Wow, FDD! Awesome work, just read the entire 11 pages. Learned a lot, I had the 1 G bags but now I know that I overmixed and didn't get the best possible product. I'm planning on getting the 5 gallon Bubble now machine, would you recommend it? Do I need the 8 bags?

TX!

i have a small machine and loved it. i only use 3 bags.

Nice, thanks a lot!

How do you get the melty clear dome dry sift? I bought a bubble box and havnt been able to get anything to bubble. I ran some white berry and got a bunch of very blond clean hash but the resin didnt sparkle or anything or bubble for that matter. I found that odd being that my whiteberry makes some bubbley ice hash so it would be easy to assume that a $270 dry sift box, top of the line and shit would make the beautiful FMCD sift no problem. But it didnt. Ive got an account at fullmeltbubble but so far havnt recieved any real info as to why my trichomes dont melt. The administrator simply said it was an art and a technique to get it but didnt say anything more than that. Kind of pretentious. And as I scrolled to the top of the page there is a big advertisement for the bubble box that reads- Its not worth the trouble if it doesn't bubble. WTF??? I started a full melt dry sift thread thinking I would get it for sure. But I guess you shouldn't buy the bubble box and expect to make FMCD like that. Unfortunately if I knew that I would have thought differently about dropping $270 on this thing. And I will also add that there are some strains that bubble and some that dont.

13, 30 what does that mean??

means he sells hash to the clubs for 13 a g and they sell it for 30 a g

i have an afghan kush biatch 4 days from harvest and was thinking to turn all of her into bubble. i ws therefore thinking to leave her a week longer so i harvest amber trichromes. when harvesting il cut of fanleaves with no value and hang the plant up side down when dry il trim the plant and break up th buds in seperate containers ofcurse and then il put them in freezer for a day. next day i make 2 dif. quality bubbles. if ive got anything wrong please correct me. i use a hand mixer with only one metal part and bblbags. would u disadvise on using th buds?will the product be worth it?

buds make the best hash, if you can afford to use them.

2 more and thanks for the quick reply why does my bubble come out green? when is best to harvest?

you are over agitating it and cause the plant matter to break up and get small enough to go thru the screens.

harvest when it is finished.

how do i take a picture from here https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/152614-organic-af-gws-ak47-wd-20.html#post2415226 and place it in this msg

We have made it common practice to use our outdoor plants solely for hash. Buds 'n' all... Nice thread, good work. Glad we signed up here!

I admit I have only read about 20 or 30 pages of this thread so may have missed a similar comment. I spent some time in Morocco and other hash producing countries. I like to press my powder they way I learned to do it in North Africa:

- Make a small (or large!) booked-shape packet using cellophane (like comes on a cigaette pack--I use the cellophane from them all the time for small chunks) and scotch tape. Just like wrapping a Xmas present but with no present inside yet.

- Fill with powder and tape shut.

- Heat the packet in the microwave or on a hot surface.

- Press between two pieces of wood placed in a vice and crank down. If it is too hot, smoke will billow out at this point. Some smoke is okay.

- Take out of the vice and cool.

- Enjoy.

The hash will sort of blend together, carmelize from the heat and pressing to form a proper piece of hash. The better stuff is usually bendable. I like to heat a corner of the chunk slightly with my lighter just before rubbing off small pieces for the pipe. I prefer smoking well-pressed hash rather than powder. I believe it has a nicer, more efficient burn.

Groucho, I can taste the hash from your description. I used to smoke it "back in the day" but it always made me throw up. I still love the smell of it; I just don't know if I can smoke it without blowing chunks. ...but I guess since I should have over a Lb of hash in a couple of months, I'll be finding out. Thanks for the advice and the trip down memory lane.

Love the look of pressed hash with a stamp on it

FDD, do you use the big fan leaves?

no, resin leaves only.

Whats the best way to store hash trimmings for a while like 2-4 months to still have the best possible quality trimming for hash? and do you just store your trimming in a cardboard box to dry cure them? Amazing stuff here fdd. Inspired me to go out and spend a little over 850$ to complete a almost identical hash making set up washing machine and all. Thanks for the awesome thread.

i make sure it's dry and then just store it all in a hefty bag in a cupboard.

whoa this is cool. So all you do is take the hose on the washer and connect to the bucket?

I got an old washer but probably don't have enough trimmings for the need to do this. lol.


Why do you need to spend $850 to get a washer? Pretty sure a used washer can be had for like $50 at a garage sale.

btw does anyone have a recommendation on what micron sizes are the best? I wanted to get a bubble bag set but the 8 bag set is too expensive. Is the 4 bag set good enough or maybe a different micron custom selection?
