Collecting kief while trimming and packing a bowl of it

avatar

While harvesting my plants, we worked over a screen tray so any crystals that fell off could be collected. Since we have trimmed a few plants, now we had quite the layer of kief building up. I plan on using these cuttings from the buds later on. I place it all in a bag. Its great to have all this byproduct, its just about getting creative with what you do with it.

It all starts with getting clean, and having fresh clothes. Do not want to have anything fall in if I can help it.

Crushing up the leaves a little as I put them across the screen and then bag them up.

Loving all those black leaves inside. So many of them are sugar leaves.

Once all the leaves are scooped up I pour the rest into my plastic bag.

Now we are just left with cannabis crystals underneath. Time to sweep them up.. Unfortunately the kit came with a broken brush.

Theres the bag, in there are cannabis leaves, sugar leaves, and leafy popcorn buds.

Once I sweep it up it becomes what we know as kief.

We can see the brush strokes where it was swept up.

I collect it into a card and bring it into the lounge to put into a bowl.

The bag of cannabis byproduct goes in the freezer, helps preserve them and also makes the crystals more brittle so they will separate from the plant matter more easily.

Now I am not going to just smoke nothing but kief, I need something at the bottom of the bowl to catch it. So we grabbed the most tasty nug we could find front my recent grow. Man so frosty! I am really happy with how my grows have come out, cannot wait to grow some known strains. Wrapping up on what I got but planning on starting some new plants this spring.

It goes into my grinder, and breaks up nicely. This cannabis is about 15 days old so its just enough to smoke. It stuck together real good and could tell it was a little on the wet side but good enough to smoke thats for sure.

We put the ground up home grow at the bottom and the kief collected from the trimming trays on top. Man it was powerful!

It burned really smooth and for such low cured cannabis it tasted great. It burned strong and had to fan it out to take a break. Really happy using everything that I have grown to make my own bowl. Now with my cannabis curing I can start to enjoy it as well, and it really does seem to just grow on trees as they say.. hah

Pretty good process! If you find yourself with a bunch of stem and leaf, you can brew the stem/leaf into tea. Gives a slow body high, tastes kind of similar to green tea... Some bitterness that a touch of sugar helps with.

Ah yes I should give this a try, when I found some male plants from some seeds I grew I tried to make some weed tea.. it worked but I hear the female stems should have even more. I should give it another try.

thanks for the tip

Awesome to see you being able to enjoy what you grew. Growing your own cannabis really opens up the possibilities of what you can do with the plant. I dont think I will ever stop growing. It is just to easy to get your own high quality cannabis.

Sure is, the cannabis plant has so much to offer. Its just how you go about collecting its goodness.

I am amazed with the quality, and happy to smoke what I grow :-) It can be hard work but worth it.

Thanks, yeah this stuff is pure.. many probably "stretch" their hash with something to get more to sell.

Hehe thanks man yeah those tools are pretty cool for collecting the kief.

That hash looks great. I don't know about there but here, the first trichomes that come out with the very fine mesh and without freezing is known as Double Zero (00). It is a delight and here it is very difficult to get, unless you make it yourself. Enjoy it.

Might be able to make some decent concentrate out of that bag of byproduct. Some butane is all one needs to strip the THC out.

Ah cool, unfortunately butane extraction is not legal here. So not something I can really post about.

I prefer the solvent less ways, but BHO is nice when people do it safely.

It is fun to watch it drip on the pyrex and instantly boil from what I have seen.

I'd consider that to be the fast and easy approach, when done safely of course. Losing an arm or blowing up the house just for a dab probably isn't worth it. I don't have fancy equipment so I just do it outside, in small batches.

I don't grow my own; simply buy it from the store. Every bag has a few stems and sticks of course. I set those aside for a couple months and let them accumulate, then rinse them with butane. Made from stuff meant for the trash. Surprisingly potent every time. Can clean pipes with it as well and convert that goopy brown tar into smokeable concentrate.

I do not recommend an amateur attempt any of this on their own though. Much easier and safer to buy concentrate from the store. At least where I live.
