Ice Hash

Some simple steps to make a nice treat
first i keep trim in freezer until I have enough 100-200 grams,this is placed in a glass bowel with ice and mixed with a hand held mixer for about 5 min.

next we remove the veg material i use a simple strainer and rinse with the hose attachment on the sink the trim has lost its sweet smell by now and is tossed into the compost

Let the water stand at least 1/.2 hr to 45 min this allows the sweet hash to settle to the bottom of the bowel ,then siphon off the water ,use a hose or whatever you have available careful not to disturb the little jewels floating on the bottom

keep this under a fan or bright light to help evaporate the remaining water , at this point I scrape up the prize and place it on cellophane to dry further

keep an eye on it now your ready to start molding it into a ball

i started out with just over 100 g of trim and now have 2 grams of hash give it a shot

remember a little bit goes a long way, if you, have never smoked it before go easy until you know how it will affect you

Robert is right. I remember i first got hash and over smoked myself. i had the spinns. not a fun experience.
But thanks will favorite this page for future reference!
ENJOY!
+rep!

thanks PTS, i smoked too much at an aerosmith concert in houston last year , i couldn't even process the music i was wasted

i hear yah man, i was like trying to eat something to get my high down and all i remeber is like me not falling into my spagetti and meatballz. haha.

Hey robert, the comment about keeping it under a bright light, DO NOT DO THIS!! It will degrade the THC!!!! I just made some, leave it dry in a dark room and cool as you can the stuff will be ready for smoking in a day or so. Haze

thanks haze ,will do from now on i actually have mine on the top of a cable box it keeps temps in the mid eighties

mmmmmmmm.....bacon......

I have some trim from my last grow chilling in the freezer. I let the trim dry and then when it was dry i put it into the freezer. I wanted to make bubble hash with it but needed to order the bubble bags. Your method would save me about 65 dollars. Thanks for the great info Robert.

Peace and positive energy to you.

thanks man; quick question: Would it be beneficial to re-ice the trim strained out of the bowl? I figured you rinsed off the trim but would you get a tiny bit more hash if you did the process over again?

by the time i rinse the trim after mixing with the blender its lost all its hash smell , repeating the process might give a little more hash but will also increase the amount of veg. material that would get past the strainer

i am not to familiar with the whole ice hash method, seems pretty simple. My question is after you take the vegative matter out of the bowl could pour the broth through a coffee filter to remove even more contaminants?

i've been happy with the quality of hash at this stage, i will try some on the next batch , if you run some through a coffee filter let us know how it turns out

yeaa i ahve a thread similar to this called making hah from basic household items.. or sumthin like that.. pretty much the same thing.. i like makin hash this way.. i usually put the ice/water/trimmings in and empty peanut butter jar and shake the shit out of it for a lil bit.. and then stick it in my fridge for 1/2 hour.. then shake it up again... then pour the mixture through a spaghetti strainer... squeeze out all the leafy material that gets stuck on top... and then u pour whats left through a permanent (metal) coffee strainer (the ones that come with the big coffee makers).. and then i pour that through a paper coffee filter... it takes a lil while to get all teh liquid to go through the paper coffee filter.. but once its all through.. your hash is sitting in the coffee filter.. waiting to be molded... and dried.. and then smoked.. =D


** you should also put in ur guide NOT to throw away the leafy material after u strain it out.. tell them to put it aside.... and then repeat the preocess again.. wether it be what i just said I do.. or your method.. but if u repeat it.. your likely to get MORE hash again.. it wont be as powerful as the last batch.. but its hash.... soo regardless.. its still gonna be strong!.. i even managed to do it a 3rd time and still got sum more hash... just a lil tip for ya.. nice guide tho. and nice pics too! (like the bacon in the scale pic.. hahahaha)

thanks , everyone will take what they need from this thread as long as there are people willing to add info.how about a link to your thread chb444

hmm, uniqe process, id rather just use the bubble extractors...finer grades

with the small amount i grow , its not cost effective for me to purchase the bags , i'm happy with the quality i'm getting

surely this is just Gumby hash? i made up a batch yesterday for the first time. like you i can't justify the expense and effort of multiple micron bubble bags

a agreed.. its deff not worth the price of the bags.. i usually only grow 1-2 plants.. soo this way workes great for me! and i feel like if u let it set for long enough.. and do a good enough job mixing it up... you can still get sum pretty good quality.. mine always comes out bright gold (at 1st.. then it turns brown/black)

where those cuttings dry? as they looked wet. thought they had to be dry?

they hash turns oput a little better if you try to break it up or cruble it as much as you can before it dries.
and dont press it before you dry, it binds water to the trichs and you hash will be crumbly after a few days.

i heat press mine after it's dry. according to these instructions:
run your bubble bags.. and when you pull the screen, put the product onto the pressing screen, but DO NOT press it, as the screen would make you to believe.. just have a towel below the screen and let it sit there for a few moments to dry.. its also ok to gently fold the screen over the top and press around the extract with a paper towel.. this will help soak the water out slightly.. you are just trying to get a minimum amount of water out of it.. not pressing it.. then get a card and scrape (should be easy if the right amount of water is gone) the glob into a cardboard surface and chop it up gently with the card... do the same with the other grades of hash but keep them seperate while drying. after you have pulled all you want and have it gently chopped onto the cardboard go back thru 1 last time (should be more dry now, almost sandy but not quite. more like rocks) and chop it up pretty finely.. i try not to damage the trich heads as much as possible by mushing and rolling etc.. dont do any of that yet.. if the trich heads are pressed with moisture still on them, the thc and the water will bind and the hash will never dry properly.. so now you have a fine rocky/sandy product drying on cardboard. let this dry for 48 hours so it is COMPLETELY dry.. now you have that same sandy looking product but it will stick together.. you can grab a small little rock and roll it in your fingers and itll turn brown and stick together.. or you can press it which is very easy and you dont need a store bought press to do it.. in fact i think this method works better than the store bought as i have used both methods.. get a piece of cardboard the cutout size you want the brick of hash to be.. wrap plastic wrap around it leaving 1 end open to dump the hash into the void after you remove the cardboard. so as i said, take the cardboard out of the plastic wrap and pour the hash in.. seal the open side by folding over... make sure it is fairly tight in there. then get newspaper.. i usually for a 3"x3" size of cardboard will use like a 9"x9" of newspaper to wrap around a few times.. wet the newspaper part you are using very wet.. put the hash wrapped in plastic wrap in the middle of the wet newspaper and wrap the paper around it.. put the newspaper combo on a frying pan on an electric stove on very low for like 2 mins on each side.. i usually flip a few times on each side.. u are just heating the hash so its easy to work with.. its ready when u look at it and its brownish color.. then get a glass (santa cruz lemonade organic) bottle.. pour boiling water about half way inside.. get a work glove so you dont burn yourself and roll the glass bottle back and forth over the top of the newspaper which is lying on a tile or some flat surface.. roll 1 side up and down.. left and right.. then flip and repeat.. do a few times for maybe 3-5 minutes.. unwrap from the newspaper but leave wrapped in the plastic wrap.. your hash should be dark brown and compressed together LOOKING... but leave wrapped in plastic wrap and put in the freezer for at least 10-15 minutes.. an hour is good.. take out and unwrap it and there you have it.
