Hello all.
I'm still not growing but I'm still trying to post. I'm a lost cause!
So a short time ago I was reading where
@Lady Cannafan had gotten a "Buddies" kief sifter box from a friend. As is my custom, I "bit" and decided I needed one of those too!
It came today.
After figuring out how to open the thing and then feeling really stupid for having taken so long to do so, I grabbed a jar of the Fat Kid's Cake from a recent grow. I ground enough of it to nearly fill the box and then stuck the box in the freezer.
After about 3 hours in the freezer, I took the box out and shook it for about 1 minute.
LadyC had suggested that I put something under the box to catch any kief that escaped while shaking. Good suggestion! I put a sheet of parchment paper beneath mine. That little pile to the right is the amount that escaped. It's not much but still I was grateful for LadyC's advice.
LadyC also suggested that I use a small brush to gather the kief. The only brush I have on hand is too large for this purpose. (It's the one I used to paint food with sauces.)
So I used that little metal thingy you see above to try and scrape a pile together.
That little metal gadget was sent to me by
@Carcass. He sent it along with a sample of his CarcassMud®. I have affectionately dubbed it my "scoop n' zoot," just because! It did an okay job of helping me gather a pile, but I can see where a small, soft brush would do a better job.
I have a small glass bottle in which to store the kief (also courtesy of
@Carcass ). To get my new pile into the bottle I dumped my pile onto a smaller piece of parchment paper, formed a funnel and just poured it into the bottle.
I'm going to shake that box again before I go to bed tonight. I'm certain there's more in there to get, but 1 minute may be my go-to shake duration period. So I'll just keep baby-stepping my way along!
That's my news for today and posting it felt so good!
Thanks for looking in. And thanks to you
@Lady Cannafan for your input!
PEACE
