that hash looks like takes a long time. bet tastes good tho

Takes a day at least before you've even let it dry out, but ithe time i largely just waiting and not any actual interaction with the process, gravity does it's own thing

 

[Griffta]

was it worth the effort tip top?

 

[tip top toker]

I got hash when i didn't previously have hash, and it cost me £3 for a couple of bags of ice and no more, can't complain The resulting produce will also rip your spine out your ears or arsehole or whichever is more blocked up at the time, lovely stuff

In terms of actual effort, say 30-45 minutes of mixing (you mix the trim with hash mutliple times, there is plenty more to be gotten from the plant matter after the first wash. After that i just leave it for 4 hours odd, use some hoepipe to quikly siphon the majority out, pour rest into a big mason jar and leave for 4-6 hour, then just use an aquarium hose to siphon the rest of the water out, then i just leave the rest to evaporate off. Very little actual effort involved.

Its easy peasy and proper tasty, like TTT says its all about gravity... 2 dys to turn it around, 1st day to prepare, settle n drain off and another to dry out. Its worth it though especially if you were thinkin of gettin rid of it anyway. Last time I used 40g of trim n stem and got a henry of tasty hash

ISO and Bubble respectively (gumby and bubblehash are essentially the same thing, the only real difference is that bubblebags use filters to get around the long wait required with gravity settling but the process of removing the trichs from the plant matter i identical, it is simply the removal of the water which is a different process.

When making gumby hash is it better to dry the trim first and then mix it or do u just freeze it straight after trimming and then mix it when u can be assed?

Can do both as far as I'm aware

 

[tip top toker]

Agreed, will work either way. Although with dry trim you naturally increase the possiblity of contamination due to small bits of plant matter breaking up etc, wheras wet trim will tend to stay together. Tends to be advised to freeze the trim for an hour beforehand so that all of the trichomes can easily be knocked off the plant matter by the ice.

 

[Mastergrow]

I've a plant ready in about a week so I might freeze that trim cos I've another two ready in about 3-4 weeks then try this gumby hash

 

[tip top toker]

Sounds good, freeze it and wait for the trim from the other plants as well. even with bubblebags, i don't enjoy doing small runs that'll net me a gram or two of hash, easier ust to do it all in one big haul

 

[baklawa]

Just realized I've never smoked hash (as far as I know). Is it a good smoke? How does it compare?

 

[tip top toker]

I prefer smoking weed myself, but hash is a great smoke. It's a different taste and high to a joint of weed, but it'll knock you off your feet

 

[scotia1982]

My little attempt.....

 

[mad dog bark]

wot causes the outside to darken on the hash? is it just oxygen?

Dirt on your fingers mate lol

Dirt on your fingers mate lol

did u press it get it that shape?

 

[scotia1982]

did u press it get it that shape?

Aye just when its nearly dry n no more u can put it to what ever shape you want

 

[Mastergrow]

@scotia that hash u made, was it nice and soft and bendy or was it pure hard? We get a lotta hash in N.I, but most of it's shit, pure hard as fuck, years ago there was always good hash about and it looked a bit like that gear u got in the pic, nice light colour inside, the stuff now we get is dark

 

[tip top toker]

The consistency of the hash is based purely on the manufacturing process, there isn't a direct correlation between consistency and quality.
