Subcool's In Depth Bubble Hash Adventure

[Subcool]

I wanted to show you guys how I make bubble. I do it basically the same way as everyone else with a few small modifications that I feel make it some of the best I have tasted.

We will get into a step by step but first lets look at some goodie shots.

Bubblehash is simply Trichomes pressed together.

Here are some of the key things I feel I do a bit different.
1. I only use fresh, wet, frozen sugar leaf. I use only plant matter that is encrusted in resin we toss all fan leaves etc. For best results include as much fluff(Encrusted lower popcorn buds) in with the trim.
2. I use a slotted spoon and hand stir for a maximum of 15 minutes. 8-10 minute batches are even better and higher quality.
3. Make sure to use bagged ice thatâ??s broken into smaller pieces or flakes this will break off more heads.
4. Make smaller batches over larger ones. I prefer the 1 gallon bubble bags as I can place the ice water and weed mix in the refrigerator to pre chill. The colder the better.
So we take the 1 gallon bags and add a layer of ice.
Then we add about 3â?� of sugar leaf

Definition encrusted waste only no fans of crap and use fresh wet frozen weed!

Add a second later of ice, more weed then top off with Ice lots of rough shaped ice. Top of with water leaving about 1â?� from top of bucket.
Place in the fridge for about 30 minutes and donâ??t forget to clean up the condensate that will freeze and Jill cleaned up for me.
After the mix sits and is really cold remove place in sink and start stirring in a motion so that the stuff on bottom comes to top and the ice and water agitates to the bottom. The roundy roundy will come later but at first concentrate on moving the mix in a up to down motion as the trichomes break off and pass the screen they will naturally fall into the bottom of the bucket. As the ice breaks apart and you get more room you can increase the stirring action and really whip it up. This takes a full 15 minutes and it take a few batches before I could do it the entire time without a small break but you get used to it.
Stir Stir Stir 5 minutes seems like 20 but after 10 minutes it will be foaming and this is when I shift into turbo stir really buffeting the mix around to maximize production.
When making multiple batches I just load the next as I press the last batch out.
I even re use the water and we save the left over leaf to use in butter making. Some people run there trim twice but the product you see in the pics is what Iâ??m after and nothing else!
Once the mix is stirred well I again allow it to sit for like 20 minutes and then I simply drain each bag starting with the 240.
The Clean Trichome latent water is then poured through the 160 bag to strain out impurities. Then again through the 120, this is strained and folded into a triangle so the resin heads collect in one corner.
The green water is then poured through the 73 Ui bag and the same process is repeated. Once more with the 25 Ui bag and then we collect the payoff with a spoon and place onto the pressing screen provided with the bags I desperately need a new one of these. Bubbleman?

So scooping it out and onto the screen we close the wet sand inside and press out the water with a paper towel. Once its really dry into the freezer it goes for about 30 minutes this allows easy removal from the pressing screen.
Thatâ??s really all I can think of and about as in depth as I can make it so make some and show off you own crazy close ups here in the hash forum!

[Subcool]

Once the mix has been stirred I allow it to rest for at least 30 minutes. This allows the trichomes heads to settle to the bottom.

Removing the first bag separates the weed from the heads.

On the second run I use the 120 Ui screen. This removes plant matter but surprisingly with wet product used even the 120 is gooey and great smoke just have green flakes in it.






Now we move to the 73 Ui screen which according to the strain will be the largest amount and some of the best you will capture.

Once the bags are drained I fold into a ½ so a V is formed in the silk net. This traps all the heads in a small enough corner to scrape out with a spoon and place on the silk pressing cloth that comes with bubble bags





I also run the 25 Ui bags to capture any smaller heads or in some cases of strains having very small resins like ETF and some sativa hybrids you actually catch a good bit here.

I press as much water out as possible with paper towels smashing the pressing screen.

[Subcool]

I place the pressing screen in the freezer this allows you to flake off the chips of bubble and I then place on wax paper to dry over night. The next day or in some cases two you can roll it into a small turd as you see here. After another day I now prefer to crumble this as it allows all moisture to dry out and makes full melt bubble.


