Drying Hash

[norkali]

I have produced what looks like 10.1 grams of bubble hash from my C99 grow.

The problem is, it isn't fully dry. What's the best way to dry the bubble hash?

If you are using the 'bubble bag' system, it should have come with a 10um screen and a thick, soft piece of what looks like hemp cardboard- this is blotting card, and you have probably already pressed off a lot of the excess in it, correct?
Your hash is still going to be a bit damp, and it can mold if left like that. I treat mine like a bud that has gone through a preliminary drying but has not been jarred or cured.
I flatten it out pretty well and put it in a shallow glass container, like a jelly jar, and crack the lid half an hour twice a day until it is dry to the touch, just like for curing weed.

To prevent mold, I never seal it air tight. I squeeze as much water out as possible, then break it into small chunks. Then I keep it in the open, on a dish or tray, for a couple weeks. After that, it goes into a non airtight tin, like from altoids or sucrets, or whatever.
Some people use silica gel desiccant packs in with their hash to achieve the desired humidity.

Ok, cool, thanks guys.

Stinky, I have the O'kief set of bags; I got the 10 Micron(?) pressing screen, but no pressing card.

I intentionally did not flatten the hash too much; to keep it nice and 'fluffy.' I know this greatly increases the chances of mold, so I then let it sit out in my 'drying' space for a 4 days. As expected, the outside is nearly perfect, and the inside is still too wet.

I have already applied the bud/hash curing logic, they sat in an old dispensary container for a night in an attempt to draw some of the moisture out, it worked pretty well. So it looks like I wasn't too far off....good to know. :thumbsup:

....At work; will post a couple pic's in a little bit.

Mmmmm....

Wow, you can see the moisture in it.

Where do you think I can get the 10 micron screen if my bubble bag set doesn't have them?

Peace,
