Hash or not?

As harvest draws closer I'm gonna have to decide what to do with all that sugar coated trim. Just curious as to what you all do. I kinda hate to turn a few oz of trim into a few grams of hash. What to do?
 
I use my trim for hash or butter or canna caps or a wide variety of eatibles - it depends on what I'm low on. I've even made some decent RSO though cured buds are better.
 
Rick Simpson Oil (aka Pheonix Tears, hash oil, cannabis oil)..it's more of a medicinal way to access the health benefits of the CBDs - at least for me.
 
Dry ice hash is the way to go with the sugar leaves AND the rest of the leaf trim from the plant. Chop it up, let it dry and extract using the micro pore bags (see the tutorial video on GWE). The hash is very versatile, You can smoke it by it's self (very smooth if you don't do too much at one time!), sprinkled in a doobie for a boost, use it in edibles, and if You pre-bake it, it makes a very pleasant and relaxing tea in hot water. Another benefit of the dry ice hash extraction is that by separating most of the 'green' matter out, there is not as much need to let it cure before using it. So far, I have only used this on the leaf trim and stems, not on the buds. Doing the trim this way make it easier for me to get thru the bud curing period! (LOL)
 
You know, I looked and looked for information about "curing" the trim before making dry ice hash, and couldn't find anything. But I figure that what's good for bud psychoactivity has got to be good for trim psychoactivity, so I dry my leaves first, and then I leave them curing in a roomy jar until I get the aroma I want... Then I freeze their little asses...

I dry/ cure my trim..anything with sugar. If you do dry ice hash with predominantly trim it will be more green than gold. I use it for tinctures, add to bud butter for more punch and have also made coconut oil capsules with it.
I figure if proper curing removes "racing thoughts and paranoia" I want that for my hash.
i have posted these images before but will send them to you anyway :)
the hash happy face is trim
the dishes are of bud and trim

Ah thanks PuravidaC! And Joker more info: Sometimes i get paranoid and think everyone is PMing how they wish I would just shut up.
And after I posted the images I checked my current batch..at 10 freezer / shake days considering wether to dispense or not. I wish I could access "testers" easily. Not having access today I just threw back a few drops (with cheese as it eases the sublingual burn of 190 proof-or Bacardi 151 for that matter). I am a "cheap date"so I should be able to discern shortly if it is ready or not. Having dealt with rain and wind damage Saturday-crashed Cacti, smashed cymbidiums, broken pots, new pots, sawing cacti, planting again...etc...my body is stiffer than shit so i should be getting some relief shortly. If not the shake will continue.

Tinctures from hash or trim and or bud or all is such an economical use of the delicate remains. Lasts forever in freezer, is transportable, easy to titrate. Hard to measure what will work with seasoned folk-how much is good. Edibles-for me personally are to unreliable..I want to know where I am quickly. If not dry ice hash Kief is great in smokes, great budder or addition to budder.

Back to hash: it has many uses. I too follow Sirius's video on GWE...I have joked with them how no one is sweating while shaking 5 lbs of dry ice for 5 minutes straight..and shaking more and more LOL. I pooled salty droplets over my first batch.
here are a few images of storm work I resolved..and the tincture is kicking in..I'll have a few more drops and leave it in "the rough". For a few more days.

Wow, Tika, you really got hit by the torrential rains out your way!! Your cacti are gorgeous, and I"m glad they were ok!! (I've been growing succulents for decades.)
 
Hi Tika, I saw on the news that So Cal was going to get hammered with weather and thought about who lived there and I remembered that you were. Hopefully you didn't get it too bad. I see some folks really got messed up good losing everything! Glad you're ok.
 
Every drop of water is a good drop. Every new weed is a good weed. And the systems certainally re engage us with the landscape. I might even get a fishing liscence this year!
 
All Tatum I used to fish all year long even blue gill was great. The plants need me ..so it will limit the adventure but I'm good with that!
