Creating Hashish!?

Good evening everyone! I have a few question for the cannabis connoisseurs that cruise these boards. I have 30+ grams of clippings of some mid-grade cannabis that i grew this summer. 5/8's to 3/4's of these clippings are very nice (covered in trichomes.) The rest of it has trichomes but not a whole lot. These clippings are both small leaves and under developed buds. Now i also have another 10-20 grams of under developed bud from the bottom of my plants that i can use. These have not been trimmed at all and are so dry i probably wouldnt even try to.

So my problem is that i don't know what to do with all this green stuff. I went out and got a bunch of butter and was thinking about making some nice treats. Then i went to weigh out my clippings and realized i have way over an ounce of this shit. It almost seemed wrong to throw all this stuff in a big pan of butter and cook it up. It then dawned on me that all these little trichomes here could be a nice piece of hash. What do you guys and gals think? Could you guys give me an estimate on how much hash you think i could get out of this stuff and what type of method i should go for. I am interested in trying to do bubble hash. I have a slik screen (they told me it was the smallest size they had, but i don't know the exact size.)

So what do you all think? Should i even try to mess around with making hash, or would it be pointless?

I am still interested in doing a single batch of brownies (1lb of butter.) How much clippings would you sugest for a batch of potent brownies?

Thanks a lot guys, i am a very indecisive person so i could use some help here.

Thanks!

Grind that shit up, stuff it into a PVC pipe and make some HONEY OIL!:thumbsup:

I'd throw it all on brownies....

I just got done placing 32 g's of stems & shake into my crock-pot with a lb. of organic unsalted butter! (for the first time!)

If you have the patience to wait maybe 2 days, I will let you know if it is a disappointment or not.

(1 day for cooking, another day to bake the cookies and report)

3 choices for hash-

hash oil.

dry sifted hash.

hand rubbed.

the way i make hash oil is to just get everclear alcohol, drown the weed in a container, cool it, knock off the resins by stiring vigorously, then strain and boil off the alcohol leaving hash oil.

dry sifted will take a screen. you can get it at michaels craft store. they use it to silkscreen tshirts. force the dried cannibus through the screen onto a plate below. to do this method, you need the weed to be very dry.

just force it through the screen. how you do that and how much you want to come through is up to you. i use my hand to furce it through. then a film forms on it.

which brings me to my last hash. hand rubbed.

if you simply rub the hell out of the material you got, a film will form. this film is pure thc basically.

its ver potent, but wont give that much.

just rub the weed over the same place on your hand or something. if the weed is real sticky, it will work great for hand rubbed.

you just keep rubbing for like 45 minutes. with the amount you have, you rub for 1 and a half hours.

as for the brownies..... if i was you, i would just eat it raw, but heated with vegetable oil added to it.

you can do that. mix the oil with the weed, then heat it till the stems turn brown, then eat it plain or on some other food. you will be blasted. it only takes 1 gram to get blasted like that.

can anyone give me an estimate on what kind of yield i could pull off this stuff for hash

the amount of keif or hash you will get from one ounce.... it depends on the method of hash making and what you have.

hand rubbed and hash oil will give you the most potent hash, but the least amout. its hard to estimate how much you would get from a o of clippings.

as for keif..... that also depends on what kind of weed clippings you have. what i mean is.... some plants have more to givethen others. typically, indicas give more then sativas.

without knowing what oyu have..... you should get between 3 to 10 grams of keif from 28 g's of clippings. maybe more, maybe less.

the easiest way would be to make hash oil. its very simple, and its hard to screw up.

but as for keifing it out..... thats fun but it takes work. if you were sifting a whole ounce, i would expect it to take at least an hour, and even then you might not get it all.

you can eat the cannibus that dosent fall through the screen. or you can make hash oil from the stuff left on the screen!

i say u get a grinder with a keif catcher
grind up your clippings for your butter
ull get all that keif and you will get mad batches of brownies
so u could eat one brownie, then smoke mad keif bowls

thanks for the info. Last year i ran the stuff through a kief box and then used the leftovers for brownies, it worked well.

the hash oil sounds interesting. From what i gather it seems that you can extract the majority of the thc from the plant matter. Does anyone have any preference on method? I am kind of turned off by the chemical aspect.

thanks for the help

For hash oil i'd use butane. Sounds scary rofl, but the butane evapourates almost instantly and your only left with the sticky honey oil.

But making hash is more fun imo. And you'll get something thats easier to roll/use.

