For sure, I got mine at the store it cost me twice as much. I’d just do a once-over make sure the stitching is secure no pulled threads.
I wash the gunk out of the bags after! I mean, it was basically water-cured during the hash making process, all the green, or purple leaches out and I toss it down the drain. The last batch was super purple! Makes the water look strange. Usually the water is super green instead, but it all rinses out. Except the 25μm screen it gathers all the garbage. Yum!
I think if you were to try water-curing a couple kilos it’ll require a large container and lots of water. I wonder if it would have the detrimental effect of retting the cannabis?

The wax process is way better for the king tut. It doesn’t come out hard and chunky that way.
Obviously, something is up with the big bud hash these days. It doesn’t turn out like it used to, which is really odd, considering the king tut is the same as always. You can see, I am cutting bubble gum, but then if I really yank on that piece it breaks off with a “snap”. It’s been sitting there for a while, just a small piece I was drying on the shelf. The king tut hash has dried and hardened and also the big bud hash I made with the old bags. Every new batch I made with the big bud is remarkably different from the old one. It seems like it melted at 18C.

huh someone showed up here, said they were selling that wax for more than hash sells for. Crazy world, I thought they were the same thing?
Anyways, I am going to be making the king tut into wax! I will start today, I have more than enough ice! lol I asked the person who showed up if they thought the poisoner could learn how to make the wax. They laughed. I paid the last trimming session in wax lol, people are wondering where it comes from. Probably heard hash mat made it.
ok here’s a photo of all the shelf hash.
You can see all the hash I made from big bud is shiny and like bubble gum. The old bag run and the king tut are not shiny and go thunk thunk if you hit it against something.
I bent a small piece so you can see how flexible it is. I wonder what will happen when I wax one of these wax batches???

lol I think the Justice League is close to figuring out my last secret. After I gave them the bags, there’s been talk of the…smell. Like…some…motherfucker… basted that thing in fruity smelling terpenes. Oh man I laughed they take the thing out of the freezer where I left it and this fruity smell starts wafting out of the bags. Ahh I miss that part. Going to take me months to get that smell worked into these bags. Perhaps even a year! I compare it to seasoning a wok.
What if after you take the hash out of the bags you let them soak in the wash water

Naw, the best way is to let it sit in the freezer with huge bags of fruity smelling weed, meanwhile it’s coated in residue from the same plant. I’m not sure if the wash water is too green, it doesn’t smell fruity.
ok I waxed that entire last batch. I tried using less water this time so it’ll dry faster. I am fooling with the water part, I am curious about how much water I actually need to add in order for it to wax on. I’m not especially partial about these king tut batches - they suck! I’ll be sooooo glad once it’s all done and gone after this last round. One plant left.

well I figured it out! You have to add enough water to make a puddle. If the hash is still kind of sludgy or chunky it won’t work! It has to form a flat-as-glass surface.

I picked off one of the smaller bits and it seemed to be waxed up. Later, I’ll check the bigger ones! Make sure it all waxed up fine. It doesn’t really look like the other waxes, it’s more lumpy. Because I used less water.

heh heh yah that don’t work. You definitely have to have a sheen of water over it, and the hash should be a thin layer no lumps. Ohhhhhhh…well! I learned! What not to do…therefore now I know exactly what to do and what will fuck it up.
Well, I got a lil something for ya Joe… but man was this a freakin pain, I gotta hear your process more detailed or something cause this took way way too long…
90s red, 75 yellow, 45s green, 25s blue…
Not too shabby I feel like for technically my second wash ever with my first wash being a small test run…
However, something tragic happens, while figuring out a good knife to scrape off the hash from the bags (under tension), i by accident poked the tiniest hole in the 75 
which explains why there is so little of that… hopefully I can find a single replacement…
Also, I couldn’t really figure out how to clean the bags from the freezer, and details on that?
I just threw that parchment as is right into the freezer to freeze dry altho I was tempted to try the ice wax as one or two of those spread out piles seemed wet enough at one point that it possibly could have worked
PS, this is with what I believe is Purple Punch but not 100% sure about that lol
73 micron produces just a tiny lump. I never touch utensils or anything else to my bags, so I’ll explain the tech.
When I have most of the water drained from the bags I separate them. Then I take them one by one and whip them around in a circle so the water flys out of the bottom from acceleration. I roll my wrist a tiny bit so the bag is kind of twisting, and that gets the hash all balled up in the bottom of the bag.
Then I dump out the balls onto parchment, and hang the bags on the post so they finish drying overnight. At this point there is a tiny bit of crud in the bottom of the bags, so I toss them all into the freezer(except the work bag, nothing should be in there) and let that freeze for 24 hours.
Then I take the bags and crumple up the screens so the frozen hash crumbles into powder. I dump that out and put the bags back in for about 20 more seconds, then do it again. After a bit the bags are pretty clean, but sometimes a bit of hash gets smeared on the edges or whatever. I call that “seasoning the bags” I’ll be smoking that shit forever. The important part is the screen itself gets pretty clean. If you want, I can video tape the technique and link to it, so you can see what I am talking about if the write-up doesn’t do it for you.

hey I can break it down into steps:
- make the hash
- whip the bags around to drain the water and ball the hash.
- dry the bags
- put the bags in the freezer 24 hours.
- crumble the hash out of the bag
- enjoy

I took my bags out (altho they were not dry when put ion the freezer) and the crumpling didn’t seem to work… maybe my freezer doesn’t get cold enough?
Also, mine are not dirty in just one lil spot so that also makes it a lil annoying

it works best if you dry the bags out first. The water takes a long time to dry out in the freezer - it’s important you dry them or else it takes forever. You should be able to crumble the frozen hash into powder then it just falls out of the bag.
Maybe I’m being picky, how clean does it get for you? Like is there any discoloration left?
When I went to clean mine, they have been sitting in the freezer all crumpled up for prob a month, but part of one was very iced over
Also, I already knew about your bag spinning thing but I did think about it more and am considering it…
I was thinking, that’s prob why you said you whole kitchen became full of resin I take it?
I do have an idea for you about that and I may even give it a try as well… what if when you take the bag out of the bucket, if before you spin it, you put it in a trash bag and spin them together so it doesn’t spray everywhere?
Also, forgot to show you my leftover wash water from the last wash… didn’t realize it was that colored, wonder if this could be evaporated for more concentrate…
I forget, what is your wash cycle and number of runs per batch?

one cycle of 15min drill mixing, 30min sitting, 15min mixing, 30min sitting then it’s done. I toss the bubble waste in the compost after that.
The bags come out fairly clean, but as I said… I don’t worry about side smears or little bits stuck here and there it seasons the bags. heh heh I spin the hash in a shower enclosure to capture the splashes.
The more times you run the cleaning cycle on the bags, the less comes out of them every time. They come out pretty good, let me get a photo.
crud leftover in bags.
crud ejected onto parchment.
clean…ish bags! My last secret is the seasoning of the hash bags like a good wok. These bags are eventually going to smell like fruity candy as soon as the crud builds up in the stitching. You may laugh at that process, but I swear on my terpene laden bags… it’s yummy!

Do you take out the hash in between cycles or just compile all of it together?
