Howzit folks..
I enjoy smoking my medicine through a chillum and rolled in joints so hash is a favourite of mine being a tobacco fiend too. I grow for my own use as well as make or refine most other medicines that I use and have for a long time. Next season I intend on planting big bushes just for my own hash stash for the next year, buds and all, and I have from this season a pound or four of seed crop where I need the seeds and can't wait till I've smoked it all so hash is the answer.. I have maybe 8 years hash experience, making dry sift and bubble as well as all sorts of oils but all on a small scale.
So to my questions..
How would one best process a whole lotta plants for just hash, moroccan style, dry sift, tumber, dry-ice tumble or washing machine bubble? I have lots of silkscreen material of all sizes so no bags needed and my payload bags have lasted me for years and extracted everything including hash but have eventually died so have to go homemade. I'd like to get a maximum yeild out but max quality too, separate 2 grades so I get my zero zero for chillums and 2nd grade for spliffs. I have hexane, lots of, and others so can make oil to make fortified 2nd grade.
How would one best process whole plants, and like a few kilos of plants? Trim fan leaves then? Dry, freeze and sieve? Dry, freeze, chop up? Dry, freeze, whole nugs off the stick? Wet, freeze, whole ? Wet, freeze, chopped up? How would one chop up kilos of frozen or dried buds easily? Should I dry, freeze, then bash in a bag moroccan style? So many options, I been trying to get my head around it for days..
Settled on building a drum tumbler in the future to test and getting a washing machine to try auto-bubble now to start playing with the seeded bud but would appreciate some input..How is best to remove seed before making hash as I assume will be a mission to get them out afterwards, dry them and still have the same viability?
If one had a whole field of dope just for ones personal hash, how would one best tackle it?
Is there that much of a terpene loss in bubble if one uses distilled water and works quick and cold? Would I be better off drying it all and tumbling quick for a zero zero grade and longer for a seconds and mixing 1/4 or so oil with the seconds to beef it up and pressing.?
Just curious on yer opinions..
Would I use a different method if I had 1 or 10 or 100's kgs of buds fresh and ready for hash? What ya reckon?
Thanks
So simply, what is the best way to process entire large plants of premium buds and all into hash of the highest quality while not being wasteful at all? 2 grades would be wanted...How scalable is any method proposed? Dealing with 20 pounds of trim is one thing, but how would you tackle like 20 big plants or so just for hash? How would you break up the buds so trichomes inside can be removed or would you just let the ice do it for you? Would be better to dry first or work it fresh and frozen? Is there really that much terpene loss with bubble when done correctly?
