Tell me about it man!
Tell me about it man!
Speaking of, here's a 300x shot of some of my latest 6 star 120u full melt. This was made from some of the most resin-caked flower I've ever seen. What a time to be alive!
Here's a naked eye shot (sorry, this one is grainy).
When the going gets Trump, the tough get puffin'!

Lol sure thing brother
man the quality of this stuff is really something. The peppery herb-like flavor of the flowers really carried through in this run. The full melt tastes as complex as the flowers - just louder! 
Man that is definitely warranted! I'll do my best to get one when my new Liger with 30mm sapphire insert arrives so I can get a great view with a large dabbing surface

I'll aim for an ultra high magnification meltshot focused right over the dish
The taste of full melt is much better IME than live resin from the same starting material. Live resin is extracted very cold of course, but it is inevitably going to take along content from other parts of the plant than just the trichome glands alone. Because of this (and the fact that a fresh flash-frozen plant is going to still have a lot of fresh green plant type terps that usually are long gone when flowers are dried), you do end up with more of the planty taste in a live resin (but still it does get a hell of a lot of taste compared to non live solvent extracts). However, full melt retains more terps by the end of the process (especially when freeze dried) than even live resin and the best rosin budder/wet sugar. This is because live resin still needs to have solvent purged out in a thin film afterwards and this is inevitably going to lead to loss of some of those volatile terps (obviously the extent varies depending on the producer's purge technique and local conditions) vs bubble.
THE CURRENT STASH
The bubble hash I posted earlier was very shattery when I first got it. Since it is my first bubble I thought it was all like that. After enjoying a little bit I put it aside to cure for a few weeks. All this talk of bubble hash made me break it out again last week.Apologies for the double post, but I trust this is worth it
That, my friends, is about .2g of 73u full melt bubble, yes, it is like shatter - but this is the bubble hash literally as collected from the bag, without being pressed, no heads being ruptured or unnecessarily manipulated! It melts rapidly, bubbles furiously with the clearest domes I've ever seen and is definitely the most melty hash I've ever seen. The flavor absolutely explodes in the mouth!
This shot is at 2.5x magnification.
I have noticed that creaminess as well. It is indeed a very flavorful treat.
That hash is starting to white out brother. This happens when we store it in conditions that are a little warm for too long, seems to happen much more quickly if the material is especially fire and loaded with terps.The bubble hash I posted earlier was very shattery when I first got it.

It has now become soft and crumbly. The flavor seems more complex and the effects a little more psychedelic.
I've still got half of it left, I'm going to cure the rest for a few more weeks.

This bubble I have also has a very pungent aroma. It punches you in the face when you open the container.
The strain is GMO Cookies and it has a distinct gasoline taste along with some kush notes, a hint of skunk, and the aforementioned creaminess. It tastes unlike anything I've ever had before, I'm not sure how much of that is due to the strain itself as I've never tried it in flower form.
Doesn't sound like the material has suffered at all yet though so get it into the fridge now to avoid further whiting out It'll become like dry powder soon and lose all clarity/optical properties as the solvent parts of the heads start to dissipate away.
Thanks for the advice, as always. You just gave me the push needed to stop being stingy and enjoy the bubble hash. I can be a bit of a hoarder at times. I think I will not bother with any additional cure, and consume it during this week of thanksgiving.That hash is starting to white out brother.

You should consider putting that into an airtight container and then putting it in the fridge for the cure, less terp loss/oxidation that way
Always happy to help my friend! It is such a beautiful thing to enjoy isn't it! I'm so glad that you have had the chance to experience it
there, just trying to think like you folks!)
