I don’t have much trim at the time, only a whip cream container full.
I’m wondering how I can separate the trichomes from the plant matter. Preferably something I can use from around the house if possible. I know you can grind it but my grinder has no screen on it to catch it.
Over making edibles I figured dad would like kief better since it’s stronger. Unless I’m incorrect I’ve never smoked kief myself?

I just had a really good high idea. Would it remove them if i put say some quarters or something in the container and shook it?

i realize you said you don’t have much trim so i don’t know if you’d want to invest in bubble bags to make bubble hash?

Bubble hash or dry sieve

I’m a bbblehash man but I don’t you have enough for a full run.
Edibles are a much stronger experience than kief. But kief is very nice.
Dry sieve is easy but you’ll likely need to buy micron screen. You can get it at art supply for silk screen.
Best of luck.

Dry Sieve is easy and tastes great to me.
You have… Just with a LOT of plant material added.
Depends, but more likely to break up buds. Working with trichomes you want LOW temperatures, putting buds, quarters into a coffee can and shaking will make sticky quarters and smashed buds. That sticky is the trichomes bursting. Frozen material works better, but it warms fast.
I’d save it up till you have enough to either do bubble hash, or dry ice hash runs.
Bubble hash is easy to make you don’t have to spend a lot of money to do it if you get a 2@5 gallon bucket, 5 gallon paint strainer bag from the local paint store or big box store, either an electric drill with a mixing attachment or a wooden spoon with a long handle ,a bunch of ice
Use really cold water and some ice in the bucket mix your plant matter in use your electric drill or a paddle by hand roughly 15 minutes for two sessions pour everything through the 5 gallon paint strainer into a clean bucket .the newly strained water settle for about 20 minutes on the bottom of that bucket you should find your hash strain the water off carefully remove hash let it dry and there you are
Hash on the cheap
Or freezer tincture
You need Everclear alcohol, mason jar thats it. Freeze alcohol and weed clippings separately for about 24 hours add weed clippings to the Everclear in a mason jar enough to cover shake vigorously three minutes strain of all the material into a clean mason jar using coffee filter put the mason jar with the alcohol back in the freezer for about a week afterwards restrain and you have Tincture

I thought whip cream only came in cans, or cartons in it’s primordial un-whipped state.
I was always a fan of using a blender. The large surface area of the jar catches lots of kief which can be easily scraped out.
Here’s the traditional way …

Thanks, all the credit goes to @PSam. That thread is but a fraction of what can be found in his tincture thread on grasscity.

@PhilCuisine that’s looks soooo good! About how much was needed to get a puck (is that what it’s called?) that big? Was that only from trim?
I’m going to look into getting a screen. Maybe I’ll try bubble hash after I harvest my outside plants, gunna end up with a lot of trim. The little amount I have will probably be a good learning experience
I read pantyhose may work. Thoughts? Would it be a fine enough “screen”
(The bottom of bubble bags are screens too)
2 for 1
Just don’t shake too long or do it in a long line so you can make cuts.
I made it work, kinda! I used one of these bags stretched over a Altoids can. It’s far from pure but successful enough for me

I have about 6 ounces of trim I’ve had saved since I need to get a new sift screen. I made bubble hash once before that was awesome but it was a couple ounces of flower in it I’ve never made hash with just trim. I don’t really know usual return numbers well. I wasn’t sure if it would maybe hurt that I’ve had it just in a vac seal bag in a cabinet for 1-2 months. Do you think 6 ounces of trim like that is enough to be worth it?

It will make fine hash but next time just put it in the freezer
