I just harvested my first plant have the trimmings in the freezer What should i do with it I mean for a newbie that has not made any hash or anything close to it, What's easy? and would it be worth it I really don't have much at this time more in a month or so Thanks in advance
 
MILK!

1oz plant matter to 1cup WHOLE milk
(I usually do a quarter pound of plant matter and 4 cups of milk...)

add a little butter or cream for more of a kick....thc stores in fat cells...

grind up the plant matter as fine as you can...I run my stems through a coffee grinder...
boil between 140-160F for an hour
dont let it get above 180F
strain the leafy stuff out and chill the milk..
(I throw a warm glass over ice if I just cant wait...)

...

this stuff will MESS YOU UP!!
 
Sift for kief....dry ur trim then get ya a screen or panty hose...permanant coffe filters the cone kind work good....or iso hash is awesome....get ya some 99% rubbing alchohol and "quick wash" ur trim n let evaporate...scrape up the golden goodness the next day...it'll rock ue head...just you tube it bro...there's a million things u can do
 
WELL.... If you have the money a couple of those hash bags? Pretty simple to use if you have enough trimmings. But if you dont have the money for those Not sure what else you could do with them. Try and harvest the resin glands or scrap them for finger hash ha. Congrats on your first plant! How did it come out?
 
I second the iso. just made my first batch a few days ago was never really into it before. but wow the shits takes you for a loop.

Good shit huh bro...I played w it a little n found a qwick wash of broken up popcorn buds gives me the highest quality...pure gold....and very tasty actually....
 
Thank's every one for the great info
I like the idea of ISO Hash but that only wash's the trichomes of the trimmings what about the thc still in the plant matter? you don't want to waste it. So for you, first time with a bag full of trimmings turn it into oil. Real simple just let the trimmings dry real good then rub the shit between your hands and it will turn into flower. Get your self a big enough pot and pour 70% to 99% iso into and get it boiling. Then just dump your flower into it. It will turn black almost instantly. Just let it boil for a few minutes then get a coffee strainer and filter and pour the oil thru it. This will get all the plant matter out. Then just let it simmer until there is no heavy white vapor coming from it anymore(lightly blow over it and if you can still see vapor it's not done yet). When it cools you will have some great oil to show off to your friends. BTW this all take less than an hour. Don't worry about boiling iso as long as theres no open flames or sparks there is no chance of an explosion or fire.

I'll tell you a funny story: My brother and I about 15 years ago were making oil and at the time we were greenhorns. So we didn't really consider the dangers of working with a flammable liquid. So anyhow we were doing a double wash and we got the bright idea of putting the wash on a cookie sheet and putting it in the oven to dry. Well it was a good idea at the time but as soon as that oven filled up with evaporated alcohol it was only a matter of time before the flash came, and it came alright. Blew the oven door right off and thru the kitchen wall, the two pots I had on the stove were now firmly embedded in the roof and my brother and I had no hair at all on any exposed skin. Needless to say we will never try that again.

Thanks for the advice
 
Personally I save up a bunch of trimming then cook it down in a little over equal parts veg oil then have a serious baking session!

Smoke two little one hitters and i could not stop smiling for hours It was such a relief this was my first attempt at growing and it was bag seed so i was not sure how it would turn out but it was awesome ,just the taste was not there yet hopefully the curing will help
 
Can you link me that recipe?

I cook from the heart... rarely use recipes...

oil to ganja ratio is 1cup/1oz (same as the milk) veggie oil goes good with a wide assortment of foods.
again, you want the temp hot enough to cook the thc into the fat cells
but low enough that you dont burn it all off....
just above medium heat usually works best...
you'll see little bubbles rise up and just mash it in and stir..the longer the better.
I do 1 hour sometimes 1.5hr... some people do up to 3 hours...
strain the leaves from the oil, press all the oil out that you can.
(DONT use a plastic colander...it will melt if you strain while it's hot)

then jar the oil...and use it in everyday cooking!
basic brownies in a box call for 1/2cup oil... so instead of normal oil...use the green stuff.
you can use it in anything though... it's marvelous!
refrigerate for better taste and shelf life.
 
easiest is dry ice hash. get a set of bubble bags and use the 200 micron bag and get a 5gallon bucket . insert trimmings then insert 1-2 lbs of dry ice in bucket. put bubble bag over bucket and flip over and shake onto a large mirror or flat table. the blond is killer and the rest for any kind of cooking.. there are several threads on what to do.. it's like the pig, use everything but the oink...and we can't catch it..

Good to hear. Its is a damn good feeling puffin on your own work. Thinking back at where it all started from. Nothing better. And always seem to taste better then the next guys since its your own. For sure it will be getting better after the drying time and a few weeks curing or as long as you can wait HA. An yeah bag seed could be just as potent as the next guys 10$ seed. How long did you let it dry for before putting it to cure? Glad it was a success no matter how big or small. Every time you will learn something new. Good Luck.
