hey, i just had a thought, you know how salvia is extracted and made stronger? is it possible to do that with weed? i thought maybe like through the cooking method there would be a way of making it more potent

hmmm...no chowder can i get a more detailed summary of the process?

To press kif into hash, all it requires is some major pressure, and heat (optional). Heat is not needed in my opinion if you press it hard enough.
When I press some hash, I usually scrape it from my electric buster. I usually bust about an ounce or so in there before I clean it. I get a nice pile, about 2grams worth over time, and this is what I do.
I take a small baggy, like a dime sack sized bag, or just any bag will do. I put the kif in there, and press it all into the bottom of the bag. If you have a bigger standard size baggie, press it in the corner of the baggie really, really tight, and fold up into small, rectangular, tight package.
To sum up that in simple words, just corner the kif really tight in a plastic bag, pref. a small baggie as it is small amounts.
I then fold up the plastic until all the kif is in a nice, solid rectangular shape, then, the fun part. It may seem silly, but I get nice shit doing this. I take a sledgehammer<--not a typo :D, and I lightly beat the folded up kif/plastic bag down on the floor. I hammer each side of the plastic bag about 3 times each, increasing the pressure of the blows.
If you pick it up right away, you can feel the heat. I do it on a concreate floor and the friction from the metal of the hammer, and the concreate, heats up the kif inside of the bag. Using a hammer on a solid floor is hardcore pressure too.
I then cut open the plastic bag and there is a nice, flat, slab of hash.
I've done this 3 times now using a sledgehammer, and everytime I get a nice, solid, non-flakey, chewy pice of hash.
I used to do it just pressing down with a block of wood on the floor, but it was never enough pressure, and I never wanted to heat it up in the oven because I was afriad I'd vape it all.
Anyways, sounds weird, but it really works, suprisingly. I just had a pile of kif one night and it is so powdery and sticky to carry around, so I figured, hmmm...pressure, friction=heat, sledgehammer, and it was born, "Sledgehammer Hash" :D
sounds crazy :p
keif is just powder...u get it to stay together like hash by hitting it with a sledgehammer? lol if u apply pressure to the pressured keif will it break into peices?
how much is a pollen press?
how much bud do you need to make enough kif inorder to made a dimebag sludgehammer hash???
i made keif before from my spare stems..i had about a 1/4 of stems and got about 3gs of keif from them...the rest was all pulp and plant matter...never used bud before though so i dunno
You can do the frozen blender
thats how u get keif...u gotta compact the keif and then bake it to make hash
ya its something like that...
i buy bags of kief and cook it down in alcohol to make some kind of sticky thc substance...check out recipes for hempka
also, fengzi wrote a thread about using a powder press and grinder under recreational.
if you look under recreational, the thread entitled: rolling, a tutorial...you will see a big bag of kief :smokin:
Yes, kif is just powder, but it is really, really sticky if you rub your fingers in it, so yes, I beat it with a sledgehammer, inside of a plastic bag, so it compacts together. You put the kif inside of a plastic bag, and you fold up that plastic bag so all the kif is compacted into the bottom, or corner of the bag, then you hit the plastic bag that the kif is in, into a flat slab.Quote:

That's all hash is, is kif pressed under mass amounts of pressure, and a hammer does that, but of course you have to put the kif in a plastic bag, but you compress it all into the corner of the bag, then fold you the plastic bag so that it is really tight, then you pound with a hammer.
You may not believe it, but the hash comes out soft and bendy. It doesn't crumble and fall apart.
I guess you just have to try it out for yourself in order to understand.

If you do it like i did where I just collect the kif after busting up some greens in a grinder, than like I said, I usually bust up an ounce to get a 1gram slab of hash, which is only about 1/3 full of a dimebag.
Doing this method does create heat though, and the has doesn't come out dark brown. It comes out blonde, which is a different method of pressing, using little to no heat.
The kif is sticky if you touch it, so obviously pressing mass amounts of sticky trichs will create a soft, gum like hash. It's just common sense, you know.
hmm i thought u had to bake the keif to make it into hash...
That's one way of doing it, yes. Using mostly heat, instead of pressure.Quote:

They're both pressed, just one is done differently that the other. There is several ways to press hash, one just uses heat instead of pressure, and the other one is just the opposite.
Sounds like a good way to take out your anger in a productive way!
"Dude, you stepped on my foot and broke a toe! I'm so pissed off I'm gonna...go smack some kief with a sledgehammer!"
I think the final consistency of the hashish is going to depend on the quality of the kief used.Quote:

On the other hand, if I buy the more expensive stuff it generally has more of a sticky consistency so I would agree with what you are saying.
However, I think the best way to make hash is to make bubble hash.
Either way, just buy the good black shit from Indians and Pakistanis. It's not that difficult. :smokin:
One way that I have used to press hash out here is taking a good amount of kief and putting it in the corner of a new sock or some kind of similiar material.Quote:

After it is exposed to heat, I smash the hell out of the ball with anything heavy I can find. I mean really heavy. Like lift up a corner of your bed or a table and sit on the corner for a few minutes.
Then I let it sit there for a couple hours. And VOILA! a medallion of blond hash. :smokin:
