I don’t know if this has a name, or if it’s a common thing or not.
I started this last year, when I had tons of seeded bud, that I didn’t really need for smoke… but just wanted the seeds. I planned on throwing out the chaff afterwards…
Put the bud on a screen (metal door screen leftover) and press down and move it around.
Breaks up all the plant material, and a lot falls through the screen so you can pick seeds out easier.
But the stuff that falls out is fine plant material and loaded with kief. Sure, I could run it through proper hash screens to make dry sift… but why bother?
Thanks for posting this @firehead I have been trying to find a more efficient way to separate seeds from buds when I am mostly interested in the seeds. Hand breaking up and sorting is SLOW, STICKY, and hand cramp-inducing work…
