Long storey short I had my indoor crop go to shit with mites. (Threw everything at them with no luck as it was late flower) So chopped and now this is where i screwed up. I dunked them in water for about a min gently thinking thc is not water solluable and would effectively drown and remove the mites. Then bagged and froze them. End result being big ass blocks of icey bud. Any suggestions on next course of action? Ive got bubble bags so was thinking break them up add water and ice and make bubble hash but concerned since its got some ice on it will the trichomes be effectively loosened up and captured. Alternatively was thinking lay all the frozen bud on a mesh over a Rubbermaid bin and have a couple fans to blow over it and then make the bubble hash. Lastly as a third option using dry ice to make bubble hash but again would the ice on it impact extraction and if so would drying on the mesh with a fan be an effective way around it?

The ice on the buds should melt within a few minutes once it hits water.

Personally I would let it thaw out over a large Tupperware container and pour the run off in the bubble bags when time to make the hash

If water was a good solvent that could put THC into suspension extracts wouldn’t cost much. You’re worrying about nothing. In Mazar al Sharifi they don’t even touch the plants until they’re in snow. To make hash exclusively. Just do it like you normally would.
