Dry Ice Hash

[SpinLover1]

The plant does become brittle, but the triches are even more brittle, like breakaway glass. The slightest agitation is enough to dislodge the triches after contact with dry ice. The plant still requires a bit more. Using a 140 or 120um mesh sieve eliminates much of the plant material. The evidence that this method produces by far more triches then plant matter, is the coloration of the material that makes it through the sieve - first you get blonde/ gold, then it slowly becomes more green with time. You stop, depending on quality your after. You can do a really high quality kief hash with this method.

only problem i see is the dry ice sitting on the herb. me thinks the herb would freeze to the ice and not release the resin glands. could be wrong though.

Nothing at all sticks to the dry ice--

I have not tried this with wet fresh weed yet. I use dry and as you say, nothing sticks to it. You shake is as much as you want, dump the stuff in a plastic garbage bag and pick out the dry ice chunks. Nothing sticks to it.

This is the best way to make hash that I know. If you want potency you can go for BHO or ISO, but you have to deal with chemicals and mess. The final product is very hard to work with. I even freeze my BHO so I can shave it with a razor blade and it still get warm and sticky before I can get it in a pipe. I love my BHO but it is just hard to work with. Seems you waste a lot of it trying to smoke it. I am sure there are way like with paper clips. Still, while smoking BHO it liquifies and gets into the pipe. Hard to not waste this stuff in conventional smoke techniques.


With ice hash you have to drain those bags and it takes so impossibly long. Then you have to dry it and all the while risk mold. In the end you may wait several days before you can smoke ice hash. With dry ice hash you can literally shake it into a pipe and smoke it. You can take the stuff you have and roll it in with weed in a joint. You can press it or leave it as powder.

just put a plastic bag over your bubble bags, no need for a "collection" area, since all the glands and other material passing the screen will stay in there

blessss

So Im guessing the idea here, that you have, is to secure an impermeable plastic bag around your bucket. Sure sounds neater than doing it over a table or mirror and losing a good chunk of your precious gold. Im thinking large plastic bags that sit on the floor makes more sense than smaller plastic bags, with your collected kief bouncing all around?

On a side note, if you run enough material in your bucket w/ dry ice, the screen frequently becomes gunked up. No problem when doing it out in the open, just scrape a card across the bottom of the bucket. Is there another method you use? Would canned air be too messy?

I think the fellow in this video shook a little too long.

Here is some my my grade B from the same method.

Did you notice the large crack in his table?

It's better to be thought to be stupid, than it is to post a video that removes all doubt.!

I seen that split in the table where you put in the leaf. I thought that was a bad idea. I guess if he never puts the leaf in and he makes a lot of hash there he will eventually fill the slit with kiff.

I see a lot of people using just 220 micron bags why is this?
Also how hard is the dry ice on the mesh of the bags?

Has anyone tried this with bud and not just trim?

 

[Don Dump]

I dont know why people use the 220 to get more yield I guess. I had my best results using the 110. no damage to the bags. I have used untrimmed buds, works great. I'm going to make more soon, going to try for even better quality

I posted these pics in the other thread but here they are again.

Great Job Don Dump!
How did the plant material from the untrimed bud turn out. I mean did it crumble into a bunch of small bits?

 

[Don Dump]

thanks firefly. here's the last pic, yea it turned to powder basically

 

[FireFly22]

Great pic Don!
Highly encouraging! I've been doing all my stuff as a one man show and with this technique, and a Spinpro trimmer I could easily get the job done in a 10th of the time!

The different colors different intervals or micron screens?

 

[Don Dump]

that plate is all 110 micron, 4 different strains

I haven't done any dry sifting with dry ice, but several times I have fast (freeze) dried immature buds in a container with dry ice in the freezer. The buds smoke up noticeably more potent than the same buds dried air dried within a week, the odd thing is that the dry ice freeze dried bud's potency weakens within a week or so to the same or less potency than the buds dried normally and the increase in strength is only noticeable with immature picked buds, not mature harvested buds that have been dry ice freeze dried. I wonder why immature bud that's been dried this way is stronger and why this comparably stronger potency is temporary? any ideas?

Does the resin derived from immature trim made with dry ice seem stronger than standard dry sifted resin derived from the same material and does this resin's potency seem to weaken in strength in the space of a week?
And to keep it even, the comparison would require that the plant material be kept in contact with dry ice for a considerable time longer than 10 or 20 minutes. One way would be to place the plant material on slabs of dry ice in a container overnight in the freezer, then dry sift the plant material with small blocks of dry ice then smoke test and compare it with dry sift made from the same material, frozen overnight but without any dry ice for dry or sifting.

btw dry ice freeze drying technique is a viable way to test potency of females in mid flowering....I'm sure there's a thread here you could search for and learn more about it, the only thing to note is to leave the lid of the container (with the plant material sitting on the dry ice) slightly ajar....a cardboard shoe box works well, just poke a few holes in the lid and the plant material, small buds and leaf will be dry within 24 hours..but I'm not really sure on this process as it's been ages since I did it..so long ago it might of even been pre-ICmag and on Overgrow

back in the late 60's we were told about dry ice improving the potency of weed... it was said... and i concur that puttin shitty pot under a block of dry ice, makes it a lot stronger, but does not seem to make good weed any better . and as u state, it is only better for a short time... but in the 60's for the dealer it was a winning formula, and for the customer, the weed usually was consumed b4 it reversed back to shitty weed... sort of a win/win...
