Trim bin redeems itself: Gathering kief

[alltatup]

I always thought the Trim Bin was way overpriced, but now I don't. I made the easiest and best resin ever this morning. I've hade dry ice hash a few times, but I found the process to be a total pain in the ass, and my final product was always brown and contaminated by lots of leaf matter: NOT THIS TIME!!! WOW. The Trim Bin does a fantastic job!!!

In case you're not familiar with the trim bin, it consists of two parts, the top bin has a stainless steel screen (150 micron). I have used it primarily for trimming bud, as it's very comfortable to rest my elbows on.



First I dried all the trim in my curing room: temp 68, humidity 50%. The above picture is the sugar leaf after I sifted like a gold miner for around 20 minutes. There was significantly more volume when I began, and quite a bit of the leaf did break, but didn't make it through the screen!!! I gently shook the bin and moved the leaves around with my fingers a little.



It just kept coming and coming!!! I'm delighted with the amount and purity. I just ordered a hash press.

[Farmbuck]

Kool.! Can't wait to show us your Hash press. We shall call ourself "makehasheasy"

[alltatup]

I swear, Farmbuck this was so easy!!! Now I'm excited about collecting sugar leaf!!!

[Farmbuck]

I'm happy for you alltatup I prefer collecting dry than wet and beside I sometime cure my kief lolll Be safe !

Got my Nepal girls curing now !! A few more weeks before I collect their delicious trichies to make my hash.

You’re starting to become my product tester lol I’ve had this in
my cart on Amazon for a while but thought too pricey. Thanks for the post!

[alltatup]

bboyfromwayback When I think about the money I spent on dry ice hash equipment, I cringe. Well, it wasn't that bad, but the bags were such a pain to wash, and the dry ice was a pain to deal with, and clean up was also a pain, and my product never turned out right. Pain, pain, and disappointment.

So now I'm super happy with my trim bin.

[bboyfromwayback]

Well shit! I got all the stuff to make bubble hash the other day, I just haven’t tried it yet so maybe I’ll just return lol I also ordered the stuff you need for nebulas’s canna caps and it’s in route. I’ll just make those and some butter then try hash later. GWE has me venturing out

[AccidentalGardener]

That contraption looks like something I want! Now it's in my Amazon wish list. Thanx alltatup

[alltatup]

I hate to recommend that anyone spend 50 bucks or so on a plastic bin, but... the 150 micron screen is great. It also helps prevent a big mess...

[AccidentalGardener]

I thought about MacGyvering something. Perhaps a much smaller screen tray. I don't think my buds would fill up the tray -even if I cut all 6 bushes at once
I would forever be coveting a full tray, lol.

[D.A.A.S.69]

alltatup wow,that is nice.
Got a question for you, do you use a screen on your Solo2, ? my Flowermate, v2, is about shot, gonna get the solo2, today.

[D.A.A.S.69]

Thanks for the information, I sure don't mind waiting, got plenty of rollinpapers here.
Thanks Fbl, an 147.

[alltatup]

D.A.A.S.69 Hey buddy, no, I don't use the screen--just the bent elbow tube. They say the screen heats things up more, so I like to avoid that. I also quit grinding my bud for the Solo II: I just gently break it apart with my fingers and fill the bowl lightly. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY SOLO II!!!!!

[D.A.A.S.69]

alltatup thanks alot, take care.

I love my trim bins! I bought 2 a few months ago. One for me and one for my honey. They work great. I haven't finish my outdoor harvest yet. About 1/2 way through. Ive got a nice size pile of kief ready to go into the jar. I ordered a hash press too. Should be here next week.
The bins are super convenient to use and the kief just collects underneath.

[bboyfromwayback]

Smart man! I handle the grow but anytime I order anything for trimming I always get 2. One for me and one for the wifey lol

[PLreef]

We know how this works. Happy wife, happy life!

[alltatup]

I ordered a stainless steel hash press on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

20 bucks and 75% 5 star rating (377) reviews.

[CaptainWiese91]

Not bad at all ! Looks nice 😎🤟🏻
did you freeze the trim first or just normal dried and then sifted?

[alltatup]

I left the trim in the bin in the cure room at 50% humidity for around a week, turning it.

[Canuck147]

Thanks alltatup - for that great review - you've sold me.

[alltatup]

Enjoy, Canuck!!!

Trim Bin Tip 'O the Day alltatup. For ease of collection and less waste, line your bottom bin with Reynolds Freezer wrap. Easy peasy and no static.

[ChadWestport]

Like parchment paper?

let us know mate when get press show us how it goes nice one

[ChadWestport]

That is a great way to do it. I trim over my keif box, which isn't as large as this. The added size would be nice, fabulous review, thanks.

I've wondered if I took my collected kief and ran it through my bubble bags with water, if I could get further separation of the different micron trichome heads. Don't exactly want to waste a bunch of dry sift learning the hard way though.

[alltatup]

I have a large box of 1000 sheets of 16" x 24" Quilon Parchment Paper Liner Sheets. I line the trim bin, I lay the branches and buds before and after trimming, I keep my sugar leaf on them while they dry. Can't beat them for keeping things neat and non-sticky.

[SoOrbudgal]

I did'nt know it came in sheets, i got a roll of it.

[bboyfromwayback]

SoOrbudgal right! She’s turning me onto all kinds of good stuff lol that box of precut sheets is pretty sweet

[Farmbuck]

Wife buy it at Costco

[Canuck147]

Canadian Government just gave us old agers - well me - $600.00 for COVID relief. Got it on order+a cheapass press.

[ChadWestport]

lol. Not gonna lie, covid money bought me a new light. Good stuff Canuck, enjoy the new toys.

[bboyfromwayback]

I wouldn’t have spent the money on my new lights if it wasn’t for Covid relief

[alltatup]

Cannabis is covid relief!!!!!!!

[PLreef]

20 minutes of sifting and I made this little pile of kief.

[ChadWestport]

I've still made butter with it, chopped it up for joints and the trim that I don't heavily scrub on the kief screen, I'll toss it into bubble bags.

[PLreef]

Well shit... into the crockpot they go!

[ChadWestport]

Give it the smoke test. If a joint gets you high, it's still got some goodness in it.

[WeirdWiredWolf]

I bought myself a TrimBin last fall (my local grow shop closed permanently over the summer...sniff...) and love it. I was able to get a little bit of kief out of my last harvest...but go figure, the jar somehow got lost in the freezer. I hope my mom didn't mistake it for sugar or baking yeast...well, guess it serves me right for swiping her parchment paper.
