yes, you still have to dry and cure crystals. el nino from green house is good, obviously hash plants, white widow. Pretty much any of the white strains. Fresh wet weed is not potent at all you must dry the THC to activate the psychoactive properties. If your pressing hash and its still moist or wet it will mold, make sure it is thoroughly dried before pressed.

You dont have to dry thc for it to become active, try g13 hashplant. I have smoked plenty of wet nugs in my time and have gotten high everytime. Why does the weed need to be dry to make hash? depending on how you make it, you are going to be getting it wet. It is nicer to have it dry though easier for the trichs to seperate in my opinion but not a must.

weed does not have to be dry to make hash but the crystals have to be dry. there is whats called live hash and dead hash. nepalese and indian is usually live hash meaning they rub fresh buds between there hands to collect resin and countries like morroco is dead hash meaning they dry the plant and then sieve it with a silk screen.. yes you can get high off wet weed but all the psychoactive properties become active when you dry and cure it otherwise what would be the point? I did not hear this from people but from jorge cervantes latest grow bible amoung others.
But kaosowner please try this one day when you harvest, smoke a wet bud from same plant then smoke the same plant dried and cured. I didn't believe it either til I done this myself. I also recommend G13 x Hashplant. its so expensive though but thats my next strain or some type of land race

Yes i do agree with that if dried you get higher but i believe this to be because when the bud is dried the flame has more access to the trichs. You could easily be right on that. i was arguing the fact that undried marijuana is still psychoactive i smoke undried buds on occasion and get ripped along with making figer hash. this was my only argument i do agree that it is better to make hash with dried buds just stating that you can make it with undried as well. i also agree that g13 is to expensive but well worth a grow if you have the funds a must try in my book

ive heard that the smaller the trichome, the more cerebral the buzz is. i was wondering if there was a breed of sativa that frosted profusely like a pure bred indica, but with the smaller trichomes to seive. is there such a thing as a sativa hash plant? maybe a 90/10 sativa/indica mix, or a 100 percent sativa freak pheno?

No, smaller trichomes are just a characteristic of sativa strains, which happen to give more of a cerebral high.
I wish there was a sativa hash plant...

Tradition dictates that most hash is made from a near 100% indica based plant. However with silk screening and bubble bags you can make top quality hash out of anything (I recommend you make a lot of diverse hash with a multitude of strains). If you want to go with tradition and use a indica based plant get a mazar. Dutch Passion makes a mazar plant but it's not like a traditional mazar it's more on the skunky side.
how come if i throw it into a vaporizer it will get you high then?
What about hash plant haze???

I agree with Ronjohn7779, if your using bubblebags, then you can use different strains, the different charcteristics of that strain will be carried through to the hash. It's only really practical if you have a decent amount of each type.
It depends if your using buds, or if your just using leaf.
If you're using buds, then I would dry it completely till it's bone dry, then break it up into very small pieces- don't grind it up; as the plant particles may get through into your hash bags.
If your just using leaf and little scraggly bottom buds, then i would freeze them while they are still wet, and use it when wet. You will get less contaminants in your hash than if you dry the leaf first.
The reason why there is a difference depending on what you use, is because if your using buds, you are using something which has a much higher rate of crystals to plant material, where as if your using leaf, you'll be using something which has a much lower rate of crystals to plant material, and therefore there is more chance of contamination from plant particles, so to curb this slight drop in quality use wet leaf.
Ideally you want a strain which produces a lot of crystals, such as white widdow, most of the strains from DNA genetics, like LA Confidential, Kushberry, Sharksbreath etc.
I found White Russian to produced a shit load of really, really, strong bubble hash, but I found it a very strong smoke too. So strong it almost ruined smoking Skunk for me
If your using leaf then try getting a strain which packs on the crystals, but one that also has a high leaf to calyx ratio.
If your using buds then you will find that you will get good results what ever, so either just pick your fave strain so you can try it in hash form. Or just pick one of the white strains, like White widow, or White Russian, so you get the best yield for your efforts.
What CannaSeur said about live hash and dead hash is exactly right; although I have used bubblebags with dry stuff and wet stuff, leaf and buds; and have not really noticed a difference in the finished product. You must dry the crystals after extraction anyway, whether you break them up and let them dry over a few days, or if you just remove the water straight away by hand pressing straight after extraction (the longer you take to dry the crystals, the smoother the smoke will be) If your using buds, it seems like you get a bit more yield if they are bone dry when you do the extracting.
