Bubble Hash 1A- Advanced (fdd2blk)

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

Now we have it!







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.






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.


step 9:

wear VINYL gloves (trichromes don't stick to VINYL) i take the press hash and place it in the palm of my hand. using as much force as possible i squeeze and nead, squeeze and nead drying the water off the gloves after each squeeze. this will work the remaining water out of the hash.




this stuff IS the best hash in my opinion.........





put some in the hooka and smoke it!!!!!

Oh yeah you need realplayer. But I think it's a free download and a somewhat useful program, good for the BBC online radio shows. Anyways a really informative watch if you don't know how to use the bubble bags and he talks alot about the "bubble" itself and why it's so great, the dude is way into it. Long though. Hope you enjoy it.

Nice method, never seen that one before, it also looks cool the smoke in the glass, add a tiny black light and that would be the ultimate smoke out, with a light show, thanks for sharing that link, have you ever used knifes?

Nice thread but why the machine? here's the same technique without a machine,

http://www.marijuanapassion.com/How_To_Make_BubbleHash.html



Please give us something we can actually watch, you have to download this file.


did you read the part where it says "stir for 30 mins"? hand stir with a wooden spoon? no thank you. try making it with lbs of trim, you will understand.:bigjoint:


blenders and spoons break up plant matter when over stirred.
i can use the machine and continue "washing" my weed until the water comes out clear. when the water is clear i know i have gotten all my trichromes. when stirring by hand the water starts to turn green if over-stirred. this is plant matter contaminating your hash.





the title clearly states "ADVANCED". :mrgreen::blsmoke:

That sandwich is making me really hungry. Looking through the thread i find myself scrolling back and just staring at it.

I look forward to making my own hash after my first successful grow this winter.

Yeah I guess that would make it much easier and better (your hash turned out SWEET! Looking) what does a machine like that cost and where could one be found?

i got mine at everybodydoesit. it was wired for 240 though. european plug. i had to do some re-wiring. they make one for the US i just ordered the wrong model. my buddy made his own zipper bags and used his washing machine at home. the big maytag.:hump::hump: i'm thinking of buying a small apartment sized washing machine. all you need to do is make some screen bags. my buddy used wedding veil material. use the gentle cycle and just run the drain hose thru my bags.:blsmoke:

Thanks for the info, I see those stackable washer and dryers everywhere I could probably get a small washer around a hundred bucks, but until then do you think I could use an old ice cream maker for small batches?

that might work. the main thing is to be gentle and VERY cold water. lotsa ice.:mrgreen:

Thanks again!

I know this thread is ancient but it's rather difficult to find a discussion of making hash with an ice cream maker and I'm posting this for the next guy looking for this info. I thought of using an ice cream maker but it didn't work. Inside an ice cream maker the liquid and the "paddle" are stationary, the can revolves and the "paddle" scrapes the frozen cream from it's surface as it turns. Put leaves inside with ice and they just sit there as the can revolves. It's counter intuitive.
