the cannabis trimmer carries out all the next “essential steps” of pruning the cannabis flower buds and colas. As a professionally certified trimmer, your responsibility is to get the flower buds ready to be shipped and sold in cannabis retail dispensaries. Trimmed flower buds must meet your brand’s very specific guidelines, including no shaving, crow’s feet, or visible stems. Learn how you can trim about 1 – 2 pounds of raw flowers in a daily shift along with various trimming techniques used, but the main ones are wet trimming and dry trimming.
Learn how during the trimming process, the cannabis flower buds go through a manicuring process in which they are separated from the excess foliage. Also, the cannabis trimmer is also expected to prune the marijuana leaves, if it’s necessary, throughout the cultivation process, so they can be more exposed to light. Discover how professional trimmers will need Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and wear disposable gloves to prevent layers of kief, the resinous trichomes are mainly found on the flower, from building up on fingers making it impossible for trimming.
Professional trimmers set many standards that are expected at any high-quality retail dispensary and they gain much of their cultivation experience on the job so this professional certification will get anyone started in this fast-growing industry.
