the keif is super clean, he doesn't really NEED to do anything to it. i asked him if he wanted to do anything further with it ie: pocket cure or make ERL and then he asked for some ideas. poplars threw an idea out there, but i think we will all agree it was an unnecessary procedure.

cheers guys :mrgreen: I think it's clean enough, well the purest of it went into different jars, and i can't see any green in it even under my 30x scope, the odd tiny hair or fluff gets in probably off the mirror!, all in all, i got more than i anticipated, enough to try many peoples ideas ;) i pocket cured some today in a little glass jar, it changed the texture slightly, clumped it together, and it has a rather musky sweet smell, i dab it with the wooden end of my hash brush, and it holds to that, then i just drop it onto my cones, easy as. it kinda looks darker, but i could be wrong. I don't think i've been so bent for so long. i'm like a sloth lol, but smoked bugga all flowers really, so that's a bonus. Not that i'm running out or anything

you can basically run that dry ice hash through water again to sort of further purify it. but you're right it would make GREAT edible/tincture material.

however judging by the pics, if you just do a nice pocket cure that stuff should be desireable as is, imho.

it seems that you all forgot to read that last line when you decided to reply.

yes :) thankyou for that idea Poplars! i'm not sure what it did, it all smells different now, can it get mould easily in powder form? should i leave it open in the jars now and then? i'd hate to waste it, 48 grams in 1 jar is quite a thick clump, not dense or anything you know what i mean anyway

i'm sure you will be fine.

i had a lump the size of a tennis ball that i made by putting in a plastic bag and twisting it until it formed one solid piece, it broke up quite evenly with no signs of any nasty stuff in there.

wow! that must of been a few ounces worth! ouch, my mrs kept telling me, don't you think you got enough?? huh?? I said 'i still gotta shake it more yet, and swap bags, and then another bucket worth' lol she watched in horror knowing how little amount it takes for her to be blazed of a match head size crumb of hash! i was shocked aswell, i can see how people go overboard, i stopped when i could of gone longer, but i didnt need any more than what i had. the bud resin is great, real tasty stuff :)

it's a more civilised way to smoke i find, smoke less + get more high = winning.

just saving up for the day i can afford my hash making washing machine like matt

I just got a 5 gallon machine and ran my first run with veganic OG fresh frozen trim. 24 hours after extraction the IWE seems dry but its so gooey and soft it wont come free of the 25 micron drying screen. I have ZERO experience running fresh frozen trim and have never had extract so sticky and golden :grin: RIZE UP....

1. Is it still wet? Just wait longer? (I live in the desert so it seems like 24 hours should do for small chunks)

2. Is it OK to freeze the 25 micron screen to make the IWE more brittle to remove it? Then just keep it (and my fingertips) COLD to grate it.

3. I already took a test dab off the 70 micron and it taffed right up into a string when pulled on, on the nail it didn't fully melt but tasted very strong and hit smooth. Is it ever recommended to dry the chunks whole before the microplane step if it seems like the material will be tricky to grate? (for dabs) Danks.



PS Anyone else lucky enough to see the eclipse tonight? It was quite the spectacle of nature. Made me feel good to see it with my friends and family. Strange how cosmic scale events can make us feel like part of the world again. It was sweet that everyone cheered together when it lined up just right. Peace and Alignment RIU!

Just read this whole thread and am stoked to get going on the IWE's now for sure!! Gonna have a bunch of sugar leave after i finish this run in a week, so it's awesome to have some where to educate before i drop some cash on gear and get my extraction on...:)

The bags and machines on x-trakto.com end up being a little more than bubble _ans stuff, but I don't mind supporting a small, craft hash maker at all!! Dope to see they they're made in OR too!! A 5 gal 5 bag set and a 5 gal washer for $380 will make me one happy gardener after harvest!!

Thanks Matt and all contributers to this IWE movement!! Jah bless

I bought 5 gallon bags a few years back. I played around with them, but never got serious about it, until finding this thread. Now I love dabs so much that I cut way back on smoking weed. I bought a concentrate bowl to use with my old school ROOR. I used to love my weed, but now smoking it makes me feel dirty.:?

The dabs are so clean and efficient. I do a dap and blow out smoke like I just cleared a giant weed bowl from my three footer. I have only made IWE with trim, but I am seriously considering washing some of my weed. If I recover most of the concentrate, I might start washing all of my weed. I am still a little :shock: about dumping expensive weed into the washer, but there is only one way to find out.

EDIT: I am using 220, 160, 73 and 25 micron bags. I dump the 160 and end up with 160-73 and 73-25 micron batches.

Can you please explain how to prepare dried and cured nugs for washing. Should I break them up? How fine?

Also, when I bought my concentrate bowl, the SALES GUY said that I needed a butane torch with vector butane. He said other stuff like propane will work, but gives off residue that is bad for your health. Any truth to this? I just bought a "fat boy" at Home Depot. It was only $12 and works great. If propane is safe for food, it should be safe for dabs?

I'm not Matt Rize but I usually just cut 'snapper' sized pieces off the main stem when I run buds. Make sure not to disturb the trichs....that's the key. Expose as much surface area as you can. :hump:

I use the blue 'fat boy' torch as well when I heat up my TI. I don't think it's bad for your health....but i'm no doctor

I have a question for the people that wash buds.
Lets say that you have enough weed to last exactly one week. If you wash that weed, how many days of IWE would you get?

I'm getting pumped on harvesting next week and getting my IWE on!! I hope on having close to 3/4 lb of sugar leaf and nugs going towards my first runs, so things should be melty for a while:) Still doing research on 5 gal bags and machines; looking at the gear from x-traktor.com- thoughts?

that shit is legit if you want cheap bags now.

if you wanna buy from a company that is bound to be around for a long time coming and will actually replace your bags if you get a small tear in them or anything that is within reason they will replace them for you, very high quality bags, then you'll wanna go with boldt bags.

www.boldtbags.com/


not saying xtractor wont replace your bags, I'm just sayin they probably wont be around 2 or 3 years from now.... boldt bags probably will.
