    you only plan on using 1 bag??!

    reminds me of this guy I knew who bought a 2 bag set... wtf?!

    the 1 bag was his work bag. the other one caught all the junk like 190 micron stuff. which he kept, then poured everything else 190 micron and smaller down the drain!!!!! I couldnt believe it lol. said all he got was green goo. lmao.

    so yeah. if youre using just a 90 micron bag. I would say no.dont know if too many people around here have done too many dry ice extractions?

    You only use one bag with dry ice its more like a kief siv rather than water bag. the dry ice keeps the trychs cold so they don't stick to shit thats all.

    i wish i could help, im about to try it myself and was going to try to work with the wet plant material, if you've already done it either way some advice on it would be cool if you know anything more about it.

    I've done dry ice...yep only one bag. But i have contemplated using multiple screens just sieving from a small bag into a larger volume bag so it would be easier. Say from a 1gal-220micron to a 5gal-90micron. If i make dry ice hash again it will be with a 76micron bag...maybe larger to increase yield a wee bit with addition of more plant material in the final product, then i would do a BHO soak in a pre chilled thermos with the left over beaten up material...lots to extract out of that still. I would also winterize the BHO extraction to further purge/purify.

    BUT! since you are about to run out of nug and just was something to smoke in the mean time. I would suggest using one of your larger bubble bags, i've used a 220micron before and come up with a pretty large yield but it does include a decent bit of plant material...was fine by me at the time, and the addition of a little plant material just made it a more full bodied high.

    I just don't know how well it'll work with super fresh/wet material, i would personally just tell you to do as small of run as you think you'll need to last you till the rest is dry to smoke. Take that material and throw it in the oven at the lowest temp...200F or less and let it really dry out to almost no moisture then perform your run. Keeping in mind the more dry the material the easier it is to make fine particles that may fall through the screen into your final product! mmmmm trying to think if i have any more input for now.....nope

    Save your left over material after sieving, it usually has plenty of smashed trichomes and oil in the material to be extracted via solvents...and because the material is so finely broken up most time i would suggest a method such as BHO due to it doesn't pick up chlorophyll like Iso or Ethanol washes.

    NO! Fresh trims and dry ice will not do. Fresh trims and ice water technic is already a challenge.
    Anyway if you want to kief, DO NOT use dry ice doesn't matter the number of bags. To beat the S... out of your trims will NEVER produce quality.

    you don't have to beat the shit out of your material...i gently gently tap the side and top of jar for best results. but i still don't see myself doing any DIH anytime soon.
