oh ..ok...most of the kief I've seen seems to be green....I felt blonde may be better as no plant material but wasn't sure. I have a tumbler with screens...20 min spin.
Did you buy or diy the tumbler? I'm thinking of tumbling trim rather than ice-water extraction.
Yes I understand this - I'm running trim and then further processing it into edible oil. Most of the terpenes will be long gone by the time I'm done regardless.
Terpenes are mostly not water soluble. The canabiniods and terpenes are mostly located in the capitate-stalked trichome head. Water will only "wash away" flavor, smell, if the trichome head is ruptured. This happens when you use a blender or drill to make bubble. Use a wooden spoon and be gentle. Bubble man separates the Bulbous, capitate-sessile, and capitate-stalked trichomes to harvest the stalked trichome heads only. Where the majority of cannibinoids and terpenes are. Water on its own will not wash away cannibinoids or terpenes.
I have been hearing great things about GreenBroz Alchemist 215 tumbler. Still need to process if you just want just the stalked trichome head.
$3500 US! To rich for my blood! I suppose if this were a business expense I'd look at it as a capital investment but I'm processing small amounts for my wife.
Pollen master make one too $600. Best if used if you place the unit in a deep freezer while you sepperate trichome.
Blonde is good. Just think what color your trichomes are. Amber right? Your Kief should reflect the color of your trichome under a loop. Green Kief is plant matter. Moon rocks are simple but can be messy. Roll your buds in oil, then roll in kief, easy peasy.
Cool. I just watched a video about this. The guy used shatter instead of oil. I have GSC in flower now and I really want to try this. I would like to see my wife smoke one of those and then say MEH!, it is OK, LOL.
LOL Rosin has no taste, Rosin is the worst, water bubble has the most taste. Even frenchy cannoli says bubble from fresh is the best,Then cure it for a few weeks.....
LOL water degrades terpenes.
I disagree as sit here dabbing on this amazing live Rosin
