I was bored so I thought I would make a guide about the star rating system used for bubble hash. Using micron sizes to rate the quality of bubble hash is not very accurate anymore considering all the variables that come into play. Fresh vs dry material, trim vs whole plant, strained vs microplaned, 4 bags vs 8 bags. These are just some of the examples of different variables that come into play. Therefore, most hash makers now choose to use the star system instead of rating the quality with micron sizes. All of the pictures used in this guide are screenshots of this video from Mr. nice. All of this information comes from listening to bubbleman, Mr. nice, and other hash makers.
1 Star
Melt=0%
Dabable=no
Fully combusts when heated. Very harsh, earthy taste.
2 Star
Melt=25%
Dabable=no
Glistens on surface when heated. Usually very dark with an earthy taste.
3 Star
Melt=50%
Dabable=no
Forms bubbles on surface then combusts when heated. Earthy taste with hints of original strain. Also known as half melt
4 Star
Melt=75%
Dabable=yes
Bubbles into puddle of oil when heated. Taste of strain with hints of earthy taste. Also known as ice wax
5 Star
Melt=90%
Dabable=yes
Bubbles into very small puddle when heated. Taste of strain present. Also known as ice wax
6 Star
Melt=100%
Dabable=yes
Bubbles into nothing. Will melt through a screen. Full taste of strain present. Also known as ice wax or full melt.
7 Star
This is another rating that came about recently to describe 5 and 6 star bubble hash with cannabis-derived terpenes added back into the hash
