I tried the BubbleMagic 3gal washing machine I was given & I got mixed results. The first batch was FoOOAMEEE! 
Second batch, different, less resinous matāl was less foamy but still worse than a proper job.
(I should add that the matāl was not in a bag, just loose with water & proper ice amount; The bag is a 5 gal model I think)
Anyone use the washing machine method with no foaming? 
I have a five gallon model. It gets real foamy when I was it using Starsan. Takes forever to rinse it so it no longer foams.

I use The Bubble Now Machine, and Bubble Mans Bags. Find the machine does a much nicer job of mixing without contamination. One of the keys to good performance, is the āworkā bag. Bubble mans work bag is excellent, and rarely lets contamination out.
I run 200 grams at a time, find if I run more(in this bag) my returns are not greater. Too much material is not a good thing .
The water temp is another key. Ice is great, lots of ice is greater, BUT, having really cold water is the trick. I find that if I get the water just to the freezing point, then use it, with LESS ice, I get much better returns.
1st run is 7 minutes. 2nd run is 8, 3rd and last run is 10 minutes.
With only 200 grams in the bag, I can get pretty much all in just 3 pulls. I get some foaming, but only at the start of the spin, and then it goes away.

Iām all for the cold & gentle = superior ā¦refrigerate my water & pre-chilled the washer, etc. 
ā¦but Iām near certain the washer bag I have is for a model 2 gallons largerā¦just looks wrong.
Another difference is I stir MUCH longer & pre-soak the matāl to view the water after a night or even 2 weeks 
.usually stir from 15 minutes to 30 to up to 90 mins. 
Have gotten 15 washes+ before.
(I watched Frenchy & he recommends a short first wash to purge the āfunkā ā¦like less than a minute, IIRC.)
That sounds much nicer than all-day hash work. 
But I never botch it when I hand stir.

I know Reiko will know this better than anyone but why not all see and say something? last post on summer crop that ended to give place to fall run I posted this picture that is tje bubble hash I got from 5 plants, 5 washes but I replaced the water every new wash.
From left to right: 140um too much green material
73um - grainy and loose
25um - sticky
What to do with each one?
Are they all smokable?

The 73 and 25 look smokable, the 140 looks pretty green. Just make sure it gets dried throughly so it doesnāt mold.

Just wanted to hear if anyone has ever heard of adding a small amount of pollen to your hash for a smoother smoke. If so, how much and at what point do you add it.
An old vet used to get us Lebanese Blonde Hash, told me thatās how it got itās color.

lol, uhh lemme explain. Anything besides a trichome cap is considered contamination. If you want your hash to look and smell itās best, it has to be as pure as you can get. I tell my friends I donāt touch it with my fingers.
Something like thatā¦ itās more golden colored.

Iām definitely looking for the cleanest extract possible. Iām on your thread now, so Iām getting it!

lol! Yah itās a long ass read, I think they say the interesting shit happens after the 800th post or so. Itās a hash evolution, that starts with shelf dried, and ends in freeze dried. Live extracts are where itās at!

I too am going to do some bubble hash, just to gain more space rather than storing oz and oz of bud. Can it be done with decarboxalated bud - because I do not smoke?
