Extraction Hash. Tips, pics and whatever.

[MI_sterGreen]

it can be done to a good quality no doubt about it but 30sec too long shaking and you will have have bits of plant matter and all the cystolith hairs which break up due to the very low temps you dont get that with bubble hash or dry sifting when done correctly the difference will only be noticed by people who have a keen interest in hash or hash makers trying to make the best quality they can for the people just making kief because why the hell not then it not something to even think about

I'm still deciding on whether or not I want to pick up a freeze dryer. Thats the big hurdle most people can't clear because of the price. If I ever do bubble hash, I'd definitely want a freeze dryer. I'm not a fan of the dark oxidized bubble.

I don't mind a bit of plant material from dry ice. Sure, the kief that collects in the bottom of my grinder is better but the dry ice process is just faster and easier when I am processing a couple pounds of frosty trim.

I've only done ice and water hash twice in a bucket and didn't have the patience in the process and I didn't like collecting the result from a wet mass in the bottom of the bags. I had planned on buying one of those washing machines but then the China Virus happened this year.

I'd like a setup for dry sift but arthritis in both hands might make it uncomfortable for me.

making bubble is for sure a big pain in the ass those washers take the mixing out of it but pulling bags can take alot of time if you do 3-4 runs never mind run a few pounds im not knocking dry ice its another arrow in the hash makers quiver ( bubble man quote ) all this hash talk made me dig out a bag of trim from the freezer rolling up a small ball of dry sift now :smoking:

Harvest Right has a small model (3 rows) for just a shade over $2k. A lot of money, but you can't take it with you when you go haha

If you want a freeze drier I would say buy a used one

The answer for YOU Regarding your arthritis hand pain is a contraption I saw several days ago on You Tube
“”Make Dry Ice Kief-The Fast Way””
(Enter those Seven words the YouTube search box it should come up)!
You will need a
Sawzaw, 1 Clean metal pail like a 1 gallon paint bucket I think you can buy those at the paint stores brand new clean ?, Dry Ice, Frozen Herb, Bubble Bag of your choice u micron size.
Parchment paper or jar etc.
—Now the whole principle of the process is to get the saw attached to the top of the bucket using Metal screws or bolts placed through a hole drilled through the saw Zaw blade, which has been broken off and the remaining wider part attached to the pail is bent at a 90° angle so the saw itself will be vertically above the pail and attached to the top of the can, once you have your herb and bubble bag inside the can in dry ice let it freeze and then turn the saw on and it creates its own vibration.!!!

I have not tried this yet, but it is interesting & very very easy to make mechanically.
I would think this would work very well for someone that has limited use of their hands

that temple ball looks great nice light color id also love to see a pic of when you crack her open

Trichome Farmer here are the pictures of the aged temple balls, that were cut open last night. One was one year old and one was about 8-9months old.
(Dark colored one was one year & Was leaking oil out of it the paper was completely wet I was totally surprised, lighter color was about nine months old & not heated as much as dark one when rolling compressing to transform to Hash, It was also oily but not nearly as much as the heat treated and hand rolled black one). !!!
Other pics r the home made one year old Thai sticks Using a fresh 5 to 6 inch bud and frozen shaved hash for the outer layer. When cut open the herb bud crystallized homogenized with the outer hash layer, Nice sweet smoke. Oh and the Temple ball winner was the hated black hash ball, seem to have more of a fragrant sweet perfume smell and excellent taste.
Fun Friday ngt. Happy Halloween

Ran my sugar leaf trim from my last couple of harvests through my Trim Bin screen today. Wasn't too rough with it, but powederized it all between my hands and then just shake, shake, shake the Trim Bin.

Going to take a shot at making some temple balls the Frenchy Canoli way and maybe some Caviar... Which is what that Thai stick reminds me of.
