KIEF... a Silent Diary... by GypsyBush

nice work gypsy.. looks abit green though. probly cause u used 110 mesh.

where did you get your screen?

i have a 100 mesh screen that makes great kief. when i press it and smoke it in a bowl it bubbles.

Gypsy,
Wow man, thanks for this! +rep to you for sure.

QUESTIONS:
Is the paper you used to wrap the plastic, like magazine paper or more like newspaper?

I have keif from my grinder saved in a cellophane, also trimmings and such from harvesting, like a gallon zip full......, the stuff from the grinder is like a real light brown color, or as you said a "blonde" color. Does this mean it is more pure than the stuff from the trimmings?

Where can i get the screen needed for this?

Been dying to make some hash from this stuff but didn't know how to!!

Thanks Again Gypsy... you're the MAN!!!!!!1

I am so glad "everyone" ..lol.. seems to be liking it...

Oh, and are those dwarf sunflowers? I just put some of those in the ground, I hope they turn out looking like that.

Click to expand...

They should...

I got a multi pack at the store.. I am actually surprised those have turned out to be the same kind..lol... I am really not sure of the type though...

Those 2 (4 flowers.. yes, they were topped...lol..) were the ones I kept under the HPS the longest, before moving them outside...

They were raised in my flower room in a pot of hydroton, on an ebb/flow tray...

Best of luck !!!

I got it a crafts shop... I wanted something right then and there, and that was what I could find...

And I agree, big mesh, green kief...

I don't mind it too bad though.. it's just for me... and it get's me soo high...lol..

Here we go...

Click to expand...

Newspaper is what I would want, I used pages from a catalog that had semi absorbent paper...

STAY AWAY FROM GLOSSY MAGAZINE PAPER...

You want something that can be wet without dripping...

I have never used and actually just thought of it, but paper towels might work... but they are thick, might have to cook a little longer...

Just use newspaper... 125F for 10 minutes... just to warm it up for the press...

I usually don't even press mine... I just keep it kief and top my bowls with it..lol..

Is it dry?

Yup, no leaf, just trichs.. that's the good stuff...

lilmafia513 said:

Click to expand...

No... it means that there is no leaf with it..

How pure your trimming kief comes out depends on the the screen you use...

I bought mine at a crafts shop, but you can buy the supplies online...

FDD really knows this stuff.. you should look up his thread on has making...

Dude's got a freaking washing machine dedicated to making hash...lol..

Shit dude, thanks, but all I do is try out the shit I read on here..lol....

We are all on the same boat bro... I just take a lot of pictures...lol..

Thanks for breaking it down elementary style Gypsy... nothing better than a bit of hash on top of a bud for sure Maybe you're right about Dumbrulz but I just hate it when someone puts up such an obviously laborious thread & then along comes someone with a hostile attitude. Looks like your good at seeing the forest for the trees though, LOL I still think you rock...MJ

i looked all around at every craft shop and could not find anything that would work.

i bought mine online here http://www.bcboxes.com/

Oh Baby... lol...

You know MJ... there are trolls, and there are people that come across as rude on line...

I really think that if we were all sitting together at a table, he would have brought his point across in a different manner...

I am guilty of being so DIRECT I am rude... and with no intention of it..

It seems whenever dry raw info gets posted, without "lols" and such, it comes off as rude...

Not sure... I could be wrong.. but I have seen it happen to me...

Cheers...

i got a different way of pressing it to.

i just put a bunch in some cellophane and fold it over a few times.
then get a wine bottle and fill it with really hot water and roll it over the cellophane.

Thanks, yes the trimmings are dry, a collection of the last three harvest.

So, i think i'll get the smaller screen if i can find it, but this is the way i'm doing it! Thanks again!

Those look nice...

Thanks for posting that!

Another real nice addition to the kief set up is a press...

I really like the Piecemaker Press (their little pipe rocks too!!!)





Pressing Hash with the Piecemaker Pocket-Press

What you will need:

• Hash.
• Piecemaker Pocket-Press.
• 2 x Pressing Foils.
• 2 x Stamp Inlays.
• 1 x Bench Vice.
• 1 x Hair Dryer.

The hair dryer and bench vice can be found in almost any household or hardware store, and the Piecemaker Pocket-Press and press inlays can be obtained through our affiliate sponsor EDI.

Open the bottom of the Piecemaker slide in your first press inlay (in this case the ying and yang sign) and then the pressing foil as shown in the below images. Notice the other press inlay (leaf pattern) and pressing foil ready to go in on top once we have filled it with the hash to press.

Now pour in the hash you are pressing and place in the other pressing foil, then the press inlay with the pattern facing in as shown in the below images.


Now screw the press down with your hands as tight as you can get it and wait 10 seconds then repeat till you can't screw it down anymore. Grab your hair dryer and warm the end with your compressed hash inside, once warm hold the Piecemaker in your vice firmly and screw down as far as you can with it now secured in the vice and slightly warmed. This should give you a compression of around 3000kpa. Let it sit for a few minutes at maximum compression before releasing the pressure and opening the bottom. Once the bottom is unscrewed carefully screw the tap in again till your compressed hash slides out as shown below.




Now just peel off the pressing foils and your all done!

WINO!!!!..lol..

You'll like the press I just posted above...lol...

lol that is too cool for school

oh yea man my buddy has a press like that. it makes a rock hard nugget of hash. very nice.

I'm embarrassed to admit, so far, all the trimmings I've taken off of her I flushed.But I figured since they were just the lower leaves and buds that were sucking energy off they wouldn't be worth my time, anyway.

GypsyBush said:

Stoney, I've seen your shrub.. when you harvest, you can most certainly get some... and then some..lol..

This was a very light screening of the trim, I could have kept going and DOUBLED that, but a lot of it would be leaf material..

I prefer to do it lightly and have a higher percentage of trichs vs leaf...

But some does get by, alas.. it's green..lol..

Not the purest or best of anything but it sure is easy!

And I sure LOVE KIEF!...lol... cough.. cough...

Oh, for fuck's sake, be nice or begone.

DubRules said:

man fuck all that shit. buy a space case and just collect resin in that rather than using a screen.
watch this video. its the same method. i used it for years with great success until last week when i bought a bubble now kit.
its more to the point and has verbal instructions. sorry, but who teaches with just pictures..? not a very good method..

Classic Stoney... I like it. Any questions?


P.S. Nice thread.

I AM a bit blunt at times,lol.

Glad to have you Stoney!!!

oh yea the only leaves you can get this stuff off of are the ones that are plastered with trichromes ....aka sugarleaf......so if you threw away some fan leaves and stuff np they dont have the sugar means they dont have .....well kief or hash

Cool, that's what I figured.

I add mine to the butter pile...

It may not contain much, if any, THC, but it sure tastes good...lol...

I save my "spent" trim and every little bit of ganja anything for my butter...lol...

Also worthy of mention, I have been to places where the roots are made into a tea, to ward off bad spirits....
