Just when you are leaning toward buying BHO tech you see stuff like that and it brings you right back.
NICE!!!!!! That's what I'm talking about!!!!!! That my friend is what I've set out to do... Now, don't get me wrong, properly made BHO is still quite enjoyable and I do keep an emergency stash at all times. And I'm a contract extractor for a couple different patients and for a establishment . But, we honestly don't know the long term effects of BHO... Hash has been around for a very long time, and it doesn't seem to have any negative impact to us in the long term. I personally must be very careful regarding what I put in my body, having an Auto-immune disorder. I just would rather be safe than sorry. Again, thanks for the kind words. It truly means a lot to me. Got a batch of bubble drying as we speak.... Gold/blonde and smells incredible... Pics soon... Sticky, sticky resin.... Gonna be epic (I think)
Solvent hash is the way to go. I'm got my pro-cess down as bubble man would say. Hash church has been awesome with tony horiatio Johnny b. Glad we got someone on here like Sirdabsalot. I can't wait till we get to see how the terp extract happens by tony. Next step is dry shift. Love the pics keep them coming Sent from my iPad Blood Eagle
Yeah for some reason allot of people seem to hate on what they aren't doing instead of focusing on what they are doing. Even though I grow hydro atm I love the idea of organic hash that hasn't had a chemical anywhere near it.
You guys are absolutely awesome Perhaps you may be giving me too much credit however. I'm just starting my journey into this amazing world of sieved resin, and humility is one's best tool into improving one's ability to progress in any capacity. Even if I were able to produce the world's most epic hash, I wouldn't consider myself a "Guru, Master or King"... The guys that do that are content with what they are currently producing. .. This leaves zero room nor passion to further develop cannabis concentrates. If we look back a simple decade ago. . Look at far the community has come, we are no longer smoking Sulfur tasting resin, from people Teaching us to dry our resin on shoebox cardboard, and letting it oxidize via Oxygen interaction. We now know to break the resin up and dry on inert surfaces. Seriously, think about it. . 10 , hell even just 5 years ago. .. who would of ever thought we'd be dabbing Bubble hash? Not me. I've got a lot to learn, and at the same time a lot to share. It brings me great great joy to inspire others to this degree and I owe you lots of gratitude. It only fuels the passion even more. The batch I made last night is now dry to the touch, but would not break up. . It broke up initially with my toothpick tech, but clumped back together over night. It is super stretchy and if held in your fingers for more than a minute, it starts to melt from the heat from my finger tips. and becomes very sticky. I will post pics of it tomorrow, when she losses a bit more water content. Due to popular request; More Resin pics. And yes indeed. .. Dry Sieve is my next destiny. Used fresh but dry material for these pics. .. I coined the term Bubble Glassh It literally shattered like amber shatter. Collected at 73 This is an older run, but kind of like what I made last night, very sticky, resin, that sticks back onto itself. This was amazing hash and my most recent resembles it. Besides the color, my run last night is gold and much more blonde, with prism colors throughout. Some super Gold Resin Okay, just 2 more for now. . Pressed Hash> Hashish Temple Balls I will be adding more pics tomorrow, including what the inside of a Temple Ball looks like after a 6 week cure. Thanks again for all the kind words guys. .. seriously means a lot to me.
Hash Porn haha Actually just realized this thread is probably a good place to ask but what do you guys think of stainless mesh? Don't really see anyone using it but people selling it for sifting.
I personally like the idea of a more sturdy mesh, that will be similar to dry sifting , but utilizing water to transport the resin Like a cylinder with Stainless or even regular silkscreen mesh, but the cylinder would be stacked, with mesh pulled taught. Something like this.. But stacked... With the mesh being pulled taught, this will open the holes to their true micron size. Further purifying the resin with more accurate micron openings, also making the pour easier and even better, much easier to collect the resin post extraction.. This would also allow for faster draining , getting it out of the water as quickly as possible, decreasing terpene loss in the water. My current tech.. I do manual spinning in a bucket without the work bag, this increases the surface area, and allows for a better agitation.. I then let the resin sink to the bottom for about 5 minutes after agitation. I then use a long handled very fine metal mesh kitchen strainer to skim the material/ ice mixture off the top., and let it rest atop another bucket while I'm collecting the resin. When I get some extra funds, I'll be exploring this idea more. Something like the pic, but stacked, and removable. It almost seems to be too logical, and makes me wonder why it hasn't already been thought of.
