What did you accomplish today?

[Rurumo]

Here's how I do it.

I have my mixing buckets...regular 5 g buckets and I'll put about a gallon bags worth of frozen trim/smalls in the bucket, with a few inches of ice above and below it, then fill it with water above the ice and let it soak 15 minutes to saturate everything, with a few light stirrings. I usually have 3-4 buckets going.

Then I have another 5 gal. bucket with lots of big holes drilled in it. About 3/4" holes all over the sides and bottom, then I stack my bags in here. I only use the 36, 72, 90....those are the good ones. and I save 120 for food. I let the 25 go right down the drain!

So I have a total of 5 bags stacked...the 36,72,90, 120, and your work bag on top.

So now the material has been soaking for 15-20 minutes in ice water...you can mix it with the paint stirrer...gently, just for a few minutes the first time. The first run is usually the best stuff but you can keep re- running it until you stop getting hash...Usually at least 3-4 times, but I have gone 5-6 before. Then pour it through your bags. A laundry sink works great!! If you have more buckets, dump them through the screens.

THEN, you can pull your bags and collect the hash. You scrape it off gthe bottom with a plastic card then squeeze out the excess moisture. You can gte it to collect by bouncing the bag up and down quickly. Kinsd of a snapping motion gets it to gel together. Then I just use a towel and step on it inside a screen, then put it on a [piece of cardboard to dry...the cardboard helps pull the moisture out.

You'll be able to sample some while you work, but it'll be better tomorrow after drying some more. Then yo can press it, or chop it up, or whatever you want.

It is a lot of work and I always have a sore back the next day pouring all those buckets full of ice water and shaking the bags, etc. but I usually wind up with an ounce of full melt hash out of trim that would have been thrown away.

You'll gte better at it as time goes by, like everything.

Then I clean my bags good after by soaking them in a vinegar and dishsoap solution then wash them in the washing machine. I have the Bubble Bag Dude brand and they have been used 15+ times and still in good shape.

Have fun with it...Great sleep med!

I've never made bubble hash before, I don't even have the bags yet. I was looking at some all mesh bags on Amazon, but honestly, even after reading this excellent post, I'm still sort of clueless about what to do. I'll just be using the trim and larf from a 4x4 tent that's nearly ripe. Can you point me to any guides with pictures or a video? I've never been satisfied with the stuff I've done with my trimmings and larf in the past and actually either sold it or composted it most of the time..>BUT, this time I will do this bubble hash thing. What else do I need other than bags, a couple of clean buckets? Is a paint stirrer necessary? I'm assuming I should not use the same buckets I change my turtle water with...

You may already know this: folks have gotten those mini RV washing machines dedicated for hash making; they range from hand cranked(~$50) to electric (~$100-300); they direct the drainage through the stacked hash bags. I've been considering doing that

I know, that is why I checked out the bags made for one. My accountant won't go fo it unless I get some donations to cover the cost.

I’ve used a paint stirrer (de luxe model, essentially a 2-bladed propeller in a steel hoop) with a cordless drill.

Plenty of how to videos on YouTube, I'd check those out.

I'm still mulling it over, haven't priced bags and accessories yet; and contrasting with getting that set up or a bench top belt grinder. Fucking covid has gotten me into toy buying. The hash set up would be cheaper and if I don't like it then the washer could do shop rags and work clothes. I already have a small 1x30 belt grinder but...., you know. LOL

Yeah if you're using one of those don't answer the door if a sheriff shows up.

You can wash other things in them? I thought once they were used for pot they were single use. I have a really nice combo RV Washer/Dryer

The reverse; once you use for anything else I wouldn't use it for weed.

Besides, these are all the petty mullings one goes through before spending money on unnecessary stuff lol; I already wash shop rags and work clothes in the real full size washer. Just rationalizations

I have a couple benchtop belt sanders I don't use. Shipping would suck because they are heavy though.

Too late then, thanks!

What size belts? I'm looking at 2X72 for metal work

Thats actually the best way to do it IMO. I have a mini washing machine and 3 of the 220 micron work bags....I even went all out and cleaned and disinfected a full size washing machine including removing and cleaning the pump, which is why I bought 3 of the work bags, and tried that.

The drill with paint stirrer is still my preferred method!! Best results, best hash. I am still always experimenting. Last time I used dry ice instead of regular ice...It didn't turn out as good for some reason.

And all my buckets are old latex paint buckets that have been cleaned and bleach disinfected.

Did a shift at work, cut the grass and tidied the garden. Have now moved on to the indoor garden

I'd have to go look, I can get some pics also. They aren't 72 inches long for sure.

Any idea why the paint stirrer worked better? What were the judging critera?

Making knives?

Thats what I was thinking about my mini washer set-up...but I just checked shipping and it was like $80. You can buy a new one cheaper!

I got my mini washer for FREE. I ordered it, and the ad said it had spin feature. It doesn't. I complained and they offered to give me a full refund, or sell me one that did have that feature. I don't need it to spin for hash making anyways, lol. Here's mine....

Why not just use 160 and 220 bags, take dried trim and larf, put in freezer overnight, then dry sift it?
I just started collecting kief, and this is soooo easy.
Better returns with bubble?
Seems like a lot of extra work and unnecessary mess to me....
