Trim bin redeems itself: Gathering kief

So I got me a Trim Bin. alltatup should be getting commisions.

Holy moley. I ran my teeny, tiny amount of cured trim from my first grow - in separate containers because one is a heavy CBD - and omg, all the leaf I won't have to fight to get the goodies. I quit smoking tobacco just over 4 years ago, so anything I can do to facilitate that is awesome. We end up with a lot of "tray weed" because I am a pot critic and if I don't like the way it smells ir feels, it's outta here. I had some pot that was gifted to me and for whatever reason, I found myself unable to use it. Santa may drag in a vaporizer, so I hung onto it. I decided to do an experiment and ran it through the screen.
I'm really glad I didn't toss it out because it gave me quite a bit of keif that I can use.

If you sample your bounty before you are done processing it, for the love of everything holy, remember to put the bottom back on it before you start gyrating around again.
 
One more tip- if you lift out the upper tray to look under and see how much is still coming out when you shake, don’t be a Lala (physical idiot) and overshake the leaf into your kief tray😂
 
Too late, LOL. I was covered in bits of weed from a-hole to ear-hole by the time I'd combined a weird exercise routine with separating it like it was chaff instead of pot.
 
Think there’s gonna be a few more comical mishaps before expert status is achieved on this end 😂
How about you @AccidentalGardener??
 
Everytime I use my trimbin i end up covered in trim and leaves. Apparently I wasn't aware of that fact. After I was done using my bin I had to run out to Homedepot with my wife. While at the self checkout line my wife was pulling off leaves that were stuck to my sweatshirt. Literally leaving a trail as we walked out. She didn't find it as amusing as I did......
 
lol PLreef I've definitely learned that some clothing materials are like velcro for trim. Don't forget to take off your socks :) I bet the clerk at Home Depot was like - this guy is cool.
 
Trimming and fuzzy slippers don’t mix

I have a couple questions for all you trim binners. Forgive me if I missed it in all the posts.
1.What do you do with your bud after you screen it like a gold panner? Do you still smoke the bud or make some form of edible out of it or is it worth keeping?

2. What kind of yield are you getting from the flower? What would you get for kief/resin from an oz of bud let's say?

Thanks
JEM
 
Don’t know if it was in this thread but someone posted that they give theirs a little shake in the bin before they jar it and get a fair amount of kief and doesn’t affect the bud in any noticeable way.
No idea first hand.....can’t wait to find out for myself
 
JohnEmad I toss the trim after removing the kief. When sugar leaves are properly dried to just the right point, they let go of the resin without letting go of other material. So I reckon you could make a smoothie or some such thing with the leftovers, but it don't sound too appealing to me...
