Make sure you get a handle on the kind of yields the plants are producing by weighing and measuring. That way you know which one(s) you are getting rid of and which you are keeping.

Today made a batch,First fresh Frozen and I obtained very low quantity,premium quality tho.
I put 50 grams of trimmings and started agitating.
Results were poor and went more strong with agitating.
I Don’t know if my technique Is wrong,I did It by hand.
When I was very tired and done I noticed all the trimmings were full of Trichomes yet,resin covered my hands when I started smashing Them between my hands.
Trichomes were greasy on the plant and I collected only 25 micron hash,120 was nothing,90 micron bag Is from Alibaba and It s nkt doing the job right,Total disaster!
What could be wrong?

Trimmings aren’t good for making hash. How did your hands get sticky? You should be stirring with a spoon or a stick.

My hands got sticky because when I was very done with It,I started pressing to check how many Trichomes were still there in the plant matter,massive amount of resin in there yet.
Plant was the greasy type not Sandy
I have lot of trimmings yet,what can I do ?

I usually toss that shit in the compost and make some hash out of buds. The secret is, some plants produce lots of hash, but others don’t produce much at all. It’s because hash is made out of trichome caps, so the more there are the better. Leaves and shit doesn’t have many trichome caps, but the buds do.

Thanks Boss,what about the type of Trichomes?
I see there Is a Greasy type and a Sandy,those were greasy as fuck.

I’d go more with different levels of sticky. I’ve had really like dry ones such as big bud and ogk, but there are also really really gooey ones like the GMO and GojiOG. I’ve had kind of dry ones at 3% and super gooey ones at 3%. The secret is the number of glandular capitate trichomes per square millimeter of bud surface.

So I see you have attached a specific micron size to each specific type of trichome. Do you believe those sizes will be dependent per plant? Or apply to all plants?

There’s definitely variation! Capitate trichomes I’ve seen from 120-180μm. The maximum size and minimum size are genetic. The largest are located on a specific section of the bud along side the unicellular trichomes. I’ve seen different strange things on outlier plants where trichome caps were 65μm. Those aren’t good plants. So now, I am working on the idea of generating a hashishin diagram where you can see what the sizes are that you need to get the different trichomes specifically for that strain.

Fantastic words boss!Thanks a lot for the help.
I Guess my plant was not so good for Bubbles hash then,also trimmings are not worth washing

Made a batch of bubble about two weeks ago. Came out decent. Left to right 25/73/120. The 90 would be nice over the 120. Really need to save for a press though.

I would like to get into rosin and hash techniques willing to spend a bit on some gear can anyone point a beginner in the right direction? I manage to save some nice amounts of pretty average to decent kief! also getting some nice dense sticky bud these days too!
good value - hash press? or any other tools? I do like good hash slabs over rosin admitidly!

If you have some bubble bags, use them to make live extracts. Next stage is pressing the hash into live rosin. That’s $$$ right there heh heh. Primo.

Okay im hoping this is working out… but it feels small.
453g wet fresh frozen buds, washed 4x, left side top to bottom = 120u, 90u, 73u, right side =25u.
