i use the spin cycle in the washer. but when it starts to rinse it shots out hose water which is not cold enough. it actually makes the trichs sticky because of it's temps. sticky trichs in the machine are bad. if i could find a way to pour ice cold water in while it spin rinses then i might be on to something.

i dont know what type of washer that is...but most top loaders have a cut out switch behind holes that you fix your lid at.(cos for some reason children jump into these things while working) we sometimes alter them for the women that want to put direct hot water inside the drum while spinning

my guess would be that once the lid is open you could put cold water from the top of the machine while its spinning...thus having fresh cold water constantly

what im wondering is can u use fresh picked weed i mean the water makes it wet again so u should be able to right

pick a fresh green leaf and put it on your tongue
you will see that the resin does not come off so i guess the reason to freeze or dry it would be for the resin to be helped out of the leaf

does it really matter if you use the single tub cheap machine and the top loader in terms of extraction?

or did you switch to the big loader for bigger production?

hey fdd, great thread, I got a couple of quick questions for you:

1. I believe u said the bag u put in the machine is 220 microns? Is there any reason not to use something smaller? From what I've read most trichs dont get much bigger than 120 mics. Do you think using something as small as a 150 mic bag would work?

2. How many microns is the pressing screen? If you didnt have one, what would you do instead for that step? Just go straight to squeezing with the gloves?

Great thread man Thanks!

Oh, also, if a 35 mic screen is used at the end instead of 23, will you lose much of the final product?

Do you wash your trim just once or does it get more?

i've changed some things. i don't press it wet anymore. i use a 220 bag because that's what they sell. they say the best trichs come out of the 70 bag so anything smaller is just a bonus, i feel. you catch a lot of the broken heads in the 35 and 23 bags. i have a 1 gallon 8 bags kit that i can use to do smaller "super" seperation if i choose. i found in the end it's best just to mix it all as one. it's all trichomes and it all gets me ripped.

cool thanks for the response. I was asking cuz i just got the set of drawstring bags from here: http://www.filterbag.com/kit.html and the smallest bag they have is 35. I did just finish my first run using a 200 to wash, then a 150, a 75, and a 35. It seems like the 75 bag is gonna be pulling the majority of the trichs, but the 35 looks a lot prettier. Ill probably end up mixing them together, but for now I'd like to try and see if theres a difference.

So, do you wash the trim more than once?

I kept it from my first run and am gonna see if i get anything out of a second wash, but im not very hopeful.
