Easiest/Favorite Way to Make Hash?

[Weedhound]

I am the studying stage of this.....what's the easiest method to make decent hash in everyones' opinion and which way makes the best QUALITY hash? How much do you need and how much does it make? Any info on this appreciated. I have heard of things like bubble hash and shower curtain hash...do these things really make decent hash?

There are a hundred ways to make hash.
The best, easiest one I've found is the x-tractor 1000.
Set it up in an extra shower or anywhere with easy water and a drain, and the hardest part will be waiting for the hash to be done.
It costs a lot more than some other systems, but it is definitely the easiest, and the best yield.
I put in 150 grams of trim, and I've gotten as little as 10 grams to as much as 19.5 grams of high quality bubbling hash.
Kif boxes make the tastiest hash in my opinion, but it's hard to get as much from a kif screen as you can with the x-tractor.

I've never heard of the X-tractor but I will look into it....Im totally into "ease of operation" to a fault, lol

X-C, I know you've made hash...what's your method?

I use butane extraction - it makes the strongest hash / hash oil but it's gooey and a pain to work with. One hit chit though.

Easiest? Of course, you said 'decent' hash lol so I guess my method is out....

Save trim in paper bag until full
Crush and stuff in mason jar
Cover with isopropanol 70% for 24h
Strain off into GLASS saucepan
Rinse remaining plant material down with isopropanol
Strain rinse in with the rest
Place saucepan over another one full of water
Gently heat and allow to evaporate to dryness
Scrape up green glop and put in an airtight container
Allow to 'rest' about 2 weeks to mellow a bit (drawback of iso hash is that it extracts chlorophyll too, lol... of course, if your trim is wicked old and dry this is less of a problem).
Enjoy, or give to your broke-ass loser friends who can't afford the good shit.

You people and your flammables scare me.....Stinky...love the broke-ass loser friends comment.....I have many. :D

How do you spell flammable? Flamible? Flammeble? Dear god....

I did cause an explosion in my kitchen the first time I tried this. Hence the heat GENTLY in a double boiler.... otherwise you will hear a soft *FOOP* noise and your range will be sporting a lovely blue pillar of flame.

Bubblebags.

Used to do non-polar solvent until I near blew up the house.

Yay, you're in the club!

Your membership goodie bag includes a fire extinguisher and an asbestos T-shirt that says "I <3 blowing things up".

Rhizome I can already see me blowing up the house so I know what you mean....plus after hearing X-Crispi's story it scares me even more.....I can barely handle a lighter without danger so anything like that is out for me. I mean seriously you guys saw what I happened when I got ahold of some innocent fungus spray...

when you do the bubble bags how many screen layers do you do?

if you do a net search for x-tractor 1000, you will find it. They also have a kit that's a lot cheaper, but not nearly as easy.
P.S. It uses ice water for the solvent, so nothing to blow up.
P.P.S. Bubble bags are much harder to use, and the bags absorb a lot of the oils, so you lose some quality and the yield from bags is quite a bit less than what you'd get from the extractor.

Thanks psteve...I guess $$ is the trade off for the ease of operation....I'll do a net search. ;)

Be prepared. It's quite spendy.:eek: But if you know a few growers who can go in on one....:thumbsup:

Kool- do I get my eyebrows back?

Weedhound- have used 3 & 8 screen kits-
if you have a reasonable amount of trim, go for the 8. Much better control over final seperations.

Or see if they'll sell ya the 37u as a single w/ the 3-bag kit.

[Weedhound]

Ok that didn't take long...$895.00....little too much ease of operation for me I'm afaid. On the good side I also found a site where I can buy extra implements for my utility tractor....always a good find. :)

Damn, how do you spell implements? Impliments? Fuck I need a decent spell-checker.....

If you go with bags, my experience is, less is more. 2 or 3 bags is enough.