If its ok with you guys Iâ??m going to smoke bowls and kinda skip around here abit. I wanted to show off the finished shots first and back track. After making the bubble each strain requires a different drying period before you can handle it. This bubble was made yesterday and I can pick it up and shape it but if I hold it to long it will start getting soft and stick to you hands. My camera is covered in hash after this shoot.

[Dankmike]

like watching a baby be born, good shit.

[budsmoker only]

i would love to be able to make bubble hash like that.. are those bubble bags pricey?

[Subcool]

This is a follow up thread with many more pictures so you can get a exact idea on how I make the gooey blobs you see below, this is Jacks Cleaner and Jack the Ripper Bubble. We have your classic shapes first a simple round ball. The end result of this little project was a nice 6.6 gram lump of 73& 25 Ui, and also a nice 3 gram piece of 120 Ui.
So I take the ball of hash thatâ??s now tacky and roll it out into a long worm, this batch was extremely melty and caramel looking which means it will be really good crumble. Then I simply allow to sit for about 30 minutes and the outside will oxidize. I then twist the turd to expose the inner lighter colored resins and continue to twist until I get a swirl effect some bending some shaping and then some close ups with a macro lens.

:thumbsup:

[Subcool]

I think these small bags were 100 usd with our 20% medical discount.

Ok No we will take a look at each separate piece that I made normally I would keep each small piece separate but the blends of JC lemon and JTR lemon with go nicely together and the small amount of JCB should give it a nice fruity undertone.

I use wax paper to allow the fresh bubble to dry even if its gooey once I dries it will come right off like silly putty. If I try and peal it and it doesnâ??t come right up I leave it alone. You can see how I tore some for this shoot so you can see what I mean, itâ??s just easier if you donâ??t have gooey crap stuck all over each piece of wax paper.

This hash is pretty much the same quality in the 73 and 25 UI stuff so as I mentioned I mixed it together many times I will keep each piece separate and I love Apollo-13 #73 very much in fact thatâ??s what I am smoking while making this post thank god I use word first.

[Subcool]

This is what this thread is about!

[Subcool]

It will tear your ass up too!







I never mix in the 120 but amazingly the crumble you see is just that made form a-13 and Tinybomb itâ??s pretty exceptional I can se small impurities in the 120 JC/JTR mix but during the twisting I can tell the quality by how sticky it is and how it holds itself together and this is deff the good stuff.



You can see I was a busy beaver yesterday and to me itâ??s important not to over fill the 1 gallon bubblebags so I can get a good agitation going and really get the trichomes to break loose and filter them through the screens.

Some of these pieces are amazing looking but its mainly due to the thickness they were pressed into. You can see a small difference in the 25 UI stuff as the trichs are smaller and the hash is actually easier to see through one weird thing about 25 Ui bubble is it turns dark and gets hard before the 73?

[Subcool]

Seems we have visitors and I am not sure there purpose but they seem determined to do some damage. No matter what defense we offer they seem impervious to our futile attempts to resist.


Hash is really cool to take pics of it changes form and color as time passes and when shot super close you just get amazing stuff recorded.

[Subcool]

Ok here comes the show :)

You know the deal I dial up so this may take awhile :)


Thanks for the space!

:D

Sub:cool:

[Subcool]

Just gooey....

[Subcool]

:cool:

All this is absolutly Full melt:thumbsup:

[Subcool]

Apollo-13 Bubble maybe the best in the world IMO it makes malana cream and the best morocan taste like camel shit.
This is like smoking candy!

It makes your head go WAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWA:stoned:

[Subcool]

Scarlet Bubble still wet #73
Never seen bubble or bubble water this color there was virtually no green in the water.
It came form the depths

[Subcool]

It's a bit tacky today to rally get down with molding but I was able to form some cool shapes even with it still gooey.

This one kinda looks like a snail.




