Lacy's Harvest and Attempt to Make Hash for 1st Time

Ouch, I've got a batch of iso drying right now... I was too scared to use the stove, so I'm letting it air dry and trying to vent it. Still freaks me out that if I light a joint, I could blow my face off.

Oh goodness. I know what you mean about the hair. Thats why I keep my gurl in a short tom boy look. The maintenance is just too much for me. I mean I love my dalls and all but when I am spending more time on her fur than my own fur then something's just WRONG

Si last night and this morning I did the ENTIRE process all over again and here are the pics. I had a few of these containers full of this stuff which is very sandy and smells delish. I squeezed out all the excess water that i could in my hands and then wrapped them in 100& cotton and then put the packages in between to pices of solid maple wood added some clamps and they are now drying out on the back deck as I type.

So how long do you think I will have to wait?????

Does anybody know Not that I am impatient or anything

Heh mine's a little yapper too. Just stares at me and barks all the time when he wants attention. He's only 6 months now, and when I was growing he loved my plants and would always be licking the resin off my fingers when I would handle the buds. The only thing I don't like about having a yorkie is maintaining their hair...

No way, I wouldn't light up anywhere near that room. I'm even afraid to flip a light switch in that room.

I never smoke upstairs in the house and now I always go outside so if it is only a flame issue then I am safe. I hope.

I have some little bricks. This is fun.

BlazedUpPanda said:

hahahaha.... people do do it all the time, you jus need a good extractor... from a safety point of view though i reccomend using an electric hob rather than an open flame as it is slightly explosive even then cos of the sparks caused by the thermostat u should use an extractor..

good luck with the current hash making though.. it looked real good as those pics... depends on how wet it was and its surface area how long it will take to dry... so you dont want to unwrap as soon as it feels dry to the touch you gotta wait a bit longer.. hope it all works out...

One of the biggest mistakes is leaving the mason jars too long in the fridge. It says to leave a least 30 minutes and that just wasn't enough but I left it so long that part of the sediment that was supposed to stay at the top floated back down to the bottom. Its the ice and friction that separates the two but if you don't take advantage of it right away then the process is lost.

Its still out on the deck. i hope I remember to bring it in because we still get heavy frost here in the mornings.

I don't understand what happened... did you filter the green stuff or finally skip that and clamp it?

You should consider a dry method of hash making.

If it helps I have made some great hash if I do say so myself. I dont want to come off as a know it all and I know of a few ways to make it but heres how I do It.

1. Fresh weed works best as you dont get as much leafy material in the final product. If its dry (i save all the shake at the bottom of my bags to make hash with) remove all stem seed ect.

2. Place weed in freezer for 10-15 min. It

3. Get a big glass bowl or a two gallon bucket. Fill it half way with water and CRUSHED ice. The crushed ice just works better for this.

4. Remove weed from freezer dump it in the bucket with the water and ice.

5. If you use a spoon, mix it till your arm is going to fall off then do it 5 more min. I just use a hand mixer and mix it for 15 min.

6. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bulk of the weed.

7. Stir up the remainder and pour it through a colander into a glass pitcher to get the rest of the leafy crap out.

8. Put pitcher in fridge to rest. I have done this for hours and with all the leaf out from steps 6&7 dont get much trash in the hash.

9. Slowly pour most of the water out watching the resin to see when it gets to the edge of the pitcher so you dont pour it down the sink.

10. Pour the rest of the mix through a coffee filter. You may need to add a touch of water to the pitcher and swish it around to get all the glands in the filter. Let drain

11. Scrape the glands off the filter and spread them on some cardboard to dry.

12. After its dry you can press it how you like I have a small hand press like you see in the mags. I had a guy at the local machine shop make it.or just sprinkle some on a bowl and enjoy.
