Trash to stash (Share your technique/secret) (foliage hash,etc)

Discussion in 'Medical Marijuana Usage and Applications' started by caligulah, Dec 7, 2013.

  1. Figured I'd make this thread after searching the forums and not really finding much in specifics when it comes to turning (sometimes bad) situations, where maybe some novices would tend to look over in the haste to harvest something as valuable as the foilage they've accumulated along there grow. Now this is just an example (as well as a question I'm putting out there for all your hashperts!), but again some may not know these things yet- so hopefully here is where they will! Usually throughtout my harvests- specifically for all the plants that are on 12/12- I'm collecting and saving foilage. All the leaves usually from flowering to manicuring the last nug- I've got news papers on the ground to save every last leaf.. Usually I'll dry it like I do my bud, same room, only the clippings I store in a big plastic garbage bag for future use (making hash, oils, etc, all hopefully people will come and share there methods/techniques!$) some people tell me I should throw fresh clippings right from plant to freezer, all throughtout the harvest and until the last bud, in other words - not letting it dry like I normally do with my buds, but to freeze them, 24 hours later all the good stuff will be frozen. Here's my question for those who freeze: how long do you wait once you've taken them out of the freezer, or do you even allow the foilage to thaw before grinding it all up to eventually make hash?

  4. Haha very sweet. I've never seen the dry Ice idea, but it's a damn good one. I use a much ghetto technique, I take the finest [​IMG] <_ shirt thingy. Sift.. Collect like he did In the vid. I need a press. I use a rolling pin after throwing the results in the oven for 15 min. How effective are those presses?I am Caligula. Glutton of Gluttons. Men over women. Man over woman.

  6. Dry ice is for all the moisture I'm gussing?? So you just take fresh from the tri-leaves and throw them into collection ?? No drying method used until you do the dry ice shake?I am Caligula.

    Dry Ice freezes the trichomes so they break off the plant mater easily and quickly.  It can be two edged.  If you work where it is humid frost can form inside your bubba bag or pollen box and cause it to plug up not letting the kif out.
