Fresh frozen is the way to go for sure.
So does that mean making bubble hash right away using fresh material, or freezing fresh weed solid in a deep freeze before actually making the hash?
I froze mine first and was told that it's why my hash turned out harsh.

This shit is confusing.

Hell I ended up making my own process for drying, heating, and pressing because it seemed like everyone had different methods.

I agree I’m somewhat confused myself. I heard long term freezing damages the heads, but after running through the bags I run it through a strainer myself to help it dry/cure better. So I damage the heads/rupture them doing that I’m sure. Either way it still turns out dank and I never have issues with mold.

Looks like you and I both are doing a large GPS seed run, your not too far behind me on germination... Excited to see how yours turns out. I keep wanting to pop more but... Not sure if I can truly handle it! Lol...


All GPS gear except for 3 of these... Some are not pictured. :bigjoint:8-)

Got'em all under 800 watts of hortilux HPS right now, vegging along with my clones... Love these bulbs, they have a nice noticable enhanced blue spectrum... Keeps them shorter, more vigorous and bushier. Gonna crank it up to 1000 watts in a day or two!
Lol yeah I see that and I left several packs sealed too. Thinking these were my top picks of the bunch. And its gonna be mind boggling for a bit. I'm still working thru the last run trying to figure my keepers. It gets confusing. This ones 70 specimens strong lol... looking forward to several . I'm recently all switched up to LEDs and shelved all my hid's. I've got a mix of timber cobs, fluence vyprs and one hlg 550 v1...so far so good. I'll be watching yours can't wait to see

I hear that lol. I am keeping it old school with my HPS's... I love my HPS although I have never used LED's, yet. I run 4 1000 watt HPS in flower, since I lost my veg room back a few months ago, I have no choice but to veg in my bud room till I build something else...

I am however thinking about squeezing a couple CMH's in the mix along with my HPS's. I have a friend over on IC and he uses that same combo and has superb results with it. He claimed that each CMH he squeezed in between his HPS lights boosted his yield by around 300 more grams and I believe it, his grows are HEAVY. (CMH should most definitely increase not only yield, but resin, oils and trich production as well). Regardless, whether it will work for me or not, idk yet but I sure am gonna give'r a try!

I will be keeping an eye in yours as well my friend and the best of luck to ya!

I personally think it's a bit overboard to focus on on the whole "if it's frozen longer than 24 hours all the trich heads will break" blahblahblah speel. I know there are hash/pot snobs out there with their loupes and scopes and shit who say these things...but in the end can the average user discern hash made with trim frozen for more than 24 hours? Maybe it makes a difference in some small way...but I don't buy into the thought that it makes it harsh or ruins the product/etc. I've yet to hear anyone say "Man...was that shit frozen for more than 24 hours before you made this?"o_O Those folks go without free hash around here. Truth be told...around here we have a freezer full of hash makin' bud all year long and we pull out bags to make a new batch when we need freshies. I personally think freezing it and using it as needed is a better approach than spending weeks at harvesttime making bub as the garden is harvested and then trying to store that hash for the upcoming year.

Obviously...I freeze my hash makings. I use whole plants....just chop that shit up....but not too much. Fill those pound bags up and freeze em. Nice nuggies work very well. Shake makes greener product. Unfrozen trim/etc. often makes hash that is reminiscent of the old blonde brick hash we got in the 70's. More like pressed kief from my experience. Around here...I keep the top tops for the wife but damn near everything else gets squished (a new process here that may replace a large portion of the bubble I make) or chopped and frozen for hash.I even have my own deep freeze...nyuk..nyuk...(you don't want trim in with your food unless you like the taste of ganja) I also use one of those Chinese/plastic washing machines to mix the hash/ice/water. Watch the Frenchy Cannolli vid on youtube where he's on his back deck. I do pretty much what he shows in the vid. Bypassed the drain on the washer and everything. Works very well....

Every strain perfoms differently from my experience. Even the same strain can vary somewhat from batch to batch. Some will give you only one/two bags of full melt...others will just drop that shit in every bag and blow yer mind. I've been through a bunch of different drying approaches. What I've settled on lately is....no pressing.....just drop the chunk/scrape out of the bag onto a silicone mat/etc... and then chop it up with a razor blade like it's 1980 and yer a coke head. Spread it out....let it dry a day or so...then flip it....let it dry...flip it...chop it some more if it isn't still too gooey (some don't chop, the gum shit up) I just keep chopping it smaller and drying it.....takes about 2 weeks. then I jar it into small Mason/jelly jars with silkscreen "lids" so it can breathe.

Some freeze it wet...and "microplane" it....but that's too OCD for me. Keep chopping it on the tray...and it will eventually be somewhat like sand like the snobs want it to be/say it should be.

Some kinda fun.......

yeah, it is really tough to beat flower rosin. a lot of people prefer hash rosin, but i am all about flower. best flavor imo. the trichs aren't molested at all really before being squished.

you're drying and curing your flowers before squishing, yeah? had a couple guys telling me they squish un-dried flowers. not sure how you would do that without getting a shitload of liquid in your rosin...

Oh yeah I ran cmhs before too. Great to mix with hps. I tried the 315's and also the double ended 630's...mixed feelings about them. I'll send you my 315's if you want to try them...

Yes....dried and curing nugs get the squish here. Get the humidity right and go. I'm pretty sure wet weed/frozen weed/etc would burst the bag and make a huge mess of the press and then some.

I like the flower rosin better as well. The squished bub loses alot of product...good product. It's a huge extra step to then turn around and press it and take the hit on weight. I'm sure some have it wired better than I or feel it worthy...but none of it felt truly right here so I reserve the press for nugs. I plan to scale back on all fronts now that the press is on the scene. Just not gonna take the same amount of trim/etc. as the bags do.

Can someone please tell me what are the go to strains for Greenpoint
Is there like a hierarchy of must try strains
I look at the reviews on the web pages and they're getting 5 stars just because the seeds look good. Kinda hard to make a decision on that.
I just want someone to say,you gotta try this or that you won't regret it ,that's all
Thank you all

I think if you were just to go with one for an overall winner most would say Cookies n Chem. People will post beautiful pictures from all of the strains but I see even the haters running the CNC because of the gems people find in those packs.
Cool thanks, will definitely look into that
