I just do old school with a paint stirrer and my drill, as long as I don’t get too aggressive with it I haven’t had a problem getting green hash. I have worked it too hard before and done that.

Update US Brother,I Will do too because I m about to buy One too and make some hash soon

Thinking about bubbling water makes. some sense, say you have ambient temp. High pressure gas. Expand it to a low pressure gas and aireate with it. A little too much and you could up with a five gallon bubble hash pop cycle…

Is a lot of bubbling force needed?
I usually go for 5 liters of water only,so a small cheap air pump should do It at max Power…?

I think so, if it is to substitute for the normal mechanical agitation.
The whole exercise with the process is to keep the material as cold as possible as at that temperature the trichome heads separate easily from their stocks.
What ‘caught my eye’ was the possibility of precisely chilling the mixture to the freezing point.
Another possibility might be using ultrasonics to knock the trichs off. but I’ll leave that idea for someone else to develop…

I Ve really thought of ultra Sonic,but never found a Good option for ICE cold water.
We Need more input on this kind of devices
I m going to mix by hand for this time while the ultrasonic machine arrives.
@JoeCrowe what would your advice be by mixing with my hand?
I m in a pretty small container,5 liters Total volume.
I would mix and then pour the water through the bags and collect runoff RO water
I used to utilize a cake mixer and the result was too green hash.
I want to mix by hand.I understood the objective Is to obtain a vortex,not hitting the buds,Just swirling the water around.
Am I right?
Also,can I keep the same water for more washes?
And finally,this Is my First time going with fresh Frozen buds and whole Sugar leaves,so I Hope It will be good enough

Yah I use a cake mixer but I have a variable speed drill. I know lots of people who mix by hand. 5 liters you should be able to stir it by hand. It can tire out your arm. I go for the speed at which bubbles form but no vortex. If a vortex forms in the bucket, it’s too much.
The expansion of pressurized gas will definitely chill the mixture hah hah I can imagine injecting high pressure carbon dioxide to knock all the trichome heads off, and make things ice cold.

Would a 9 gram C02 be enough for such small batches as I do?
Thanks for the answer,so I have to mix It gently swirling the water,right?

I’m not sure how much compressed gas it would take, but that would probably raise the cost to manufacture as well. I estimate 60 rpm to stir the water

Thanks Boss,I ll try One round per minute ahahah
Pretty slow and cool

The nutty part I’ve detected is that it doesn’t have to actually be like 0C for the trichome caps to break off. They get really brittle especially because the stalk of the trichome gets thin when it’s reaching maturity. I should start thinking of an experiment I can do that really points to the temperature at which they shatter.
