Hi all

So my second time extracting and pressing hash. After my first batch was sooooooo loved by close friends im becoming more into it, though even more into making it. More specifically pressing. I could press hash all day long just for fun. Its fucking amazing.

Trim was bone dry, not fresh like last time. I personally cant see much of a difference in quality? I do notice that with the dry trim it was easier hence less washes to completion. It took me 9 washes, and i could have easily done 2 or 3 more but ran out o ice. I was in shock with how much hash was staying in the bag wash after wash, fucking unreal.

Anyways heres a bit i pressed 6 or 7 times cant remember, slowly and surely. Also noticed how after the 3rd or 4th press the overall size kinda diminished by 5% or so, as if it was more compacted. The quality of the pic isnt the best but the colour of that hash is absolutely gorgeous., a lighter brown very homogenous plasticine looking. I love how it looks! Im pretty proud today, plus im realiuzing how much i love pressing hash!

What is the minimum curing period you fussy hash smokers allow your hash to have?
I mostly smoke hash on top of some weed on the bong, rarely roll a joint with weed and mix it in. How do you guys smoke it?
What makes the best extraction fresh trim or dry and why in your opinion?

Thanks

nice!!!! what does it taste like??
Well it smells like a copy cat of the strain, just a bit hashy if you know what i mean. It was a pollen chuck i made and the line came out smelling like a peachy jelly, im very hapopy with it. I call it Sunny Delight.
Ive not actually tried it yet because i want to try it after you guys tell me what a decent curing time is and let it do so propperly.

Fresh trim for me always is best! Less decarboxilation and terp degradation that way....makes a nicer, oily extract as well ime!!
As far as smoking, I like it on top of a minimal base of flowers thru my double perc tube, as well as as dabbing, and topping joints! Lit with hempwick =nom nom good!!

I do think that last time was oilier you know... How do you go about if you have huge amounts trim? Do you just bubble it as you can? As in you have 6 days worth of trim to eaxtract. By day 3 will be drier than day 1, do you use half dry trim? or do you use strictly fresh, a day or two after cutting? Or do you do what you can fresh and then wait for it to dry and extract then.

I have a dabber, how would you dab the hash? same way as the oil? I thought about trying before but thought it wouldnt work the way i invisioned it.

I try to run as close to 4 zips as I can I my wash machine bag, so I can get thru material efficiently. For I storage I like turkey bags, but I always prefer and get the best extract when it's under 2 weeks. If material drys I like to rehydrate in machine before run. Duration will be based on dryness, but usually around 10-20 mins.

Fresh is always best. Terps, flavanoids, and appearance are always better expressed!! Bust it out while it fresh- can't mimic it no matter what you do; even rehydrating.

As far as dabbing same, just get the nail slightly hotter. It will leave more behind, bot no bigs to me...

Great job Klite!

Couldn't agree more on the pressing process, it truly is an epic transformation...
The way the aroma changes while pressing.. Can't be understood unless one has experienced it firsthand.

Personally, my best results come from dried and cured close sugar trim and larf buds.

As you pointed out, it is important to let the material hydrate for about 10 minutes before agitating.

The longer the cure, the better...
I love at least 4 weeks, but if you can make it to 6 months ...PLEASE try it.....

I have zero evidence on the why...

But I can confidently say the 6 month cure,does some magical things to the hash, flavor,Aroma and the high itself are all heightened.

Again, thanks for sharing.. Happy hashing!!
