fdd is 100% correct, in order to prevent them from clogging you must move the water inside the bags (swirling works best)
This is the same method that I use..

Peace and Happy Growing

Wow thank you for letting me see how endless the limits of ingenuity are.

Im new to hash, I was thinking of making some on the grow i have now. I have 4 plants, all 5 foot tall. If I process all of that using this method, how much hash would you expect? Im also making the hash for personal use since it stores longer, and dont care about the quality of the hash too much, as long as its as strong or stronger than typical bud. Im also growing white widow, its a pretty good crop so far.

The ammount of hash you get will depend on the thc content of the plant, for instance if you have 15% thc levels in that perticular strain then for every dried 100 grams of plant material you would get 15 grams of hash.

I hope this helps you to understand the world of hashish..

Peace and Happy Growing !!

Thanks. Was also wondering what you use the garbage cans for. I really need to do this soon, too much shake !

the garbage cans are to catch the water from the washing machine as it comes out, if you look closely there is a hole in the lid of the garbage can and a mob bucket with the bottom removed was inserted.
This is to hold the screen bags into place while they are being fulled up with trichome water.

 

[dlively11]

About how much water comes out on a cycle ? This is the one thing I was wondering / worried about with a system like this. Any way to do it without using garbage cans ? I guess I was hoping t use 5 gallon buckets.

 

[marijuananation]

you can control the ammount of water with the control valve that is attached to the clear tube coming out of the back of the machine. this way you can control how much water comes out and how fast..

i drain all mine into 4 five gallons buckets, all at once. then i simply do a bucket at a time. no valve needed.

 

[dlively11]

I thought with a maching machine you have to drain all the water at once when it is running its cycle So you put a valve on it and control it ? Doesnt hurt the machine ? Do you guys reuse the cold water for a second and third run or do you start all over ? I have a little resinator macine I run it 3 times and use the old water since its already so cold.

yes, and to do this i use FOUR 5 gallon buckets.

i think stopping the flow while the pump is running could possibly cause excess wear on the pump.

i simply push the knob off if i want it to stop. you have to raise the end of the hose above water level when you turn it off or it will continue to siphon out. i push the knob, then lift the hose. i can stop and go at will.

That is what I was thinking too. I'll go the bucket route. Would be easier to dump the cold water back in the washer that way. So when you do round two you dump the water back in and switch the machine to agitate not a regular cycle then correct ?

Sure not looking forward to this but am looking forward to getting rid of all my outdoor shake.

i hook a garden hose up to the machine. it fills itself.


i drain all the water at once into 5 gallon buckets, as i filter it thru a 1 gallon, 125 micron bag to pick up any loose trim particles. i have this mounted on a frame that sits atop the bucket. then using a single 5 gallon bag at a time i pour it thru and into another empty bucket. i have 6 or 7 buckets lined up at once. i use white buckets for unscreened water, that gets poured thru the first screen(70mic) into a yellow 5 gallon bucket, that gets pored thru the last screen925mic) into an orange bucket. orange buckets get dumped outside. while i'm doing all this the second cycle is already running.

i start with 40 pounds of ice, second cycles i add another 15 or 20 to top it off. i like to fill the drum about halfway with ice, then throw in the full bags, then fill it the rest of the way. then i add the water. this usually gives me the perfect mix. i have found the ratio of ice to water is as important as any other step in the process.

Wow sounds like you have a good system going. So you use fresh water for every round it seems unless I am missing something in your post above. The orange bucket should get all the water you have left over after one round. Why 40 lbs first round then half that on the second round ? Good idea using colored buckets. I reused my water on my little bubbleator machine. That way the water I put back in the machine was already ice cold and I just had to top it off with some fresh ice every round. I am betting using more fresh water will make cleaner hash on round 2 and 3 especially. Would love to see a pic of your setup (the frame 1 gal in particaular).
