Third Grow

The gumby method is where you put the trimmings in a bucket of water with a bunch of ice and mix it with a mixer for 30-45 minutes while making sure it stays really cold. Then you skim the trimmings and everything out and then pour it through a filter of some kind to get all the leaves out. This leaves you with the bucket of water with hash in it. Then you let that bucket sit for 3-4 hrs so the trichs fall to the bottom and then siphon out the water until you can see the hash in the bottom. I use a piece of old hose to get the majority of the waterout and then switch to aquarium tubing when I get closer to the hash so there's not so much water to deal with. Then you pour the rest of the water/hash mixture through coffee filters (I set mine in a small colander sitting inside a big colander) to collect the hash.

Its basically the bubble bag method without the bubble bags, so its not quite as pure but its still plenty good! If you search gumby hash on here you should find a detailed video. Its pretty easy and only takes a couple hours aside from the waiting time.

What do you do with your trimmings usually, Weedhound?

Well wish me luck.........we are going to try this Deja; thanks for the idea. I usually use the stuff to make cookies with but wanted to try some simple hash making and this sounds easy enough that even I could do it.

Well, the totals are in. 4.75 oz (up .5 oz from last time), 2 grams of hash, and 6 oz of tincture from 9 plants. Overall I am pretty pleased but I am definitely looking forward to fewer but larger plants so they can get really beastly! :thumbsup:

My clones just started showing roots a couple days ago so I planted them in my system. Unfortunately, the bin smells like bleach which makes me think I didn't rinse everything well enough. I used a 10:1 dilution to clean everything and then ran it under hot hot hot water for about 5 minutes so hopefully its just really clean and smells like bleach and there's not actually bleach in my system. My plants have been in it for 2 days now and they look alright so hopefully they don't die. If they do, my mother is getting HUGE in her bucket so I have plenty of clippings if I need them.

You'd have seen something by now if you were going to. You can always buy some fish "dechlorinator" and put that in when you rinse......that'll GUARANTEE to get rid of any chlorine bleach that might be left behind.

Deja check out my thread.....I bought some flexible air diffusers like Rhizome recommended and THEY ROCK! Get yourself a good pump and they will KICK ASS!

Just bought a hand mixer yesterday.....wish me luck with the gumby hash.
