Back again with more questions for the crowd...

1) What books on hash does everyone recommend?

2) I've heard of people adding a tiny bit of flavor to their hash...has anyone used liquor? I was thinking a drop or two of really good rum might be interesting...thoughts?

Thanks for any help folks...

If you wanna make good hash use bubble bags cold water extraction. As far as trying to flavor your hash, if you do it right true hash needs no flavering. But use good trim
and good popcorn buds to get good hash. I have noticed the more blonded my Hash the better.

Muchas Gracias budsworth!!

This is my first grow. I'm trying to learn as much as possible...I appreciate the feedback.

Any thoughts on the dry pollen tumblers? Logisitcally, the bubble bags may be difficult for me.

There is a book called CANNIBIS ALCHEMY i'm not sure who wrote it.

Man it is the best. Multiple extraction methods for the advanced and basic chemist. but the way I like to do it is the BHO method. Using food grade butane to purify you hash to make glue. beautiful amber glue. You can also make black hash with your left-over green matter. also scissor cheese is my favorite when you scrape the glue off the scissors after a nice sticky harvest, or trim. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I've been using both the bubble bags and dry screening, and each has it's 'high' points. The bags are easy to use, you can go through the material pretty quickly, and the end product is excellent -- plus it's cleaner of contaminants (dirt, bugs like gnats, etc.) PLUS, you end up with different grades of material.

The dry screen method however, has much more flavor and smell to it. The H2O washes away some of the terpenes responsible for much of the smell.

Flavoring hash is something I've not read about in any books. The flavor of herb seems to come from the plant genetics, the grower's skill, the dry/cure and little else. Some think that pressing the hash or freed trichomes helps with the flavor. IMHO it's inconsequential. Alcohol is a solvent when put together with trichomes, so it may be more than you bargain for to help with flavor.

Ed Rosenthal's book Trash to Stash is a good one for making the most of your trim and leftovers. There are several online directions that'll get you there. Rewmember, if you use bags let the mixed material sit for a good 1/2 hour before removing the bags and straining the headies out.

Thanks SlowTwitch...

So, the H20 thing isn't as difficult or messy as it sounds? I have limited space and stealth is important.

I thought a tumbler might be easier since the cuttings go in, tumble, and then you scrap up the crystals...and press.

Could bubble bags be used easily in a small kitchen? How long does the process usually take if I have 4-6 medium size plants trimmed up?

Really appreciate the help...
