Whats Your Favourite Way To Collect Kif?

Hmm, maybe just duct tape one of the old lady's vibrators to the sift screen. LMAO

You will need quite a bit more vibration than that. Haha.

Thats a cool setup.

Some more pictures, including an acoustical seat shaker to use sound from a stereo for vibration, an ultrasonic transducer, and some detail pictures of the pictured Grinning Reaper

Very innovative greywolf. I love it.

Dry ice and a 120 micron bubble bag.

Im gonna go this route this time I think. I did the typical bubble hash last time and tbh it's way more of a mess than I want to deal with.

Also, call me weird, but these work great as well. Probably even better than a sander.

And when you're not using it your old lady can borrow it.

That ought to roll mommas eyes back in her head,lol.

My latest auto trimmer collects kief like a mad man: "Tom's Tumble Trimmer"!

I bet it does. Does it leave anything on the buds for the smokers?
Lol

Right
If you think so.

So it "collect kief like a mad man", but 99% stays on the bud. Must be some frosty stuff

So I recently purchased some silk screen mesh. Three various sizes and I have frames to stretch it on. Sifting through three screens necessary? I understand the glands to plant material ratio and finer sifting is better. Should I
A)Sift thru one screen at a time.
B)Stack the screens in appropriate order and allow the finest of material just fall thru with shaking/vibration.
C)Just use one screen.
D)All of the above.
E)None of the above.

Either. Yield is about 50% before it starts to green.

I miss communicated. I was wondering what everybody does with the bulk bud/trim material once it's processed. You now have keif and material that has less but probably a few glands on it. Decarb and make butter? Anybody make tea?

Once I've got all the good stuff out with my TTT, I throw the rest into compost.

The left over material is completely void of glands? Nada?

Pretty amazing eh?

Some may even say unbelievable

Not completely void but more than likely not worth alot of people's trouble,if it still looks fairly frosty I would try to decarb it and make some butter or rso or something.

So if 99% stays on after you tumble it or whatever then you compost it that sounds pretty darn wasteful to me?? Lol

I use an 80 steel mesh screen, it lets a bit of colour through, but other than that, the hash come out golden.

I'll probably just use one screen at a time to get different grades of sift if necessary. I may stack em to see what happens. Now to find an old sander in the garage. I'm planning to do a bunch this weekend. Get back with the results.

Harbor freight has a cheap palm sander about 20.00

I'd use new vs new with who know what particles that may contaminate your kief.

Graywolf at SPR (I dont type their name out any longer) made a keif box with a palm sander

I used a old coffee can. Cut the center out of the plastic lid. Almost completely to the outer edge. Left enough of the lid to snap back on and seal the can. I cut up a handful of dried out bud and placed it in the can. I stretched a piece of 110 silk mesh across the opening and secured it with the ring I just cut. Snapped in place perfectly and kept the mesh taunt. Turned upside down and shook it over a piece of glass. Did well for a first experiment. Lol.
