school me on making bubble

[herbivore21]

Apologies for the double post but:

My latest rosin squish from cluster bomb bubble!

 

[Hashtag46&2]

@herbivore21 ..

Doood! Your Rosin is looking soooooo tasty brah

Let's put up some more inspirational pics.

Bubble Hash happens to be one of largest contributing factors in my decision to acquire a Vaporizer, which in turn has lead me to the most enjoyable chapter of my proverbial Book of Life.

My D-Nail & HE Oil Pan have been collecting dust since I started vaporizing Hash/Flower Parfaits.

Super Skunk #6(Pheno) 73u



Timewreck 90u



Bubba Kush 90u





My next post here will be a series of pictures depicting me Hand-Pressing a few grams of Hash into that Cannoli posted a page back.

 

[420engineer]

so, I value a nice but, or, I squish it into that roisin stuff and value that instead; what's the difference?

I think we all value a nice Butt...

I joke. .. lol

I'm assuming you meant a bud, in which in my opinion, the only difference is reduction of plant matter.

A true solventless Hash Oil extraction,..Beautiful!

however, I too am I little on the fence about Rosin derived from epic Flowers,like so. .

Pipe Dream ( Blue Dream x Bio Diesel )



Or. .

Snow Goddess #2



I certainly wouldn't consider squashing Flowers like this... The value of the whole Flower outweighs the value of the Rosin it would produce.

However, I DEFINITELY see the value of Rosin sourced from Non or Half Melting Hash, even Full Melt Bubble, creating epic Hydrocarbon-Free Shatter.

I actually have yet another pet peeve (go figure)....

Calling Bubble Hash extracted with Ice and Water, "Solventless"

Whether the Solvent actually dissolves the trichome, or not. . Water is known as the "Universal Solvent" .

The word "Solvent" comes from the Latin "Solute" which can mean either to dissolve and create a solution, or the Solvent can be utilized as a "Carrier" to create a solution.

So, once again, Profiteering in the concentrate community with the use of the not only intentional misinformation and plays on terminology, the word... Solventless.

This is a huge reason why I'm so meticulous about terminology regarding Concentate.

BHO, QWISO, Qwet, PHO, LHO, etc.... Are not technically considered Hash, rather Oil, or to get more specific, the resulting oils also fall into different categories.

Oil from Cured material is known as an *Oleoresin* .. oil from fresh material is known as a *Concrete * .. Winterization of both are known as an Absolute.

Hash, is derived from mechanical separation of the resin from the material, and is collected as whole in-tact Trichomes.

If the Trichomes are dissolved, it is no longer Hash, it's oil.

Okay, rant over. . Lol

Glassy Bubble is however obtainable straight from the bags, I've only pulled it off once



Very brittle, just like Shatter, no tricks. . This was from fresh, but dry material that had a similar look to the 2nd bud pic above.

As we've seen, add a little heat to the Bubble, and it will melt and solidify in a glass like texture, you can even accomplish this by using an oven.

Okay. . My next post will have the series of Hand pressing pictures aforementioned in my prior post.

I just wanted to address @420engineer 's question and went off on a wild tangent.

Much love FC!

 

[Joel W.]

I certainly wouldn't consider squishing that. The value of the whole Flower outweighs the value of the Rosin it would produce.

I have one strain now that I can get about .9 grams of rosin out of 3.5 grams of bud. I can't seem to buy any bud from my normal dispensary that will do that yet though but to be fair, I gave up on them a while back...

Edit: Crap, i thought i was in the rosin thread.

 

[NorVape]

Two best threads in the concentrates section these days, tho @Joel W.

 

[Nesta]

I only understand half of what I'm reading here.

Why am I so excited?

 

[420engineer]

yeah, autocorrect raped me, I meant I have a nice piece of bud

Amazing thread, everyone. @Hashtag46&2 and @herbivore21 (and everyone else too!) thank both of you for sharing so much knowledge with the forum. Getting these amazing techniques and skills to the community is a huge service.

I'm simply drooling over these pictures. I've never had the pleasure of tasting something so divine, but hopefully that changes soon!

I know you're trying to be funny, but rape really isn't funny. Your use of it is offensive to many. Like I said, I doubt that was your intention. But it would help if you refrained from phrases like that and thought about it from someone else's perspective.

Much love!

Seriously?? Using the word ‘rape’ is now offensive unless its used in the context of an actual violent sexual act expressed only in a factual manner?

Get a grip dude, no one made a joke about the raping of women. (or anybody for that matter)
Perhaps he felt violated by his auto correct endlessly forcefully penetrating his sentences with unwanted advances and thusly impregnating his written musings against his will?

PC rubbish at its best.
I hope your request to censor others is ignored & I hope you will refrain from inflicting your values onto others.

There is a vid in my siggy that will help diagnose your affliction & give you some tips on coping mechanisms for your righteous indignation.


Poor bloke was just trying to express himself & you try to shame him.
Thats not very nice is it?

I wanted to share my technique for The Ancient Art of Hand Pressed Hashish.

The research I've put in, tells me that Hashish has been with humanity for thousands of years, how many thousands is kind of a mystery, some site 12 thousand years.... However, I believe it goes even further back than that.

Born in the blazing hot sun.

I will share many, many extraordinary links, but I'd like for those that are interested in modern Hash-Production and/or the ancient art of the Hashishin to please read the following link.

http://druglibrary.org/schaffer/hemp/history/first12000/2.htm

Even if you have no interest in making Hashish, the story is very enlightening.
Also, if you listen to the YouTube interview with Frenchy Cannoli that is posted a page back, he shares some info that is just incredible.

Alright, let's get started.

I want to start by saying, if you are going to be sharing the finished product, or even if it's solely for yourself, please wash your hands thoroughly with an exfoliating soap.
Depending on the quality of the Hash, the better/purer the Hash the easier this will be., either way, you will develop some calloused hands, as it takes a great deal of pressure to "work" the hash properly.

You will know right away if you are on the right track, as the resin will start sticking to itself and the aroma will morph, it is shockingly noticeable.

Our goal here is to take individual resin glands, and press hard enough to intentionally rupture the Glandular Heads creating a " Mass of Resin "

If I were to press and roll a "Temple Ball"... The outer shell should be dark and have a sheen , with the inside being a shade lighter in color.

If the inside of the Hashish is significantly lighter in color, it is known as an "Import Press" and is not a "complete thorough press"

Starting out, I would recommend a gram to get used to the process, get familiar with what you are doing, then you can move on to using a wine bottle filled with boiling water for a larger application.

It is pertinent to ensure your Hash is bone dry before pressing to avoid mold.
I wait at least 2 full weeks before pressing.

It is also important for me to state: some folks prefer loose, unpressed Hash.

The flavors are near night and day.

I like both equally, but as I stated before... It is very easy to over-indulge in pressed Hashish.

The starting Hash

(Note the oily texture, this stuff was 5 star melt)

-Procedure
Place a gram of Hash into your palm of your non-writing hand.

With your opposing thumb, press down hard on the resin, the heat from your hands is very important also, Heat & Pressure is key.



Notice the darkening after just a couple hard thumb presses.



Keep pressing with the thumb, and start flattening it into a patty..



We are not done....

Ball it back up..



We are looking for a very thorough, even press, which takes some work..

Keep working, it will continue to darken...



Flatten again, and fold into another ball..



More flattening..



Fold again...



Notice the resin hardening?

At this point it was brittle, after letting it cool just a bit. Hashish Shatter?!? --->



After about 30-45 minutes of working...



The final Cannoli..




I truly love the process, the morphing aroma of "spicy " tones occuring in front of you.

It is therapeutic, Spiritual ..and forms a bond with your Hash.

I like to cure/age my Hashish for about 6 months to obtain the "cream" I showed earlier, but I rarely make it that far... Lol...

