Hash talk

There's something called static tek. With a paint roller and parchment paper? Combining this with dry ice might allow doing the frenchy tek.
All the bubble bags on amazon had bad reviews, so I ended up buying silkscreen mesh. Polyester 160 micron. Depending on how much I get I may try doing both the frenchy method and pressing into a brick

I guess just storing dry ice kief in a freezer would be ok, since it was frozen to begin with, though much colder than a freezer?

From my online research, it seems the Frenchy Cannoli tek doesn't really work with dry ice hash, it's too crumbly. But I imagine not having full melt may be better for a dry herb vape.

With hash brick molds, was wondering what would happen if I put that in an air fryer at 200F for maybe 20 minutes to decarb and melt everything, then pressed it in a hydraulic press. But if I'll just vape it, maybe decarbing it isn't necessary. Maybe I could just do the parchment paper+tape+wet newspaper method. But would like something easier in the long run.

QWISO is probably the easiest but is it true hash? Some say it's not safe to make or consume, others disagree with that if done properly. I don't know for sure either way.

https://www.growweedeasy.com/dry-ice-hash I'm planning to do this with just a 160 silk screen mesh, and just hand tearing the wet trim+buds apart before freezing. Because I'm lazy and trying to get a 20% effort for 80% reward solution for using with a dry herb vape. I read that you get better product if you shake very gently. So can do multiple passes with one grit or whatever. Trichomes fall off first, frozen plant matter progressively gets pulverized more.

If you wrap your temple balls in natural cellophane and put them in a mason jar somewhere, as long as it’s not above room temperature they should keep for years without freezing. I don’t think the potency loss will be any different.
Im pretty sure they didn’t have freezers in Afghanistan and India where Master French spoke of 10yr aged hash he was able to sample back in the day.
It’s the removal of almost all moisture content during drying that allows for long term storage without freezing

Dabber gers jealous sure

I like the molecular elasticization entourage effect. The MEEE. Makes things touchier. If I had a stuffed animal I would be curled up with it.
Dabber walks away from me if I get too touchy-feely.

Best you keep your molecules separated

1 decarbed gram of my stuff mixed with 4 tablespoons of salted butter as unsalted butter has no taste. Optic measure of honey until it looked tasty.
Ate my Cheerios with a teaspoon of honey butter. Took the dog for a walk.
I'm going to need for this to stop building. The peak needs to happen. Holy Jim Croce! I think my molecules are separating.
I had originally decarbed the gram to make tincture. 120 proof booze is the highest I can source from walk-in liquor stores and stores that, online, have in stock. But in reality have to special order from somewhere else. With that cue, I'm talking to my liquor store guy about getting a special order of 151. Or not. Maybe. I don't know. I haven't had alcohol in better than 9 years and the thought of it makes me urpee. The tincture would be for a buddy who thought he would be starting chemo. Turns out it is not chemo, and his appetite will not be compromised.

Yes darker green is usually more plant matter(contaminants), I can always see in the latter washes the patties of hash go from tan to green.
With bubble hash at least, the age of the bud/trim, indoor or outdoor, and trichome colour (ripeness) can really make a difference too. From light tan to dark dark brown

In this round of processing, I used the driest bud I have ever used. The color, taste, and smell are the same as I have ever made.
I'm cool with it in bud and hash. But the taste of dabbing C is off-putting.
Of course, my ultimate is the cleanest resin I can make. Of course, the folks who put out what I buy (and want to make) have more equipment than I will ever have and use solvents I do not care to use.
In resin, the darker the product the fuller the spectrum. It is like beer. Original beer had stuff in it that made it more of a meal than party fare. You got something out of it. Then people started refining the beer so it is more about getting messed up than nutrition.
Anything we make just ain't like the thing we made it from.

I don't know, but if you cure your buds first the chlorophyll will break down.

I'm reading about making different types of hash and what I getting from the different processes us that the darker it is the more plant material in it.

[Gingerbeard]

Well, brown water. Not green. I've always thought the brown color of the water was the dried chlorophyl. Am I wrong?

[Bluey]

Can not curing assist with getting rid of chlorophyll? Or do you make from fresh bud?

[Gingerbeard]

Just read the Ed Rosenthal tincture method in a post on the main site.
Soak ground weed in water for 90 minutes to help leech out chlorophyl. It's Ed and I have to give a master his dues but getting rid of all that extra water sounds like a pain in the ass. In my experience, moisture is the bane of marijuana extraction. Necessary, at times, but a pain in the ass to get rid of what you don't want.
I see where he is coming from. Something I alluded to in this first post was what to do with the water when making bubble hash. The water is super dark from the first wash and it gets lighter as it goes. I can see this playing a roll in quality. The final washes will have the purest trichomes with the least chlorophyl.
My take is getting rid of chlorophyl.
