Ahh ABV (Already Been Vaped). Its ground up flower, packed in a chamber between two screens, and forced hot air...into bags. The ABV is the leftover after ~4 bags (normal)/packing.
Same. Roaches too?I save it up until I have enough..............then I throw it out.
I've done some devastating brownies using however. I put in in the French Press a few rounds until the water runs off clean...then add it to your batch.
can’t help myself , don’t wanna waste any of the precious cannabis!
If you're tossing your sifted sugar trim you are wasting precious cannabis. I took a good look at some with a high power USB scope and could see all sorts of squashed and remaining trichs so ran an experiment on a weighed oz. I don't recall the exact numbers but the nice golden oil I got from a QWISO was almost the same weight as the dry sift and dry sift doesn't doesn't give the same weight if you extract it so I got more oil than sift from it.
I'm Scottish-Canadian so waste of any kind grinds my gears! Should have heard my old man if you walked out of a room and left a light on.

You took my wording wrongly, i said i only dry sift the unwanted extract sugar trim for kief
I dont dry sift my buds. Thing is in commerical rec/medical they will do this exp when they will make lab tested batches (make sure that sample is prime ) and than use the test and misuse/trick to sell their bud or and have their extracts too. Not me and im just a home grower whos goal is for best quality. They will even pver dry the buds to raise the concentration %
when I’m trimming I will have four filters of where the after trimmed it goes to.I used sugar trim but not sure what you mean by 'unwanted extract sugar trim' . Is that the bits of trim that has a tiny bit of crystal on it but not coated enough to be added to the better stuff?

when I’m trimming I will have four filters of where the after trimmed it goes to.
After plant is hung dried in dark for 14-22 days mind and under 70f whole time and darkness whole time. I will than check moisture content of the bud using a wood moisture meter . once it hits under 15% , i than de-stem it into 5 gal food grade buckets and label the date And put a bodega cell/ two way humidity control cell.
after de-stemmed and in harvest buckets. when I get to trimming it I use a trim container/“trim bin “ when trimming it will than go into follow:
1. Trimmed product
2. Stems and un sugar trim/ not worthy of dry sift/hash extraction
3. sugar trim aka any leaf that has worthy extraction
4. untrimmable/not worth it buds ( labeled and used for rosin/rso/edibles)
I use a trim bin for hand trimming with a head mountable led illuminated magnifier (1x-3x) and this makes it so I can physically lift the leafs and examine what quality goes into what bin . doing this method Makes it so I don’t over abuse my buds, I also always make my buds before trimmed on a stem so I never touch the buds even when trimming and I can twirl the bud while holding it and make it perfect no matter how hard the bud is to do . than when done I cut off the bud into “1” and any stems or small nugs or w/e get put accordly. Everything I do is kept under 60f form dry-cure and in 100% light for whole process. i also make sure I’m drying at min 14-21 days and having the buds on the stem gurateed a longer drying time as well.
before when I trimmed for others they woild throw the whole trimmed batches that wasn’t the flower into one tout and also k noitced some major flaws in enviroment they dried, way they processed but also storage. it’s if not the most flawed part of cannabis and this is why wine to cigars, it’s a art and even if u have best cannabis it takes a flaw or bad mindset or greed to destroy a very vulnerable product exp terps
i have had a few diff versions but this version of a head mounted light + magnifier which on one charge u can work for hrs without a charge. What I do is have two and let the one I’m not using be charging and always guratee I can run it on high level light. Makes it so u can do precious quality control and spot any obvious bugs, mold issues and contamination. once I started doing that I couldn’t go back cause I measure my trim times and I def could be ,pre precious and get my scissors under the sticky leafs without harming anything.That is almost step-by-step my procedure for trimming but no trim bin. I pull out the wide drawer on my desk, level it with magazines etc then lay a sheet of parchment paper on top. That gives me 32"x14" work surface. Cardboard box on the floor to my left for flipping fans, stems, bugs etc into for going to the compost or burning barrel. Right now I'm trimming my outdoor crop a couple branches at a time because of hand spasms and vision issues so if shit goes sideways I can call it quits without lots of stuff laying around to deal with.
Anyways. I'll snip off a cola or two then start breaking it down from the bottom up. Few dead bugs here and there to brush out as I go and also seed popping if I see them thanks to a hemp farm not far away. With this stuff I just snip off any small leaf ends that don't have sugar and put them to the side for sifting. These are crap so I don't bother doing an extract on them but will get a couple grams sift out of every oz. I'll just leave the sugar leaf on the buds unless putting some aside for toking then they get the full monty.
I have one of those extendable magnifiers but that slows me down from a stroll to a crawl so just a desk lamp right over top for lots of light. I just grab my big magnifying glass if I need to really take a closer look. I think it's 3X with a small 5X one at the bottom.
These plants got hosed off as I chopped them down then hung up in the carport for about a week then I draped clear, unscented trash bags over them to help slow the drying for a few more days then took them down to the basement to hang as I work the next month trimming them all. Low RH here as winter closes in and the basement is a steady 60F and 55%rh. I closed the bottom of the bags while the buds were still soft but all the fans and other leaves were crispy dry. Daily inspection to check for mould.
My indoor ones get harvested in stages right off the plant so I trim up the good buds for toking then put those in doubled up paper bags and dry them over 3 - 5 weeks in the basement then into cans for burping for another month. They turn a nice golden colour and smell so good. Smoke smooth as hell too.
These days it's all about meds for me. Small hits in my pipe for a quick mood change but everything else gets made into edibles like chocolates or gummies, (yet to do gummies but have everything but the cannabis oil to make them med gummies), RSO or topicals.
First I have to make it all into oil tho. Freezer is loaded with the last 3 years of growing and now the outdoors stuff to get ready. Too much like work but I have friends in dire need so it's gotta get done.
