Kief Sticking In Canning Jars.

Hi all!

Is there a means of preventing this?. Every time I jar freshly dried buds, invariably the inside gets coated with trichomes...just ran my finger through a jar and came out with blonde kief.

Drives me nuts cuz' it goes to waste.

Coat the inside of your jars with vegetable oil. You'll be good to go


Seriously though trichomes are sticky what can you do about it

Deck the jars with vaseline...falalala

Also, if I don't clean them with alcohol...they just get stickier and stickier.

Have you thought about pouring a small amount of EverClear or something similar into the jar then pouring it into something you could collect it from after it evaporates?

clean them with 99% isopropyl alcohol. Save the iso and make some serious shatter.

Try to fart in the glass and trap it in. make some serious shatter.

Dry sift your buds before jarring.

Don't pack the jars so full and tight, be gentle with those buds.

At least it's not stuck to plastic bags.

i rinse my jars out with a shot or two of vodka. and i sure don't let it evaporate- i drink it!

I think anyone that jars bud gets Tricomes stuck on the glass. You can dry sift as suggested but some will always stick if you Are growing Good Bud, so Props for the problem!

I agree with above poster, get ever clear say 1/2 cup pour into jar and shake till glass is Clean.
Pour everclear into next jar and repeat to each jar.
I am pretty sure you will get them nice and clean (I do 12 jars w 1/2 cup) , when finish pour it into a Pyrex dish with a flat bottom.

Then place dish on seedling mat or heating pad AWAY from Flame, No Smoking.

We don't want you hurt.

I put in my garage for two days on a seedling mat and the 1/2 cup liquid will evaporate.

some people scrape the dish when sticky, I let dish come to room temp then place in freezer.

when solid scrape slowly so it does pop and go flying, voila basic shatter!

EverClear works great! I don't have a mat so I let it sit at room temp for a few days.

Hmmmm... Might be a new drink in the making!!

Trichshine.

The reason this happens is b/c we all either use drying racks or hang until outside is somewhat crispy. Then we jar with the knowledge the moisture in the stem will re-moisten the outer portion, which for me always occurs.

From what I can tell, trichs only fall off upon initial jarring...at least I have not had an issue after buds even out on humidity.

I keep getting tempted to try these:

But there's a problem I cannot get past. If I dry for less time, then jar moister buds...they compress too much. Not sure if these packs would work fast enough to prevent this.

Using Boveda 62 s for 3 weeks, I still open my jars once a week for an hour.

I started with 6 Jars, Me and my GF smoked 1 already, an OZ per jar, 24 ounce jars.

Its OK smokes nice, some buds are better than others....
I took cola buds off at 64, more on 66 then chopped the plant at 70 days.

considering I grew it as my first Plant it's awesome to spend a little less on Dank and smoke my own!

OK here is a tric-shine recipe.

follow jar cleaning instructions, put liquid on stove with a few tablespoons of water, use an accurate thermometer in double boiler.

alcohol evaporates at 160 degree, heat long enough to Decarb kief, 30 minutes probably fine.

You are not trying to reduce alcohol to much.

to make it palatable, add honey, 4 tablespoons, a dash of Vanilla and I use MIO a few drops to taste.

ad water at the end and shake if it is to strong for your taste.

Their are anti-static sprays that work well but are made of stuff you would not want to ingest

Apple Pie Triceshine.......

Hmmmmmm.....
