I'm going to make hash using the Iso-propyl method, but was wandering how much it takes to do one 4ft plant? Thanks.

then you are making OIL, not real HASH.


Got some trim leaves???

Fan Leaves????


HASH, or Hashish, is caked and baked kief, formed into a chunk, clump, or patty, or solid lump. . Kief is extracted trichomes (resin glands)

Let me revesrse that.

Those so called crystals (slang term) that appear on the bud leaves, are called trichomes, or trichs.
When removed, the trichs are callled KIEF. KIEF is gritty, and sticky.,,,,sort of like very small granuales.
If you remove the trichs (KIEF) and collect them into a mass, they called HASH.
Frozen or very cold trichs are removed easier. You can use a silk screen, or a Kief Box, or bubblebags, or a Space Grinder to remove and accumulate them. Again, we get them from the "trim leaves", leaves trimmed from the buds, or we can just use the buds. The resulting HASH is very high in THC, a Mind High..
When I think of OIL, I think of taking the EXTRA leaves, the FAN leaves, and drying them, grinding them up in a blender, with High Octane or High Proof Isopropyl Alcohol, or a liquid that is very evaporative, like the dangerous Butane Liquid.. You mix the blended leaves with the Alcohol, and then evaporate the alcohol out, and you have OIL left..it is like a thick TAR. Not as high in THC, but very high in canabanol., and veyr much the body high.

Here is HOW:

you will need is some 100 or 90 proof isophyl alcohol.
The leaves need to be dried and from female plants.


And you will need a PERMANENT COFFEE FILTER........ABOUT $3 AT WALMART.
HASH OIL is not really hash oil. It is the oil of the leaves. They just call it HASH OIL.


Very simply, keep your FAN or SHADE leaves. The leaves that do not have visible trichomes on them. Put them in open shoe boxes or card board boxes, in the dark, in a dark room, or under the bed. Let them dry for 7 days, stir them daily, to make sure they are dry and do not mold. Then freeze them or save them in a dry box or paper bag.
You fill half a blender full of the crumbled dried leaves.
You add half a bottle of alcohol, the highest strenght you can find.
BLEND them up. Add some move leaves and alcohol and blend them some more.
Get a NON-DISPOSABLE coffee filter, it is micro-fine, and strain them, keeping the liquid. That liquid is alcohol and oil, half assed mixed. Then you evaporate the alcohol out, takes a week, maybe 2 weeks, depending on how much alcohol you used. But be patient and let the alcohol evaporate, leaving a very sticky, THICK oil. It is almost like TAR. VERY GUMMY!

You sill need a small sealable bottle to store it in,.

It is MESSY, use a stainless steal bowl.

What you are doing is mixing alcohol and oil, and then separateing it later.
Just like oil and vinegar salad dressing, they mix, but then they separate.
You use evaporation to separate them, that is why you use alcohol. WATER will not work!
Get the proper pipe, I like a glass bowl, and put one half drop on the end of a needle or pin, hold the flame under the bowl until the oil smokes and then hit it! Make sure you are near the sofa or a chair!










To make that hash oil, you got to have a metal fine mesh filter. A permanent non-disposable coffee filter works great. $3.00 at Walmart!

VERY IMPORTANT; IF you make the OIL, you have to let it evaporate for a week or two weeks. IF you smoke the alcohol, it will really mess your lungs up.

Kief Box:


[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Price:$65.00[/FONT]

This is a WICCA Kief box, the very best one on the market. There is one slightly larger and one slightly smaller, and you'll need one to make HIGH GRADE blonde Lebonese or Blonde Afganey Hash. You can buy them at a "head shop" or "smoke shop" or "herbal accessories" store or order them off the internet. Do NOT get a GRINDER Box or Spaceship Box. They make low green or brown grade hash.

Left over fan leaves make OIL. The left over trim leaves are for making HASH.
Those CRYSTALS, (slang term) on the leaves are called trichomes, while they are still on the leaves. In Europe, they call them resin glands. AFTER you remove them, they are called KIEF.
After you bake them, into a lump or chunk or cake, they are called HASH. That is where the HEADY HIGH THC is.

