I use the bubbleator and the bubblebags (7 bags). i hear people speaking about gettting 10%-15% yield. I never got more as 4%. I dont use fan leaves, just clippings and small buds. is it really possible to get 10-15%?

[gaiusmarius]

i think 5 % is a good yield from trim and budlets. 4% is normal. always depending on the trichome coverage of the strain used. some strains will only give 3 %

make sure you do at least 2 runs. with the bubble machine it's easy to do so even 3 runs are worth it. you can always use the third run to make hash butter or bho or vaporize it?

[Moppel]

yes , i always do 3 runs. but is 10-15% a lie?

[gaiusmarius]

i think thats when you use top indoor buds that you get the best yield. but how much that yield will be don't ask me. 15% sounds possible from a really resin covered strain using the buds.

Glad to hear, i was already thinking that i was doing something wrong

5% of total weight of popcorn buds and trim... if this concerns only the 73mu it is good, if this is the total hash weight it is low... that could go over 10%... I guess with good buds 15% should be possible...

well i have made a ton of bubble, ( literaly) and i can say that the highest i've realy ever seen return is just over 10%. I remember back in the day bog was saying he got 18%, but was weighing his bubble wet, so that didnt count. A very small amount of water present in the final product can confuse ratio's.
I have gotten as little as 2% of fan leaf return and as high as 10% for fine trim, that does not include bud at all> I have run tons of bud as well, but never get more than 10% return even with bud. I think the process is realy about getting WHAT IS THERE. as the ratio's can and will change depending on strain, growing conditions, and about a million other factors.
Just my two cents.
the whole process is just much more fun, when you focus on the QUALITY that you get, and not the QUANTITY.

peace

ok cool bubbleman. a question: i always supposed that the 25 micron bag gave the best bubble. isnt that true?

[gaiusmarius]

no mopple the best stuff gets clected in the middle size bags. ie. the 73, 45, 90, and 120 some times. it all depends on the size of the trichome heads on which screen they are collected.

the 25u bubblw is basically made only from trichome stalks, all the trichome heads got cought in the middle bags.

thanks for that info. strange.....i never knew that. i thought: the smallest bag, has the smallest trichomes....
