Don't whisk it as you'll break up the trim into too small pieces and it'll end up in your hash. I gently stir mine with a skillet.
skillet ?

Whatever you do when making Water Hash from your trim.. don't try to be a Smaty Pants and think it will be healthy and nurishing to give your other plants the left over greenish water.. FKN Nitrogeon is of the Scale and will kill them.. i know some-one who done this before *cough cough* lol

It ended up pure green lookin and when u lit it up it burned real quick, I dunno just never impressed me
It ended up pure green because you whisked it like fuck.

You're not supposed to use a whisk OR mix like fuck, you're supposed to just agitate it gently and let the ice do the work.

If you use a whisk or mix to vigorously then like I said, you will break the trim up into too small pieces which will pass through the bags with the trichomes and contaminate your hash with vegetable matter. Hence the green.

My bags are in a 5 bag set from 220 microns to,160,120,75,20.

I don't filter for different grades of bubble, I just go for yield and if you do it right it'll be full melt every time.

Trichomes don't get bigger than around 150 microns and they don't get smaller than about 60 microns, anything smaller than that and you're just catching the stalks that the trichome heads are attached to which aren't very psychoactive (that's some gold dust info right there, it took me 2 years to find that out).

I remove the 120 bag and the 75 bag so I catch everything in between (160-75).
So the 220 bag is the 'work' bag and you'll put your trim and ice in that, then you have the 160 bag then the 75 bag.

I ain't dissin the bubble bags mate, I bought them with high hopes and it didn't work out, maybe I mixed too much but now when I do it the gumby way I mix about the same and get good results

1) Dry you're trim out as you would your bud.

2) Put the dried trim in a sealed food bag in the freezer for a day (the trichome heads will snap off once frozen improving yield and reducing the work/time)

3) Set you're bubble bags up in a bucket.

4) Fill bucket with cold water.

5) Smash up the ice so that it makes sharp shards but not too small as it will melt too fast (sharp shards get into the trim easier and also help to improve yield and reduce work/time).

6) Chuck the ice into the top of you're bags in the bucket with your trim.

7) Mix gently with a suitable implement like a skimmer (sorry not a skillet, that's a small pan).

Skimmer.

8 ) After mixing for 5 mins or so pull the work bag full of veg matter out of the bucket whilst pulling the drawstrings, letting the water and trichomes fall into the next bag.

9) repeat 3-4 times (top up ice if needed) and the trim should be pretty much stripped of any trichomes by then, remove your work bag and throw away the green mush.

10) pull the rest of the bags out together whilst pulling the draw strings and squeezing out any water.

11) Carefully separate the bags and scoop out your wet trichome paste from the bottom bag.

12) Leave it to dry and then smoke it. ;)
