25 Micron Bubble Hash

Hello Fellow Enthusiasts; Sometimes GREAT DISCOVERIES come by way of accident!, case in point. Been VERY interested in the making of bubble hash. Soooooooo today was the first attempt. Did my due diligence & exhaustive search, garnered insight & experiences from the "Pros" (?!) here's what I learned and improved upon.

Firstly, I mixed the batch in a 5 gallon white plastic bucket in my DEEP stainless steel kitchen sink, I put a stopper in the drain, placed bucket in middle of sink with my 1 gallon bag full of "Prime" trimmings, between layers of large cube ice, filled bucket with cold water almost to top, then placed reuseable ice packs around the bucket & filled the sink with COLD water, by placing the reuseable ice packs around the bucket & filled sink, I now have created a SUPER COLD environment both inside & outside the bucket.

I have seen where MANY so called "Experts" use the "3" bag method...45-70-160 micron...I purchased a 5 bag Micropore kit, which contained a 220-160-110-73-25 micron bags.

Here's where my discovery happened....I used the 220-110-73.....AND the 25!!!!

If you have NOT used the 25 micron...you have BOTH WASTED ALLOT of "PRIMO" & are in for a BIG SURPRISE!!!

I'm going to find some 10 micron bags & 5 micron bags, as I believe even the 25 micron bag is missing a certain amount of SUPER "Primo".

Also FORGET about the hot water in the bottle pressing technique, it's for Cavemen....instead use your HEAVY iron set on Looooow, place your product as you normally would in the ziplock bag, then place a towel over the plastic bag and start "Ironing"!!!!, if an iron can be placed against delicate cashmere sweater, it can also..."Iron your Bubble"!!!.....Hot water in a bottle???!!!....WAKE UP!!!!...it's the 21st Century!!!!...Alex

I always like pic's.......

Wouldn't all that "primo" come through the 73, just with a bit more plant matter? You aren't going to just miss out on it by not using a 25, it still comes through the larger screens. Thats why you do the smallest screens first. I could be misunderstanding what you are trying to say, though.

I don't bother with a 25 because it takes so long for the water to filter through it, but I still get all that same goodness with my 75. You are definately no doubt getting some good kief through the 25 micron though, but its just a way of furthering dividing the THC content by quality not actually adding anything to the bottom line/amount gained.

bigger number means bigger holes = more crap..... is that how it works ??

(Intact)Trichome heads are of a certain size the bigger the head the better..dirt and stuff falls to the smallest..generally the middle is most potent and can be re ran through different sizes to clean it up
Just general guidelines...

This is counter-intuitive, the finer the filter ( small micron ie; #25) the finer the product, as an example, a leaf fragment vs a tiny droplet of resin, the left fragment is captured by the 220 micron, as the resin droplet being soooooooo tiny, passes through the 160,110,75 micron, ...until it's tinyyyyyyy small particle CANNOT pass through the 25...Alex

Think of the suspended resin droplets as grain alcohol ....as the alcohol is filtered, the grain particles gets trapped, until it passes through the smallest micron filter ( 25 micron as an example)...would you rather drink/smoke that has been filtered through "FINE" mesh or "COARSE" mesh...there is a reason that EXPENSIVE Liquor is filtered MANY TIMES...Alex

your wrong........ but I don't throw out my 25

Just take the advice......
Intact (capitate-stalked) trichome heads aren't that small, they are what you want

My 25 micron bubble is garbage but the 74 & 45 micron is tha bomb. Not sure that's gonna work the way you want it to but good luck. I would just bake some cookies or something with your 25
