Thanks guys, i can start with a 100/120 then take it from there, if it's worth it i can buy further screens, anything better than hand shaken is fine with me.

The last dry sift i made tasted like a joint that's something I'd smoke, I've still not gotten stoned from the last batch of bubble i made, I'm told it's good but i like bud best.

I've meant to put a couple of grams into a yogurt but I've never got around to it yet.

Eta...I was planning on making a big slab of hash when it got frosty, it's easier with freezing water on tap.

When I thought about i concluded fk me its fkng jail bait, jeezo i don't even smoke hash, well it wouldn't be my 1st choice.

I collected most of it and dumped the lot.

That's a true story!

Bubble isnt decarbed like you do with dry sift the same way thats why imo dry sift is better if you do it right course then its hash do it wrong its just pressed kief you need to seperate the resin heads from the stalks and press them all together n mash em up some heat helps tbh best method if found is frenchys glass bottle hash method theres vids on youtube about it theres defo something to it theres a vid of some afghani guys making first press garda on youtube thats worth a watch they make that via hand pressing sieved resin then heating it n working it for ages they wet it a lil to help it along and heat it on a wee portable stove thing to decarb

Anyone point me in the right direction for either buying sift screens or ideally making my own? have been surfing and ready made screens seem expensive as fook for what they are, I understand different micron screens for different grade sift ect…
Cheers lads
This might help you out some?
I intend to use a 100/120 bag but I can't get the bag size and micron size i want.

Hey buddy, thanks for your advice and links they're much appreciated.

However, I'm only looking for some basic farmer grade sift.

These days i've not got the enthusiasm to separate heads from stalks etc, I'm looking for the simplest method not to waste my trim etc and it's a good excuse for making a Diy pollen catcher.

I'll enjoy building if nothing else, if it's good I'll probably tweek it then make a 2.0 version :-)...
Or put it down to a loss and chalk it up as experience lol

Cheers mate!

Hey buddy, it's not that it wasn't good enough for me anyone that tried it gave it the thumbs up, I was asked if I could get more of it..I couldn't!

When I 1st made it the smell reminded me of when i 1st started smoking hash with that rich aroma it's really nice but it's shifted to far from bud flavor, it's not that i don't like it, its just not my 1st choice if there's bud available, if i didn't have any bud available I'd be delighted to roll it into a joint.

Dry sift is a different animal altogether iirc it tasted like bud in hash format indeed its a million times better.

Cheers mate.

There are cannabis clubs? I have no idea how that would work, but it sounds like a recipe for getting nicked. Outside of my Wife, my Daughter and my best mate, who lives in Sweden, nobody knows I grow weed.

Wow wtf my dehumidifiers frozen.

I've a bigger dehumidifier I've put in with a 150w tube heater, 150w barely makes a dent but combined with a 430w dehumidifier it's not too bad, 16c and 58%, that will drop after the initial free water is gone but I'll adjust it accordingly.

I've started recirculating the scrubbed air back into the room to conserve the heat and not draw in any moisture at all.

Hi Guys.. Another Uk chap here!

Ive been on here and UK420 for ages but rarely post, Have plenty of geurilla grows and a couple of indoor grows under my belt (pics in my library)
I have not grown for almost a decade! Last using HPS and small LED's... Im hoping to move out soon and get my grow on again so certainly be after some advice in the hopefully near future!

Ive been reduced to buying sh!t from the streets again, £20 for 2 gs of absolute crap. Can't beleive they have the cheek to even name some of the sh!t on offer! Does my head in! I can get decent q's for £60 but its the same old stuff over and over (Ammi and cookies). The stuff i bought last night was £10 a G and isnt even dry! It's the sort of shit you throw away when you grow!

The last couple of years Ive spent Thousands buying bud online, Tbf most of it is banging (so called canadian imports) - but it gets soooo expensive having such a big selection ! Also as its all bitcoin the bank keep getting involved!! Have to tell them im investing.. all this hassle just to get some decent bud...really foooks me off!

As i said im looking to start growing again soon, will start with soil but do want to try my hand at hydro!Last tent was a 5x5 and will prob get the same again but with much better LED's!

Is it possible to get decent cuttings in the UK without belonging to a club? I literally have zero connections..

Hope everyone is enjoying the snow!! Its bitter as hell!

You aint allowed to trade on here unfortunately as it stands best thing u can do is get some good seeds and find your own cuts mate tailored especially to your taste cuts are ok but personally i like to avoid chancing what can come with them plus variety is the spice of life you dont get to see everything growing from cuts as u can tell im biased ig lol just thought id mention before the mods freak out on u bud

Cheers guys, Thanks for the welcome!

Ive always grown from seed , always Fem too but gonna try my hand at Regs this time round, Ive also never taken cuttings so def looking to get into that!!
Im really interested in trying some of the canadian strains ive been smoking from the web, Where would i start? Im a real flavour chaser tbh, anything that tastes great and is moreish is what i want, favourites include discobiscuits - green crack etc but fav ever was a NYCD cut that used to float around my way 15 yrs ago, still up there as the nicest weed ive ever smoked! I remember cuts going for £2000 back then! But i didnt grow then unfortunately! But i can see why cuttings are the way forward once you have a keeper or 2!

Ive been spoilt by the different flavours ive bought online tbh, now most of the street weed taste nasty compared! God i wish I lived in Canada.

Can not wait to start growing again, This time i will be buying a decent controller of some sort and also some decent LED's, looks like they have come a long way since I last used them!

All the best!
