I like to do my bubble bags with dry trim .....even better when you stick it in the freezer inside a ziplock over night ......run it twice if you do big batches
It's all in what you enjoy ....I get rid of large fans first ....then I do a rough trim into a cardboard box ....dry it for 4 to 6 days then I do final trim into another container ....once .....then into the freezer all my trim goes in large zip lock bags then I just have a hash making party with my personal family ...brothers etc
I trimmed up all my bigger fan leaves last night after chopping her down even though they probably don't have any trichomes on them I saved them and put them in the freezer because it won't hurt to run it through the bags just in case there is some trichs on the stems. I left the smaller leaves that have trichomes and all the sugar leaves on. Tomorrow night it will have been hanging for 48hours so I'll pull it down and do a final trim/manicure and also take off whatever small under developed popcorns that aren't worth saving and freeze them over night. Thursday morning I'll run it all through my bags.
I'm hanging for much more than two days. The method of drying I'm going with is, removing all the larger fan leaves and hanging the whole plant with all the medium sized/small fan leaves and sugar leaves on for 48 hours in the dark with a fan blowing under them. After 48 hours I will take it down and do a final trim/manicure of the remaining fan/sugar leaves and then separate the plant by branch. After doing that I will hang the branches individually again in the dark with a fan moving air around for another 5 days give or take depending on how fast they are drying. Slow and steady wins the race. So in total it will be hang drying for at least 7 days maybe longer.
Why tho the 73 micron doesn't melt properly even if you rejuvenate the resin you go from full melt bubble to rosin pressing it or bowl packer or edible grade. Fresh frozen makes best hash hands down need any tips just ask I make it all regularly bout to take a half pound Kandy Kush plant cut it down use it whole for full melt lol I make a lot of hash of every type except co2 and propane
I guess I'm not using 100% fresh but not really that dry either. As the leaves won't be dry dry after just 48hours of hanging upside down. So my hash should be somewhere in the middle between the best and good I guess? Lol the bubble bags I grabbed is a 5 bag system. The guy at the hydro shop told me the 8 bag system is kinda pointless and that the 5 bag system gets the job done just as good. And is almost half the cost. I would like to do wax as I've never dabbed and hear it's the bees knees lmao just don't wanna be smoking butane. Also the only reason I'm trying this drying method is because This is my first harvest and I came across this video and this is how the guy did it and he seemed to know his shit so just experimenting I guess.
Yeah some people trim everything as soon as they chop
The fan leaves I did clip are in the freezer after my final trim tomorrow night they'll go in the freezer too for the night. My question is, is does it not matter what strain you use will it always be the same potency? Or will the potency change depending on the strain used? My indoor I'm starting next month I would like to do a plant for smoke and 1 plant for just hash or hash and wax etc. I've tried oil that was in an e cigarette tip and really wasn't a fan it didn't really get me that stoned.
