I have to admit.........I'd put away the Ragu for a toke of that.
I am no expert either. 3 catch bags infront of your 90 makes a huge difference. Try it for yourself. It appears to me you think I am dissing you and your hash. It is not a personal thing. Please do not think this. Forgive me if I am wrong. All I'm saying is DICE is NOT better than water sieved or a proper dry sift. If you didn't make that claim, I would not have had to state otherwise. Just trying to educate.Well, I don't claim to be an expert, but again, how are there any less impurities from your 90 (or 120) micron bag, compared to mine? Only the particles that are small enough to pass through the microns end up in the hash, so what difference does it make if you are straining water through the mesh, or letting trichomes fall on to a table through the mesh? I only use one bag. Everything that I don't want in the final product collects in that bag, and everything else passes through
No matter if it is my ice water hash, or someone else's, I always cough like a mofo when I smoke ice water hash. My theory on that, again, is that you are allowing those trichome heads to slosh around in water that is saturated with chlorophyll. With dry sift methods there is no chlorophyll in the picture, so the resulting hash is as smooth as butter. No coughing at all.
If you look at traditional hash making techniques there is no water and buckets involved. Just separating trichomes from plant matter via agitation. I have yet to hear anyone break down why their method of collecting trichome heads is better than another. It's a very simple concept made to sound more difficult in pot smoking circles.
As stated above it's a lot of effort. Not worth it for all. To each their own.
I can tell from your picture that it's filled with capitate stalks and hairs. You can see how fuzzy the hash is. Trichome heads are not fuzzy my friend. Pure heads pile like sand. Take some macro photo's of your dice hash. You will see there is much more than just heads.
There was no chlorophyll in my water either. Not sure what the argument of chlorophyll is or where it fits in.
You are right. It's a very simple concept made to sound more difficult in pot smoking circles. Pure heads is better than not pure heads.
Cheers!
