This may be like a noob ass question right now, but I'm blazed as hell off of some Mendo Love and was thinking. *Stoned Stupidness Incoming* Since I've moved out to California I have been using a Shake Box I had gotten before my move. I've been just throwing full nugs in there after I hit a dispensary and shake it for about 3-5 minutes before every time I decide to pick one out. However, a friend of mine said to grind my bud, then throw it in there and shake it around. He told me I'd get more kief. I'm debating on doing this to the quarter I have right now but am unsure if it's truly worth it. Can I get some opinions. Also, my grinder is a Sharp Stone and has a screen in it.. however it seems to sometimes get stuck and produce less. I'll be here toking!
We'll you would most definitely get more keif. Think about it, if its ground up of course more will fall off. I'd recommend putting the nugs in the freeze for about 30 min, then puttin gthme in the box and shacking. You'll get more keif, but the bud won't lose a huge amount of potency (aka goodness)
You recommend the freezer trick because you get more kief from your bud or because you get less then if it was grinder, but more then if it wasn't.. and STILL have good potency?
the freezing thing is really if you want to make hash and get most of the kief off of it griding up would work really well though
I do want to get the most kief off of my bud simply because I am planning on learning to make edibles once I have a nice amount of product. I just grinded up my 4.5 grams of Blue Dream & 4.5 of Mendo Love.. been shaking for a little bit and got a nice amount of kief. I'm pickingup more tomorrow and Ill freeze those ones! Thanks to everyone who posted here, rep to all!
dude grind that shit up...i grind up all mine and put it in the box and my buddy doesnt believe it works so he just tosses in nugs...i now have like a fucking kief mountain and hes barely got shit..think about it though, more surface area of the bud is hitting the screen, thus more thc falling off and into your tray. Hope that was helpful.
I'm going to try to freeze the next nugs for a bit like recommended earlier in this thread. But grinding it up and just shaking it before every use is legit and has gotten me enough on my mirror to hide my reflection. It's funny because this is something I did back home in NJ when I smoked, collect kief and all.. now it's even more fun for me to collect my kief because I'm keeping a running tally of what strains are making up of the kief also. Once my collection grows I'll post pics! Just moved to Cali 35 days ago, so my collection is just starting out. But I just landed a job yesterday so more money is going to help!
I like to throw my nugs in the freezer then in a blender for a few seconds. All the kief sticks to the sides. Doing it this way you also get more return
I'm not trying to ruin my only blender though man. I make milkshakes and smoothies on a daily basis! However, if I came across a spare one or free one on Craigslist I may try it. I just picked up my first batch over here in Cali that had seeds in it. It's got me really thinking about trying to grow. I may start looking into that now!
