Don't bother making hash out of buds, you'll be wasting major smoke. To get the best out of your buds the way to do it, is to smoke it. Making hash, out of, lets say a 2gram bud, you'll get maybe .2 of a gram of hash.

After my last harvest, I had saved up 100grams of potent, cystal laden trimmings...I got about 11g's of good hash from it, but you can see where that huge difference is.

Make hash out of shitty buds, moldy buds, or trimmings. Making hash out of quality buds and you'll be wasting that smoke.
