So I took 80 grams of trim. No buds at all and rubbed a few times with this method and so far I’m super happy. I only run maybe 3 mins at a time then put back into freezer for 3 hours.
That is really good something to be proud of, I’ve just started using this method myself and the different colours from trim and small buds compared to better buds and now I’ve tried different plants to and I find the higher grade it is it almost seems wet, it’s not but it moves like it has a mind of its own where as the other I’ve found is more powdery, still works it’s magic and hey this could just be an old stoner getting himself at it but its the same for the 1st rub compared to say the 5th or 6th rub if you know what I mean,but I can’t easily get dry ice and now I’m glad I couldn’t or I would never have tried this @highcountrygal dry rub method
I’m definitely proud. This was my first grow and I’m using everything wisely. Trying not to waste trim. I’m sure I’ll get more out of it. I go up to buds once I’m out of trim to compare the difference in quantity. It’s a very easy method to do and doesn’t take long at all. I have kids so I can always sneak away for a couple mins and rub a bit. I’m just having a good time doing all of this new stuff. Getting Kief, I made 2lbs butter last night, about to go make some oil later tonight. Its all new and exciting
Yeah I know what you mean, I’ve been doing the butter and coconut oil for edibles and decarbonising it and grinding it up for capsules to make it easier on my lungs is a great thing for me
Lol yeah I have been a life long stoner just never really figured it’d be the nasty tobacco taking me down but I do love my weed and it’s my medication as well as a passion
So after rubbing that 80 grams of trim for awhile I ended it with 10 grams of kief from that. I’ll throw the rest in with my oil trim. Had about 40 more grams left over from different strains trim that I had already used some to make 2lbs of butter. Froze that and rubbed more vigorously this time, twice now and got 12 grams so far. I’ll rub once or twice more before I throw it in oil trim also. It’s all a nice golden color. Already confused the containers thou. But does it really matter when you gonna have about an ounce of kief. I’ve never even had any measurable amount kief till now.
About a whole jar left from what I rubbed from multiple grows of trim and small buds that I’d been saving and half a jar of pure lemon kush ,But I gotta say I do love it ,I’ve been smoking it constantly with my weed since I did my first rub and this is what I still have left and I made butter out of the other trim to and I have lemon kush trim for making butter to
@Birdman1 great glad to have you. You are a great grower and you have a lot of experience so Welcome to the forum. I’ll intro you to a few really cool people. Check things out there are a lot of neat topics
So I finally bought a press. It’s not bad. Have to clean it every 3rd disc I make. Doesn’t take much to clean, just a bit of scraping so the rod doesn’t get stuck.
This is a mallet kind. I didnt have one on hand so I used a minecraft sword and a regular hammer. Shout out to the kids for that one. The disc are easy to break apart with fingers but not fragile enough to break when you drop them. I assume quality of product matters. Makes nice hash for people on the go…or not, I don’t judge you. They came out clean. I just had them thrown in with loose kief.
