So I’m trying something new. I don’t have a freeze dryer and probably never could afford one. However i took down a plant and put the fresh trim full of Trichomes in the freezer. I also put my dry sift tumbler in the freezer and once everything was cold i put the trim in the tumbler then let it run for awhile (still in the freezer). I harvested a bunch of beautiful fresh Trichomes. My question is how can i dry these enough to press into a hash ball or press into rosin? Once i take the kief out of the freeze it instantly starts to warm up and it becomes a sticky unruly blob of goodness.

Dry ice, frozen bud, 5 quarters and place in a micron bag #75, shake over a mirror. Scrape all the dust up into a pile. Now you have dry ice hash…

You can dump all your kief directly onto parchment paper in a pile, fold the parchment paper over and then roll a wine bottle full of hot water over it for ten or fifteen minutes. Put it back in the freezer over night and it should be ready to go in the morning.
Or you can make temple balls. Just roll the kief in your fingers for a while until it all balls up. They’ll still be fairly sticky but you can put it in a silicon container and throw some on a bowl or roll a spliff with it.
Lots of ways to utilize the kief you’ve collected and they’re all good

I thought I’d have to dry it out a bit because they are fresh Trichomes. Isn’t there some water content in fresh trichs that needs to be slightly dried before doing this?
