    HELP! Questions about Making Hash with Dried Ice

    I had a great harvest of my Bruce Banner Auto. And I am now looking to do some HASH :-)
    I watched the great video (link to Video https://www.growweedeasy.com/dry-ice-hash​ ) that Sirus and Nebula made complementing the article (Article link: https://www.growweedeasy.com/dry-ice-hash) and although lot's of info is covered, I still have a couple of questions that I am hoping our forum can supply answers to:

    1. I am going to use all the trims and lower quality buds as the "Material" to mix with the Dry Ice. The "material" is already dried according to good drying steps explained in many articles.
    The question is: does the material need to be cured?
    2. I am assessing if it is Ok just to make one run using the 120 micron bag, instead of doing two runs (first with the 72 micron Bag and 2nd with the 160 micron bag). The question is: is it worth doing the two runs or is it doing one run with the 120 micron gives me pretty good yield without compromising quality?
    3. Once I collect the hash as shown in the video, is it necessary to CURE the HASH? or is it ready to be used in a Vaporizer or Pipe?
    4. I plan to place the collected Hash in a small Masson Jar and use it mixed with Flower in a vaporizer and or small pipe (both have a metal screen). The question is: is it better just to do little hash balls to place directly on the vaporizer and or pipe and not mix with flower?

    Thank you very much for taking the time to read my post .
    Note, before posting, I did a search in the forum to see if my questions had been posted before and although I found many posts mentioning Hash etc, none were directed like mine are So I decided to try posting. Thx.

    1. You don't need to cure to make hash.
    2. The problem with dry ice hash is that the dry ice turns everything to dust the more you shake it. More shakes = more contamination with green material.
    3. That's a question of personal preference.

    I made hash much more efficiently with superior results using a Trim Bin. Here's the link: https://forum.growweedeasy.com/forum...gathering-kief

    Then I got a hash press on Amazon to make hash pucks.

      Thank you Alltatup, You made me aware on time, when I started to see the color diference of what was permeating from the 120 Micron, I stopped. I also collected in turns so that I could detect color diference. You helped me keep the Hask pure. Thx.

      Next time I will use the TRim Bin. In this situation isnt it a good idea to put all the rims in the freezer overnight?

      2by4Rich I wouldn't freeze--just get your trim properly dry. I'm not sure what you refer to with "rims."
      You don't want the trim so dry it turns to dust--just dry enough where all the good stuff will shake off easily. But with the TrimBin, I can work at it for quite a while and continue to gather kief the color you saw in my pics. I pretend I'm panhandling for gold.

      I tried dry ice a few times and it was so messy, the dry ice ruined my cooler (cracked it) and was a huge pain to clean up. So I'm not a fan of that method...

    If you are using a dry flower vape for your hash, you may want to consider not compressing the keif and just put the powdered kief in the vape. Personal preference.
    Don't worry, be happy, grow sticky buds.

      That’s what I do with my keif and it works a treat! Also nice to put a sprinkle of keif in the bowl with your bud

    Sounds like a winner.
