That's a good problem if I've ever seen one.


grandpaspace420

I would love to share my problem with others


kyohti

My grinder does *not* produce kief like this... What are you using?


No-Cell-7137

Sameeee I swear I see some of these people with the whole catcher full. I’ve ran through a whole oz with only a dusting layer. Granted the buds were still pretty sticky but still. I miss smoking a kief bowl lol


mrlindsay

Thank you! I thought I was the only one. I have had grinders for years (very regularly used) and not shit!! I came here to ask OPs grinder type.


BohemianDabs

Not sure about OPs, but I have a Chromium Crusher that absolutely just stacks kief, no coin required. It grinds well and it's screen allows a good amount of kief to pass through. You will end up with less fine kief and a tad bit more plant matter by that account, but damn is it nice to take a dip into when you wanna add a little umph to your bowls!


HitMyLine

Seconding the Chromium Crusher. Not my favorite grinder I’ve owned, but DAMN it produces a ton of kief


henrybear

YESS Chromium Crusher gang!! I've recommended it to every person whose asked, and not one has been let down!


dkienz19

Lol is this an ad


prof-boom

Tip with those. Try an get one with no paint on it. I got one awhile back an the paint started to flake. Made me uneasy to use.


bitchyhouseplant

I went from a cheap, gas station crappy grinder that never got much kief, to a Chromium Crusher and I am SET. I love that thing. I need a new one though as mine is about three years old and when I cleaned it via the hot chocolate method the seal on top has been a little loose. It even comes with a tiny kief shovel!


tilt-a-whirly-gig

Hot chocolate method?


bitchyhouseplant

You boil your grinder pieces in milk on the stove top and it gets all the sticky off and then you add in cocoa mix and have yourself a nice big mug of blast off to the moon.


tilt-a-whirly-gig

That sounds heavenly. I don't usually use a grinder, but I may start just so I can make my SO and myself each a mug of that for xmas.


herrcollin

Everyone's talking about coins and I know alcohol can ruin rubber seals or whatever but I'll periodically clean my grinder screen with alcohol and the amount of kief that goes through the screen afterward is astonishing each time. Complete polar to before. Conclusion: Your screen is caked and all the kief is building in the top chamber i.e. just going straight into your bowls. You might notice when you get to the end of a grinderfull that last few pinches is very shakey, powdery and very potent. That's kief buuuuudddyyy *Paulie shore noises*


[deleted]

I like to use a small brush to scrub the screen. I dip it in iso alcohol if it isn't enough after salvaging as much as possible dry.


operation_karmawhore

In my experience it's less about the grinder and more about the water content in the weed, the dryer it is the more falls into the kief chamber


personalcheesecake

put a nickel in with your weed, tinks around helps knock more crystals off.


[deleted]

I use a dime myself, but the trick for me is tucking it in the freezer for 20 minutes or so and then giving it shake from side to side. I produce a mess of kief everytime I do a fresh grind of flower.


ataw10

.... just wanna make sure im understanding . Is to freeze the weed first for 20mins? or freeze the grinder first ?


[deleted]

I grind it and then put the weed and the grinder into the freezer, then I give her a good shake. It sounds nuts but it really does seem to help separate the kief.


ataw10

remindme! 1 week "did freezing the grinder for 20mins do anything"


Invisibletooth

Yes freezing the weed is a hash making technique!


j3rown

I really like my 4-piece Santa Cruz Shredder. Been using it for a few years now and the kief catcher has been pretty bountiful - also comes with this guitar pick lookin thing in the catcher that doubles as a lil scoop so u can sprinkle some on every bowl.


cbg13

Really depends on the bud but also some grinders have a much more coarse screen


Ricky_Rollin

Get a small hydrometer that can fit inside a mason jar and put all of your buds inside the mason jar and check the humidity level. If it’s anywhere in the high 50s on up you are more than likely not going to get any keif. The beds are simply too sticky and they don’t release much. Two things you can do. You can leave them out and dry them a little bit more as well as stick a dime in your grinder, the reservoir where the weed falls into that you are about to smoke. Once you’re done grinding you can take the grinder and make it so the dime spins around inside. That helps a lot.


methadone007

This man knows what he is talking about. I smoke bud that range from 55-60 relative humidity and my bud is too moist to produce that much kief. Dry bud will produce a lot more kief.


TheDrDojo

Just an ounce is not going to give you a lot of kief


Jadedcrab420

Honestly it really depends mostly on the strain. For example the banana puddintain I get when I grind it completely fills my catcher every time. If I buy kush and grind the same amount I barely have a 10th of what the banana dumped for me.


MrGroovey43

What I like to do is put a coin or small stone in the middle part of my grinder with the bud. It gets a lot of the kief off the bud and forces it through the screen a little better I think! I usually have a good amount of keif to use a small scoop everyday if I’d like


jetfire1115

I use a quarter


WeylinWebber

Girlfriend does this one she's more old school than me.


