You don't want to grind the buds up too fine.
This is what we mean when we say
kief. This sifting technique depends on the fact that trichomes are uniformly tiny in size. Smaller than almost any other material on the plant. Unless you were to grind it into powder.
Another way to sift kief is to exploit the fact that it sinks in water. If you put ground bud in water and agitate it, supposedly the kief will sink to the bottom, but the rest of the plant material will float.
But the important thing is that you just want the kief. Not ground up green.
