The reality tho is that its simply not just the thc that gives us the goodstuff. In fact its the thc without the things like cbd (which are proven in clinical tests to be protective) that does bring some of those negative aspects to using; psychosis related issues for example. So I think keeping things as natural as possible with all of the different cannabinoids in the plant is probably most sensible :-)

that makes no sense :) all the psycho active ingredients are in the trichomes that we smoke. therefore, pure trichomes = pure high

Well I finally got around to trying this and have had some very dissapointing results so far :cry: No sure exactly what went wrong. I have a resinator machine I have used for years and it always worked very well so I am not a newb to this type of method.

I used 5 5 gallon buckets. I filled the machine with water and 40 lbs of ice. I used 2-400 micron bags and 2-200 micron bags for a total of 4 bags. I put about 3 lbs of material in them total. Good shake too not junk. Let the water get very very cold before adding the material. Set it to a gentle cycle. Would run for only about 2 min and then go to a wpin cycle where I would right away put it back to gentle cycle. I probably got a total of maybe 6 min agitating where my mini machine has a timer for 15 min. Not sure if the short time was the issue or if it was maybe the cycle :-? or something else.

I started by pouring into a 120 micron mag to get the junk out I dont want. Then went to my normal 43 and then 25 micron bag. I tried my 73 but didnt seem needed in this process. I then ran it a second round with fresh water and about 20 lbs more of ice. I normally run it 3 times but after the first two went so poorly I called it a day after 2.5 hours and a sore back. Went through all the normal steps but just ended up with a very very low yield. :cry: I ended up with a total of 17 grams not even dried yet :shock: Probably end up around 10 grams dry. My little machine I usually get atleast 10% - 15% with 3 runs and 75% of the weight coming from the first two runs. So I should have gotten a bare min of 100 grams from this.

Any help or ideas would really be appreciated.

Thanks

i use a different cycle on my timer. it gently agitates for 18 mins. i run 3 runs. the more i run it the clearer my water gets. because i am using the machine with zipper bags the plant material never breaks apart. you can't really over agitate it in a machine.

i think you may not have agitated it enough. :neutral:


i have pounds of trim to run yet. but i have 100's of grams of hash already. i have more then i know what to do with, and even more yet to make. not sure what i'm gonna do with all mine at this point.

Thanks Fdd, I was thinking the same. Think I run it tomarrow on a regular cycle for a good 15 minutes and lots of fresh ice. I kept the trim in the bags and in the machine. I knew I didnt extract much off them and its still in there. I thought my bags were really big but after seeing your video mine are not as big as yours. I am using four of them though. I can put over a pound in each bag but instead put about 350 grams to give them some room. Added ice inside the bags as well like you do. Do you squeeze your zipper bag out after each cycle?

Yeah I have trim from the last two outdoors seasons .... I am going to get a lot of use out of this machine I bought :weed: Nice problem to have I guess but I always put it off until it has to be dealt with.

Okay well I had a lot more success today thank god :clap: Put the machine on heavy duty and ran it for 15 minutes another two runs (didnt have enough ice for a third) Ran through a 160 screen for waste then through a 70 and 40 screen. Ended up with a huge 150 gram baseball sized rock just hand sqeezed with screen. Broke it up and pressed the rest and had 125 grams. I think it will end up aroun 90-100 grams. Plus the 10 grams dry I got from the crappy fist run. I can live with getting a quarter pound of hash from 2 hours of work :weed: I will post of a picture later when I get a chance. Quality looks pretty darn good too.

From the depths of hell I'm back on RIU. Landed on this thread. Great info. I guess it's time to update pics and mix up some hash.

I don't think I've been on in a while.

Subscribed cause this is a baller thread.

I am seriously considering hiring an illegal immigrant to sift my bags for me. Well, not seriously, but it's a pain the ass. Nuff said.

Hi FDD2BLK, I thought I'd quickly share my 1st Ice Hash run with you, I used a Bubbleton/Pollinator that I bought on-line, after reading your thread so far I have learn't and taken note of several things to do differently next time round, to gain a better tasting better quality Hash. I wanted to say 'thank-you' for starting this thread its very helpful and has opened my eyes to some new techniques - STELTHY :leaf:
