i want to make hash, from my girls leaves

Dried cured frozen product is the best to use. I have tried fresh / wet frozen product. I got less end product and taste was some what greenish.

Place the bags in a 5 gallon bucket, fill 3/4 full with cold water. Add cured dried frozen product then cover the product with a bag of crushed ice. Add more water until the water is a few inched from the top of the bucket. Let stand for about 30 minutes. Use a mixer to agitate the ice and product 20 to 30 minutes then let rest for 20 minutes. Then repeat until the ice is almost all melted. Remove the bags together carefully and rinse with cold water.

Use a spoon to scrape the bubble hash (crack hash) off the bags screen.
Place on a paper towel and press the water out of the bubble hash. Careful here if you press all the water out the bubble hash will stick to the paper towel. Put the pressed bubble hash in the freezer until ready to smoke.

The white strains tend to give a blonde color hash. The White Widow crack hash i make is very smooth, tasty and keeps me alert and awake. I prefer bubble hash over joints any day.

Good Kannabis Growing!

thanks kanman,
i am deff gonna get the bubble bags now, they seem to be the thing to go for, could you tell me ,do they have a life span, will they last for more than one hash session,i i wanted to make about 1 ounze of quality hash how much bud and leaf would that require, my tip leaves are just as frosty as the buds, and most of the fan leaves have snow on them, so i suspect there good for hash making, please let me know ty again

it'd be very hard to get it wrong, it's so easy! the worst that can happen is you get spillage from one layer into a lower one...oh well, just rescreen it! and the bags will last many years and many lbs of high grade chunks if taken care of (washed after use and dried before storing is about it...i run mine thru the washing machine on gentle cycle and air dry). no chems, just water and ice (i've found smaller cubes work best). the water should be just above freezing (hurting kind of cold) and with about 15-20 minutes of mixing the ice, water and greenery in a bucket it's time to start screening. that's about it! as far as color, the 1st batch i made from trim and loose buds from the outdoor grow last summer and harvested at 10% red trich's and came out blonde...2nd batch i let em go until appx 90% had turned and got the red. both fine and similar in potency but flavor is abit heavier in the red...like duh, eh?

as far as drying, i just squeeze out as much water as possible while forming it into a 'snake' then finish drying in the open on a paper plate. then wrap in foil and the mason jar and into the fridge...it does finish quite hard when dry but easy to shave off slivers.

oops, just saw kanman's info...basically the same. one thing i'll add tho is...do your mixing in a separate bucket. do NOT mix inside the bags as they will get beat up by the blades. doing it in a separate bucket allows you to really get rough with the flowers without causing harm to the bags . the 2nd difference i see is i pull the bags out one at a time when doing the screening. when you get yours you'll figure it out. there's probably a couple dozen ways of getting to same end anyway and with bubblebags you can always do a do-over...

damn, got carried away here. my apologies...

thanks del , mate you got me buzzing here, im sitting here smoking a long fatty from my last crop and i just know its gonna be mad, i took a close look today i recon around three more weeks before they get the chop maybe a little bit less, then prob another three weeks before there dry enough to work with, i would prefure to cure for another few weeks at least, but heck thats another nine weeks before i get to make hash, oooooh i dunno if i can wait that long, i have enough of the last crop left to see me through, so is curing deff a nesseserty ?, if it is then i will just wait, i am just a little impatiant when i know something good is gonna happen lol, these girls look like there going to be heavly frosted again, there all very healthy but one looks a little strange, the fan leaves are made up of nine leeflets at the bottom of the plant and decrease to 1 single leeflet at the top, i have seen this before but never on my best girl, this plant is the heaviest yealder in my crop, she is also 8 inches taller than the rest, she looks very healthy so i am a little confused as to why the single leaflets, i have got tons of pics to share but i realy dont no how to make a pic small enough to post on here, my camara takes pics in 1..2..3..3.1..and 5 meg settings but even the 1 meg pics seem to be to big to allow me to post and pose my girls off, i have been working with these girls for a long time and they now look quite impresive on harvest day, i just gotta show ya some pics when the time comes eh !!!!! they normaly look just like white fir tree cones, only they glisten white a bit more, there quite hard as well, very nuggety, most of the fan leaves even now are very crystley, i am expecting to tie the tops up to prevent stress when they bend as they normaly do, i would love to start messing around withe some quality sativas but i am not sure about there pain killing qualitys, i love the taste of sativas and the high is very nice to, but they dont do much with my pain, any suggestions there ?, dont appologise for the long post mate i aprieciate all the advise and suggestions i get from everyone, this is quite a cool site and now that i am finding my feet in here i am having much pleasure chatting with you all, i hope i will continue to meet you all on here soon, i am also totaly mashed on that fatty i smoked earlier, i am planning on going to amsterdam this summer so if any of you guys gonna be there eh !!!!, thanks again and sorry to write so much hehehehehe i guess thats the spliff eh !

I am a firm believer in the ice extraction type hash. I purchased a set on the net for about $100 bucks (3bag system) and think they are just great. The product they produce is so potent and very very tasty. I used to do the oil thing but since I started making hash, I have never turned back.

The kits are reusable over and over again. I have used mine over 15 times now and they are still working great and show no sign of wear.

There are a few places on the internet to pick them up. Bubblebags (Bubbleman), something like bubblebags.co.uk and I picked up my set at www.resinextractor.com.

Anyone who has access to trimmings or is a regular grower should have a set of these.

hay thanks you guys, i am gonna try and buy one today, when i think of all the trim that i have ever thrown away cos i had so much, (dam i was a fool lol ), i wish i had have learned about computers and registered on this site a long time ago, so thanks to all of you, i am still a little confused on what the ice is for, but i shall start making ice cubes today lol, thanks, i shall go and take some more pics to show how there getting on

i took these this morning, acording to my dates i might have to wait a little longer about 7 days, take a close look at the trichomes and tell me what you think, i dont think there that far away, i might have made a mistake on my calender oops !!!! how close do you think they are........ peace

The purpose of the ice is to keep the water cold cold cold. By keeping the water cold, you keep the tric's on the leaves hard (instead of sticky) so that you can beat them off of the leaves and capture them in the screen.

Pretty simple method with excellent results.

hi holysmokemaker
thanks for your reply, have you or anyone got any ideas as to how much hash can be made from about 10 onces of frosty tip and small buds, i have about the same again in big buds, i dont mind using some of them but i dont want to use all my loverly buds,i tried to buy the bubble bag system yesterday from my local head shop, but none in stock, i have also seen advertised the electric tumbler system i like the look of this, i am just a little worried about spending on my card over the net,

Thats pretty much what I thought. Have you ever used bubble bags?
I'm wanting to get a set, I just want to hear someone who's used them tell me how they work.
