Hello everyone, my State [Michigan] recently enacted a Medical Marijuana Program. One of the stipulations to remain within the law is: a maximum of twelve plants (any root, equates to a plant).
This I feel is in contradiction with another rule, possession of no more than 2.5 ounces of 'usable' marijuana at any one time.
Now, I live alone and intend to grow my own marijuana.
Currently I do not have a light system that could accommodate 12 plants.
If I did, as many people may, it's almost impossible to believe that you could grow 6-8-10-12 plants through harvest & curing and, end up with under 2.5 ounces of 'usable' product.
I've been told that, it's not usable until it's removed from the hanging/drying stalk but, that plant still counts towards your 12 total plants.

So, I thought it would be best for me if I were to harvest the plants and, upon being dried, convert the entire harvest to Hashish. This would still qualify as 'usable' marijuana yet, in a concentrated form.

I've reviewed many of the articles that offer practices such as Water curing, BubbleHash, Kief and was never really satisfied with the amount of expense and effort needed. I've been working on an invention that might make this process easier for patients and I'm really close to completing it.
I only need a good harvest so as to test my machine but, here's a hint that you might apply on your own.

Quote:

The electrostatic collection of the resin spheres from dried marijuana plants with plenty of ripe seeds has been for hundreds of years the method indigenous people of North Africa and Lebanon have used to make hashish. Obtain a round metal can 8" or so in diameter x 3" or so in depth (the kind that cookies come in) with a smooth lid. Obtain 2 ounces of dried marijuana with plenty of ripe seeds in the tops. To remove the seeds and stems, sift the marijuana tops through a 10-hole-to-the-inch wire kitchen strainer into the can. Close the can with the lid and vigorously shake the closed can three or four times. This gives the resin spheres an excess negative charge. Let the can sit for a moment and then remove the lid. Opposites attract. The negative-charged resin spheres have been attracted to the metal surface of the can and lid which has a positive charge. Take a matchbook cover or credit card and draw the edge across the surface of the lid. Note the collected powder. Observed under 300X magnification, the collected powder from this "shake" is composed of resin spheres with an occasional non-glandular trichome. As the marijuana is shaken again and again, and more of the yellow resin spheres are removed from the plant material, the collected powder gradually becomes green-colored as the number of non-glandular trichomes increases in the collected powder. The greener the powder, the less the effect.

Hope this has helped someone extend their yields and increases your health.

Hi Richard is it kief collection you are reffering to? I found a video posted by 4everhydro from this site you might like. It is pretty basic and easy I hope it helps.

How to make hash ! Fast cheap and easy way for hashish transformation

While that was very interesting, it's a bit crude and allows for non-THC trich's to sift through. The method I am using deals with the fact that the trich's are negatively charged and stick to the metal container, completely separating the pure trich heads from the Kief.

I do like the ease of the press and baking method though !
I may give this a try with the shake left over from my experiment ;>}

Richard I re read your post and it does sound interesting I would love to see a visual to get it better. Maybe you could take a pic or vid while doing it? Thanks.
