TRIMMINGS - Whats your favourite thing to do with it?

[straintester]

I'd like to know what most people do with their trim after harvest?

Do you dry it first and make cannabis by products?
Do you freeze it first to make cannabis by products?

What are your favourite things to make and why?

i give mine to a couple of friends that are to broke to buy good weed and too paranoid to grow it. it seems my shake and scraps are better that the brickweed that they buy for 200/oz

First I freeze most of my trim and get me some bubble hash...

Then I run that through 2 QWISO runs to make me some hash oil...

Save a oz of quality trim for butter...

Some dry sift makes its way in there too sometimes...

Here's a great link for making QWISO...

Dry sift is keif, yes, which is probably my favorite smoke, but bubble is far too simple and quick to pass up. There's nothing like a bong full of dry sift to set you off....

My skuff either goes to bubble or into the tumbler. I make firecrackers with the kief, and oil with what's left. Then, the oil is turned into chocolate truffles.

I make cannabutter, then I bake basic sugar cookies with that

Firecrackers? Ok this is the first time I have heard this one. I hope you don't mind me asking but why firecrackers? What are the benefits?

They're discrete and easy to eat on the go.

Hey whats up tester....
i found this on a site based out of the uk.its a recipe to make what is called amber....
very very close to bho,but so much easier and safer to make...and it only takes 15 minutes and some highproof liquor...http://www.uk420.com/boards/index.php?showtopic=133100

every one should give this a try if they have time and extra trim.you wont be disappointed.im in the middle of setting up a cook for 4 oz of trim and popcorn buds.hoping for a few phat grams of the amber in return......i guess its super potent....

Dry sift is definitely a separate category in hash making, The fact that you said trim, not bud would be a limiting factor quality-wise. I still manage to get pretty consistent quality, high grade kief from my trim using a tumbler.

As for cannabutter - I prefer to make it with a mix of trim and popcorn bud. I toss in the bud and trim mix into a pot of molten butter (thats cooled off slightly), stir it up, top off with water until the plant material is fully submerged and bring to a boil. Turn it down and let it simmer for 6hrs, drain through a cheesecloth in a fine colander. The cheesecloth allows you to neatly lift up the plant material and squeeze and remaining liquids from it. Let the liquid cool down, stick it in the fridge for a while (overnight) and the next morning, viola! , you have some fun butter.

Very cool.

I also recommend dry sift. Seems that bubblehash is all the craze now-a-days. I too bought a set of three hundred dollar bags. Now I use them to dry sift, and I believe it is WAY less work, yeilds more, and produces equal quality.

This is a good example of a tumbler http://www.aqualabtechnologies.com/...s/tumble-now-rotator-dry-sifting-machine.html
All kief has some amount of plant matter in it initially, thats why I use a set of screens to refine it further
