I was speaking with someone and they were telling me about plant matter and fresh frozen. Also about trich heads exploding and turning into mush. Giving more of a runny product etc. I’ve been browsing some of ur pictures you posted and you seem to know what leaves you where as far as starting product and end product. + anything in-between.

Get some micron bags. Make sure the stitching is secure and no threads are coming off. I’ve got the basic mixing formula in this thread, it’s just a drill and a bucket.

fresh frozen buds that’s where it’s at. I’ve never seen a trichome head “explode” and turn to mush. But the amber core of the trichome can fall out. Makes good dabs. The plant determines the end products properties. If you want the hash to be white like some kind of coke, you have to freeze dry it.

Whatever and however you decide to do it, just run a smaller test batch to get the hang of it and learn some intricacies of the process… you could even do an imaginary dry run just to sort of figure out where you might put things like drying the bags and hash etc
It will seem like a lit of effort for such a lil amount to test but it might be worth the sacrifice.

Are the bubblegagdude bags any good? Also you recommend using fresh frozen to make the bubble hash, I have cured bud at the moment, will quality and quantity be less? What is the approximate bubble hash yield per ounce of fresh/cured bud? Thanks in advance!

So in the dicussion we were talking about the water content in the plant rupturing the cell walls when freezing/ comparing to if u leave a soda can in the freezer. And also rupturing the uncured trichs. Conclusion was it would mix and u would be left with more plant material? This isn’t true?

It won’t turn out as good as fresh. You can only determine the yields by trying it. Saying a number would be definitely wrong! If you go and look back in the thread, there is a large difference between the yields of the plants in terms of hash. Drying the bud doesn’t increase the yield, just decreases the weight of the bud. Bubblebagdudes bags look ok! Never tried em myself though.
This is a great idea I like the dry run thing ( or like a practice run without the finished flowers) as I didn’t even consider it lol. Thanks for the suggestions -
Looking at maybe an ounce of primo dry material. But was curious if to seperate the primo and run it separate from the trimmed fans and sugar leafs. There aren’t many sugar leaves - it’s a mexican sativa plant with an amazing smoke as flower. Extremely smooth and piercing lemon flavor. Limited on space so maybe I sacrifice portion of this run to learn like u said - then second portion to dial it in somewhat. Next year would be able to grow toward to goal of hash

check out my microscopic hash imagery. You can see an occasional plant fiber, but not many.

lol I toss the fan and sugar leaves in the compost.

But also my friend, my crops fans and sugar leaves are high in it’s overall THC content. Very pearly sativa plant it’s why I am trying to get a variation method of hash for it.
Thanks for the information, I will reread the thread. If you don’t mind me asking what bags(brand) are you using.
You look at my plant and u would laugh and say I’m crazy. U probably throw the whole thing in ur compost haha!
Not that it is bad looking plant but as far as ur standards for a hash worthy plant. U may laugh at me
hehheh mine are just payload bags, they have a cup shaped screen. only 220μm, 90μm, 73μm and 25μm. I had to get what I could here in the middle of nowhere.

It’s subject to determination, my current high yielding plant is 23grams wet/4 dry makes 1 gram of hash. I think the runner up is 35 to one or some shit.

not determined by plant weight then. Simply by resin production?
yah according to my research it’s directly linked to the number of trichomes the plant can produce per bud. A good thick forest of trichomes yields a good hash nugget.

Would u be able to tell from a high quality photo? Comparitve to some polyhybrids my ppure spits trichs out pretty well. Closer to harvest the stems are even encrusted with trichs… But like I said it’s a low yielding plant. Very high bud to leaf as it’s mainly all calyx lol
well, what I do is use the microscope and counting software. I can take an image of a single bud then count all the trichomes on that thing and compare it to a known yielding plant. I have several to compare to, all the way from top producer to crap. Still in falsification stage, I have to keep scanning plants and making yield predictions.
My end result I want is to be able to toss a bud under the microscope and know if it’s worth growing, simply by examining the trichome field of a dried bud.
