That's pretty much what I'm doing at the moment too payne, just running a bunch of new strains each run and picking the best one or two, then rinse and repeat
No doubt doc, I'll give it a try next run I think after I ditch a couple of the strains i'm running right now, the pics of the dog looks great and i'd definitely run a non hermie prone pheno for sure

Hell yeah doc! Sounds like a solid line up! What's the Nibru all about? I don't think I've heard ya mention that one before.
So check this out. Last night I got really baked and came up with an idea. Bare with me now, it might be completely stupid and I may have wasted an ounce of buds, but if it does work, it will be AWESOME!
So I took a bowl and filled it with water. I then put an ounce or so of buds in the water and mixed it in there. I then froze the water/bud mixture over night and made a big bud ice cube. I am now letting it thaw out.
Here's what I was thinking. Making bubble hash is only about getting the trich heads to come off, that's why we use washing machines or hand stir it for a while to agitate it and get the heads to come off the buds.
I'm thinking that the friction created when the bud gets frozen into the ice and then is thawed, it could be enough friction with out manually stirring or using any equipment besides bubble bags.
After it thaws I will drain through a work bag and use a 45u bag for my catch bag. Zero agitation. I'm hoping it works, in theory I think it could, but I really have no idea. But IF it does work, it should make for some extra clean hash without any manual labor at all. I'll let ya know how it goes. If it does work I'm going to call it the Alpha Tech lol. Lets just hope I didn't waste any buds... I do know that when you freeze buds, the trichs are much easier to fall off, so I think freezing the bud in a solid ice block will do the same

The water is nice and golden, not green at all, this looks promising

The only thing I can see with it is some guys swear not to freeze the trichomes, and some like sub freeze it at the end.Hell yeah doc! Sounds like a solid line up! What's the Nibru all about? I don't think I've heard ya mention that one before.

I've heard the same thing too, but I figure this should be ok since a lot of hash makers freeze their buds prior to making hash. I've heard that freezing bud makes the trichs fall off, but that's exactly what I'm hoping will happen when freezing it. I hope I'm on to something lol 
Sub is a great hash maker as well, and matt rize also does fresh frozen/ or dried frozen before running. Man o man if this work it could save people so much time and energy! Just freeze a 5 gallon bucket of weed and make a weed icicle, thaw, drain into bags 
I'll update soon, probably a couple more hours until it's thawed. I wish I weighed the bud before i froze it so I could have an accurate yield, but I was more concerned it wouldn't work and I didn't want to waste too much. I think there's at least 20g in there, so 3g would be awesome

Damn, those crosses sound great man! Those are going to be fire for sure I always forget about blueberry strains, I used to grow them a while back but haven't smoked or grown it in some years. I miss the smell of it

It worked!!! Low yield but primo and I'm honestly not sure how much I started with since it was bone dry, so stoked!! Will be working this method more to improve. No water agitation, no solvents, no particle matter, no work, just dankness

Nice hash man Just smoked a bowl with doc, good times.
Sometimes the stoned mind comes up with amazing ideas. I am particularity good at culinary creations while baked as fuck.
Variety is definitely nice with smokes, I am missing some cheesy funky strains and skunk strains, been a while since I have grown either. I am anxiously awaiting the day when I can pop some more beans!!!
anyway, take care
stay free stay high

I am looking forward to doing a f2 cross on both of them and the granddad balls. I will be doing the f4 fireballs too.

Hell yeah man, skunks are great, I've never grown cheese before but used to always have a skunk variety, I think nl#5 was the last skunk, that and ice by royal queen, great hearty strains for sure.
Good luck doc, you're gonna kick ass out there I bet it feels great to not have to worry about bs of growing in a non med state, ththat's gotta lift much weight of your shoulders

Yea I did a super skunk indoor for a while, amazing rotten fruit skunk ass. I know that doesn't sound tasty, but it was a very flavorful weed that was potent as well. I did a skunk x Northern lights and a skunk x Apollo 13 outdoor and they both were great as well.
My super silver hazes x jabba's stash are getting a cheesy hash smell. its nice!
