ok so i may run into this issue as well with taking the stuff from the table after sifting and gonna see what i get,, though if i have sediment that i can’t remove than ill let it settle to the bottom and than i’ll pour it out slowly trying to not disturb the sediment or until the sediment is getting close to coming out,, than ill evaporate it off and see/test whats left,,

I saw a dude after dry sifting take a dvd box and one of those cooking papers wrapped it and played with the stuff static electricity sticks the trichomes to the box under microscope he had all heads nothing else. He was an old youtuber broke his neck made his medicine from canada had a whole garden full with plants in every corner and a big indoor

Your filtering woes can be solved inexpensively. Use a perforated glass Buchner Funnel and filter paper. I filter down to 0.45um no problem.

A cheap pump such as this one:


A funnel such as this. I use the perforated funnels rather than the fritted. I suggest a 500ml minimum.


Depending on batch size, pick the appropriately sized flask. I suggest a 2000ml minimum. But whatever works.


Depending on how low you want to filter down to, buy the appropriately sized filter paper (90mm for a 500ml funnel) and micron size (um). To filter below 1.0um, you will need membrane. I buy 0.45um membrane in a roll and cut out whatever sized filter I need. Ensure the filter paper is compatible with the solvent used.
I use the 1.5um filter paper in tandem with DE to remove plant particulate and winterize the solution at -20C.


After the initial filtering and winterization, I allow the solution to warm back up to room temp. Then I add carbon directly to the solution at a 5:1 ratio (5g carbon to every OZ of bud used). Filtering thru a 1.5um filter paper used with a 10mm cake of DE will remove the carbon.


This might seem like overkill for what you want to do. But if you want a clean and presentable concentrate...........that is how.

The ceramic Buchner Funnels are cheaper in cost, but I like the glass funnels. With the ceramic funnels, you must attach a hose to the stem of the funnel so it is discharging below the vacuum port. Otherwise you will suck the solution into the vacuum. The glass funnels prevent this.

Prior to distillation, I filter down to 1.5um. Then reduce the solution in rotovap until very concentrated. I do this in a 1000ml boiling flask.

Once I have the solution concentrated, I remove the 1000ml boiling flask from rotovap. I then filter the concentrated solution thru 0.45um membrane, into a 500ml or 250ml boiling flask. Then continue reducing until almost all solvent purged.

Let flask cool. Then transfer to a silicone tub and throw it inside vacuum oven for 12 hrs. If nice quality bud, the end product is consistently wax or crumble. Very tastey and potent.


Now to step it up a notch, use filter mediums such as DE and carbon. Amazing results.

That's very interesting, I'll be looking into that
