Man, I'm glad I switched over to keeping the (trash ? different terms, not sure what y'all use .. hell, I don't even really use a word for it) left over after breaking up my Roman greens. I've never liked using grinders but was always curious about how folks would keep the "kief" ... I would always just try my best to scrape it up off whatever surface I used.
But yeah, for a while now I've been keeping the trash collected in a separate bag, and I mean for months and months at a time so the friction of being mooshed together in a bag that I tried to keep tightly wrapped, and of course gravity, and all the thc crystals eventually wind up on the bottom. So then I use a homemade colander to separate the fiber (stems) from the crystals.
I've talked about this with
@Gutter Chris before, I've been borrowing his term "dragon sand" lol ... but man, this latest batch, I've been using it to supplement my last actual buds ... stretched out what should have lasted a day to last like 3 days. And I still have so much left. Helps that this time I was refreshing/re-moisturizing it before using it, so it wouldn't just immediately evaporate (works for regular buds too ... if it's dried out and burning too fast, toss a small piece of like orange peel in the bag, keep it sealed up for a couple hours ... power of osmosis refreshes your buds. Science, bitch !).
I think after I clear this out I'm gonna take (most of) the rest of January from smoking up tho. This is the longest stretch I've gone without a break in several years I think. Gonna give the lungs a rest and come back strong.