Sounds like a good plan mate. I can buy bags just not dry sifting screens so I have to make my own and I just figured stainless would last allot longer. Getting it taut and secured is going to be the hard part I think. What is your preferred condition of the material going in? Do you cure a bit or just as fresh as possible?
I prefer dry/ cured trim, that is very well taken care of. Never have I froze my trim. I really like to cure the starting material for about 6 months pre-extraction.. That's the only way to get that gold/ bronze beach sand hash. The material used in the the above was semi- fresh, most of it from the outdoor strains I've been posting in my thread.. Roughly a month and a half old.
A few pics of the last run. .. will post more tomorrow in natural lighting. Super melt, expands in the lungs like a balloon, and very potent. .. Maybe the best I've ever had Cannot wait till she cures a bit, just going to keep getting better.
Happy Sunday Blades. My brother Urb kindly asked that I share the following post regarding how to properly dry Sticky, stretchy Bubble Hash, which is most commonly the texture produced from running Fresh/Fresh while frozen Starting Material, or contingent upon the plants specific glands ... i.e Outdoor Strains with a signigantly higher Terpene content. A prime example is in my above pics ^^^.. This resin was completely sticky, hard to break up, as it would only stretch, rather than being able to chop into a powdery/grainy texture. (I tried to chop, and it would just stick to whatever tool I was attempting to accomplish this with.) I've seen many threads on various forums asking this question, and all I've researched are rudimentary at best. **** Note; this is based on my own personal experience, and may vary contingent upon specific techniques**** (In other words what may have worked for this specific run, may not work for various other runs) As with solvent extractions, variables always play a part, to become a solid extractor, it is essential to be able to "read your variables". Okay, let's get to it. How to Properly dry Sticky/stretchy Bubble Hash I did it exactly how I cure my flowers. Jar it before it's technically "ready" to be jared (with some water content)... And burp by emptying the jar and letting it it sit out for a couple hours, then back into the jar, even if it's still "wet" **note- Surface MUST be dry to the touch before jarring** This encourages water content to be drawn from the inside out, it also actually slows the drying process, retaining terpene content. When the hash is in the jar, and then burped in the fashion described above. When dumped out, the water content in the middle of the sticky hash makes it's way to the surface, or outer portion of the hash, then after re-jarring ....the process is repeated ... In my most basic explanation... Jar before you would actually think it's ready to be put in a jar. it is essential to dump at least twice a day! or mold is inevitable ... These dump times need to be at least for 1-2 solid hours This allows humidity levels to work it's way from the center, outwards to the surface. Also, when the dump is preformed , it is important to dump on some parchment, and flip the pieces over, the parch will aid in wicking moisture out, but exposing the top to atmosphere is more important... So be sure to flip. Now that I've got it into the powdery consistency I like... The cure continues, but remains in the jar while burping still doing twice a day for a minimum of two weeks. Whilst the jar is open, stir your hash with a toothpick, try to get the hash that's on the bottom up near the surface, you can actually dump onto a sheet of parch again to be extra a meticulous ... But put back into your jar immediately (Terpene retention).. Hope this helps... Please feel free to ask any questions that you may have. One last thing.. Jar size is also very important to curing resin properly, ideally, you want a jar that is just big enough to house the Hash, with as little "Dead Space" as possible, this reduces prolonged exposure to Oxygen levels ... As oxygen exposure plays a big role in the Oxidation process, Oxidation is is the Hash lovers' enemy And pics to show it can be done, I love this because I have the above pics in place for a "Before & After" comparison. Another before Jarring while somewhat "early" After And, I accidentally spilled a tiny bit onto my kitchen counter top, while transferring back into the jar, although the counter was very clean, I did not want to put it back into the jar(I tend to be overly meticulous when it comes to my FMBH) so, I just added it to my already sprinkled bowl... (Usually there is less than half of the hash pictured in my bedtime bowl.) I typically cover the hash with a generous layer of herb, and the cherry allows for proper vaporization of the hash underneath , creating a splendid taste to the whole bowl. Again... This is only what I've found to be successful in my experience, by no means is this "rule of thumb" But it seemed to solve the "sticky hash" dilemma for me. ***Most importantly, avoiding the propensity for molding*** Happy Hashing GC