If you use your imagination its an elephant head.


Also a Lion Roaring?

I'm not high or anything :eek:

[Subcool]

Ok I need a break I'll be back!

[Abattoir Dream]

when i look at all this stuff, it doesnt look like something i wanna smoke.. i obviously would.... lol all the pictures begin to look the same the more you look at them, just look like little bits of fresh shit, i dunno, i think i'll stick to bud....

[Subcool]

No Prob I will smoke it for ya :)

[Nocturnal Stoner]

no offence, but it looks like shit, as in faeces, but i wish i had some of that, seriously

[stinkyattic]

I think it looks like brown sugar that is all stuck together. I remember picking the lumps out of the bag and eating them when I was little and my mom was making cookies. Candy for the big kids! :D

[rottenPauL]

i dont care about how it looks. They only think i know, is that i desperately want some of the apollo hash... Best i had in my life was charas cream, but your shit looks like 100 times creamer hahahahha i think i can smell it through the screen... :D:D:D:D

[Zoosh]

Hash looks amazing man.
:) Jealous, very jealous.

[ToDrunkToFish]

Watchin you make hash confused the fuck outa me. But all I know is that shit fucks you up lol.

[Parallel Universe123]

Damn that stuff looks POTENT!

[Delta9 UK]

wow

[True_Hippie]

good lord man i don't even really lookin at all the pics....depressing....anyway i could pay you Subcool to get some of that amazing product?....it's so beautiful :stoned:

[bavet]

Such Beauty U da man.

[orangeman]

Lol looks like a bunch of feces. I wonder what some one would do if they saw a wet piece of has like that laying on the street and it smelled of skunk. Wonder if they would think it was shit and just pass by lol!

[True_Hippie]

i've read through this bubble hash thing so many times and i just don't understand how to do it.....how long does the whole process take? Sub if you could help me out a lil more on how to do this it would be greatly appreciated....email is [email protected]
Thanks, Peace Hippies

[True_Hippie]

something this special deserves to be at the top.....it's insane

[Abattoir Dream]

one thing i dont get about subcool, he literally pops in, shows us some AMAZING pics, then shoots off again without answering any questions...

it may be because hes very busy, but surely he could pop back every now and then at least...

[rottenPauL]

i dont think he has time to be on the boards. What he does, is goin to different boards presenting his goodies from time to time :D:D:D:D:D

[Subcool]

After the Cup I got extremly busy and I had to deal with all the work generated there. I didn't abandone you guys just I run 2 sites and support many others, roll a spliff and chill abit.

As fas as bubble hash if you don't have some bubble bags its a mute point and if you do then this thread easily shows how to improve the quality of your finished product.
Simply put the resin glands freeze break off and you use these bags to filter them out. My method of hand stirring, wet frozen shake and high quality organic weed makes for these amazing pics.
I am uploading hash pics from the scamabis cup in holland and you can see the impurities in there super hash. What a joke they insult a real grower!
Nikon don't lie.


I would post more here if I had a forum to organize my threads I can build an intire how to school if youd like but I get lost easy and a TGA forum like other sites provide helps me stay organized.

I don't know who the boss is?

[Hagbard Celiene]

is it too late to request something like a lighter or pack of smokes or something in a pic for size referance?

[Subcool]

These pieces are about the size of a quater I use 1 gallon bags so these pieces only weigh about 1 gram each

Sub

[MaDd]

No Prob I will smoke it for ya :)



thanks.

boasted my high a little

[SDK SLAYER]

BUMP !!!! :thumbsup:

[jessem98]

great work as always subcool.

[Reefer Rogue]

lol nice bump, tremendous hashish

[JerryBerries420]

i wanna get that automatic bubblelator that takes like 15 minutes its about 200 usd

[OzzyOz]

subcool, your pics are awesome!!!
Bubblehash is some seriously delicious and amazingly potent stuff ( if its FM then its almost too strong for me )... It's just so damn good!!!
Your pics are great, and so are your strains

peace

[KickYoAss]

I'm wanting to grab one of those, anyone have one already? I just want to know if it's worth it. Does it just have a high intensity vibration, or does it work more like hand mixing with a wooden spoon?

