yes, thats the "dry sift" method, if you're going to do the dry ice or bubble hash method they recommend freezing all your trim fresh.

Cool! Looking for a screen now.

Roger A. Shrubber · Oct 13, 2016

pay attention to the number of the screen, i think 110 is too coarse, you get a lot of plant matter, and 130 is too fine, i think 120 is perfect, but thats my personal opinion, others may like a finer screen

go to ebay and buy a stretched piece of 120 silkscreen, a small frame is ok. all you do is put it on top of a tray and break it all up on the screen and card it back and forth, i just grab it and scrub it across the screen, not really hard but firmly. kief will collect on your tray. keep scraping the kief off to one side, when it starts to take a long time, you're done, throw that weed away and press the kief into a chunk...thats hash.
you can do the same thing with ice water in bubble bags, theres quite a few videos on youtube about how to make hash. i suggest the method i described your first time, quick and easy, and only requires about a 20 dollar investment, if you like that you may wanna try the bubble bags, which also work with dry ice

oh yeah, look into a pollen press, they have them on ebay and amazon, just a tube with little spacers that you can use to form the kief into hash, i made my own from stuff at the hardware, but just buyin a cheap one works too. i would suggest the aluminum ones, though, the plastic ones just seem flimsy

In the process of making the hash now. What do you mean by " when it starts to take a long time"? Also, do you throw away the bud now?

i do a big handful at a time, as much as i can and it not run over the edge of the screen when i'm rubbing it around.
i run it over the screen for about 5 minutes, turning it and flipping it over. then i'll brush all that kief off to the side, and do it again. after another 5 minutes i'll probably have about half what i got first time. brush that aside, and then i go for another couple of minutes and get a little more, but usually not enough to make it worth the effort to try again. then i just throw that handful away, as its about useless now except as compost, and start again.

I'm thinking when i start to get enough I'll get a screen or a tumbler and do like that. Then i think i can double my yeild by doing rso before i toss. And saving some dry larf and leaf for cooking use as herb and in place of parsley.

Finally finished reading this entire thread..... I have always hang dried as most normally do and then I start my cure, but when going to make hash I keep all my sugar leaf and I use the iso method and always have great results..... that is last grows iso extracted hash..... I. The end I yielded about 5 grams. To be honest I like this hash better then pressing pollen or cold water extraction.. it is simple and to the point only thing is to evap all the iso it can take around a month.... long time but very worth it.... everyone has a preference....

I know this post is old but can anyone tell by this pic of my plant is done? Trichomes have been milky for about a week and are now maybe 20-30% Amber. Its only 6 weeks into flowering.

it's not done. it doesn't look done and 6 weeks isn't long enough. 8 weeks is common for indica, sativas run longer. feel free to start new threads for questions ,, newbie central and general marijuana growing sections have people who will answer you .also recommend a grow bible and http://www.growweedeasy.com/
early amber is a good sign

Hoping you can tell me if she's ready now. A little over 8 weeks now I just don't want to chop her early.

maybe ask again with a close up. no one seems to be watching. i am thinkin of cutting a mini one today. i will leave it till morning and for at least a day. more thc can be produced in a regular day than degraded and i prefer a mature trichome ..

That's a little one. About how much you think she will weigh. I have a dwarf plant now 8 weeks in flower. Its about 8-10 inches tall.
