Franco's Ongoing Grows

Green Cross said:

GenFranco, You're obviously an experienced super-cropper, so I have a question.

It it necessary to make the bends on the woody (fibrous) part of the stem, so that it doesn't snap off completely? I've only tried this a couple times, and soon found myself yelling 4 letter words, so I must me doing something wrong. lol

hehehe... Sorry man... A good thing to do if you want to go down lower ...Like i do is use a pair of pliers. once you are able to use that tool to make it nice and flat.. then a little pinch above and a little pinch below and bam... bends over no problem without snapping....

Good luck

Great sounding technique, to crush the stem with pliers first! I'll definitely give that a try.

Thanks for sharing

Hello all .. so i decided to put my bags to work on some trim today... I was amazed at how much hash i got out of the trimmings... word of the wise... give the weed at least 2 runs. i was amazed to see me getting as much in the 1st run than the 2nd...

here are some pics of the event...


,lol.. got so fucked up that i messed up the bags on the 3rd round... the 75 and the 120 got reversed... so the 75 got a mix of 75 and 120 in one batch..no worries im sure ill live....LOL

you know, i've been thinking about trying that, it definitely seems worth the effort, thanx genfranco, like that avatar

NO bro... im doing research like an idiot after the fact.. I figured just wrap in plastic baggy... wrap with some newspaper a bunch of times...soak the wrapping good and then heat it... then press.. i figure.. but i dont know about it...I did a little bit rubbed on my hand and i feel like its not worth the time... just sprinkle me man!

LOL

well yes..

#1 Make sure that you are putting the bags back in the right order on the 2nd and 3rd go at it...LOL

#2 i felt it was easier that when your pulling the bags and your trying to collect all of the hash in the center of the mesh... i liked to run hose water in the inside (very low preasure) and rinse the bags... it helps put all the hash in the middle as well and nothing you want goes through.

#3 When you have collected it in the bottom of each bag its easier to grab the hash with your hand from the outside the bag... then flip the bag inside out while holding the stash... then open your hand slowly and use a spoon to place on the drying rag...(awesome pressing sheet) that really helps... make sure you get it all and if you didnt get something rinse back into the bucket so the trichs go to the next lvl..(it shouldnt be much..)

make sure to find a hook to dry your bags from and rinse them after the use... I did it before pulling the next bag... kinda like that one video on you tube with the guy in jamaica...


Anyway.. good luck my friend!

#4... when you put the hash on the drying sheet they give you ... put it in the middle and then fold over and over and squeeeze all the water out... youll be smoking in nooo time. LOL

found a pic of what it looked like freshly squeezed ....1st batch... the other pics is all 3 runs...

# 75 is the Fav!!... IM thinking maybe this should all be mixed so you have more of it... the 150 is kinda like caca...

75 all the way!

I'm getting giddy just thinking about it. I appreciate the tips bro. I'll try to get some pics that was very helpful.

Later......