You should be looking for about 10-15, maybe even 20% to come though, it will differ though from strain to strain and what your using. [bud/trimmings]

bud butter is sounding better and better. I just seems like it's not really worth doing the oil or kief (maybe if i had more clippings.) Do you guys prefer the slow cooker method over a long period? I was just thinking about rigging up a double boiler.

it has been my expierene that cooking potency is decided by the heat you use, not the duration of cooking time.

as far as i know, it dosent make a difference if you cook for 15 minutes or for 15 hours. as long as the heat is pretty high.

when i say pretty high.... i mean enough to make the oil pop and sizzle. when you see the plant material turn red, then brown, you have cokked it enough.

i swear ive cooked with weed which emitted red resins alomst like blood!!!! it was awesome.

that was crazy shit. and it happenmed becuase i used high heat.

ive even used heat so high that the weed turned black.

and it was crazy. i got high as hell.

alright.... to the guy who asked about the hash oil, im with you o nthe chemicle aspect of it. its logical to assume that if you use a chemicle to speerate the thc from the weed, some of that chemicle will remain.

thats why i use everclear. people can drink white lightneing, aka, everclear.

so if they can drink it... its safer to use then things which are not edible. at least as far asi know.

thats why i use it. try drinking nailpolish remover or isopropyl alcohol. you can do it.... but it causes sever gastrointesitnal disturbances.

you can drink everclear with no bad effects except being drunk. white lightening is awesome.

its perfect. it really is. perfectly refined grain alcohol.

from grain.

its the safest.

pride of cucamonga-

the easiest thing to do is hash oil. its simple.

the brownie idea is good...... but you dont even need to use all that you have on one batch of brownies. you really dont.

you can make brownies and some kind of hash, and still have stuff leftover. anyway, best wishes!

thanks for the info. I made a batch of chocolate cookies last night, with decent results. Used 10 grams of clippings (and two scoops of kief for good measure.) made about 18 cookies, ate four of them and got really high. I ate them around 9 and started feeling them 30 mins later, gave me a nice body high and chills down my spine reminiscent of lsd. Woke up the next day around 1pm still high. My friend ate two and was really high. Another one of my friends ate four of them and got so high it looked like his eyes were bleeding.

I cooked the clippings in clarified butter with a double boiler on low heat for 2 hours, then raised the heat for 30 mins causing the weed to brown and almost blacken. i think i might have over cooked it a bit (there was a burn smell to the leftover weed.)

now we are cooking with heat! so to speak. :)

yes my friend. you did it right.

lol... i had to laugh when i read the thing about your friends eyes. ive looked in the mirror and seen that very same thing.

good moves dude. im glad you chose to go with high heat.

i would like to share something with you that ive found.

like..... if the weed is still mostly green when you cook with it, you will get a different high then the same weed cooked more thoroughly.


in other words....what i found is that medium to high heat is crucial, but the point you stop heating affects the type of high you get.

when you burn the weed black like you said..... which is what i usually do : ), i think you release more indica type thc.

but with not too much heat.... but enogh to release it.... you get the up high. this is what ive found. you need at least some of the stems to turn brown.

also....nice comparison to acid. it just like that, man. it really is. thats why i cant comprehend people who come on here and say they dont feel it when they eat it.

dont feel it? im thinking about going to the hospital sometimes. : )

lol.

tell me that. did any of you guys think hospital? i did when i ate too much.

and it does stay with you for like a day.

its way different from smoking. alot of fun.

im glad someone else found out about high heat.

peace!!

It seemed to work well, but i always thought that really high temperatures start to destroy thc. I noticed there was a point where the strong weed ordor stopped, and that way way before it started blackening. Next time i am going to use the same amount and not cook it so much, i will let you guys know what happens.

cucamonga-

as far as i know...... the heat does not destroy the thc. in causes it to be released from the plant.

so if you add heat to the plant.... even high heat, and you have something to transfer to right there.... like the weed is already in cooking oil....

your thc releases right into the fatty oil! thats why i think high heat is the best.

you heat the fuck out of the weed, even burning it like you say.... so its a massive release.... but the trick is, you have your transfer medium right there in physical contact with the weed as the thc gets released.

i dont think you loose any, as long as the transfer medium is right there in close physical proximity to the weed as its heated.

maybe you loose a little to the air..... but, is it better to loose some to the air, transfering most thc, or to not even have any transfer at all?

:)

what i found is that no transfer ever takes place without the weed turning brown in the pan at least.
