I just collect sift. I've done it before but the whole process of ice water and the bags is just a pain in the ass to me. I've done it a few times and that was enough for me.
I agree with that for sure. Plus I don't know anyone that would take bubble hash over some dank buds, kief, or dry ice hash. Although it seems these days these young folk all turn into wax heads. IMO the water absorbs too much plant matter. I don't mind bubble hash when you get down to the bucket with the real fine screen but the yield is so small it almost makes it not worth it. I also think dry ice absorbs too much plant matter plus I can never find dry ice for cheap. I like simple gravity kief the best when it comes to extracts.
Lol, yeah, kind of weird. I'm nowhere near the terpene expert that some of my friends are, but I think the "meat & potatoes" terpene is Diallyl Disulfide, which I'm pretty sure is also suspected to be one of the main tumor size-reducing components of cannabis. If you've smelled good Bubba Kush, it's that kind of smell. But the Hammer has more fruity terps than Bubba.
"Diallyl Disulfide has a strong, alliceous, onion and garlic-like odor with metallic nuances. Highly diluted, it is used as a flavoring in food. Its flavor is green onion and garlic-like with meaty nuances. It is an organosulfur (organic compounds that contain sulfur) derived from garlic. It is also one of the main components of the distilled oil of garlic. Diallyl disulfide has many of the health benefits of garlic, but it is also an allergen causing garlic allergy."

I didn't check the link yet but sounds very interesting and will give it a read. I think for sure sulfur plays a big part. I'm no terpene expert either but a lot of the nutrients out there for flavoring, the main ingredients are magnesium sulfate and sugars. The super soil recipe calls for epsom salt which is magnesium sulfate. I swear as every day goes by I am turning more and more against bottled nutrients unless going hydro. I only use them once in a while because I have so many left over. I've pissed thousands on them over the years and wich I would of saved that money to invest in todays LEDs.
Glanced at the article and it was great. I would love to test out different extracts for their medical properties. Ever hear of this?
https://skunkpharmresearch.com I'm not big on smoking BHO but it works amazing in edibles. The only downside is it gives me such a high tolerance but I tend to only eat high doses.
