So i went out and bought 5 gallon 75,120 and 240 micron bags, My girls go lolipopped in the beginning of week 3 so i had about a trashbag full of plant material with small popcorn buds all through it. I froze it all after trim, i got about a gram through the 75 micron bag then i let it sit for 30 miniutes in the 120 but didnt get anything. Im gonna run the 75 again but im curious on what happened there?

barely any time to form trichs

Hey bro.
You're supposed to run it through the larger microns first then to the 120 then finally the 75. Anything larger than 120 micron will stay in the 120 bag and any smaller heads will go through it and into the 75micron bag ... you set the 120 bag in the 75 .... then you set the largest in the 120.
My undwrstanding is that you did it opposite ... correct me if im wrong!

I just ran the 75 alone and then i ran the 120 alone and got nothing, i aggrivated the material for about 5 minutes.

Alright lets see if i understand this correctly.
You have some fresh and frozen material that you aggitated in a bucket with ice and water for some time then ran evwrything through a collecting bag (the 240) then poured the water in the 75 micron bag collecting about a gram of hash ..... then you tried to aggitate the material again and run the water theough the 120 micron bag. Here in this step you didnt get any and you're wondering why. Is this correct?
If this is the case, the its because you probably extracted most of the bigger trichomes using the 75 micron bag (smaller mesh). And now when you tried to run it in the larger micron (larger mesh) you didnt capture anything ... its likely that you still had some more trichomes but were smaller and that after aggitation and running through the 120 micron screen they just went throufh the mesh.
Does this help at all?

Also when you ran the stuff throigh the 75 micron bag, you lost a lot of the smaller triches as they went through the 75 micron mesh. I personally run through 5 bags going all the way down to 45 microns ... although many seperate the different sizes of hash (grades), i personally mix them all. I do know and from experience can tell ya that there is a huge difference in the grades of different sizes trichomes

Yeah i will re run the water through the 75 mic bag to get whatevers left in the water. I just chopped down a blue dream that i put outside pretty late but it still has nugs with frost all over the suger leaves so im gonna run that too its in the freezer right now. thanks for the help.
