If trimming is the most time-consuming task in cannabis processing, then bucking or de-stemming buds come in at a close second.
While cutting off buds from stems might seem like a straightforward task, you do not want to miss out on every bud attached to the stems. Also, going through hundreds of pounds of different stems isn’t fun and can compromise the quality of your buds with too much handling.
That is why investing in an automated bucker is a wise decision any grower should make to improve outputs significantly. You want your products to reach the dispensaries as soon as possible, and that is why you ought to act fast, so your investments come back the soonest.
So, which bucker should you get?

As the name speaks for itself, Gentle Cut buckers choose quality over quantity. While they can do high-yields, it is not at par with the outputs of industrial-sized machines.
What it lacks in outputs, Gentle Cut buckers make up for the quality of de-stemming. Gentle Cut buckers are often compared to removing stems by hand with a pair of small pruning shears to cut each bud from the stem. They handle the buds gently, to preserve the flavor while protecting delicate buds from mishandling.
If you process cannabis by the hundreds each day, a high-performance bucker is the answer to your question on efficiency. These buckers were designed to handle buds by the hundreds each hour. They rely on rollers and high-power motors to process buds easily. While these machines focus on power over finesse, High-Performance Buckers can handle buds gently, albeit, not as careful as Gentle Cut buckers.
