San Diegos Finest Cuts #2

[Natagonnaworrie]

In regards to making bubble with fresh vs. frozen trim I found that freezing trim in a paper grocery bag for 24 hours not only yields more but the quality is significantly better. I don't know why, it just is. It's absolutely worth the wait to freeze it for a day. You'll find out for yourself when you do your own comparison but it's a pain in the ass making hash and I want the best quality for the time spent, and freezing for a day yields clearly superior results to using fresh unfrozen trim.

Cool. I'm going to pick your brain on this for a minute if you don't mind.

Do you think that this matters if the trim is dried AND THAN frozen. Or should it go directly from plant to freezer (in a paper grocery bag). I ask because i struggle with my hash yield. Last time i made some i busted out the scale and for every 100g of trim i was getting between 4 and 7 grams of bubble. Good quality. ...between the 35 micron and the 130 micron bag. the 76 is always the best for me.

usually i dry my trim in paper bags and then freeze it for 24 hrs before processing. Maybe that is where my problem is.

Mito, you mite be on to something with that special drill bit. The fellow who posted the pic of his drill bit underneath your post, I have that bit and tried like hell to get the results I wanted, tried mixing my trim with that bit every way possible, fast, gentle, long, short, you name it, I did it cuz I REALLY wanted it to work with that bit, mainly because it's alot easier to use a drill and bit to mix vs. hand mixing but I never ever acheived the same or better results with that bit vs. hand mixing, absolutely never. I tried another bit before that one and all I ended up doing was pissing into the wind and not achieving any desirable results. Maybe your bit mixes the leaf more gently. Using the hand mixing method through, I can get two runs of hash that I have to freeze to remove from the screen. I'll do a 3rd run if I have time an use that run just for brownies and granola bars for my hot as hell stoner gf's. babes cost money.

i will have to run a side by side also, but it seems that it is possible that the drill attachment agitates the trim and glands so much that the heads fall off and break. and then maybe are small enough fall through the holes in the bags straight into the water.

and yeah, i can't keep edibles in my fridge either

Subrob, the cool thing about the hand mixing is that I just mix for maybe 45 seconds, until the water foams up, then stop. wait 15 min, rotate the lump of leaf in the bucket and mix again, wait 15 min, then mix a 3rd time. Wait 20 minutes then hang with a pulley till the dripping stops. Then scape the glory. I'm 6' 2 and hate being hunched over my buckets mixing but damn if it doesn't produce the finest results. I'll also dip my rolling paper in the bottom of the bags I scrape, wait til they get wet right up to the gum, them let them dry on a spaghetti collander. Best tasting and slowest burning rolling papers ever.

If we ever get the sd grow bros together somewhere I'll be gald to demonstrate my hash methods. I'll borrow a digi and take some photo documentation first and see if I can post it. peace to all,

so if you don't mind my asking, what is a good approx yield? Maybe percent would be easiest. I heard 10%. I would say i am averaging around 5% with a 7 bag bubble bag kit that i only use 4 bags of (excluding the work bag, so 5 really).

thanks bro.

the pb library... ha ha i always wondered what went on in there.

Natagonnaworrie- I know your not asking me but heres some info...

What I do...

Dried then frozen, I use a wood spoon... No power tools, and mix just like biglove said, dont add any leaves other than sugar leaves... Hope this helps

nata,

I've never done a side by side with trim that's dried then frozen vs. freezing right off the plant because I've done enough runs both ways and I can tell you this much:
Freezing trim immediatly in paper bags yields more desireable results than drying the trim first then freezing it or doing dry trim w/o freezing. I've tried every possible scenario and I believe the quality and return you get from freezing the trim immediatly after manicuring preserves the thc in it's natural state and provides better yield and quality. You can wait a week to do the bubble run but I found I get the best results when I freeze the trim for 24 hours and make it the next day. If it's a lot of leaf like I usually get I rotate the leaf in the bag during the freezing process so the trim freezes evenly.

As for amounts of finished product, I've never once measured how much trim I put into the buckets or what I get back on the pressing screen because I make hash for pleasure and not for sale and I want the best possible smoking experience from my leaf. I found that a a couple key steps really help in quality and return, and give me the best possible yield of the best possible quality.