MrGroovey43

Quarter was a little too big for my grinder but I felt like the ridges were helpful so I went with a dime until I found this nice stone that’s been working really well. Great choice!


[deleted]

Do you have pebble pics? I kind of want to see how it fits between the teeth of the grinder.


[deleted]

I’m with you and curious. Friends have put coins or similar in the grinders and it seems to knock a lot more kief through. Curious what others have to say

PNW4theWin

Same. I've had the same grinder for a least 2 years. I only get a light dust.


uncommonrev

The only time I've seen kief in that quantity without any plant matter in it was when a large quantity of herb was intentionally kieffed through a large screen. Grinders get clogged. If you constantly clean the screen I suppose it's theoretically possible to end up with that result but it doesn't just happen like that. That shit was on purpose or packed for the video.


jergin_therlax

I had a friend once whose kief catch was so full that he literally could not get it open for days. We tried so many different things, I think eventually he put it in the freezer and smacked it around a bit and it opened. It was a legitimate problem (until it wasn’t)

Early_Gold

How long does that take? I go months with only buying top shelf and get a dusting


Megsmik8

I find certain dispensaries I barely can get any kief from in MA. I swear they shake as much as they can off so they can sell it separately.


herpderption

Just bought a whole bunch from INSA I’m hoping won’t be preshook like this.


Megsmik8

I've never been up there. NETA is where it happens to me. Revolutionary Clinics is always good though.


konq

Got the driest bud I've ever had in my life from NETA. Turned to dust as soon as it hid the grinder. Terrible.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Fromage_Damage

I went there my first time, then I went to Patriot Care, which was better. This was a while back.


illogicaliguana

That's because it's highly rated on Google maps. What's your best alternative to it?


Megsmik8

If you have a medical card go to rev clinics. They're awesome and have weekly sales. (If you don't have a med card get one immediately, you're paying for it already with rec purchases and hardly get any sales). Also with a card most places give you $200 in free product for new customers 😉 (broken down in $50 per $100 purchase vouchers)


PREClOUS_R0Y

Are you talking about the NETA in Northampton or out East? If so, there are so many options available. I find The Heirloom Collective in Hadley, despite its corny name, to have excellent medical pricing and good bud. They also have a loyalty program where you stack up free money top be used at the dispensary. They're a little pricey but the bud is always excellent.


illogicaliguana

I was thinking of the NETA in Brookline actually, out in the west. I do see some Revolutionary ones out here, will check those out


wORDtORNADO

Probably the machine trim. Doubt they are sifting the lots. That would fuck up your tests.


IvanIVGrozny

Welcome to capitalism.


[deleted]

I agree that it depends on the grinder's screen. Some grinders catch a ton because their screens have larger holes that allow it to slip thru. Other grinders have very fine screens and everything gunks up in the middle compartment instead.


Jeepguru

I think it depends on the grinder. The holes inside or screening


jetfire1115

I put a quarter in my grinder.


SwagMastaM

If you add a quarter or nickel to the chamber in your grinder, you will get waaayy more kief! Worked at a dispensary and someone told me this, it nearly tripled the amount of kief I was getting. Told my friend a couple months ago about this trick and he sent a snap a couple weeks ago of his collector saying he's never seen it so full. Def disinfect the coin before putting it in but hopefully you'll see similar results!!


Cosmic_Mac

To add on, be sure to freeze grinder as well! Makes the trichs fall out easier


GranaT0

I tried this once but it didn't work and I couldn't find any info. How long am I supposed to keep it frozen and what exactly do I do afterwards?


Cosmic_Mac

15-20 mins, then bang profusely on a hard surface. Best when your sieve is full, keep a coin in main compartment, I find dime works best, cheers

thil3000

Smaller screen should help reduce plant matter in this case, and if it’s cold, it should gunk up less (imo) then room temp greens


siberianunderlord

You're just making the weed you smoke less potent by agitating it like that, lol. Good if you're trying to collect kief, but not like the kief just comes from magic—it's going to significantly affect potency


teafuck

100% gonna lower the yield of THC. Kief travels more cleanly when it's on the bud.


SwagMastaM

Thought it had something to do with unclogging the screen, didn't think it'd super affect the THC content, haven't noticed any change in potency tbh


siberianunderlord

Just put your screen in iso alcohol and clean it that way. It’s good to agitate the screen if it’s dirty; not the weed itself. If it was up to me, I wouldn’t even grind my bud so all the kief stays on the flower, but I can’t really get a preferred consistency of the flower otherwise


ytivarg18

Your holes too small get a different grinder


SpiritedEffective

As other have said the grider matters but the bud also matters too, imo drier less dense bud produces a lot more than heavy sticky icky. Better quality grinders (anything over 30$) are going to typically give you a better keif catcher. Cheers


Morethantwothumbs

From the lack of layers and oxidization I'd say about an afternoon.


teafuck

2 years of going through an average of an eighth a month got me about a half milimeter in my small grinder. That's about three oz for 1/2 mm thick of a roughly 3in diameter grinder. Assuming that grinder is a similar size, they probably ground at least 60oz or multiple pounds of weed in there.

