Hey there aint nothing wrong with buying cheap bags when u first start. May be u cant afford really good bags atm. Or maybe u just wanna try it and see if its something u want to get into before dishing out a good amount of money. Everyone has to start somewhere...

At the risk of asking something that may have already been covered (I've only read about 70 pages out of the 170+ here), can I ask Matt (or anyone else) for tips on how to make hash directly from BUDS?

Lets say I wanted to dedicate one entire crop purely to making hash. I don't care to have any smokable flowers when I'm done; everything is to be used for ice-water hash.

-Given the choice, should I use FRESH buds, FROZEN buds, or DRIED/CURED buds for this? Does it matter? For example, if possible, is it best to go right from rooted plant, harvest, immediately mince the buds then toss them right into ice water for agitation?

-Any hints or suggestions on how to best chop up/mince whole buds for best agitation in the ice water? What's the ideal consistency/size of the pieces?

-Any other tips or tricks to consider on doing this from buds?

If this has already been covered, again, forgive me. . .maybe just point me to the relevant page(s).

EDIT: Just read another 50 pages here. . .still saw very little on this particular topic, except Matt saying that buds make good hash, but it doesn't make financial sense to do it.


As a secondary consideration, can anyone suggest any strains in particular that are especially well-suited to making hash from buds (as opposed to leaf/trim)?

Thanks.

Also wondering if anyone has ever used acetone to make hash. Same principle as butane or any other solvent just doesn't seem like many people use. Just curious because we used it a lot in chemistry labs to clean glassware of fingerprints and other oils, and to dry them faster. It dissolves oils quickly and evaporates quickly as well and can be found in any hardware store. Just curious if anyone has any experience. Thanks
Its been more than a decade, but yes, back when I was younger and stupider I've made solvent hash using acetone.

Cooked it outside on a carefully temperature controlled electric hot plate to prevent "unpleasantness".

Its been a while, but the stuff came out dark dark green/black in color and, as you can imagine was super-sticky, like thick honey.

This was long before the current "dab" craze. The way I'd smoke it was to take a bit with a pin, then smear it on the inside of a custom blown borosilicate glass pipe and cook the OUTSIDE of the pipe with a lighter until the oil started to smoke. Taste was a little "leafy" as you can imagine, but the oil would vaporize and you'd get a pretty smooth hit of vapor. One or two hits and that was enough. . .

Anyway, I'm not doing solvent extracts anymore. I agree with Matt and the premise of this thread that good bubble ("full melt") is FAR tastier, probably healthier, definitely safer to make, and even if it isn't quite as potent or extract-efficient as using chemical solvents, its still damn strong.

My Nobyl Wax is like microplaneing chewed chewing gum. What does get grated instantly melts on itself.

Fresh buds, carefully cut up to separate the calyxes as much as possible. Freeze at least 24 hours in my opinion. Fresh off the plant into the ice water is an option as well.

Heres some freshly grated hash made some SilverKush. It was made using FF Trim, homemade r/o ice cubes, and r/o water. I use payload brand bags. This is the 73 micron. I spread the product out very fine and dry overnight in a cool, low humidity room. IMG_0653.jpg
