I know we often focus on purity in this Hashish forum ...but here's an alternative method of "hashing" that is the opposite of very pure hash that bubbles.
Here's a "method" of processing bud with maximum quantity in mind, one that I haven't seen posted online before. I do it sometimes.
This simple method is a cross between hash and bud, basically it's a mixture of resin heads and particles of bud. It is stronger than bud as there is a much higher percentage of trichomes, much cleaner for your lungs to inhale as approximately 75% of the non-active plant matter is removed and you can yield alot more quantity than the usual hash making techniques which makes it seem to last longer.
The best part is you are removing 75% of the plant matter while reaping just about all of the available trichomes on the starting material, but also, there is alot more broken up plant matter, which is not that bad as it sounds as it's almost all bud anyway!
and it's fast too...you can process lots of bud in a shorter amount of time, but I usually produce enough so it lasts for only 4 or 5 days...I would think if you wanted to process more than a week's worth of smoke, then keeping the mixture packed full in a sealed glass container in a cool, dry and dark place would be a good idea.
I smoke mostly in a long thin wooden pipe, a one hitter.. so this mixture of bud and resin is a nice smoke for me some of the time..it makes a little go a long way..one pipe full is enough every now and then..but to get a similar level of high I would have to smoke lots of bowls of bud which stinks out the room, the house and the neigborhood .
this method is not for everyone, but every so often when trying out new ferts or methods, we can harvest a plant and it's buds taste like kack, do this method and it smokes much better...do this on buds that are a little low in potency, harsh or grown poorly too...or just try it on your own good buds as an alternative way to process and smoke your medical cannabis.
here's how. Ii's simple, aggressively work all the bud through a 100 mesh screen. The yield will be 15% and 25% depending on the material, the mesh and your technique. You can also use 80 mesh or 110 depending on the starting material....with coarse meshes use a gentler action, with finer meshes be more aggressive...even a very fine steel mesh (chef's) strainer will work adequately for this method ..actually I saw a very fine metal mesh in the kitchen section of Ikea the other day that would be perfect, Asian food stores sometimes sell them as do kitchen supply outlets...but use a 100 mesh for better results.
Use untrimmed bud. I usually break off all the fan leaves at harvest, hang then when almost dry I scissor off the other larger leaves. Leave the smaller, resin encrusted leaves around the buds, these will protect the outer bud trichomes from being smudged or broken off during drying and storage...and after drying/curing I store in glass until dry sifting.
Grind down pre-frozen, aged bud and trim to a finer than rolling consistancy.
Shake, tumble, agitate, vibrate, card to work this ground up material over a 100 mesh.......if the mesh area is large enough, use your fingers tips or flat palms to gently push down and rotate the material over the screen, shake some more then repeat until all the trics have been removed. and of course, use a 30X magnifying glass to monitor your progress to let you know when to stop working the material.
Happy Hashing!