Freeze the trim right after manicuring in paper grocery bags for 24 hours.
Do the hash run the very next day after it's completely frozen.
Use ro ice and ro water
Make a slightly bigger bucket so the bags have plenty of separaration to work their magic.
Mix with rubber gloves until foamy.
Hang first 3 bags with rope and pulley after 1 hour.
Scrape the glory
Use rolling papers to soak up water at bottom of bags that can't be scooped with a spoon. Put papers on spaghetti colander to dry. Once dried you have slowest burning yummy papers ever.

I like to dry the hash in the sun of it's not too hot, otherwise I cover it loosely and put it in the cab of my truck and open the windows, the breeze dries the hash beautifully. When it's dry, freeze screen for 3 minutes to remove the stickiest of the icky from the screen and let dry naturally overnight in a jar with lid removed. If you're doing the run at night I'll put the drying screen with the fresh bubble in the oven overnight with just the pilot light for heat and that's enough to dry it out while you sleep. I love waking up to finished hash in the oven and popping a lil slab in the vape and going for a ride around the bay, f-ing beautiful.

If you have really good quality leaf you will have to store the bubble in the freezer cuz you can't handle it with your fingers w/o a sticky mess. It's a beautiful thing Hope this helps a lil.

These are some 818 OG leaves... Need to flower her to be sure, but so far looking good

Do some research of your own before bringing these 3 blade og storys to the boards bro I have 3 blades on some leafs and I have 5 and 7 blade leafs also in the same plant and its an og for sure.! 3 leaf means your plant hasn't recovered from the shock it received while it got cloned. When you feed the plant right and it starts getting big and happy it will grow its 5 and maybe 7 blades on each leave. That's one of the dumbest things you can possibly do is claim its fake before growing it. In oder for you to verify if the plants are legit or not is growing them, and besides growing it you need to know what the original really looks like. If we went by plant looks then we would all be growing fakes.!

Haha.... You have no clue... That plant was over 2ft tall in that pic... Haha... recovering from shock haha... I have not seen 7 blades on any true OG cut so far... You should post pics... Please school me professor, I'm new and have no idea what I'm doing

 

[420247]

Thank you for posting the info biglove, I'm going to try some of your techniques

 

[kushiekush21]

Ask subrob if his valley og dosent have more than 3 blades and ask him bout the fire og and I'm sure hell tell you if you need a better source. And yeah I dnt post much because of all the wrong information and all these people who say I read this is this magazine.! I write about stuff I have tried and done.! Reading only gets you so far being in action is the right way to do things. I hate it when people post the I heard shit or the I read shit.! We need facts not hearsay.! Come on firebug you should know better than that.!
My tahoe ,larry,diablo,sac og1 and 2 and all the rest of my og's from clone have 5 plus leaves. Just because your on the forums a lot dosent mean you know a lot. There's nothing like doing and saying it.!

 

[kushiekush21]

By the way firebug don't switch up now you said real og's only had 3 blades now your saying 7 that's a 4 difference.! So when they show you 7 your gonna say 9..? Its not bout arguing either its about you provind wrong info for all these cats in the boards.! What other og's have you really grown out to compare... .? Just because swerve says its not legit sdosent mean its not.! Its called marketing my boy learn it its the only way business survive and swerve is selling fake og seeds you think he's gonna tell you who has the real cut so you can pick ip for 15 dollars instead of picking up his 100 dollar seeds..... come on. I think subrob had already broke this down with the "r" cut.! Shit I have most of these cuts on this board and I'm not even from sd. Including that fire cut before the seeds were even released.!

I talk the talk and walk the walk... Thats why I posted pictures... BTW when did I say OG's could only have 3 blades? I've seen 1 to 5 blades... BTW Spicoli would have been the one to ask noob LOL...

Are you okay? Bump your head a lil? Try reading before you reply LOL

 

[kushiekush21]

Yeah it would of been spicoli but he dnt sign on no more. Man by the way you post I can tell your one of those I cnt be proven wrong I know everything kinda people. U haven't even grown real tahoe yet your claiming its a fake based only on the fact that the plant has 5 leaf blades. Is it cus you feel burned cus you got a fake tahoe... oh wait you don't even know what a real tahoe looks like so how can you talk..? Come on you almost sound as dumb here as you do on the weedtracker forums.!! My point is grow then talk. Then after you grow it and prove it a fake then you can blab all you want.
