screen. After the process is finished the
screen can be patted down to shake any powder
that is stuck in the pours.
Flat Metal Screening:
This is done much like the flat silk screen
method but before the flat silk is used the bud
will go through a metal grating process. The
metal grate is usually made from tough nylon or
stainless steel and is of equal proportions in
pour size to the silk screen. By first using
the metal grate we can remove more matter from
the bud than the single silk screen would do.
The bud matter that passes through the metal
screen can then be sieved through the silk
screen by shaking the screen back and forth
over a glass surface. You can end up with 2
grades of sieved bud residue this way. The silk
screening should produce mostly trichomes.
Multiple Screening Method:
This is a refined version of the above two
methods. Several screens can be used in this
method but the average is four of five. Each
screen running from start to finish should have
a different micron measurement starting from
the largest and running down to the smallest
silk screen. The bud matter is sieved through
the first screen and then down onto the second
screen. The process is repeated picking up and
