yeah man that's pretty much the same sort of machine that we're all using. good luck

holy shit, what a mess we made. first off knock off cheap bags were made with crappy canvas, then they wouldn't fit any of our standard 5 gal. buckets. didn't have a 45micron only 75 and 25 besides the 120 or 160. looks like some decent from the 75 but i didnt' wait to see the 25 since it would take who the hell knows how long to drain. learned a bunch this time. with our hash let dry for a day then grate it up?? to dry for several?

So if i have some sugar leaf that im not ready to run, should i store it the freezer or not? i didn't wanna leave it in the freezer for too long prior to use; if there is such a thing...

Material is fresh and only been off the plants since yesterday.

you either dry/cure it and store it in good bags or jars, or you store it fresh in the freezer IMO.

Matt recommends fresh frozen if quality is your main goal. Just don't freeze it all together in one big bag or you'll way reduce the surface area. I freeze mine on sheets then combine once frozen. Since it will be frozen it will last long enough to run out of IWE and want some more...

Yeah my first half pizzle has been in the freezer *fresh frozen* for 48 hours in a turkey bag and will be run this eve... My freezer is way tooo small to small to store material like this, so that won't work for me; is being exposed to the air ok? Do I still need to soak material before starting the wash when fresh frozen? I thought for maybe a couple mins, but i wasn't sure...

First run with new x-traktor bags and bubble magic machine with some bomb Purple TW starting material-should be a meltathon the next couple weeks!!!

I think its recommended by Matt to freeze a minimum of 24 hours. You should be good to go. I hear you about the freezer space...NO coscto or trader joes runs around harvest time...thank god the neighbor has a kegerator with a freezer full of glasses for one guy. He lets me put my RO ice in there to have space to fresh freeze the trim. I haven't had to field any questions yet either, its summer now I'm sure he'll start to wonder come winter whats with all the ice still! I have thought about getting a mini chest freezer to just freeze fresh trim with plenty of space and make RO ice in, yay more power bill. My current technique involves a stack of custom bent to fit dollar store steel trays with wooden blocks between them, it works for a small harvest but I have to cycle it into the big freezer bag.
Its not necessary to soak fresh frozen like dry trim because it is already hydrated when frozen fresh. I'm unclear about your question about air exposure. With fresh frozen it goes from the trim table to the freezer tray (exposed to air in the freezer during this stage) for 2-3 hours till flash frozen, then into the ziploc for longer storage or to free up space for the next tower o' fresh to flash, then into the insulated machine at ideally 33 degrees. SOOOO PURE! Vegan OG roIWE getting dabbed right now
