Calling out to DreadedHermie for a game of "stoner chess"

[DreadedHermie]

Yeah, I'm fine.

Trying to tie up some loose ends. Fittin' to get busy again. Stressing about that a bit, I guess--nothing serious.

Play again?

[Weezard]

Yes, thanks!
Thought you'd nevah ask.

Meanwhile.
The last BH run was excellent.

4.1G. from 40G of sugar leaf.;
[attachment=o232711]
Yee ha! Personal best.
No "green", no tar, no dirt. no dog hair.
Just;
[attachment=o232709].

At 400x I found a single amber trichome.
Which I offer to Rusty's wife as a get well card.;
[attachment=o232710]


When I 'scoped the tailings, I saw inner folds still crusted with occupied trichs. ;
[attachment=o232712]
Then there's the surface, and internal thc, so I threw the bolus, still chilled, into a saucepan full of water and butter.

Simmered for 2 hours, then strained and skimmed.
Will make p-nut budder cookies with the butter.
My last batch was a hit.
Can't quantify the budder yeild , but any buzz left after a >10% hash yeild is pure gravy to me.

I is bubbled to da gills.:stoned:

You take da first move brah.

A happy, wee, tiny, 'zard:smokin:

P-K4

No dog hair?

Once I discovered a whole buncha red pistils on the floor of the flower closet, which I generally keep spotlessly clean. I had a slow-finishing sativa under a hot HPS and figgered they just kinda fell out overnight, so I swept them up into a little pile and crammed them greedily into my little brass pipe.

Just as I was wolfing down an enormous hit, I heard my little brown special-needs doggie let out a contented groan. She had backed up to the 6" intake vents on the other side of the wall, and was letting the suction give her a nice grooming/massage.

That was some harsh smoke.

Cookies are prolly better.

I'd think the chewy ones would clog yer screen.:rastasmoke:

Hey Weezard,

OK, so what is your collection method oh mighty sage of the trichome?

Thanks Mac!

Not steady at all, but persistent.
Good ol' "dig it all" cameras:thumbsup:
Take a hundred shots throw 98 away, yah?

Bubba hash tips

Tip 1.
Is all about proper drying and curing of the sugar n popcorn before the deep freeze.
I dry well, then jar for a month, then deep freeze.
Basically, treat it like good bud.

If it's still green when ya freeze it, the end product suffers from black and green tars.
If the leaf is too fresh, the hash never dries.
Tastes nasty too.

Tip 2.
It's good to wait until the water is very cold before adding the frozen leaf if you want max yeild.
Trichs warm up real fast 'roun' here so I leave it in da freezer until the water's properly chilled.

Tip 3.
Recirculate.
I put the coarse bag in an insulated bucket with a drain hole.

Hermie uses a cooler.
Which is er.

When I start the top bucket/cooler, I add extra water and wait about an hour for it all to chill.
I put it up on the table so it can use gravity to drain it into the lower bucket with the rest of the bubble bags in it.
To recirculate the ice water to keep up with melting ice and to wash down the sides of the coarse bag, I use a cheapie pond pump in a bottom of the second bucket.
That water is filtered by the bags so the pump sees very clean, cold, water which it pumps to the top bucket.
That lets you control exactly how "mushy" the ice is.
And that, is the key to higher yield.
Too dry, can't stir!
Too watery, not enough "bumping" to knock off the resin globs.
[attachment=o232768]

Tip 4.
Hand mush!
It's not that hard when the mix is right.
I used a blender once. Very bad Idea.
Chopped the leaf into itsy bits which went through the coarse screen. Feh!
Then I tried an ice cream maker. :rastasmoke:
Too gentle. Low yield.
A large paddle or spoon and a just right ice/water ratio has made the whole process easy, productive and rewarding for me.
Yours can be driven by Tonto power.

That's what I got, so far.
Can't wait to see you finesse it to a science.

Topic?
Oh yeah!
Um on-topic...?

Tip 5.
When most of the water is squoze out of the hash.
Wrap it in saran and put it in the heel of your shoe.
Then take a hike.
That turns Lebanese blonde into Afghany slab.
At least cosmetically.
Then take one good hit, and play some chess.

See, on-topic!

Aloha

Thanks a bunch Weezard.:thumbsup:

Excellent tips and tutorial.
I've been doing something much different, drying the trimmings (a couple of days) then freezing the trim and putting it in a paint strainer bag. Then manually shaking it over a glass table, and collecting the kief, or trichomes.
Scarp it up and toke or vape. Or we put 7gm of keif between 2 quarters and squeeeeze in the hydralic press....blonde quarters. (the state quarters have been a kick, collecting and pressing)

I had plans to build a brass screen trommel (rotating drum) to do this, but maybe I should consider the water/ice idea...I think I saw plans to convert a washing machine....and I have one of those...

tanks again -oldmac

Oh back to topic, chess?, please carry on.

Dr. Hermie
Thanks again for the tip on the stones��much more consistent than the ones I had.
