Bubble bags locally OR cheaper hash methods?!?!

[funkfingers]

If you don't have time to make the bubble the day you have fresh trim it works really well to freeze your fresh trim... fresh trim+good sweet leaf trim=full melt bubbly goodness..

Hey guys... just wanted to update. Looks like these Sprung bags are really nice quality...

Sprung Bags, Multi-Purpose Filter Bags

I'd heard some bad things about the Wacky bags and Ebay bags, primarily related to the stitching as mentioned above. These were only $80 for a 5gal, 5-bag set (220, 160, 110, 73, 25).

So I had a couple questions I was hoping someone could help me with.

-Can you keep the trim frozen indefinitely without quality loss? Do you have to use it within a certain time period of freezing? Was just curious because with a staggered harvest, some trim might sit in the freezer for 2 weeks until the last plant is harvested?

-If using fresh, frozen popcorn buds should you cut them up before making bubble? Seems like this might be a good idea to expose greater surface area and make trich extraction easier... what do you think?

I guess that's pretty much it. I was also wondering what you guys think of doing separate runs for each unique strain... I'd like to do this, but if you have only 1-2 plants of each strain you'd probably need to combine them all together to get a respectable yield. However, I was thinking it might be a good idea to at least separate out indica-heavy plants VS. sativa-heavy plants to at least maybe get a qualitative difference in your two different hash runs....:rastasmoke:

As per the question about different runs for different yields...If you have a small enough bubble bag (1 gallon) you could probably get away with using only amounts of trim, but you might need more than 1-2 plants worth. To give you an idea, my 5 gallon was used to make hash from an 18 plant harvest. I believe it was 2 freezer bags completely full, and I could have probably used 2 or 3 times that much.

I was thinking of selling my 5 ga. bag for around $125 . Its seen some use, but still works like a charm.

FILTERBAG.com

They have 35, 55, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, and 800 micron bags for around $70 or so

Made to fit a five gallon bucket.

----------------

These another company that makes great bags, cheaper than Bubblebags, better made, but not as cheap as above. I just can't remember the name right now.

I remember!
Payload Bags

Though it looks like the price has gone up.
Much better bags than anything else out there. IMHO

Well, got my Sprung bags the other day and I was disappointed to see a big "Made in China" sticker on them. I thought they were made in US, but oh well, they seemed to have done the trick...

I was pretty disappointed with yield... in fact as I was scraping the bags I was pissed. But after it dried up and I realized how good it was I was a little less upset. I had basically a shoebox full of fresh, frozen trim... seemed like a lot but when considering it was never dried it was probably less than an oz (28g) for sure... probably closer to 10-15g. Anyone ended up getting about 1g off of the 73u bag that is NICE! I don't have enough experience to say whether it's full melt or not, but it seems close... definitely semi-melt. It seems to all bubble and melt, but then it dried back up. This shit bubbles for 5+ seconds after you pull the lighter away!! Has the consistency and appearance almost of a Brachs caramel...

Anyway the Sprung bags seem pretty good. I beat the shit out of them mixing and they held up well. Time will tell:rasta::rastasmoke:.... Bags used were 220, 110, 73, 25

220 - Trash
110 - OK bubble, but not melt (~0.25g)
73 - Bubbly, tasty, melty nice stuff (~1g)
25 - Slightly green-tinted hash, not sampled yet, probably use for cooking (~0.25g)

I used about twice as much trim as you and yielded 4 grams dry of 73u. Depends on how frosty the trim is, I suppose.
