Have you looked much at the "static tek" to further clean the sift up once it dries out? Have not tried it, but it looks reasonably easy as a method to get an even purer end product. Not sure if it would be worth it, but most of what I have seen has been people using fresh and frozen to make a dry sift, then using static to pull the trich stalks out of the pile. However, the brown sugar consistency you mention sounds like what they are trying to wind up with so....

Next time at the movies when on a date or with wife, try the popcorn surprise. Hole in bottom, set in lap, extra butter, you get the idea...
fellow farmer local grow guy cranked out some real nice dry sift using dry ice. nice and blonde, quick and easy...Sky High AKA Scoop makes insane bubble that will bubble your brain....
Again so grateful to have the younger farmers step up and help this old, old, very old man with the trimming and in future hash making endeavors'
Our little corner of the world is a very special place and sharing it with others who feel the passion is not only good for them it is good for us as well.
Wife cannot believe how awesome the farmers are who have come to visit.
Younger folks who are smart, motivated, caring, willing to learn about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
If mnore of the younger generation were like them folks the world would be a better place.
Also my old smeller really cant smell the dankness like a younger beak..

Fresh batch of dry ice extract/live sift, trim and popcorn, strain is Magik. Nug run will be Magik(al). Yielded more than I figured. No idea on %yield from trim, mostly water weight. I'll never wait for bubble hash again when I can get this with a few pounds of dry ice. Mileage varies but I usually fill a mason

EDIT: Back in the day I started using dry material for this process and the only negative is a darker color or brownish depending on what the dry material looks like. If it's dust it won't get stopped by the filter and you get more brown than blonde but the terpenes and flavor profile still come through. Wet's best, dry is fine, dust works in a pinch. This would also be cleaner to make into butter as well, although I'm no chef.

Great looking stuff. Might have to invest in a chest freezer for the garage. I'm sure my wife would love it if I stuffed the kitchen freezer with all my trim bags.

Time to prepare a nice meal then back to work for a long night in the shed with the scissors. Having a 14 inning World Series game on the radio Tues night was a bonus for trimming, go Royals!

We're day-by-day here. Was 30F again this AM..... everything is covered and will be OK....but things DO slow down when it gets this cold. The Cheddars are getting HUGE buds...especially the 2 that are in the 25 gallon pots! The 65's are also doing well....but it's a great comparison to see. Gonna guess they will all yield about the same but the ones in the smaller pots will likely (so far, anyway) have much larger buds. There are close to 2X the buds on the larger girls but they are all noticeably smaller in size.

The lone Cherry Slyder girl won't finish till the middle-to-end of October and will have to get the space heater treatment to survive to fruition. Everything else will be taken down in a few weeks...probably about the same time you are targeting over there. (later if we can swing it!)

The ladies who ran into the woods are also wearing sweaters....and are finishing up nicely as well. Far smaller all around...but there are enough of them to make a nice difference/bump in the overall take. Just SUCKS to have to cover/uncover them daily...but it is what it is and is the price we pay to live (and grow OD) in Paradise...

Still hunting for some faster flowering (50-55 day/etc) cultivars. If any of the usual suspects or folks who ended up with some of the many clones I gave away this year wanna recip or have any leads on such strains....I'm all ears.
