I made some hash today! it's all jelly pie!
I've heard of ppl putting it in the freezer? and then micro plaining it, I normally just let it sit out covered then break it up! lol I'm very simple with it!!
how do you guys like yours?

here's some better pics, I'm kinda disappointed in the amount of impurities I can see when putting it under a digital microscope!

How fresh/dry was the material? Method of agitation? Brand of bags?
Have a buddy with legit bubble bags and a bubble now washing machine and the golden colored brown sugar type consistency he gets are insane. I will say he never got these results without the machine.

I hand agitated it, using bubble bag dude bags, 220, 190, 120, 73, 25, first run I used a plastic spoon and hand mixed, second run I hooked the spoon up to a drill! lol. some of the material was dryed then frozen for a few weeks, and two girls were cut and fresh frozen! I kinda went heavy bc I needed yield! kinda broke right now and hopefully this will help lol!

It’s easy to turn that really brittle trim from the freezer into dust.
I bought one of those counter top washing machines to make hash, it was $40 from costway.
Price went up since I got mine. I’ve done about 30 runs through it so not a ton but it beats a drill and plastic spoon to make hash for when you got some extra cash to make your life easier.

Had to harvest the girls from the tent to help with drying space for the others day 68.
Full Moon Fever..smells of sweet anise.
Golden Nugget..hard to describe the smell for me, sorta sweet scent with a bit of fuel. Very heavy dense bud
This being my 2nd indoor I can see this will become part of my life. It has been fairly simple and the potency (which is the most important to me) has been top notch on everything. I've got to figure out yields though, the plants are small. I've been an outdoor guy so the adjustment to the size difference is staggering to me. I know I can up my light game and that would help. Definitely veg longer for bigger plants, haven't got the whole indoor stretch thing down yet. I think I'll get there eventually, I just wanna come out and play with the big kids...

Those are looking beautiful! Indoor is it's own world -- I started indoor, then did both, now I'm back to only indoor. Over time you'll need to try your hand at scrogs, and maybe even a sog. There are a lot of training methods that buy time to let the root system and main stem beef up while controlling height, so that you can get biggest bud stems possible. In the end, as far as I can tell, big pots, big lights, long veg times and a tall grow space are needed to try and emulate outdoor production. And with all that work, strain choices seem even more important indoors than out.Had to harvest the girls from the tent to help with drying space for the others day 68.

I look forward to seeing what grow style you settle in on!

I was doing the freezing and micro plaining method -- it's a HUGE pain in the ass, within about 30 seconds of starting your fingers warm up the frozen chunk and then the micro plain gets clogged. I kept the tools in the freezer, kept refreezing the block of hash, did it with latex gloves on in a cold space... I did that for several runs before I gave up on it. My (limited) understanding is that the point of that extra step is to allow the hash to dry absolutely completely, so that it can be stored pretty much indefinitely without any risk of mold. Now I do the initial drying, then cut it into slices as thin as I can, dry it for a couple of weeks (or longer depending on ambient RH), and then I 'Food Saver' it and freeze it for long term storage and only take out as much as we'll smoke in a month or so. So far, that seems to be working fine.

Nice job, how big of pieces do you break it into too dry? I'm always worried about the resin growing mold. If you micro plane or put it through a strainer you can't let it sit too long or get too warm.

Thx man..I agree 100%. I guess as long as I have so many different seeds in stock, I just wanna try em all. And I suppose shouldn't really focus on production from the tent now since I have no shortage of anything at present. I suspect I'll get around 10oz from the 7 plants which would last me for head smoke for some time. I am a gardener at heart and just used to having large harvest from my gardens, exciting new territory for sure.Those are looking beautiful!

Actually we have been squishing some dry ice made sift and it has worked really well other then using older trim so it is darker then I would like it, but very potent and actually what I have done so far delicious.

If you want the cleanest bubble possible stick with just fresh frozen and use more gentle agitation.

Did you use a zipper bag inside the machine?
Did you have to modify the machine?
I've heard people say that they remove filters and pumps because they get clogged.

Why is fresh frozen better than dried/cured bud?
(Please forgive my ignorance, I'm new to hash making.)

When it's dried and then frozen for the wash you'll get way more impurities due to how brittle the material is. It's easy to over agitate, by vigor or duration, dried materials. Once the fresh frozen hits the ice water it's not gonna break apart as easily as the dried.

why I don't like dry ice. Seems like every time, it freezes so brittle, you get a lil green, no matter what. I suspect thats why you still see so many doin the ice water hash, jmo
