what am i doing wrong, hash making??? +++ for alll, help me please

ok so this is like my 3rd. harvest and 3rd. attempt at producing hash. so i go out and get my bags, ice, water, etc. i didnt dry my leaf just straight to the freezer for 24 hours. after that, i cut it up add to the bags, add ice, water mix for like half an hour. then i let it settle for about 15 minutes. then i drain in my 4 bags. takes like an hour to drain and i get nothing. WTF is going on here, its indoor with high thc so i know its good leaf and all. its like i can pick up the 200, 160, 120, and 75 micron bag right away and the water just runs right threw them. the last bag, the 20 micron takes forever but i still get nothing at all, please help me someone.+ for all who advice

Try drying the leaf first. I saw Jorge Cervantes make bubble hash and he used dried leaf. You can go to youtube.com and see it for yourself... Just search "Jorge Cervantes."

yea i would have to agree with him....let them dry out first you. even if you are putting them in the freezer for storage you should dry them first!!!
when you freeze them rite away the moisture in the leaves freeze. so you dont want frozen leaves....just dry ones.
ive never made bubble hash...i have yet to do in my life time.
i usually make ISO hash. its a quick and easy process that anyone with a brain could do.

I've never made hash before but my understanding of freezing is to freeze the trichs so they fall off the leaf when you mix. If your taking them out and cutting they will thaw fast. Also a blender might help. like I said I'm no expert

i have never done it but hear you have to stir it a lot with a drill mixer and maby try to put the leaves directly into the cold water, stir, then strain the leaves out and strain the cold water with a coffee filter then let dry.

did the ice melt and it get foamy at the top before u tried screening it

yhea it got real foamy and it was around 38 degree when i let it sit 30 minutes then i screened it. i screened it 4 times now and i probably got a total of 1 g or less

does it have to be dryed out first? the leaf that is. yhea i mixed it for 30-45 minutes with a batter mixer. mixed it real well

yeeeees.....the leaf has to be dried first...even before you put it in the freezer

My understanding is it has to be bone dry first, but not a disaster if not.
After blending wait 1.5 hours for everything to settle completely(not air current).
Remove each bag painfully f'in slow as to not disturb the remaining contents in each bag

you dont need to cut up your leaf frist just make sure that there is no stem in it and that the leaf is dry when you fill your bags add some ice to the bottem and them on top of the leaf and you will be fine

it should be crunchy but not crispy. dry it until it makes a crunching noise when you squish a handful but doesn't break up into crumbs.

Listen to this guy..... seriously.

i know, FDD is the man iv seen from post, he got xperience. lol, i didnt dry it at all but i didnt think that would effect the trichs coming loose? ill try again next time....

u should dry the leaves for about 3-5 days then put em in the oven for just 5 minutes at 300..i heard that from a old ladie who makes all types of shit from oil, hash, and edibles for cannabis clubs and i figure a 50 year old ladie who gets down like that knows her shit

Try the Gumby method:
