HELP!!! How do I make hash???

[Pot_Duster]

Making hash out of keef is a waste of energy! Just smoke the stuff as it is! Compressing keef into hash only having to heat it and crumble it back into its powdery state to smoke it, is much like a dog chasing his own tail. The more that you fool around with keef, the more it will loose its potentcy.

FURTHER ---I wouldnt think scientifically or commen scence wise that UNEVEN pressure would make hash ----like hammering around it ----maybe hammering straight down into a shaft ..or something----
now i kinda question your KNOWLEDGE nochowderforu___!!!
remember you need atleast 10 grams of keif to make 1 gram of hash

I've done it plenty of times and works just fine for me. I don't know where you got 10grams of kif = 1gram of hash. I weigh my kif before I press it, and it comes to the same weight as it was kif. Maybe 10grams of busted buds=1 gram of hash, but hash is just pressed kif. It doesn't lose weight. Where would that weight go? It doesn't just dissapear, you know.

Pressure + kif=hash. It doesn;t have to even pressure at all. All I know is that it takes me only 2 bong rips from my hash to get me high, so I must be doing something right.

yea thats acually something in my high times about the 10 gram makes 1 gram '''''i didnt understand it either---but yea hash is harder to smoke than keif so just smoke it -----fuck --

The only reason I press the hash is kif is just too powdery and sticky. I find it much easier to handle when pressed, that's just me though. I do agree though, it does lose potency everytime you handle it, but not so much where it bothers me.

That's strange that High Times would print that because it is misleading. I mean, maybe you lose a little weight, like .1 or .2 or something. Maybe it was a misprint seeing as that 10grams of busted up grass should create 1 gram of kif, that makes more sense. Also saying that with every strain of cannabis is false as well. Some strains carry more trichs thus making more hash/kif.

Who knows though, but all I was saying is that pressing it the way I explained works just fine for me. I've done it about 4 times now and I'm happy about it.

You can press it anyways you want to really, you just need heavy, very heavy pressure, and heat to if you want, but heat isn't really needed.

i wrap my kif in pice of a plastic bag and make it into a ball and then wrap rubber bands around it very tightly and wrap about 5 rubber bands around it and throw it around and play around with it for half a day or so and it comes out as a very hard rock that is difficult to cut with a knife. Its fun thats why i do it, probably the same reason a dog chases his tail.

Nice thread Nochowder. I did a similar one ( http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=77499) a while back but mine was using a press.

Just wondering Marek, why don't you just get a press? You can get one off of ebay for like $5

Excellent work! I love it!
I have a couple of plastic-lined small metal containers 3/4" X 2" and as I collect in each container I tamp down and compress lightly towards the back, but its always close to being powder though. I find indica strains yield the most kiff from buds. I use the different containers to save different styles of kiff; one for sativas, one for indicas and one reserved for special occations (the xtra yummy super potent goods that I only find once in a bluemoon). On average I harvest almost 10% by weight of kiff from my buds.
