please do not post in this thread until you see the happy plumber!!
thank you



this may get a little long so please bear with me and hold all comments until the end. i'm in the middle of a big run and am posting this while making bubble hash.


getting started; here is what you will need.

1 bubbleator hash machine.

3 hash bags: Green - 129 microns, Blue - 70 microns, White - 23 microns

3 5 gallon buckets - NEW

3 2 gallon buckets - NEW

a lot of ice, i'm starting with 80 lbs. i have a long afternoon

1 turkacado sandwich

1 bags of nacho cheese Bugles

Shasta cola

1 pressing screen

a couple of CLEAN towels

a hooka

friends who flake

a spoon

a plastic piece of firm card

water


i think that's it.

i forgot the most important thing. a bunch of dried trim.


now we got it.










i gotta go dump my buckets. brb

step 1:


mixing equal parts ice to water fill the machine to the desired level.



once full start timer for 5 mins to chill the water.



after water is chilled place the first largest meshed zipper bag on top of mixture. i do this so any trichrome heads that fall thru the bag while loading do not end up on the floor but in the machine.




zip it up.

i will take a moment to discuss trimmings. drying is a key element. to wet and it becomes bulky and the trichromes are somewhat harder the remove. to dry and it becomes to powdery cause a lot of impurities to make it into the final product. you want it dry yet "tearable". not crumbly. the trim we are using today is from an outside source so it is somewhat on the very dry side.

also when working with the finished product during the pressing stage wetter trichromes are MUCH stickier and hard to work with. drier trichromes are not sticky enough to stay molded together.

it is a fine line for both of these factors. i make it look easy but it is not. i have 100's of hours of trial and error put in to this.

step 2: push the bag into the mixture. turn it on. i go 12 mins. watch it change to color of the water and start to froth up. mmmmmmmmm. i reach in here and there and shake the bag around to mix up the trim in the bag. we are basically washing the THC off of our weed. like doing fine linens.

where was i?

step 3:

place the blue bag inside 1 of the five gallon buckets. place the green bag mounted on the board inside the blue bag and bucket. using the drain nozzle on the side of the machine drain the run off thru the first 2 bags.

step 4:

remove the green bag. this is waste to me. with the volume i running it is not worth it to deal with it at this time. it does hold a lot of trichromes but there is a lot of debri also. some say it is great for cooking with.

step 5:

slowly lift the blue bag. i wiggle and jiggle it to get all the trichromes into the center.



now simply turn it inside-out over the top of 1 of the 2 gallon buckets. this is your larger trichrome heads. i will mix these with the next step in the end but i run them thru here now to judge the grade of the white bag. i don't empty the trichromes out after every run and i don't want to mix impurities with my hash. so if i see any impurities in the blue bag i know i have completed that run. this usually occurs after the third rinse.

step 6, the gold:

now take the water that drained thru the first 2 bags. this is liquid gold. do not trip and spill it. i haven't, yet. pour it into the white bag which is inside another 5 gallon bucket.




now hang that bag. the trichromes are going to clog the screen because of the weight of the water on them. they sink so they get caught in the mesh. i like to lightly spank the bottom of my bag to keep the trichromes off the screen. not to rough or it gets everywhere. once the water is drained you have the final product left in the bag. dump the remaining water on your lawn.

step 7:

eat the sandwich.

step 8:


place the bag over a small cereal bowl and turn inside-out.




scrape off trichromes and place on the pressing screen which sits atop the towel.



fold over and press.
