Well after scratching my head for a few days as to what to do with the trimmings i took from the old mama early into her life, and the stems from what i've smoked over the last year i decided i'd make some hash.........Or better yet try my hand at it, as i've never made any, and only smoked any a handfull of times, if that.
So this is the Ice water Hash method.
Dunno how many grams/oz of stems there are, or trimmings (plant had not gotten to flower yet, but figured there would be similar amounts as a male plant.)
Anyway
Materials - i really do wish i knew how much material, any guesses?? Stems i'm thinking like 1-2oz if not more, hell i dunno.
Powdered materials - Put into a coffee grinder. Trimmings were also powdered, this picture was taken before powdering.
Next up are the Filters i'm going to use. Left is a gold style filter, using screen mesh to filter plant matter. Right are #4 coffee filters.
And heres where im at right now, letting everything settle, and about to filter water through the screen filter.
So my next step is filtering all the plant material, then slowly siphoning off all excess water as the THC settles at the bottom.
Will update with pictures as things happen.
I hope i end up with something smokable, that'd make me very happy for a first try.
EDIT: Well after letting everything settle, i have a green mush at the bottom, something is horribly wrong. I shouldn't have added the trimmings from my mother plant, after grinding them up i had a thick green paste in my grinder, thought this was ok, but after everything settled, the fine green powder that came from griding up the leaves has all settled to the bottom as well as the trics, after filtering out all the plant material, this green powder mush is still left, even after filtering through the other filter a green mush is still left in the filter.......My coffe grinder basically powdered the leaves to a fine fine mist. This is collecting in the bottom where the trics are collecting, because i can see white/brown/gold/green shades in the light. From what i've read this is right, but what kind of strainging do i need to do now to seperate the heavy greeness from the golden/brown colors. As my water color seems to be somewhat right.
After filtering some through the 2nd coffee filter i'm still left with a greenish water.....And whats left behind is a green goo, dosent taste bad. how do i seperate this green stuff from the trics.....?
This is what i get after straining through the mesh filter for plant matter. At the bottom collects a green mush when all water is siphoned out, and drained through paper coffe filter. Green liquid still sits.
If there is something i can do to fix this anyone?
