Introduction
Cannabis dry sift screens are essential tools for separating trichomes from plant material. The micron size of the screen determines the size of particles that pass through, affecting the final product's quality.

Understanding Micron Sizes
Micron sizes range from 20 to 500, with smaller numbers indicating finer screens. A 20-micron screen captures larger particles, while a 500-micron screen allows for coarser material to pass through.

Impact on Potency
Smaller micron sizes, like 20 or 40, result in a higher potency product as they capture more trichomes. Larger micron sizes, such as 100 or 150, may reduce potency but are better for creating hash or kief.
Impact on Purity
Finer screens improve purity by removing plant material and leaves. However, they can also trap trichome heads, which are the most potent part of the cannabis plant.
Choosing the Right Screen
Selecting the appropriate micron size depends on your goals. For high-potency extracts, use a finer screen. For purity, opt for a finer screen. For creating hash or kief, use a larger micron size.
