KIEF

Kief sometimes transliterated as keef, also known as “Dust” and “Chief” a.k.a cannabis crystals among other names, refers to the pure and clean collection .

• Can be collected in a grinder
• Unadulterated trichomes
• Can be smoked in a spliff or a bong

The simplest kind of concentrate is kief. it is the collection of trichomes which are separated from the cannabis flower. Trichomes are easily dislodged, and so can be produced unintentionally, as the cannabis flower rubs against the side of whatever container it’s being stored or manipulated in. To take advantage of this process, you may want to invest in a grinder with a -catcher, so that these loosened trichomes don’t go to waste.

Kief can also be made intentionally, by gently shaking cannabis flowers over a fine sieve, and then scraping off the products . Before doing this, it’s best to place your cannabis flowers in the freezer for a few hours, as this will help loosen the trichomes. If you have the budget, a pollinator with a revolving drum is an easy way to automate this process.

You can also make kief using the blender method: place your cannabis flowers in a blender, and cover them with ice water. Blend well, and let the mixture sit for half an hour. After that, drain the mixture into a jar through a silk screen. This will separate the water and kief from the other plant materials. Once this step is done, strain the kief-water through a coffee filter to separate the kief and the water. After this is done, squeeze out the coffee filter, spread your kief out, and let it dry.
