Here's my homeade ice hash technique I promised. Pics included. You need 3 bowls, a steel strainer with small holes preferably, a cup, spoon with drain holes, a few coffee filters, ice, water and your trimmings. What I do is when I harvest save all leaves and stems showing any trichome coverage. Also any undeveloped buds and popcorn nugs. After all the trimmings are dry I'll start. What I do is put all the trim in a big bowl along with about 10 ice cubes and just enough water to cover the trim. To much water and it takes forever to drain through the filter. Once you have all the trimmings and ice water in the bowl you stir vigorously for a good 5/10 minutes. Mixing, scooping and chopping making sure you break all the frozen trichomes off of the trim. Once stirred very good and frothy place in the fridge for 10 minutes. Trichomes are heavier then water so this keeps it cold and allows them to sink to the bottom. Take your spoon with the drain holes and start scooping out the bigger leaves, stems and cubes from the top and put them in another bowl. You want to save them to repeat these steps again. I normally do it 2-3 times. Once you get the bigger stuff removed from the top place metal strainer over the 3rd bowl and dump the yellow greenish water through it. This will be containing all your trichomes. The metal strainer will catch the smaller leaves but allow the trichomes to pass through. Take your cup or jar and put a coffee filter over it an use a hair tie or rubber band to keep it held on and snug around the rim. Fill it with the final water product and watch it drain. As it drains keep filling it up until you are out of trichome water. Once the water has almost finished draining from the filter remove, twist up and squeeze excess water from it. Open it up and walla. You have a nice ball of hash. Take the trimming and cubes you have removed and add a little bit of water and repeat steps as many times as you like. There is always a little bit of trichomes left after the first stir. It's not the most potent and clean hash but for a quick make and household items it is very good. Enjoy guys. If a mod would like to also put this in the hash thread go right ahead. I promised to post it to the journal so that's what I did. Thanks for hopping aboard with the Captain. I started a thread in photo growing for my 1000 watt, new grow room built, 3 strain grow. Purple wreck by Reserva privada. Purple erkle x trainwreck. Blue hash plant, blueberry x California hash plant re crossed by me back to a purple blue berry bred for yield and color and Himalayan kush. Check it out.
