the tecnique I used was pretty simple...I froze about 6 ounces of quality buds and sugar leaves for a few days while gathering all the other gear...got the 4 set of bubbledude bags and 8 lbs. of dry ice...broke the flowers up to mebbe dime size nuggets and proceeded to hammer the ice into small chunks...I tossed the flowers into a 5 gallon bucket and covered it with the ice...(wear gloves)...swirreled it around to mix it and let it rest for about 5 minutes...I then slid the finest bag over the bucket and flipped it over like a salt shaker and began to twist and shake...when it became apparent it wasn't giving anymore white powder up I transferred the mix into the next bag and repeated the process...again, into the largest opening bag and shook it like a madman...the last bag dumps out the most but it's got more vegetal matter in it...after a few tokes, I repeated the process once again, starting with the finest mesh bag, medium bag, and the garbage bag as I call it...I got 3 different grades of kief, almost white from the fine bag, light tan from the medium bags, and tan to greenish on the largest opening bag...first run is full melt and will be smoked as such...second bag is very nice and pure, dunno what I'm gonna do with it...third bag pulls will be made into tinctures after filtering...dunno anything about making them but I'm sure the knowledge is contained on this site...any help gray...;)

I am speechless. What a Ph.D.-level dissertation.

Doncha just love the way he starts: "the tecnique I used was pretty simple..."

I am at the kinnikinnick** level when it comes to weed.

Hello Misfits, Feb 5th my birthday went into the hospital with elevated white blood cell count and a touch of pneumonia, it made me want to throw up but all I could do is have the dry heaves and I could not eat just got home yesterday. And today I'm feel good.

My Lemon Auto is small real small for 56 days but I decide to grow her out. I'll snap a picture when I get up an around. I'll be trying to catch up on some reading. Have fun.

I tossed the flowers into a 5 gallon bucket and covered it with the ice...(wear gloves)...swirreled it around to mix it and let it rest for about 5 minutes...I then slid the finest bag over the bucket and flipped it over like a salt shaker and began to twist and shake...when it became apparent it wasn't giving anymore white powder up I transferred the mix into the next bag and repeated the process...again, into the largest opening bag and shook it like a madman...the last bag dumps out the most but it's got more vegetal matter in it...

That works. Dry ice makes the trichome more brittle, so that they fracture more easily. It typically produces a higher yield than dry sieving, but also includes more trichome shafts and plant material, so the art to the science is watching the color and knowing when to quit.

An alternative is to shake the coarse bag first and use screens to refine the product. Usually a 220 micron for the first grab and refined with 150 micron, 110 micron, 70 microns, and 50 microns. Above 150 microns and below 50 microns is mostly plant material.

Here is a link with good information on micron sizing: 15.21 How to make DIY Dry sieving frames

You can also make your own scalping buckets using mesh. Here is an example of one that can be used for dry ice or bubble scalping. It uses a stainless cloth bottom reinforced with coarse screen:

You can also shorten the bucket so that nests with another five gallon bucket:
