Dude, fill your boots. I could really careless about how your make your hash. All I know is if my sift sits at room temp for even a couple hours it turns into clumps. No heat no water. If you can't get yours to do that without pressure and heat then it's not full melt hash.
I've smoked alot of different stuff over the years and personally, I've never had anything from Europe that impressed me as much as the stuff that is being made locally. CBN is the byproduct of thc breaking down... in my opinion thats a waste of good thc. I'm into flavour, and the terps you get from unpressed is what I'm after. Decarbing will happen when you put fire to it, no need to destroy the resin heads before you smoke it.... in my opinion. At this point, I'm done comparing European and north American... it's about sifting for me. I love making hash and I'm not "Leaving it to traditinal hash makers.
I dont want to turn this into a passive aggressive debate, your being dense and not admitting that if you want terps from raw keif, but thats kief not hash, it has a more flowery taste and more of a marijuana high its not hash
CLumped keif is not hash period, and yes I get clumps too fyi, who u thikn u talkin too?
THose clumps will never be same true "chocolate" oozy gewey balls of hash WITHOUT heat or even hand pressure if you dont want to make comercial bricks. CBN is essential to hashish, as stated if you want pure THC stick to sativas or smoke your uncompressed kief, real hashish is a process and pressure and heat is involved, as for destroying resin heads I dunno wtf ur talking about, the traditional heat and pressure is what melts the chocolate, the clumping you talk about there is no binding of the trichomes, and sorry to burst your bubble but CBN is essential yet again for the stoney hash high you will NOT get with kief, add decarboxylization and the THCA turns into the THC you claim to lose from CBN... which may I add the final amount of THC Is superior to original after this process even with the transformed CBN, cause of the THCA
Have a nice day
PS: You even said it yourslef, ou never had anything from europe to write home about, hence you aint had shit. And what you smoked was probably cut with crap and not even top grade
Its not about a matter of opinion this is where I think you fail to see the big pictures, this is your hed thinking kief that clumps is true hash, while it maybe a great delicacy of whatever premium bud, its still trichomes that have no gone through heat or pressure. As stated americans stick to wax and leave the hash to tradition or old school californians with rolling pins and celphane and ovens.
Btw show me some pics of the clumped kief. I saw some dark hash pics here in this thread, they cant get like that without heat and pressure.
