Hey Lacy,,,I'm doing the same as you
Got some buds set aside for hash making.
I have made hash a couple of time before using this method....

Don't know if you've seen it, but it is a very easy way of collecting pollen/kief to make your own hash. You can literally turn things round from trim/bud to hash in an hour or two....I was surprised how much pollen I collected from just trim, I've never tried this method with bud before. I guess it would work just as well, but you would collect a shit load more pollen.....nice!
I'm going larger scale this time and have just ordered some bubble bags to make my own bubble hash, I'm hoping the post man will bring them today actually. I was looking at the bubbleator as well, but decided on just the bubble bags (7 bag system) in the end as it goes down to a lower micron final bag (25 micron), so you collect more of the good stuff. With the bubbleator bags, this finest of pollen would just be washed away!
Good luck with your hash making. I look forward to seeing your final products.
