I'm Not F%ckin' around with This Hash Thing Anymore

[fdd2blk]

the secret? I'm sure everyone else would like to know as well. About how much dry weight can you do in one round? I find my mini washer to be too time consuming so I am going to go this route as well. Good job

i use a 5 gallon bag. when the washer drains it is usually 4 full 5 gallon buckets. i have an empty bucket with my bag in it. i pour about half of one bucket into it. half at most. then i GENTLY swish the bag back and forth up and down as i lift ever so slightly. if you feel resistance as you lift you are lifting to hard. you want to "sift" the screen thru the water as it raises to the surface on it's own. go as slow as possible and it will become faster then going fast.

it takes patience and focus to do it properly. i have sat side-by-side with people and tried to show them and all they want to do is try to push it thru even harder. once the trichs lay upon the screen it's clogged. you have to keep them suspended and agitated so they don't rest upon the screen. it's an "advanced technique".

i sit on a small stool with the bucket on the floor between my knees.

Does anyone know how to make full melt hash? I've experimented with the bubble bags and it's not TOO much of a pain in the ass, but would LOVE to find out how to make something a little more potent without having to use butane or anything....the thought of exploding doesn't make me smile, you know?

Nice info and I will try that next time. Sounds like panning for gold. I always try and squeeze them out. Would it be a little faster/easier to still use the 45 micron bag first just to get the majority of it off first then go to the 25? I assume you have done it both ways and yours works better but thought I'd ask anyway. About how much dry shake weight are you able to put in in one cycle? If you arent sure how about that how about the dry yield of final product per round. I think my bubbleator I use about 300 grams dry shake and end up with about 20-30 grams finished product and I do 4 full rounds in it. Not much on the fourth but I like to get it all =)

i think your idea might hold some validity. i never really thought to use 2 bags to actually speed things up. please report back if you try it.

i use about 1000 - 1500 grams of trim per run. i have pulled as much as 200 grams of finished product in 1 run. it's usually around 150 though.

Why use the 25 "as all it catches is the small unformed heads and that are made up of more of the outer casing which contains more volatile compounds" (subcool: 05-29-2010). A little more information on what this to clarify what i mean " outer casing that holds the resin heads is some pretty volatile stuff. The resin inself is held in kind of a capsule and the large swollen heads have more resin,terpins and THC and less casing. The smaller heads contain less of the good more of the bad that's why 45 UI and below tends to flame up".(subcool:05-29-2010) After looking into this and studying up on it a little. Everything point to this being correct. Would like your .02 cents on this only as you proved to know your shit. Thanks.

i don't like being wasteful. if you separate out all the prime stuff what do you do with the rest?

it smokes just as good either way.

its hard but its so worth it!!!! Smoke is damn strong!!!

Sure no problem. I think it would make a big difference as it goes through the 45 bag really easily and grabs most of the trichs. Need to go get a new machine first. Dont think my wife would appreciate me doing this in her Maytag Neptune lol. Wow so you can do about 3-4 times the most I ever could us in my little machine that is awsome. I am so behind in hash making it isnt even funny. I still have my outdoor shake from last year ! 200 grams dried ? By run do you mean running that same bag through the machine only once or do you mean running that same bag multiple times to get it all out ? I could only muster 10% and that was running same bag 4 times to get it all out. I guess that is close to what you are getting. Need to shop for a new washer !

i do 3 rinses per load.

How long do you agitate the water and what cycle ? Edit : NM looks like you run a rinse cycle. You posted that before I hit reply button.

i agitate it for 18 mins. i'm not sure exactly what cycle it is. it's gently enough that i can agitate it repeatedly, until the water comes out clear.

why not just make honey oil it is by far the easyist way to get pure thc

i do that as well. i also make keif and butter.

Well FDD I'll be making bubble hash tomorrow. I'm leaving for Cali this Saturday so I gotta git-r-done. The whole house smells like pot and I have a heater and fan on the a spare bedroom where the buds are strung up. I hope to be able to grow some California monster trees next year!!

use the 220 to mix in. use the 125 to strain out the heavy particles. use the 25 to catch your trichs.

Or use the BubblenowXL to agitate with the supplied work bag.

I also prefer to use the 190 micron bag as the first screen instead of the 220.

IMO the 25 micron bag is worthless unless you are growing tiny mature trichomes. I MUCH prefer the 45 to catch.

125 or 160 micron bags work well to strain out the larger particles, depending on genetics and how well the Cannabis was grown. Cutting off at 125 is too low for some strains that have larger trichomes (ie Blackberry Kush), or for most really well grown indoor. Either way the 125 (or 160) to 190 (or 220) micron fraction can be used for cooking, aka the heavy particulates.

Pictured is some veganic blackberry kush, 45 to 160 microns.
Some Lilikoi, 45 to 160
Some blue dream 45 to 160

the 220 i use is a zipper bag that goes into the machine.

the 125 catches any contaminants.

the 25 catches ALL the trichs.


not much more to it, for me.

nice set of posts, man... very interesting...

Doing bubble hash today FDD. I'm waiting on the ice to melt to do my second wash.

Your gonna need that ice to break off those thricomes.

 

[potpimp]

I had already mixed it for 15 minutes with the ice and water and done my first run. I just let the ice melt to make it easier for the second and third runs. I only got 8 grams of hash total. I was expecting a lot more, considering that I had put a lot of popcorn buds in with the sweet leaf. Oh well...
