Thanks for the input. You are totally correct. I find making bubble in the summer is way more difficult than in the winter. In the summer I will use almost twice as much ice per run because I have to keep adding more during the wash.
Okay, Ill come out of the closet and say that I used to work at a well known dispensary. While working there I convinced them to stop carrying BHO as there was a lot of bad local press about idiots blowing up apartments. But properly purged BHO is awesome, and rare IMO. Good BHO should not be sticky or oily, but more like an off white-wax, imo of course
haha touche!Matt Rize - But the machine gives me time on rollitup
Sounds good to me man. Going to give this method a try over the weekend. I'll post back some results.
Talk about bag apeal! Good lawd!! haha nice stuffMy blackberry hash picts show both drying methods together. The brown candy is simply broken up by hand, the gold powder was grated, then combined to make this image. That was my secret, but now it is everyones
The latest info on terpene and terpene levels, and their medical benefits is really a trip.These are grated/dried/cured hashes: The top pict (romulan) is half melt, and the lower (sour d) is full melt. Same trichome sizes, same methods. The oil soluble terpenes are what makes hash melt, and sour d is a full melt strain. Romulan is not. They are equally potent.
I like keeping a mix around. Can change it up. Top flowers with the unpressed, and usually use the pressed on it's own.As for pressing, that depends on where it is going... if you feel me. I prefer to smoke unpressed/untouched hash, as it is perfectly pure and smokeable after curing. Dispensary buyers operate on false beliefs surrounding hash, and unfortunately I have to cater to these falsehoods.
This is some of that same romulan bubble, but pressed and sprinkled with unpressed romulan bubble. Just for comparison.
Good to know.
Thanks mang. Wooden spoon as drill bit was as epiphany of mine. Then it became all about find the "perfect" spoon, lol. Round is better than rectangle. Just kidding, I don't really know.
I use bubbleman's gear, and have no complaints. Nylon seems to work great. But the bags will go moldy/mildewy if left wet and dirty. I compulsively rinse and hang-dry my bags. They have to get 100% dry within a day IMO to be safe. I sometimes clip them to the ceiling fan and turn it on to help them dry faster.
Hey thanks. I let the dry trim soak in ice water before beginning agitation for two reasons. First: to chill the trim. I make my own ice, so freezer space is always limited. Second: is to rehydrate the plant matter, so it will not crumble or break-up. This gives cleaner separations.
hmmm. i need more info. waxy is very good, hard is not bad. how are you breaking it up to dry?
Ahh, OK that makes a lot of sense. I've noticed the same thing on my runs. If I have some shake that I feel is too dry I will re-hydrate it by slipping a tortilla into the bag the day before I freeze it in preparation for the next batch. Over-dried material definitely results in contaminants in your hash.
For ice makers, no I make mine the old fashioned way with lots of trays. I prefer round edge ice cubes, and the larger the better as CA is hot most of the year and I like to do run after run, re-using the unmelted ice from previous runs. I'll also say that this week my local water temps are super low, making the process way more efficient.
Ah dang, no roll-ups in stock right now lol. But I have lots of freshly cured "rize style" granular bubble, that is ready to make into rollups. I'll make some fresh roll-ups this weekend and document the process. I'm excited about the sour d, it looks really amber so the rollup should take on a nice hue. Forgot about the rollups mo, thanks.