[JerryBerries420]

idk but it looks dank

[t3chyo]

oh boy do thos look amazing, good job:rastasmoke:

[solar dan]

it seems that people dump the waste water when making bubble-hash with a washing machine and bags (mixing a bag of ganja with a bag of ice and washing it as a small cold/cold load).

that waste water is actually highly-enriched water, containing much thc, and similar to ganja tea. a small wash generates about 15 gallons of waste water (so called because it does get one wasted...), as i recently discovered when i drank the waste water that came out of the process (before it was dumped into the garden). this fortified ganja water can be bottled, refrigerated, made into ice cubes, used for cooking, bathing, etc., etc. etc...

the hash/ganja/waste water contains the finest/smallest thc particles that make it all the way through all the filters, and those particle remain in suspension in the waste water. the cold-water extraction process does not seem to dissolve the thc in the water, nor bind it chemically.

capturing, reclaiming and enjoying the waste water does not diminish, in any way, the production of bubble hash.

the plentifulness of hash water makes 'free' thc available for compassionate caregiving, and i'd give it to anyone as a substitute to meth or other bad drugs.

i urge all dispensories and other thc providers to distribute hash water and to also offer it as a substitute to alcohol and/or other junk drinks.

a word of caution - the hash water is dehydrating! drink regular water with it and don't use it when it is for thirst quenching - coz it'll make you thirsty!

down the line, further experimentation with brewing hash water and ganja wine making should also be explored, as well as methods to extend the shelf-life of the hash water.

enjoy the drink and spread the word!

peace :rastasmoke:

[ograskal]

Hey Sub....Nice Thread!!!....Just wondering where you got your 1 gallon Buckets from....I cant seem to find any anywhere.....Thanks..~ograskal

[solar dan]

hey ograskal - thanks for the post.

i didn't say anything about 1 gallon bags, but, instead i referred to a bag of loose ganja trimmings or shake (like a paper supermarket bag), and a bag of ice, like at the liquer store.

but, anyway, the more ganja - the more bubble hash...., so that nothing is going to waste, and as far as the waste water is concerned - the more and better the ganja, the better the waste water.... as to the 'right' ratio of ganja to ice, perhaps a cold water extraction specialist, which i'm not, could chime in on that.

what i'm reporting is purely experimental.

comparing hash water to ganja tea (made with hot water, crushed and pulverized ganja in a french press), which i also favor and which is a hot water extraction method, my limited experiments suggested that the hash water is more potent.

finally, remember: But I would not feel so all alone, Everybody must get stoned. - bob dylan, rainy day woman #12 & 35

You know just how to steal a stoners heart away Sub cool.

Your stuff always looks perfect

[ograskal]

1. I only use fresh, wet, frozen sugar leaf. I use only plant matter that is encrusted in resin we toss all fan leaves etc. For best results include as much fluff(Encrusted lower popcorn buds) in with the trim.

So we take the 1 gallon bags and add a layer of ice.
Then we add about 3â?� of sugar leaf



I was asking Sub if he uses 1 gallon Bubblebags where does he get his 1 gallon buckets from?????

[dean0000]

Great collection of hash. It must be so rewarding to turn all those trimings into little pieces of gold.

[solar dan]

yo subcool; great post!

just wanna add a small detail - and that is DRINK THE WASTE WATER from bubble hash making. it'll get you wasted!....

even after all the filtration, there still is very fine thc suspended in the waste water. it can be drunk straight, used in cooking, and, although i have not tried it yet, it probably will make good skin care when soaking in it...

every wash makes about 15-20 gallons.... enough to give away. it is a perfect substitute for alcohol and other shit drugs. only drawback - its quite dehydrating.

try it and spread the word

peace :rastasmoke:

FUCK ME SIDEWAYS! that looks niiiiiiiiiice
