Bubble Bags- detailed instructions? - Cannabis Growing Questions - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

teddynugent · 05-18-2004, 06:17 AM

Hello all,

A friend of mine just let me borrow his bubble bags. It's a 5-bag kit. I read through the directions at the BubbleBags site, browsed through the GrowFAQ at OG, and skimmed through posts here and at OG. I really didn't find any directions.

Can you tell me how much trim should be used at a time for the best results? I have a big garbage bag half full of leaf (it's gotta be over a LB), and I'd like to get it all done as quick as possible, but I don't want any to go to waste.
Also, anyone have a guess as to how much hash I'll get from that amount of leaf? Almost all the leaf is very frosty....mmmm....

I am looking for detailed instructions on how to use these bags right. This is my first time, and I don't want to make any beginner mistakes. I also want to get the highest quality hash possible. I don't want any of the leaf to go to waste either. I want every last crystal

Any information and/or links you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to find some very nicely detailed instructions or a step-by-step tutorial. I'm also looking for tricks and tips from those with experience using the bags.

Thank you in advance for any help,

-Teddy

Umm, the directions on the BubbleBags site are very detailed and walk you through every step : Instructions

mybeans420 · 05-18-2004, 07:11 AM

are you looking for quality or quantity

the best bubblehash i've ever had was made using only 2 of the bags provided
the 73
and the 220
plus a 120 mesh silkscreen for the final pour.

this technique is used with fresh frozen trim, (not dried)

i'm still learning it myself as my roommate is the one who came up with it but when he's back in town i'll post more detail. (about a week and a half)
sorry if thats not much help to ya

right on

I have used less bags before as well, the 73 and the 220. It worked well and cut down on alot of time draining bags.

mybeans420 · 05-18-2004, 07:23 AM

do you use dry or fresh trim?

05-18-2004, 07:25 AM

i use close on a pound of trim in a set of 5 gallon bags ... if you check out bubblemans site there should be a good set of intructions there .... ive found it to be a trial and error learning process for me , initially i was getting shitty stuff , but attribute that to old worn bags and overbeating ... since i have new ones and beat much easier , and often with a wooden paddle .. lol ... i get a much better product , soft sticky and she melts just right ... last batch of bubble done with seeded bud yielded some fantastic golden full melt ... dont expect a heap of return , and hang on to that 73 for dear life , that and the 45 are the nicest in my books ... and be clean , keep your bags real clean , wash as soon as you remove the hash ...

05-18-2004, 07:29 AM

oh by the way use all of them , i only miss out the 190 as i dont like it or the 160 , the 120 is often ok , but you definately want to keep it out of the 73 and have it seperate and so on ,, theres many bags for a reason ...

mybeans420 · 05-18-2004, 07:37 AM

great point on the wooden paddle wallyduck
that in my observations has been a big problem for a lot of people
(beating it too much that is)
hmmm, that sounded kind of perverse huh

anyway if you like your bubble fresh then break your pound into smaller batches and make it as you need it. that's assuming your lef is dry because a half garbage bag is a lot of leaf an for it to only weigh a pound it must be dry. with fresh frozen i agree with wally
i likes it fresh

trichomefarmer · 05-18-2004, 09:22 AM

fresh but well frozen.
more ice the merrier, avariety of sizes is better.

be clean always check your shirt cuffs, for bits of green or better yet wear a t-shirt.

I rinse the hash while on the screen to wash away anything that gets stuck in the wet resin pile.

DRY YOUR HASH COMPLETELY BEFORE PRESSING.

I don't remember anything in Bubbleman's instructions about beating the bags. Could someone explain this process?
