Pollen sieves

screw that brother, nothing better than parking my ass in front of that stove with my homemade ketchup bottle and high-liter bong and watching the snow fall
 
I have access to powder coating industry parts. I saved a vibrating assembly in parts from the base of a powder coating dolly. The vib table shakes the powder so you don't have to add air to fluidize it... Make it flow easy.

It's on my build list but I have a big build list. I have to find out what capacitor or thing I need to turn the motor into a straight wall plug. Now the start sequence is in the controller of the powder system and needs to do a soft start or it will pop breakers from the draw.

I have vibrating isolators and everything else needed. Hoping it turns out but it will be some time before I get there. One or two more grows should prompt it. I'll have a decent collection of trim I can run through then.

The pans I have go from like 1.5 inches down to 75uM. I worked at a place that sold slag and these were screens from the lab. I used acid to clean them and then an ultrasonic cleaner for a while. I have the big screens to my kid for his dirt pile.
 
This is the rig I use to grind weed & sifting to fill my cones. I use the same shaker with dry ice for kief with much a finer screen, it works great, I turned a couple of pounds of autoflowers into kief in a few hours

DabberDog yup. We have a large heated one at work I was able to get them in. Got almost every cell on the screen clean. I let it sit in acid for a while first to break the slag down more first.
 
Don’t freeze it , dry and cure it like your buds then sift it . Kitchen sieve is too large a mesh, and will allow plant matter through, not what you want.
 
Here’s a deep dive on dry sift. These guys are a great source of info for most solvent-less extraction
 
Lots of folks turn to those folks. Good information.
Something I got out of it was temperature. The article says to keep things cool, including the environment. When kiefing time comes, my apartment will be 75°. Nice and tropical like but still might make for sticky trichomes.
But I got to thinking. I'm fair tight with the liquor store people even though I don't go there much anymore because their prices are 3-4 times grocery store, and I told them. Lee's cool with dope so I might ask if I can use one of their coolers when kiefing time comes.
 
I like making dry ice hash (among other cannabis concentrates). So simple. Break up bud, freeeze, mix with dry ice, dump in first of three nylon bags and shake out the trichomes. This yields three grades of kief, ready for further processing or smoking.
 
I enjoy making it as well, something about making dry ice hash says, have a top shelf bourbon while you wait
 
hey, whats up smallgrow, will doing it the way you suggest seperate the green from the trichs? and another thing is kitchen seives come in diff. mesh sizes, how big is 2 big in microns
 
Allenpro you blasphemer! Drinking alcohol whilst preparing dope preparations is blaspheme. You use dope whilst preparing dope.
Alcohol is anti-dope.
No offense.
 
I dono DD, back in the days when I still drank and had run out of booze, I can remember pinching a dose of lab solvent to carry me over while doing extractions...
 
Riiiiight... the good old days. I never got around to alternative forms of inebriants like the lab grade and mouthwash and automotive fluids. Running out of booze always meant a hospital detox.
You know... the good old days.