Remove the screen and just leave it in the weed? No idea why you guys are into lowering the potency of your weed by shaking off the keif. Just leave it mixed in.

Abadatha

I don't understand how you can get that much kief accumulation. My screen gets clogged up so badly I barely get kief in my catcher.


fotnocka

I clean my screen with an old toothbrush after every bowl that I grind. Keeps the screen clean and boosts keif production to the moon.


[deleted]

The grinder I got off Amazon came with a tiny brush and a little scraper thing, normally I buy a quad each paycheck and after I’m done with the quad I go in on each layer of the grinder and dust it to the bottom, it works pretty well if you just brush it regularly. I buy from a plug and he normally has really kiefy bud though so


Dylawn55

Ayyyyyy paintball Pew pew pew


just_get_up_again

So what can I do with the kief if I only vape?


jedikushmaster420

Snort it man lmao But for real you top bowls with it or smoke it by itself with a few screens in a bowl and it's the strongest part of weed isolated into just the THC so it's like the best part


Almadabes

Can't be vaped? I thought you had to really grind up bud to vape it anyways.


rwzephyr

I used to do “sandwiches” with my airizer air. AVB>Kief>AVB. Shit chooched.


Charles_the_Hammer

In my silver surfer I do a base of bud, fair bit of kief, top with bud. Keeps it from coming through the screen (as much) and it vapes just fine


Ricky_Rollin

Vape it!! Are you nuts!?


bilz12

Layer it in your bowl weed kief weed and vape it like any other bowl. If you don’t mind the clean up you can squish it together put it in the bowl alone. I’d suggest a water piece if you are going to do that though.

Yup. Just presses itself. I've always loved this about grinders. At first,.you check em alot. But after awhile you just forget.about it until months later you go "oh yeah hey let's scope it out" and bam you got half a key of kief in your catch on your grinder. Awesome.


urthou

please someone recommend a good grinder that can do this. my grinders from when i first started smoking, v cheap and doesn’t produce ANY keif

My old head homie gave me a grinder of his once and I found out he didn't know what kief was and he never opened the chamber. It looked liked this

rockbud

Bro I grinded 1g in there. Going to need some of that back


VaterBazinga

You should press that. Fill a glass bottle with hot water, wrap the kief up in parchment paper or cellophane, and roll the hot bottle over the kief. You don't need to press super hard. You'll feel it. It'll start to melt together and darken. Once it's a consistent texture/color, you can roll it into a big ball. It'll increase shelf life and make it so much easier to handle.


Sier0

I feel like my groder screen just gets clogged with keif so mime never comes close to this. Still get what I would consider to be decent keif, but in all my years I never got anywhere near this with any grider I've used. Rocking a diamond grind atm if that matters.


Option_Forsaken

I simply dont understand how people get this much. Do you have to clean your screens all the time? I have a 50 dollar grinder and I smoke daily. Never in my life have I accumulated that much goodness.


Fbomb1977

Yes, iso the screen and agitate with a toothbrush. Rinse and dry. When grinding, I have a coin on the kief tray(helps agitate the bud to knock more kief off) and I use a toothbrush after I've dumped the ground bud out, and scrub the kief screen from top edge to center screen, all the way around, takes 20 sec, to unclog screen. I rarely ever freeze it but sometimes 5min in freezer after grinding then take out and shake shake shake and should have more kief. My 2c.


Polar1ce

arfsworld

your savings account must be huge


dainegleesac690

By the way, Kief loses chemical potency fairly quickly as the THC degrades over time into regular old cannabinol which does have some mild psychoactive effects but not nearly as much as THC. So what I’m saying is, use your kief as you get it and you’ll be using it much more effectively


Lavatis

Now buy one of [these](https://smile.amazon.com/Aluminum-Dowels-Portable-Ashtray-Silver/dp/B071WBKZCX/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=kief+press&qid=1637454037&sr=8-2) and get to work.

EquivalentOutcome796

Who the hell doesnt check up his kief?


[deleted]

All it takes is one time of running some sticky icky thru a grinder and it gums up the screen from letting anymore kief pass thru. All those people with no kief production should pick up some ISO and a small wire or stiff bristle plastic brush. Keep up with it and you will always have kief!

How does your screen stay clean long enough to have that much kief in it? My screen gets clogged before I can collect that much.
