uncle buck sets out to make hash.

whichever moderator moves this to the concentrates and extracts section is dead to me.

so i have (x3) 5 gallon buckets. 220, 120, 90, and 45 micron bubble bags which i just paid a shitload for. 30 pounds of ice, 3 gallons of distilled (0 ppm) water, an ice chest, different types of agitators, a drying rack, and 5 ounces of top shelf very close sugar leaf trim.

apparently i'm supposed to layer the ice and trim inside the 220 bag (work bag) inside the 5 gallon bucket, add cold water, let it sit a few minutes, and then agitate it.

for the first run, just agitate for a few minutes, drain the work bag and set aside (in ice chest for good keeping). dump the water carefully into the layered 120/90/45 micron bags, and drain/remove the bags one by one.

and boom, should be some hash at the bottom of the bags which you then collect.scrape onto the drying rack.

maybe do a second run with greater agitation for a longer time, same process.

@Garden Boss , how badly am i gonna fail?

@Pinworm , will i end up just stomping it down the drain?

@mr sunshine , i am more mexican than you are.

Nah, it's simple. I was pretty surprised how well I did on my first run. You should nail it.

Consider dry ice. I get good results with it.

What's the end product like? I.e appearance, texture, physical traits.

I've been making a crude qwizo outta my trim; brown tar but it keeps me sane and marginally socially acceptable

if done right, it should be golden/blond.

it looks like (from what little research i've done) it may turn out greenish or brownish if you suck at it.

no idea about texture or other characteristics.

Ive never tried it with that little product. It will be good just not much of it.

isn't the return around 10% or so?

so 150 grams of trim = roughly half an ounce of hash?

I think it depends on the plant. I'll show you how to make hash.

by all means, i am here to be educated.

@Diabolical666 is way knowledgeable about this stuff. @chewberto is a pro too.

Freeze material first.
Dont blend in your bag. Blend in a bucket then pour into bags.
Stir gently with a wooden spoon for a low yield of blonde bubble full melt.
Or
Stir the fuck out of it for max yield of harsh brick.

You're gonna fuck it up.

I found that dried popcorn and trimmings work better than freezing.

I guess we differ.

I do 200gram runs. I usually get about 28 grams from good trim.

I use a washing machine/s and run for 1hr(4-15 min. cycles)per batch. Zero greenery in my product.

How much are we dealing with? Get some good bags they are usually inexpensive. make sure you clean them between runs.

Hey dude,
Just to clarify, I only use my indoor trim. And no fan leaves.

little over 5 ounces of really close in sugar leaf. i paid a shit ton for these bags because i heard that was super important from my reading on RIU.

If we are talking about ice, water, buckets and spoons I think we are on the same page.
