What is this powder you speak of?

your hash looks like it's in powdered form instead of molded together ya know, I was wondering if there was any particular reason for that. no biggy if there isn't I was just wondering for general info.

Matt post somewhere that it helps with even drying and to bring out some of the pretty amber colors.

thanks I understand that part.

what I was saying was, AFTER you dry it and cure it in powdered form, why keep it powdered? general rule is more surface area = more oxidation. and I haven't detected much difference from dabbability of mashed together hash vs loose.

more surface area does equal more oxidation, so it would be best to grate the hash like we do. instead of it being in a ball or a block, it is in tiny pieces. This and RO water are the two things that keep hash it's true color. I make all of my ice by hand in trays with the RO water. clean is clean imo. the grating (or powder as you call it) also splits the trichomes thus bringing out the oils of the hash making it that lovable waxy texture. The less touching the better.

you can pocket cure it, but i am on the fence about the pocket cure being a good thing or just an aesthetic flare.

yeah, I guess it's a matter of preference in the end. I prefer to dry and cure it in powdered form, then after a good day of pocket cure I mash the hash together with cellophane (not actually touching with my hands.) I'm just not big on oxidation unless I'm curing ya dig

very oily!!! nice man

heres some full melt I made recently, desert valley kush (not that stoney)



I intend to buy 2 new bags to clean up the process a bit, my 220 micron bag is pretty old, and after that I only have a 73 and 25 micron. I'm going to buy a 190 micron (or possibly smaller to catch more contaminants) and a new 220 micron bag. gonna have a LOT of outdoor trim to run very high grade strains

I ran a full wash of the purple kush, probably 1.5 lbs dry trim but im not sure because it was fresh/frozen.

Yield report:
38 micron: 7 grams
73 micron: 1.5 g
120 micron: <.5g

Compared to a typical sour diesel indoor run...
38 micron: 10 grams
73 micron: 12 g
120 micron: 8 g

Purple Mr NiceGuy ICE WAX

I prefer to keep my Ice wax powdered as well. I think only special full melt strains dab equally well when resmashed back into larger chunks. I feel I waste a lot less Ice wax when I shovel 'powder' onto the nail as opposed to a chunk. My aim is good and only a few flakes miss the nail per shovel. With OG, Blackberry Kush, and the diesels it doesn't seem to matter, they melt any way you dab em. I couldn't even microplane the blackberry and it was full melt just like solvent extracts!

Light Dep Green Crack trim/popcorn run cured really well with a little help from the heating pad.

nice waxy!

I ordered a 120 micron bag from boldt bags. so now I have the 5 gal washer with a 220 micron zipcro bag, 220µ,120µ (coming), 73µ, 25µ.

wish I had the money to get more bags but I gotta live with it. next time I'll buy a 160 micron bag!

boldt bags are decent and pretty durable. i like iceolator the best overall, i just wish an 9 bag kit was offered.

yeah their customer service is top notch, every time I've accidentally put a hole in one of my bags they've replaced them for free

ey matt what's your opinion on the 120 bag? mainly towards outdoor material and indica dominant strains.

just got some great 120 from my outdoor grape ape. pics coming shortly

hey guys quick question: when mixing the ice,trim,and water up How long do you mix for? I noticed that the foam started turning green after being mostly white in the begining. Is that a sign that I went to long? Some of the lower grades look pretty green
