Hash talk

[Saeteinn]

On the QWISO subject, I would not consume anything made with isopropyl. I doubt that here's a safe way to remove all of the iso from the end product leaving it unsafe to consume.

I still have a gallon of the 100% ISO stuff in the freezer and nicely dried trichome encrusted trim from the four autos sitting on cardboard in the basement. Maybe 2oz, need to sort some decent coffee filters this week and will run it as QWISO.
I'm loving smoking these autos. The sativas I've been smoking just don't have the effects on me they used to have, even after taking a four week break from smoking.

Word!!

[Bluey]

I don't see the problem using ISO. It serves a perfectly good purpose and if you work it correctly and using the good stuff 99.9+% purity you just can't tell how it was done by smoking it. The ISO is gone

[Gingerbeard]

Experimenting with drugs.
1.4ish grams of 220 hash dissolved in ISO, frozen, strained through a 20 micron screen, dried.
The little green turd is the money. It don't dab particular smoothe but my esophagus don't object and I'm sure it's way smoother than the beginning 220. The taste is hashy and the smell in the banger is... neutral? Anyway, it isn't nasty.
The little brown pile is the powdery strained out biomass.
Now, don't y'all be goin' on hating me for using ISO. It was an experiment.
Is it QWISO? Is it RSO?

Smallgrow in the handful of times I've made bubble hash, this is the first time the bags have come clean with just a wash. The screens are clean. The sides are clean.
I am the first to admit I am no hash maven. I could probably tell the best from the worst in a bowl, but the 25 smoked as smoothe as the 73.
Perhaps trichome size has something to do with quality? Return? High?
'cause seriously, I cannot tell a difference visually or otherwise between my 25 and 73 micron hash. Except the 25 has gone a little bit darker.

[Smallgrow]

In my personal experience the 25 isn’t good hash. Ive tried it a few times and have been disappointed.
That fine mesh also clogs up fast and holds up the production as it won’t drain. I’ve stopped using it.
If it desent get caught in my 45 it goes down the drain, which can be hard to make peace with. It could be used for edibles I suppose.
Unfortunately a lot of the small bag kits don’t include the 45, I have to buy the 8 bag set to get it

[Gingerbeard]

Got to louping my hash after reading about different qualities by micron size. Everything boils down to how much particulate you have in your trichomes.
Up real close, I cannot tell the difference between my 73 and 25.
At a distance, the 73 is a little darker than the 25. My uneducated self would say the 25 micron is a better, cleaner hash than the 73 because of the color.
Am I wrong, again? Why am I wrong, again?

[Smallgrow]

I use 190 to catch the leaves ,160 then, 45 is my work bag. That gets you the full spectrum product.
I use 5 gallon full mesh bags and between 200-350 grams of dry biomass per run. Typically I will wash and strain it 5-10 times

Exactly what the dong was trying to say.

[Gingerbeard]

Huh-huh... you said dong. You even said you were going to say dong.
I do not relish the idea of the 5g's. You might have gleaned from previous posts that I have little space to work in and water only the old-timers drink.
Here's an idea.
What about washing in a 5 and straining the wash in 1's? I mean, after you pull out the plant matter there is much less to work with.

[Going2fast]

Don't waste your time on anything under 5gal. That's what I'm saying dong need the 9 bag set. Get a good 4 bag around those parameters and your good. Don't have to be exact.

[Gingerbeard]

And how much weight do you put in your 5-gallon?
My harvests are in the 6-8oz range. I need new bags and am looking at either 1 or 5-gallon. There is a person selling 2-gallon but he wants $20 per bag, plus shipping. Ain't doing $20 per if I can get 5 bag sets for $40.

[Going2fast]

I use 220, 120, 90 and 45. Everything in the 220 bag gets rewashed. I do at least 3 depending on the bud. I mix everything in a 5 gallon bucket and a paint mixer on a drill on low then pour it into another bucket with the bags.

[Gingerbeard]

You bubble bag users. What size do you use and how much material do you put in a bag?