So enticing, it is hard to resist, particularly when on a very strict budget, and I run out of my loose hash.

Pressing also allows for easy dabbing.
When my supply is limited, I press tiny little discs for dabs and make a herb sandwich with the hash as the meat in the DBV. Been loving the latter here since obtaining my DBV.

As a matter of fact, I have not dabbed since I got my first Vape.

Thanks for following/viewing, and all the kind words.

I cannot wait to try this out, gonna re-run those buds again today and break them up properly, I'll give this a shot if I get enough yield

 

[420engineer]

I still have a bit of most of the hash I have made, about ten varieties now, it is like a snapshot of awesome harvests

 

[herbivore21]

I cannot wait to try this out, gonna re-run those buds again today and break them up properly, I'll give this a shot if I get enough yield

Ok so I did my 3rd wash of those 2 zips. Broke it up as much as I could (was frozen up with ice cubes in a container, some nugs are frozen in ice cubes and didn't break at all.

I got fuck all out of this one, and a lot more green stuff in most bags too. I think these flowers are past the point of diminishing returns now... Got some definite good material in the 73 bag.

How do we best recover the vegetation from the ice cubes without losing actives? @Hashtag46&2

Any other tips to get the most out of this, I seriously haven't netted 1.5g with 2 zips through 3 washes yet! At least next time I know to break them up first - hey by the way, just how much should I break them up? Should I break each nug open into small pieces?

I thought I should bring up the fact that I don't think bubble is really worth doing in small runs. 2 zips at a time (with a preference for at least 4) is the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM I would suggest bothering with given the yields and work to do a wash.

As such, unless you've got a grow or are a medicinal user who needs to make their month or two's medicine for themselves, I would recommend not trying to make your own bubble (especially if money is tight!). Those of you in legal states, don't bother making your own bubble - many of you guys will find you can buy kief cheaply enough to make the bubble/work not worth it if you just wanna squish a little tasty headstash lol

Get the kief, squish the rosin, save yourself $3598983549854398435 on a g of nice solventless.

By the way, I wanna echo as I have in the past what Hashtag said about solventless nomenclature. Limonene and water are both solvents. Hell, limonene is a hydrocarbon solvent just like most other solvents used to make shatter! Water is surely the most commonly used solvents in the history of mankind.

Solvent refers to simply any liquid or gas which can dissolve another substance (solute) making a solution (complex mixture of the solvent plus solute/s). As such, bubble is technically a solvent tek. Still, we might differentiate our descriptions by talking about solvent tek (any solvent including water) vs hydrocarbon solvents (the other common solvents we use in extraction apart from water).

Rosin is of course solventless extraction, but it may be a solventless extraction from a solvent extract like bubble (as in my cases).

Just squished the contents of the contaminant bags and got a browner but still super clear and still incredibly tasty 15 dabs in one squish from a tiny little square the size of a fingernail of bubble!

Nothing beats squishing low grade bubble. Such a transformation of material!

 

[420engineer]

I wouldn't get too bogged down in terminology. I think the appeal from “solventless“ is that it doesn't use manufactured chemicals, and yes, I know dihydrogen monoxide is a chemical, but given it is something we drink, and is not residually detrimental to our health, rosin will be considered to be solvent free

 

[herbivore21]

Oh by the way just wanted to update quickly and say after freezing up and under proper lighting actually what I got from that 3rd wash wasn't bad at all. All of the bags looked green in the poor lighting I was in at the time, but with a freezing up and drying they are clearly blond except for the contaminant bags!

The 73 is the money bag on this material for sure. Got about probably the same yield I got on the first wash overall, maybe slightly less.

I am still sure there is more good stuff in this material, I couldn't break it up perfectly because I've kept it frozen up with ice cubes again and some of the water has formed ice cubes solid around the nugs (try breaking that shit quickly without it melting lol). I'm gonna give it a fourth run lol

Still way lower yields overall than I get from solvent tek with the same material, but that being said, the quality is better overall once I've squished it!

My new Brother herb,
Please at least attempt a spin with the material being dry, and not freezing it.

I've tutored 2 die-hard Frozen while fresh enthusiasts, they both came to me with the same questions regarding yields.

As a former Hydrocarbon extractor, I myself had a hard time believing that a dry run would be better regarding Terpene Retention, so I tried the frozen tech 4 times and none of the 4 yielded anymore than a couple grams..

Back to the 2 guys I advised to stop spinning frozen material;
They both tried waiting until their material was dry to the touch, yet still fresh, I recommend waiting at least 7-14 days after the chop..
After they ran it dry, guess what my next PMs were?

"Dood" I'm never running fresh frozen again "
the yields are horrible, but extremely pure and aromatic.

This is because wet material does not want to let go of the head. ...the gland, along with the cuticle is Swollen when fresh, therefore the Trichomes are extremely rigid, allowing a dry time, the glands shrink and they become much more pliable.

For those in Colorado that buy Bubble, does your label read -FF WP-?

I can guarantee, that 75+% of those labels are not true, it is all about pre-conceptions, almost a placebo effect.

I say this because most of the more recognizable Hash Makers, all say they run it fresh frozen,, or say, you're not going to get full-melt unless it's fresh frozen, and micro-planed.

Unfortunately, there is much deception , intentional misdirection and unscrupulous profiteering in this sacred industry.

Any other tips to get the most out of this, I seriously haven't netted 1.5g with 2 zips through 3 washes yet! At least next time I know to break them up first - hey by the way, just how much should I break them up? Should I break each nug open into small pieces?

Expose as much surface area as possible without compromising the integrity of the material.. Honestly, if I do run flowers, I break it up Calyx by Calyx, or pea sized round balls.

I thought I should bring up the fact that I don't think bubble is really worth doing in small runs. 2 zips at a time (with a preference for at least 4) is the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM I would suggest bothering with given the yields and work to do a wash.

This is very accurate, ^^^ as is this.......

Thanks Brother, I feel it is essential for proper actually "universal " terminology for Hash production, not necessarily for the consumer or the guy making his own headstash... But essential for those trying to teach or inform others.

Rosin is of course solventless extraction, but it may be a solventless extraction from a solvent extract like bubble (as in my cases).

Just squished the contents of the contaminant bags and got a browner but still super clear and still incredibly tasty 15 dabs in one squish from a tiny little square the size of a fingernail of bubble!

Nothing beats squishing low grade bubble. Such a transformation of material!

Dude, I can't even put into words how much this means to me.

To inspire someone with the passion you embrace, it is an honor.

Feel free to keep the questions coming.


Edit; I think it is important to point out that Dry Sifting requires the material to be extremely dry to properly separate the head from the stalk, the principle is the exact same besides water giving you better control over variables...

And @herbivore21 , are you cleaning your mesh between each collection?

I recommend having a bowl of 91-99% ISO sitting in an ice bath to prevent evaporation of the alcohol, dip the mesh in the alcohol, and rub a little bit, then rinse with COLD water, using hot water will create a horrible mess, clogging the mesh..

Do this between every collection to maximize yield and drain time.

Thanks for all the great info fellas.

Sorry to detail the thread just a little bit, but also try to keep it alive hihi

When taking dry sieve, what micron screen would one need? Thinking of ordering some for that purpose with my next order from 316twholesale, just want to make sure I get the right one. Or are we talking several one?

Although I do have a feeling extracting with water ads something that is not retrieved without it.

And the idea is to use the dry sieve solely as a tray to trim over.

Not derailed at all my friend, has everything to do with Hash.

Ancient Hashing was done with only silkscreen, water sieving is relatively new considering the age of Hashish.

If you were to pick a single screen, I would have to recommend 150ish micron .

But, there is what is known as a "10 second quick sift technique "
This produces near pure glandular heads (AKA 99.999% heads)
^^ this by far is the most pure, epic hash one could produce.

The process involves using 2 screens stacked.

150ish Micron on top.

210ish Micron on bottom.

Material should be very dry, just before it starts turning into a powder or dust whilst handling.

Lightly rub the material across the entire surface area of the screen using your finger tips, flip the material and repeat, should be 10ish seconds on each "rub"
Edit; Think of The Karate Kid; Wax on : Wax off motion
The concept behind this tech is based on gravity and the heavy oils within the glandular heads.

As you're working the material...
The heads fall through both screens under your work area.

While the stalk (contaminant) being very light weight will fall like a feather, sideways and fall atop the second screen in a cross cross pattern.

Edit; be very very careful not to bump that bottom (210u) screen, as this has your "B" grade hash with a lot of contaminant on the screen, if you bump this even slightly, some contaminant will inevitably fall into the "A" grade pure heads under the stacked screens

YouTube DSW (Dry Sift Wizard)sift technique for a visual aid.
Hope this helps.

Euhhmm... One way or the other something is directing me towards trying ice extraction.

Out of the blue a washing machine and some bags made its way towards me.

So soon I will give it my first spin and see what happens.

What would be best ratio of material /ice /water? Any rule of thumbs there, or is it more a matter of figuring out as you go along?

Thanks for all the great info shared.

One other thing, material is frozen, that is how it came and so I cannot undo that. What effect would this have in my end result? I can keep it frozen up until it goes in the washing machine.

And the dry sieve will be tried in about six weeks. Another question related to that, would dry sieving have any result in fresh material?

Edit: better ice cubes or chipped ice?

 

[AnthoFranco]

great thread!!

ive been washing w/ 3 bags. 220,73 and 25.

as i run a qwet, i can see how dirty 25u is.(lack of better word) 73u qwet is real good.

i plan on switching to 200,73 and 45 as a final catch. based on info here.

this is the 1st. time using a micro-plane for proper drying. so worth the extra step. vapes incredibly well in my AA.

i am looking forward to washing some forth-coming trim. thanks for all the hint/tips.

again, my pleasure, this is why I wake up in the morning... Helping spread the majestic qualities of unadulterated resin glands.

It is now time to drop the Hydrocarbon extraction craze. (IMO)

Yes, the latter.. You will be able to tell as you are loading into your bag, it will start making more sense once you get started.
More or less, I've found its pretty much equal ratios of Ice : Trim : H2o

One other thing, material is frozen, that is how it came and so I cannot undo that. What effect would this have in my end result? I can keep it frozen up until it goes in the washing machine.

Not a huge issue man, let it thaw and dry up some before spinning.

Here is a great alternative though..
Take the frozen material and place it in a bucket or similar, then fill that bucket with fresh water, return the bucket to the freezer for 24 hours.

Now you have a giant ice cube with Cannabis frozen in the middle.

Remove the huge cube of ice, and simply put it in your 200 bag, lined inside a bucket with the 90 or 120 bag underneath the 200... Let this thaw, as the ice melts away, the heaviest glands will fall as the ice melts.

I think this is called the "Alpha Tech"
Then, you can either dry out and start over, or proceed from here.

And the dry sieve will be tried in about six weeks. Another question related to that, would dry sieving have any result in fresh material?

Edit: better ice cubes or chipped ice?

Dry sieving requires the material to be bone dry, or the glands will rupture creating a mess on your screens.

Big ice cubes for the win!

@Hashtag46&2

What about using dry ice with fresh frozen material? What are your thoughts on dry ice extraction in general?

Also, SWIM has maybe 50lbs. of trim sitting around. In your opinion, what would be the simplest/cheapest way to process this quantity in one run?

Currently thinking: (We have a lot of spare food grade 55 gallon plastic barrels, was considering getting a 70 and 150 micron screen that would fit over the top nice and snug. I was going to layer dry ice and shake in the barrel, and then we also coincidentally have a produce spinner that spins 55 gallon barrels, which I was going to use for the mechanical separation and then just have a couple guys bang the barrel over some large surface area.)

Anyone know a good recommendation for larger diameter screen material/sourcing?
