Your Crystals Are Safer
CannaBrush is designed for the trimming and cleaning process. Brushing is an ergonomic motion and puts nominal stress on your hands, wrists, and eyes. With proper technique brushing feels natural. Brushing all the buds on a stalk at the same time is surprisingly efficient. With experience the volume you can trim brushing is impressive. The trichomes on your buds burst when touched due to pressure and stickiness. Brush trimming with silicone paddles is gentler on the plant. The shape and stiffness of the silicone paddles provides the right amount of pressure to trim the stems and leaves off of most strains. As we know, resin is incredibly sticky. Scissors and gloves gunk up quickly while silicone is resistant to stickiness preventing resin build-up. Brushes require much less cleaning than scissors. Eventually some quick cleaning will spiff up your paddles. Freeze the brush and gently knock off resin tips.
You suspected the paddle to make crystals skedaddle. Turns out silicone is naturally resin resistant. Although any contact will disrupt your trichomes, the brushing technique displaces fewer crystals than typical speed scissor trimming. When you brush, you hold the stalk, limiting handling. When trimming with scissors at a typical pace, buds get handled more heavily resulting in finger hash.
Scissor Trimming is Intense
There's a night and day difference between the flowy practice of brushing and the concentration and precision required to trim purely with scissors. Brushing is easy on your eyes, hands, and brain. Trim a shift with each and compare end-of-day energy levels.
Less Finger Hash
When brushing, most unwanted material is removed while holding the stalk, limiting contact with nuggets. When using scissors exclusively you have to handle each bud separately resulting in heavy resin build up on your gloves which are then thrown away. Through the process of cut > rotate > grab > repeat, a good deal of sap is released creating highly sticky conditions.
Intended Use
If you love trimming, and you want the best possible results, surgically trimming with scissors is going to be your best bet. Cultivators must make the choice between machine and hand trimming. Machine trimming has high upfront costs, decreased quality, but is fast. Traditional hand trimming can preserve quality if done carefully, but is the slowest method and comes at a premium cost. Using the brushing system, especially the assembly line method, preserves quality, improves speed, lowers costs, and is overall just more enjoyable.
Basting Brush?
Don't bring flop to your crop. Before designing CannaBrush we tried every silicone brush we could get our hands on. Most are unusable. A few of them kinda work but are still too flaccid for comfort. The bristles are too thin and long. The answer? Stubby paddles and a curved handle. Brushes last a long time. Brush like a boss for a bit higher cost.
Glorious Paddles
Unlike tubular bristles which are inexpensive to manufacture, paddles are produced through a molding process. The paddles are wide which increases surface area and makes them grabby.
CannaBrush has been carefully weighted to balance in your hand for extended hours of use. The counterweight helps facilitate upwards and downwards motions.
