The “bag swing” was a game changer for me!! Something so logical, simple, and it had never occurred to me.

Wow, the bag swing method is blowing my mind, too.
I had the hardest time scraping and collecting the hash the first couple times I tried.

It works wonders!! I live in the country, no close neighbors. Just step outside, swing the bag as long as you can. No more scraping and all the mess!

lol that video is perfect. I really get into too, where I’m just flinging the thing around like a mad man. I’m sure if I had neighbors, they’d think I’d gone coo coo.

Oh yeah man I give the bags all I’ve got when I’m swinging. I believe if everyone watches your video, and then my video, they should have all they need to succeed. Might need to put them together and pin the post somewhere

Too many people in the hash game have massive egos so when I make something, I usually just keep it to myself lol. A lot of times they’re cranking their own hog and shoot down anyone’s hash that isn’t their own. I’m that fly on the wall that looks and listens, learning as I go and seeing what works for me. I’ve learned a couple things from this thread for sure. Lots of good knowledge in here

OMG!!! I just did the final all plants in the washer and run it green or no green and the spinning after doing 6 washes was a total game changer!
Only issue is me, fucking tired me out spinning outside.

I find the green fibers concentrate in a layer after you spin the hash in the bag. They rise to the top. I do about 60seconds of extreme spin. Take a break half way through!

I did think about how the older or disabled folk may be at a disadvantage as far as spinning the bags. Had my mind thinking of alternatives or automated spinning devices. I’m young and it still tires me out.

Some of the batches turn out like goo. Personally I love the sandy ones that almost shatter by themselves. So easy to cut up. I have to pick apart the gooey ones. Reminds me! If anyone says the texture of the trichome has some effect on the yield, that’s not true. The GojiOG batch falsified that idea by being so sticky and still yielding 3%.

This new batch came out a different texture for sure. It was more soupy coming out of the bags and dried flat.
I kind of hated the way she handled while washing even tho it yielded well for me.

wow august 10, 2021 that’s when I first mentioned drying the hash with acceleration. Somehow it feels like I was doing that forever. hah hah however I used to do it, I’ve forgotten. I think I used to drain the bag and squeeze it into a ball then chunk it out. woah, crazy, man. Spinning the bag was a game changer.

Lmao that’s what I do. Is spinning the bag as simple as it sounds or is there more to it

As simple as it sounds! You’re just imitating the spin cycle on a washing machine. It dries the hash and gathers it into a ball.

I’m going to give that a try next time

Kelly’s tool for making the hash is a wooden brewers paddle. It looks like a canoe paddle with holes. She mixes that shit in a large container! Then they make the piatella out of it. Pretty sure they’re legal producers. Lets see if I can find a photo.
hahhah no clue where I had seen those photos. It looked like pretty good hash though!

just step out side and sling away. bout ready to get me some bags and a washer, lol
i have been pretty happy just pressing buds for dabs and have wondered if making the bubble is worth the time and effort. i do not get full melt but pretty darn close using 90 micron bags when pressing buds. my biggest problem is finding the time to do it. i am in true awe of all that you have going on with your grows and gardens that you can find the time to do more.
like mentioned above finding the good hash plant that yields is the key on return. you can identified the yielders by doing a test press with a small amount gram or two of bud and check your return before doing the mother load that is a bust… the way buds look are deceiving the ones you think should yield sometimes dont. and then another bud just oozes & oozes easy 20-30 % return on the buds. the keepers / yeilders.
like you i love and respect the freedom and giving that people help each other here on OG.
