No problem!, thanks for interjecting as I almost lost track of this thread(seems this message board server is always down when I login during the morning). Looks like Weez has a pretty solid system going, I'm not quite that sophisticated yet. What I have tried(and this seems to take some practice)has been successful to a point. The silkscreen method is very labor intensive and takes a lot of weed. I then tried the blender/ice method, which works very well for smaller quantities.

What I have noticed is that trichomes are very easily disturbed, you can't just pick up a filtered blender smoothie and pour the water off the top as some would recommend. The water *must* be siphoned or you will lose the end product.

In a few weeks, I'll need a pump upon harvesting.

Regards,

Biz

Sunbiz, hope you don't mind -- I think we should pick Weez's brain about this a bit.

Weezard, would you show us the spigot for the top bucket? Is this a DIY job on a "Homer" bucket or something premade? Could you maybe use an Igloo water cooler? (insulated already, has a (tiny) spigot)

And could you elaborate a bit about the aquarium pump? (style/capacity) That's a pretty healthy return flow you've got going back to the top bucket. As slow as the bubblebags drain, seems like the pump might run dry. (?) Is that a problem? Sorry for my ignorance, but I was a poor kid and never had an aquarium. All I had was a stinky turtle. Other kids gettin' neons, guppies...all I got was salmonella. Don't know NOTHIN' about no fancy-ass aquarium pump.

And you are agitating your mush inside the work bag with the paint paddle, yes? (Risking snarling up that bag if you're not careful, is what I'm asking...)

Thanks in advance. This looks like a great way to rinse every last trichome out of the mush without having to run 20 gallons of water through the sieving system. :thumbsup:
