Perfection.
Anyone in this thread from Europe? Or experienced the commercial hash scene anywhere there?
I'm curious as to how common it is to find this grade of hash? It's not a brag, once again, it's a bit meltier than I'm actually shooting for. Though in hindsight I don't think I cleaned it super crazy. Considering I was equally impressed with the sugarlips rosin I made last year, my money is on she is just a plant that produces fantastic resins for making hash.

Thanks man! Perfection is the goal. The more I learn about hash, the more moving parts I find need to line up to achieve that goal!
by far the best hash of yours i've tried...super melty,made those nice clear domes
Definitely meltier than I wanted...but I have the feeling that trim bin sugarlips kief would be gooey.
And thanks!

Maybe the THCA does decarb to THC pretty well in hash after all.
Here is a lab report @mexcurandero420 posted in another thread. Very interesting report with THC being 32%, THCA 11%, and CBN only 0.38%.
I am always just ...blasted when I post here
...and for some reason I couldn't figure out how to post the pics directly, had to do screenshots...I suppose that says something about the potency of pictured hash. Broke out the hash kettle and burned a couple snakes.
My take on the kettle: too small. It works. Perfectly. But I would like a bigger hit. And I'm not one to take giant hits. But it gets the job done slowly. Haha.

Timing and energy levels can affect perceptions of potency too. But cured is better, imo.
My hash stash, while still varied, is running low, and I won't be doing any crops to bring to fruition until after I get back from the Yukon Territory in almost-mid-July.
I have a bag of sugar trim from a round of Soul Mate, a couple or three one-gallon bags of shake and small buds from a variety of other stuff, and at least 2-1/4 lbs. of flower from some good pot of various strains.
I've never tumbled my buds, just sticking to sugar trim ever since I started making sieved hash decades ago, but with being down to maybe 6 or 8 small 'wraps' of the dwindling hash collection, I may be feeling desperate enough to tumble some flowers.
Seems like sacrilege to tumble whole buds for hash, when X number of months from now I'll have gobs of sugar trim, but I guess 'now' is the moment to contend with.
<SIGH>

Ya I don't have a lot left. I do have a nice bag of mixed trim in freezer. But we are just going into monsoon season here so...my next session will be when the flower tent is empty and I can run my dehumidifier in the tent and my electric AC in the room that houses the tent...or... November. Whichever comes first. I CAN tell you, next summer, I will be much better stocked!

Wintertime with no active crop in the shop, my house runs about <16% humidity, and if I choose to, I can use the unheated, uninsulated enclosed back porch at whatever cold-ass temps it's sporting to tumble. But I typically end up doing it at whatever temp, trying to make sure the shake is 'springy dry', not crumbly dry, and that it's not 90 degrees f., or 60% to 80% rh.

Any time I tumble sugar trim, I do so knowing that the remnants are good for either oil extraction or more tumbling.
And I'm stuck with but one wheel for my tumbler, for who knows, maybe the end of my life? My stainless steel #100 screen.
The first wheel for my automated tumbler was fairly expensive at the get-go, and that was close to 25 years ago. No telling what a union tin bender would want to charge for a similar project now.
And though I could provide my wheel as a template, something the first gentleman lacked, other than for my description and crude drawings of desires, I'm guessing I'd need to give it one of my now-infrequent alcohol baths before taking it into a shop. Lest it be too clear what its purpose in life is.
Hi Rob I've been quietly following your hash journey for a while now. I'm from Europe and have experienced hash all over for the last 25 years or so, mostly moroccan, but also some afghan, pakistani, nepalese, and obviously the fancy homemade things once in a while.
Your cured pressed dry sift looks like some excellent maroc. Curing and pressing is definitely a thing for hash, Frenchy was very passionate about this. He was sure a chemical process was taking place over the curing period. He even suggested the trichome mass absorbs adulterants and plant matter over time. Not sure how but he was sure of it. Maybe science could explain it one day.
Have you tried making drysift from outdoor or greenhouse weed?
Peace

That is always my suspicion with bubbled buds as well as I don't reprocess the used green mass for anything else. But the way I look at it is that I grew it and it is a shitload cheaper and better than anything I could buy. And . . . hash is my thing anyway and I only smoke bud as filler.
Speaking of which, I just bottle rolled this 5 grams of goodness an hour ago. Mixed older buds and some fresher trim that I bubbled on Monday to clean up the strays in my cupboard. It is now wrapped for a cure. Next up is three pure strain runs - two smaller ones - Zamaldelica and Cherry Valley and a bigger run of my last grow - The Church.
Btw Rob . . . that all looks (looked?) amazing . . .
Yes it is. It is smoking really nicely now, so I am itching to make some hash with the trim and some bud.
I have not yet. I thought I had a hookup for some trim from last year's outdoor, but dude ended up chucking his season early due to some out of town work that came up. Was really looking forward to it!
And thanks!
