Hash talk

[Allotrope1000]

All of these hash posts are reminding me that I have 18+ oz that I need to make dry ice hash with.

Nice!!! I have those storage bags as well but have been hesitant because i also have jars. Do you find that they work as well as jars and do you use broveda packs?

Thanks!
I generally harvest at 30% amber and most of this material was about one year old. Both make it a bit darker in colour

Another run done, everything sieved for drying.

whew! That was a lot , about 850 grams total, basically 2 days.

Maybe 5-6 different strains.
One was mostly 1:1 CBD . Orange Cali sherbet and Ice cream cake
One was mostly Green Thai
One was about 40% ice cream cake CBD, 30% Tropic Thunder, a landrace and Going2fast Hot cakes made up the rest

Happy to see the consistent colour in the patties across the washes. Mostly brown/tan not really any green till the last wash or two. Means it is pretty clean.

On to air dry for about 5 - 7 days at 12.5C / 55f, and as dry as possible. I can usually get to 40% or a touch lower

Then heat press, and roll into temple balls for cure and store, and enjoying 😎

color looks great

All washed for full spectrum hash, collected 160-45 micron

The ice is only to cool the water , the water vortex removes the Trichromes.
You want to avoid the smashing of ice if possible as it increases the risk of plant matter contaminate.
Thats why I do it in the cold, less ice, and it also keeps things a bit less sticky for the separation phase

Checking my wash water temp. It reads temperature ( the small number)as well as PH
Not sure how ph is affected by temp but yes it needs calibration

Snowball hash, HA! I'm sure it's been done but you're my first.
I owe you a dollar, Smallgrow. Know what? I'm getting such a kick out of your deal that I'm bumping it up to two dollars American. That's just fabulous.

What's up with the pH pen, and it needs to be calibrated lol

[Smallgrow]

I did it!
2 runs of about 600g total, outside.
I had to vape some Acapulco Gold courage to get started. Temps between -6 and -11 C.
I had to quit after 5 washes of the second run cause the washer froze up and I couldn’t drain it. I figured that was a sign.

I still have a third run worth of material so despite being at it for almost 10 hours yesterday I’m going again today. It’s a lot of set up and clean up, plus running the drying room for a week. This way I’ll get it all done at one time.

IWH is some work for sure, but I think it produces the best product.

I’m gonna have to snowcheck this experiment, not enough time and extra energy atm to do it right… in the pole barn but….winter is long this is going on my list of, “to tries” 👏🏼 I hope one of my shoveling friends here, give it a whirl.

Isn't part of the deal with ice that it knocks things around in the bag? Trichomes, I mean.

[Smallgrow]

The real question is if it’s -10 in the hash lab do I even need ice? The purpose of the ice is only to cool the water, seems like I could do that without the ice. Less ice, less contamination from broken plant material

[Gator]

AMP do it , this might be fun 😀

First is first for the owed dollar. Ice is ice for bubble hash. Snow is ice. Is it more proper to use store bought ice or homemade ice? See, the rules are open to the person interpreting them.
Don't use the yellow snow. No owed dollar for using yellow snow.
