Any way to separate trichromes from ground up stem?

[keevoskates]

So I have about a half Oz of ground up stem that is pretty much a kief texture, really powdery and green. I know it would be very difficult(if possible) to seperate the trichromes from the ground up stem since it is already in powder form, but does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

Chilled non polar solvent extraction....butane if you wish
Or sift through different micron screens like more traditional hash as long as the trichs themselves aren't too destroyed

1)If you use 91% isopropyl and mix it up(in pint mason jars)(maybe a whole big bottle for a half ounce) shake it up, let it sit until it gets hella green, then use the lid ring to secure coffee filters to the tops of your mason jars, and pour into a Pyrex bowl...wahlah, dank ass oil after it evaporates (6 hours when on a heating pad and blown with a fan)....

2)or use mason jars (pint size, filled 1/4 with shake, throw in a nickel for weight) and tautly cover the opening with a triple layer of pantyhose, screw the lid ring on, freeze for an hour, then vigorously swirl the jar upside down over a flat top table, the nickel will rub your shake against the screen and only the dry kief will fall thru, maybe a small anoint of plant matter, but just think of it as frosty ass bud haha

lol, it's called qwiso for a good reason.. the q standing for quick, the w being wash of course, and iso iso alcohol.. you only want to soak for 30 seconds max, other wise you get that hella green stuff, which is mostly all chlorophyl, and nada good in the hood...

try dry ice, 5 gallon bucket and a 73 bubblebag for a 5 gallon.... I use this method on all my stems... done in about 10 mins...not that I would smoke any of it I'm to spoiled on my dabs

Depending where you live you can get booze called Everclear. It's basically 90-95% grain alcohol. Throw your shitty shake in a jar with some of that. Wait a day and strain through coffee filters for a nice tincture or some green dragon. If you want to speed up the process you can boil it down, i suggest a real low heat for this. Just add your material to the alcohol at about 150-165 degrees boil for 15-20 minutes insted of waiting a day. This will usually give you a bit better product but I'm lazy.

Put them in grinder, then shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake i did it once when i was out of bud but i think that you are mostly smoking little stem hairs and not much thc when doing that :S it doesnt taste so good! But if yours are decent like you say and have some thc on it then it worth doing it anyway Terpenes will taste more then what the little hairs taste like i think just try it =]
