Mriko salaam my brotha no the black piece was said to be from maazar and it was so sticky that we wouldnt liek to roll wiv it , as u know mriko when u rub the gardah it relases its oils and changes colour but this gardah was so oily we ddinyt want to release nemore, We had to put chunks in the freezer to let it harden then u had a 1 miut window before it melted again, the high TRuely medicinal

the gardah from tirah valley was UNBELIEVABLE, I MEAN FORGET BUBBLEHASH THIS WAS SOOOO TASTY AN STRONG , LEFT ME SPEACHLESS totally it gave me no clue that it was so heady and cerebral, it just smelt like grapefriut citrus but whensmoked, wow i never seen ne hash like it in the dam , my friends and i referd to it as th eorange cuz it had orange tints and the grapefriut flavour, i swaer this could be made from NYC lol


heres a pic of it




we also got some gardah that was sent from chitral this one my frined called the green as u can see green titns in it and it tatsy so skunky it was delicious i still cant make me mind up wichone was better, both unique

this is the one from chitral



we also got 100grams of this one that s we caled caramello as letreally it would melt in ure hand, on th epix u c liereally see th eoil oozing off, what a pian to roll wiv and and the least smoked due to its stickyness , very very medicinal and sleeping gear,

hers a few pix of it





trekking in da hindukush mounatins for a month smoking on some of da finest hash in th eworld, i mean ive smoked all of da templesblz, afghans and polms from da dam includin all the rif/morocan strians and they do not even compare to thses

Mriko i make me own bubblehash and ure right, some of these gardahs put the bubble to shame must be the starins they use.

everywhere i looked in the hindukushmounatins ther is weed plants growing all over, as we wwhere driving wiv th ewindow down, all u can smell is skunk and the plants look so healthy is untrue, bu tthen this is there ntural place of origin lol, the plants all seemed to vary from size to maturity but none whee ready toicolate, dam we was so guuted, i really fancied some real landrace bubblehash

Quite true. Pakistani's are hospitable people. They have to take people in , its part of their belief. which is why peopel think Bin ladenis somewhere in Pakistan. due to theri beleifs if Bin laden was to show up they would have to take him in, feed him and provide shelter.

I have heard that Taliban is regrouping and gaining power again. have you seen anything in your travels of taliban or extremism?


Look like a beautiful country and i am sure that they have amazing sights to see.








nevermind

[smokaholik]

Heheh, didn't you tried to burn it before mixing ? makes the work much easier even in hot weather !

Mriko i make me own bubblehash and ure right, some of these gardahs put the bubble to shame must be the starins they use.

Haaaaa ! this makes me very happy to read that ! a bubble maker who says local goodies are better than bubble one, yum ! yup, comes from the strain but also from the curing method and dry sieving I think.

Irie !

mriko,

I also think that the traditional dry seive method is preferable, but what is different about curing methods in Pakistan??

What is done in Pakistan in re. to curing that results in greater oil retention in pollen/resin glands?

I know that the same strain of cannabis can vary in terms of oil content and quality, based on ph, nutirents, age, other environmental conditions, etc.

I'd be curious to learn any new tricks.

salaam Mriko, i treid a few times to burn it first then mix it but u know its an art from lol , when i tried it the gardah was so sticky that when i heated it and tried mixing it, it went into small clumps/ balls which was even harder to roll so i just picked it in lol, the worst it rying to roll a spliff in the back of a moving riksha,now that is hard work lol

yup the hash i tried was astonishing mriko and im glad my comment made u happy lol , we was disspaonted that we didnt get to make any bubblehash out there( plants werent ready), have u ever seen the dry sift process id love some info Mriko and hav eu ever seen any finished flowerewed weed and if so what month lol, im planniing another trip but would love to go in harvest season lol

HI mooseeater, i was told that most freshly made gardah was wrapped in goatskin and buried in the ground for 1 month, i was shocked and would have htought that that riuned the potency but they swear by it and told me it rifines the weed somehow, how am i to argue lol ,

hers some more close ups for u
this one is the caremallo lol ( so soft that my fingerprints where stained in it)



heres the "orange one" from tirah just for u Mriko, if u look close u can see the orange colour and pigments, this one was scary, a garpfriut tasting rollacoaster, i didnt know u could get trip hash lol

Salam smokaholic Bahi !
Heheh, it's pretty easy actually. First you toast your cigarette, empty it and break the tobacco. with it you prepare a bed ( to receive the boiling resin). You keep in from of you ona table, or in your hand. thne you take a small piece of charas (not garda, must be pressed), flaten it until you have a small disk whic you put on the tip of a match (not the head, other tip). Then you old the the match above the bed of tobacco and set the charas disk on fire. let it BURN for a few seconds. Ideally, with best stuff, the resin should boil and melt and inflamed drops should fall on tobacco. Be sure it never fall on you hand, if no your in for something EXTREMLY PAINFULL ! As soon as the first drops of resin fall, then blow the disk (or what remains of it), but smoothly, if you blow too hard, you can send around a rain of small boiling drops. put all remaining boiled hash onto the tobacco bed and cover the resin wit the tobacco, kind of wrap it (all that must be done QUICKLY). then you start to work the thing, so that the tobacco and charas get homogenously mixed together. Actually from an ultra sticky stuff you shoudl end up with almost powdery one. mix mix mix, but with smooth touch, you don't want the resin and tobacco to clump together. You should end up with a nice and even mix of tobacco and charas. then roll or pack your double cigarette ! it's ready ! Even better tasting and stronger effect as well in my opinion.
of course, the lenght of burning time changes from a charas to another, needs several trials to get the good trick and feel how long this or that one needs to burn. if you end up with sticky clumps, then it was too short burning.

yup the hash i tried was astonishing mriko and im glad my comment made u happy lol , we was disspaonted that we didnt get to make any bubblehash out there( plants werent ready), have u ever seen the dry sift process id love some info Mriko and hav eu ever seen any finished flowerewed weed and if so what month lol, im planniing another trip but would love to go in harvest season lol

Alas no, I've not seen yet any sieving process, I hope next time I visit I can visit some hash factories in Darra. First time I was there was close to harvest time (late sept/early Oct.), was in yarkhun valley, north of Chitral. you can find finished buds from June to December (latest harvest time in Yarkhun). if you want to to some bubble, earliest harvest is around July-august I think (I smoked once some chitrali gardah from the same season inlate august). but not the better plants at this time. Better to go around November-early december to get dry plants. Usually pressing/sieving is made during wintermonths, cold temperatures making the work easier.

HI mooseeater, i was told that most freshly made gardah was wrapped in goatskin and buried in the ground for 1 month, i was shocked and would have htought that that riuned the potency but they swear by it and told me it rifines the weed somehow, how am i to argue lol

Right, most of times, the powder is stocked in Goatskin bags. Definitely makes it cure nicely. but one month sounds pretty short to me (well, depends for how long the dried buds have been stored also). I know it can be kept up to ten years like that ! yeah, Old is Gold !

HEre's a pic of some, if you allow me smokaholik



Mymy, all that charas looks great, makes me drool ! wish I had a tola or two for next Ramzan, but I'm afraid it gonna be a dry one !

Khuda Hafeez !
