i just let it dry in a glass bowl, yesterday i made some with purple urkle and it is super sticky almost full melt but all my sativa hash is waxy hard and crumbly , i suspect its just the strain but nor sure, you'd know better than me thanx
Strain does determine melt. As mentioned earlier: Melt is not an indicator of potency, but of the presence of oil soluble terpenes, which are responsible for part of resin flavor. Indica strains have been selected for a thousand plus years to make good hash, and that is still very true to this day. Cannabis sativa hash is somewhat of a new product, as traditionally C. sativa flowers are smoked and C. indica flowers are turned into dry screen hash.
I'm growing Jack Herer because it gives me a "happy euphoria" that I've found in only this strain, green crack, lilikoi, and strawberry cough. All three of those strains make not-fullmelt hash and give low hash yields... but the high is right. Feel me?
my outdoor sativa came from mexi bagseed,very sativa looking and hits you right in the face,my current grow is green crack, purple kush ,monkey balls, and ijust sprouted 5jack herer and 5 bubblegum, you say youlke greencack and jack hash, have you ever made bubblegum bubblehashStrain does determine melt.

Now it is all mixed up, and most strains (actually varieties but we don't need to go into semantics) are a combination of C. indica and C. sativa genetics. Hash melt is truly a mix-n-match of different genetics. We should start a library of strain and melt quality.
Don't worry about meltyness, it is the affect on your head/body that is the true judge, and we all have unique biochemistry, so varieties affect us differently. If you want full melt, grow indica
No, never grown the gum. Used to see it all the time in "headies" form back east. I just pulled down outdoor purple kush, turned out as expected, smaller plants, typical kush structure, dense buds. The bubble hash is about half melt, decent yield.
Yes, after removing the wet clump it goes on the drying screen. I put a towel underneath, and cover the tray with a silk screen for the night. No pressing or paper towels, the drying will happen next. The next day I have to judge if the hash is ready to break up, it may take an additional 12 hours. If the hash has dried out enough to go from crumbly to an oily mass, then I know it is ready to break up.
YIKES! thats is good to know. The endothermic reaction (makes cold) going on with BHO would surely freeze all H2O in the plant matter, causing swelling... so due to your kind experiment I will say USE DRY HERB FOR BHO
i tried making bho with fresh trim once, apparently it made a plug of ice then shot its load right into my collection dish, sounded like a blackcat and scared the shit out of my friend, he thought we were going to blow up
Haha right on. I can hope the problem is too much quality. Never a bad problem to have!Yes, after removing the wet clump it goes on the drying screen.

When you break it up too early the hash will form smaller clumps and not easily grate. Its all about the right wet/dryness to grate it properly. Like I said before, depending on your household temps this could be overnight or up to 24 hours. I find waiting to break it up is the best way to get the "crystal" form bubble I prefer. Mold won't grow overnight. If it was gumming up the holes your bubble was either too wet or too warm. Sound like you were grating some super high grade 5 minute hand stir... and that might need to be chilled pre-grating as the oil content is very pure.
Your results sound incredible... pics?
It's hard to say because I use wet trim. I would guess 1.5 lbs of trim gave me 40 grams of bubble.
I would not press an hash until you are certain it is dry. At that point there is little reason to press other than long term storage. If you plan on smoking this hash, don't press it, it will only be harder to smoke.
