That just makes me smile from ear to ear. I guess I’m getting a vicarious high, imagining the enjoyment that handful of hash represents. One MERRY CHRISTMAS coming your way, for sure!

it is finally gettting cold here so I can do my hashwork out in the shop and keep everything nice and chilly. In all my years of hashmaking with water extraction I have never used the bubble bags so this will be the first time with those.
I generally have used rubbermaid totes for cured or dry weed and I usually break it up over the tote as much as I can, even passing it through a mesh kitchen screen to break it up good. Then Ice and water and mix it real good for 10 minutes or so. Then let it all settle for a good hour and carefully scoop all the weed out and freeze it in manageable size clumps to make weed butter for baking with later. The water is always tea coloured so it is a drain and fill and let settle thing until the water is clear. All through that I carefully screen out impurities foating in the water. Final pass thru a fine screen that I can’t really reacall the mesh size but I have always been happy with the end results.
Will see if these bubble bags make things easier and “better”.
This will be made into black hash but I want to do a fresh frozen run as soon as my garden permits it. Also want to pick up a rosin press in the coming months to take it even further.

Peak extraction is definitely the live rosin made from fresh frozen bubble extract! Make the bubble, freeze dry that, and then press it into rosin. It comes out decent if you press the bubble while it’s wet, but too much pressure rips the parchment. And you have to let the rosin dry out afterwards.
A little practice you’ll be a champ at it.

I know that I said that I didn’t do dry sift .
I have decided to revisit it because some of my friends want me to make some .
A few more pieces yet then I’ll start to put it together .
I’m already sneezing just thinking about it lol

When you press are you using bags if so what micron you using?

I use the 25micron bags to press the bubble.

We ended up getting a new fridge guess what we forgot to take out !?
Now the hash is just a 1/2 thick blob it all melted literally !
Lost its appeal that’s for sure .
Anyway to turn it into solventless carts ?

Just dump it out and let it dry out. It’ll still be decent as shelf dried, because the melt should still be there. The terps will suffer a bit.

Hey guys. I want to make some custom screens for a small handmade wooden box that came from a little village in India. Anybody know what I can use? I had heard that those screens for silk screening work. This is the first time I have MADE screens. Any ideas?

Have a look at Amazon, search 200 micron screens.

I’ve got to admit it: I’m envious of you guys and gals who grow enough weed to make hash with it. (Or shatter, or rosin, or really any form of extraction.)
It seems like such an “inefficient” use of the plant, ounce for ounce… I realize that’s an irrational position to those who grow in such abundance that it’s worth it to you, trading off some quantity for improved quality. Done right, you’re getting the good stuff, and eliminating the harshness/irritating byproducts.
On the other hand, who’s to say that making tincture is any less wasteful (?), and that’s something I find worth the tradeoff, if only to save the wear and tear on our lungs.
If I had my drothers, I’d probably convert most of the flower that comes out of tiny grow room into hash or tincture. But neither of them seems as likely to generate as many highs as smoking buds the old fashioned way. You’re getting fewer – but tastier – highs. That’s the tradeoff.
Any way, just wanted to share my view, as a very small-time grower. More power to you, and thanks for sharing your results with those of us who look on in awe and wonder…

Fair assessment but try saving up your frosty trim in the freezer.
I make hash once a year, basically.
Some of the hash you see is from seed runs too, so those are bonus. And some people process the whole shebang, and that’s fine too

The cutoff point for making your buds into hash is a 2% yield. So the fresh green buds have to yield at least 20 grams of full melt per kilo of input.

@MrGreenJeans the best tip I could offer is get yourself a set of bubble bags, the £20 is an investment they’ll pay themselves most likely 1st use.
I couldn’t believe what I was putting in the bucket.
This gave me an interest in the subject which I enjoy doing now.
Anything bud like gets dry sifted that’s my favourite for flavour.
You can also dry sift using bubble bags.
