Here is the first pic of my grinder before I clean it.
This is an original Space Case when you could still make paraphenalia in the United States. There are large holes that are now encrusted with resins. Yep, resins, not gunk or guck. Smashed up trichromes. What a mess huh?
So, show me your dirty grinders!
lol, holy shit mate! you need to clean your grinder more often...
Will you get I nice smokes worth, out of what you clean out?
yeah, i fucking bet he will!
I see those around, how do they work? I don't always get high grade stuff so is it worth purchase and relatively easy to use?
(my left hand is not fully functional)
Grinders are definitely worth it. They're easy to use, just put bud in the teeth, place cap, and spin. I guess you could just press it down on your left hand and twist with your right, that should work.
I've got a cool one similar to Art's, but with a screen at the bottom and another chamber underneath. When you grind buds, there's always a little bit of the powder that falls off. So screen lets it go down into another chamber and it collects. Every few weeks, you can collect what's down there and sprinkle it into a joint for some extra-strength! It works really well, just gotta keep it clean with rubbbing alcohol.
His does too its just all gummed up. Ive never seen one so gummy. Thatll make for a nice few bowls.Quote:

Yeah, that is the one I have there. Space Case, it has the pollen collector on the bottom, and it was too full for the picture. I dont want you all to freak out when you see what you can collect from home grown.Quote:

Actually this is one month of use. But it is so hot and humid that the trichromes do not drop, they squeeze into the sides as you see all that grunge is really about 50 percent THC.
Yes, I will show how to clean this, extract the oil and have about a gram or more of it to smoke for a long time. It will have a honey color to it and be translucent in the light. I still have some from the last cleaning. It tastes like the best weed, not like the resin from a bong.
I will show you a jar of pollen to rock your world when I do the cookie bake thing. Even I am amazed at how much I got last winter (about 20 grams per 100 of bud). Season starts in about a month and a half.. yah!
So, get a grinder with a pollen catch, you will love the little hits it gives. And get a light and make some bud! Easy, cheap and you will be the hit of your friends. These good metal ones are costly, but they last. Mine is CONSTANTLY abused and is 2.5 years old now.
holy smokes bullwinkle, we plant them.Quote:

DAMN, why cant we all have some good pot!!!
You don't put the seeds in on purpose of course....but when they do......the grinders dont really mess with them to much.....they just kind of fall out...intact.Quote:

Do any of you ever use keif boxes (not sure about spelling). they look interesting but it looks like the weed would get all dried out.
i dont use one never have i dont get things eith seeds
I think this looks really special... :D :D :D

Yeah, grinders are cool, don't have/want one though, i only smoke out of a pipe, so i don't need to grind:)

I have a honey-dust collector (try googling that). Top bit holds your non-grinded greenery, next bit is the teeth, the bit below that has teeth that mesh with the ones abvoe, but holes between the teeth for the ground weed to fall thru. Weed fallsthru holes into next compartment, the bottom of which is a mesh or screen (or gause if you prefer). Particles of resin/pollen fall thru the screen.
I use HG and its fekking great. When you just have the ground stuff, its dead easy to pick out seeds, but then what you doing making weed with seeds?!
I also found this site....I like the pollen presser on this site better.

iv got an 8 ball grinder would take a picture but 4 sum reason i cnt put pics on this web site wen i press attach nuttin comz up lol
I use a coffee grinder. A couple short pulses is all it takes. Laying down on the button will turn your bud to dust but just be careful. After a few weeks there is always a nice cake of golden crystals to be had at the bottom. I love it when I get the chance to load the other half of a bowl full of kif.

That picture is great
i got loadsa grinders i got a polinator
a pocket grinder
a wooden grinder

can you pack a bowl effectively with ground up weed?
What do yu do with the trichomes? do you leave them in it or do you have to sccop them out every time you grind?
(I know nothing)
is a dedicated grinder the same thing? I want one now what should I look for in a grinder?
Scarlett....this is the one I want to get......

But you don't have to buy the press with it. This is where I have been looking...

I don't like the look of the plastic ones....
Polinator, yeah, that is the next step. Robert, you are prepared. So now you gotta splain what the polinator is.Quote:

The thing about the stainless steel ones is the longevity. While they cost like seventy bucks, they last for years and years. Plus, those capture compartments for the trichromes are brilliant. Next step is the polinator. But you have to have some real bud for that.
I think I am going to get a cheap one to play with see how I like it, then upgrade if I take a fancy to it. :p
Thats what I did......I have a small cheap wooden one.....and I love it.....so I know I'm really gonna love this one....now I'm trying to decide wether I can part with the cash.
Knowing nothing is better than knowing everything. Knowing everything leaves no room for growth. Conscious ignorance leaves room for everything.Quote:

Personally, I do not grind my weed. I think too much plant material is burned this way. Like it or not, our interest is in the active chemicals present in the plant. Burning and inhaling excess chlorophyll does absolutely nothing for me but irritate my throat.
I grind my weed when it is moister than I prefer. If you're weed is fresh, grind it. If it is properly dried and cured, don't. There just isn't any need.
ground up weed packs perfectly but you have to have enough, you cant try to pack one of those '2-3 hits before work' bowls you gotta pack the whole thing :D and it hits sooooo smooooth :cool: heres my grinder its not quite that dirty yet but i hope it gets that way :D gonna wait till the kif catch is almost full and line a few blunts with it
Hey the pollinator catches crsyals and filters them so u get pure kifQuote:

The stainless steel ones are good too they clean well butlike you said they last for years but i found it to b on the smll side
my favourite is my wooden grinder which i mopdified after loosing pins (i cut the heads of nails and hammered it in). Its was my 1st grinder and will b my last :) it holds allot of bud, grinds it perfectly and cost me £3