Most people make HASH a difficult way, called Bubble Hash with ICE and Ice water. If you google HASH, youtube, you can watch 300 videos on how to make hash. The most difficult way is BUBBLE hash with ice water and bubble bags. The Ice water and blender method is easier.

I use a strainer, or filter or screen, that is in my kief box, to remove them.
MUCH EASIER FOR ME!.

After you save up the trichs, or KIEF, you put them in a cellophane packet from a pack of cigarettes, pack it, use a roller to press it and make it hard. Tape it up with cellophane tape, wrap it with wet newspaper, tape it again, bake it at 200 degrees for 5 minutes on one side, and 5 minutes on the other side, then roll it again with a rolling pin or large glass, , pressing it again, and bake it again twice, 5 minutes each side.

You really think dumping ice and water in a bucket, stirring and then lifting out the bags is the most difficult method?!? Seems to me to be the easiest method... and allows for a clean (no BHO, no alcohol) final product... just my two cents.. thanks for the info on the wicca box.. was looking for one and that seems like a nice one.

yes, it is more difficult than sitting on my fat butt on the sofa and stirring my frozen trim leaves around in my wicca box while I watch a football game at the same time. Plus, I still get to keep and smoke all my buds instead of throwing them in ice water.

and some nuts, or popcorn, something hot and spicy. maybe a friend over visiting tht ndoes not talk too much.
And then break out the HASH to be sure he doesn't talk to much! LOL!
 
I don't want to diss anyone's product. However back in the day, let's just say I had lots and lots of left over trimming and fan leaves and the like. So a few years ago I purchased the Bubble bags, I paid $220 plus shipping. I tried them for 2 years, wondering if it was me, not getting the directions, it wasnt. I followed the directions to the t dozens of times. Not once was it worth it. You get several grades of low level leftovers, the first bag, which I believe was the ed one was the trash there was nothing usable in that bag and as the water and the crystals passed through the remaining bags, it was supposed to collect the trichromes, and then you scoop them out put them in a dry warm place on a desicant of some sort and sure enough it would dry.

The problem was that the first collectable bag was always the fullest and it was always a harsh nasty smoke with not much effect. The last bag would collect a gram or two which was white in color and not bad but certainly not worth the effort of, icing, blending (i used a multi speed drill set to low with a paint mixer attacment.) And then the time it took for the last 2 bags to drain half a day to a day if you stirred it very gently it would literally drain one drop at a time. So you had to set up a way to let the bag hang and just wait and stir. Way too much work. And then you are left with this wet clump of trash to dispose of. I tried using more tried using less, I tried everyway imaginable, I dont give up easy. In the end when I moved I just left them at the old house. Oh and I forgot to mention that you have to clean them out one by one and then hang them to dry if you want to keep them like new.

I will say they were sturdy and well made and at first I thought I was going to get my "Kings Ransom" as promised by the manufactures. Unfortunately that was never the case. But in my humble opinion, it's too much work and hassle for almost no return. Kief boxes are the way to go. I have had to quit smoking as I got a job with a government agency that would very much frown upon that type of activity. Not to mention the pop tests that they spring on you. The money they pay me and the benefits are worth having to give it all up. But I do miss it. But the point is, dont expect too much and dont fall for the hype. And trust me when I tell you at one point I had pounds of excellent trimmings that I wasted in those stupid bags. If you are willing to settle for very little, and dont let anyone tell you it's easy, nothing good or worthwhile in my life has ever come easy. But if like I said you are willing to settle for a whole bunch of nasty, and a tiny bit of gold. then go for it. Other wise a grinder and a kief box for under $75 and you will be much happier and make some cash too, my friends were willing to pay $25 a gram for the blonde kief. I couldn't give away the brown stuff. And who would sell the good stuff when there was so precious little. Evrytime I started to make bubblehash I was optimistic this time would be different, two years of trying once a month or so. I can honestly say, there are far better and less expensive ways. Good luck going forward and always be safe. That's one thing I dont have to worry about anymore and you dont realize how much time you do spend worrying til you are not worrying any more. So be safe

I use a 4 bag set and my largest collection bag always has the least amount in it. The last two (73u, 25u) have the most. I haven't compared it to anything else, the stuff I've made is the only hash I've ever seen, but my pothead friends can't get enough of it. I will say they are a pain in the ass though, I wish I had an icemaker.
