Well, on you're 1st post alone you specify you need atleast 4 oz. That is a preference not a fact. I have seen TONS of guides and videos using 1oz. You asked about my flowers, they were definitely ready and were 80% indica. GG4 x 100% indica. I know that Sativas make lonher stalks and smaller heads and Indicas make shorter stalks and fatter heads so that would've been fine. ED Rosenthal himself(pretty famous in hash and MJ as a whole) said Glue is a top 5 for hash making. In fact he quotes 3 different samples of Glue grown by seperate people hitting 20% returns. No videos or tutorials have washed more than 3 times and most only do 2. 12 times is way to ridiculous. Grow weed easy uses 1 oz and washes 2x and get 6.? grams or about 20%. I don't discredit your abilities but i don't agree that i used to little, not properly done buds(definatley not trimmed good), not a bad strain for hash nor that i should've done it 12x. I do have a Blue Dream and frosty as all hell Green Crack comming down in 4-5 weeks latest and going to do trim only to see if i can get anything. I feel i did it right but only got a tiny amou t from 73 and 25 screen. Wouldn't even say a 1/2 gram. Really was a waste so i did something wrong. Maybe too little ice or way too much water. IDK. The ice was atleast 2 cubes thick on top and bottom and water went about 6" past the ice. Maybe water needs to be just covering the ice? Pics of my plant used.
I wouldn't ever quote ed. Hes. little behind on all the techniques
Personally I hate making bubble with gorilla glue 4. I grew it for 3 years. It's one of those greasy strains that takes about 8-10 washes to collect all the bubble. I use a 10 gallon washer or hand stir in 20 gal bags / trash cans. I prefer washing strains that take 4 -6 washes . Glue doubles the work load and the amount of ice and water. A 4 min wash, draining, straining, cleaning heads with a sprayer, wicking moisture and removing. Takes me 45 min total per wash. With glue that's 8 hours or being on my feet. Just for bubble
I don't have an RO system. So I fill up 5 gal jugs of water and make my own ice. Never use tap water for bubble. I go through about 30 gallon of water and and 30 gallons of ice. That adds up too.
Then also clean every thing with peroxide and 99% alcohol before initial wash and after last wash. Bags only alcohol. Peroxide will damage the bags.
The 3 wash videos. Are just basic tutorials. Matt Rize's videos he was washing sour diesel. That dumps all the heads in 3 to 4 washes. Every strains, cannabinoid profile.and terpene profile is different. Those are all factors in washes. Frenchy videos he does 8 washes, nikka t's video he does 6 washes. Bubblemans videos he even does 4 to 10 washes.
If you look up hyroot pharms on YouTube. I did a 3 video tutorial on making bubble on a budget (a few years ago). Each video is 5 min showing ech phase. I think I only show 1 wash. I did several washes though.
Typically you want more ice than water. Than vary with washers depending on their speed. You do want to be gentle so not to bet up the material too much so you dont get any plant matter in the hash. So being gentle is key to the best quality aside from starting material.
With yours. I'm thinking now you needed to.do several more washes especially since its glue
