Anyone else grow "old school" - i.e weaker strains

No first second and third runs are not the same, and should be sold as different grades in my opinion. That being said nothing you get comercially is going to be first run quality. I get where your coming from man, and I even assumed you were talking about yourself like "SWIM". I bet if you gave people the option to pay more for better quality they would rather do that then buy lower quality..... Just saying. Otherwise I get it, that's why I said I wouldn't harp about it.
I get 150 an oz so if i could make that into four grams then bulk to 12 and if it still had the potency of the old school morrocan we use to get then i could get £10 a gram and a better clientel for only a thirty pound loss but with the trim from that ounce id recover some of that loss meqning i could switch from bud to hash..

I know quality is best but i was trying to find a middle ground of everything or id loose a lot of money.

Trichs come pre bulked with plant material on the bud anyway im not ripping folks off just giving the same amount in a different tastier form.

I just miss hash and so do a lot of bud smokers i know, i am saving a lot of trim to try this so we will see as it isnt hard possibly the results might be postable :-)

Lol great story man. I was afraid commercial production was gonna be the answer you gave me :(. If snoopy and his clients are cool with adding weight at the expense of quality that's up to them, I won't harp on it to much. I don't know snoopy, but me and the other Thundercats ALWAYS take quality over quantity. Making hash with premium bud would be a tough business to start unless you were really growing hash oriented genetics. I've seen videos from the grows in morraco with hills covered in little plants that hardly have any bud on them, but are just caked with trichomes to turn into hash. Even then growing hash instead of bud isn't usually as profitable, I'm confident that's why we don't see more hash around :).
Historically what made hash profitable over flowers was the mode of transport used. Donkeys going over mountains ain't cheap, so they had to reduce the mass of the shipped product. With cheaper transport hash is never going to be more profitable. If profit is what you are looking for, added value items like carts might be the way to go.

3 euro a gram marroc in Amstedamn sells for tripple that if you bring it to the Uk and deal it yourself. I actually think its ok stuff tbh and pretty sure its just bulked with the plant as its the lowest grade.

Swallow enough and you got profit and a free holiday, do it too many times and your gona get pulled i guess. This use to happen a lot but aint nobody i know bothered for ages as skunks everywhere :-)

I bought a lot of hash in Greece, France and Spain in 1981-82. {USS Saipan Med Cruise} You could not find any flowers. Funny how things change.

Why in the world would you add the plant material back to the trichomes? That seems really counterproductive if you want a good quality hash.



I generally tend to think of it all a bit like music or cars. After about 25 years it's considered classic. That doesn't always mean it is/was good, but at that point they are pretty old school. I wasn't alive in the 70s, and wasn't smoking weed in the 80s or 90s. I started smoking about 2003 but then started growing in 2004. Sadly I missed out on most of the REALLY old school genes, but I would love to see more of them and get to have those experiences.
Exactly my thoughts reading this, plant material is not what u want in your hash, turns darker the more plant matter, golden is all i aim 4

Ahh well that would explain the darker harder less crumbling and fluffing hash ive seen but hopefully confirms it is possible.

Suprisingly very little info on making lower grade hash around.

My friend and i were talking about some of my more recent extractions and it came up that it was far too easy too add too much too a joint even being carefull not too. I could say there was some call to bulk a concentrate just enough so it can be measured a little better, that shit is a little too strong, i mean good but a one gram vape hit just seems meth level ten to me.

Surely old school hash had some daytine smoke stuff cause woowee my hash seems a lot stronger.

I read also that what i term slate was sift cut with a lot of plant material and the reason it puffed up so much was due to the immense pressure used to force it into a solid block. That wadnt so nice and brown either.

Some terms and rambling may not make sense or refer to other meanings as some use different old school words and regions vary even here :-)

I had a book from the 70's that had a hash recipe.
It was a hot distillation using isopropyl or methanol in a double boiler.
Once it was reduced and boiled off you could then add myrrh and frankincense to give it that authentic Moroccan flavor.
I tried it and it was garbage, but did get you good and high.

The Anarchist Cookbook??? Can I mention that book, or...Did I just get us put on a watch list?

To the title of the thread, I look for throwback type beans, and have become enamored with a strain called Mikado from Hazeman Seeds, acquired through the DC Seed Exchange....Woweee Zoweee….Super indica, true 8 weeker….frostiest thing I ever seent..
Real crowd pleaser in my circles.
