[Snoop429]

Mornin Snoop....you up yet brotha?

Howdy Duggan, thats funny. I think first round of S.C went well. Just gave the group round 2 but higher up this time. I cracked one of the mains but just a little bit. Good lesson/reminder. Go slow and be gentle. Looks like Im early for class. I got some bags a while back, just need to get some trim.

Wow...lots of pics...is there a limit.? I prolly should have just video'd it but not sure i could have cuz once ya get going at it....you need all three hands ,if ya know what i mean.
OK ,then Gang....first a few things....i'm no teacher,and i can't spell worth crap ....so have mercy,K. This will take me a while...i've got an hour...GF's. comin over at 6:30 , so....
The nice thing about bubblehash is , for people like us weed snobs ,we can really appreciate it for what it is. Good quality BH ,if you look at it under a scope will appear to be alot of tiny bubbles all stuck together,not unlike a bubblebath looks.There should be very little to no contaminants in it...hence "full melt". When this stuff from today dries out ,over two days or so,that's all it takes. It doesn't break up like the stuff we were used to back in the day . When you apply just a little bit of heat to nice bubble...it goes all soft and it actually starts to turn into a liquid.
When it comes off the bags it appears to be a little greennish....that's only chloraphil that will evap. off over the first 6 hrs or so.This stuff is already looking a honey brown colour. I'l try and talk a little for each pic....there's so many and i'm bagged!Here goes Gang.

These bags are bubbleman's...Mark's first 8 bag,5 gal. set. They have between 200 and 300 cycles thru them...lost count after about 180 or so. Notice i only use 5 of the 8. I just don't need that many "grades" of hash. That's why on the cardboard the numbers are 160/120....90/73....and 45/25. I don't bother with the160,90,or 45 micron bags. All they're heads will just get cought in the next smaller size....so i only have 3 grades to keep separate. Less work too.The lil mini washer came out before bubbleman's machine's that's why it's called the Sweet Bubblelator and the bubbleman's is called...the Bubblenow....get it?
Wonder what went on there eh>>> anyhow the thing has worked great from the start. Before the machine i used a cut off broom handle and just mixed by hand right in the pot.

The one pot,the green one Is lined ,starting with the smallest size bag, the 25.The next ones are in this order...73,120,190,220. The little pc. of 25,the purple one is for draining the water from the chunks when they come right out off the bags.It sits on some paper towels or something to absorb the excess water quick. After it sits there a few minutes the separate grades are put on cardboard and cut up into little pcs. to help it dry .

These show how i layer ice and produce in the inner bag...the one that goes into the washer.8 bags of ice went into this session today...it's a must to have more than enough ice. If you don't ...it just won't work. The way it works and what happens is this....the gland heads on the stalked (mostly) trichomes are the heaviest thing in the mix ,and they don't float. The heads are very stiff when cold and are able to be broken off the stalk...they then sink ....down thru the different sized screens on the bottom of each bag.That's why you have to be carefull to do this properly...there is no room for error . After each bag is cleaned of it's goodness, it's also very important to rince and clean (inside out) right away under very cold water....only cold. If anyone has ever made the mistake of using warm water for this ....they know what happens to the resin.NOT GOOD Always think cold ,always, when working with ice/water hash.Heat is trouble,period. I should prolly add that if you have a friend ...get him or her to help ,cuz it makes it ALOT easier.This washer has a timer that goes up to a max. of 15 min's. I only mix for 3/4 min's. I get way better quality that way every time. It's also important to have enough water in the machine to let it actually work like one too,not just all ice.

As the bags are pulled ,if they are a collection bag , i drain them and put them inside a smaller pot and stretch the bottom up so it's like a drum skin...then the resin is scooped up with a spoon while holding the tension tight....makes it easy to scoop with a normal tea spoon.Put the resin on the pc. of 25 and it drains a bit then gets moved to the cardboard to get cut up and further dried out for two days. Tomorrow i'l be able to puff this in my lil twin bubblelater , water pipe.

After this dries i can pick up a pc. and in no time it gets gooey. It really is fantastic stuff. Pure and clean...no solvents. no heat , no EXPLOSIONS ,just pure joy....What did i miss??...prolly lots but gotta go get cleaned up now. I really hope ya all liked my very first teaching session. If anyone has questions fire away and i'l get back by the mornin. Cheers Gang.......Duggs.

badass dude, seriously.

 

[NematodeNate]

Excellent lesson......so is the 45/25 the cleanest or the "purist"? And you say you only wash for 3/4 of a minute.......45sec?

Thanks duggs,

 

[DrZiggy]

Awesome Duggan!! great job!!

Hey Nate....no not 45sec's. 3-4 minutes. Thanks btw....it took all day pretty much. Cheers.

 

[Duggan]

Oh Nate ...forgot this Q....sorry...No the best usually ,meaning the full melting stuff comes from the 90/73 bag.The 160/120 bag are bigger heads,with a totally different cannabinoid profile. The 45/25 bag stuff has a tendancy to start on fire when you go to light it. It has alot of the volitile turpines ,i suppose. different sized heads are different in alot of aspects. I like it all. Don't need to puff much of it ,and i can do it in the house cuz there's no plant matter in it ,so it doesn't reek as much. The smoke seems to dissapate alot quicker as well. Cheers eh.

 

[Major PITA]

Awesome!
+ reps to ya.
How much trim did you start with, and what do you think the yield will be?

 

[SweetSue]

See? You did that wonderfully Duggan. Now that you got your toes wet you'll have to explore this method of teaching again.

I'll blog this for future reference. Thank you.

duggan..im 173-175 5'9" I lose weight when i use my herb regularly..
I give most (90%) of my weed and products away to people I know that need it. I never take money for it.
i keep a small stash for myself and for my friends when they visit.

Hey Ziggs...we're pretty close...i'm 6ft....175lbs.
Your'e in a good situation ..and are fortunate to have that choice. I don't grow for profit iether Ziggs....just so i won't have to buy some unknown street crap. I'm spoiled rotten now anyhow....don't know what id'e do without good HB produce. Have a great night pal....the GF just left a few min's. ago ,i'm so bagged ....what a day. Cheers eh.

Major...thanks a bunch pal...i don't really weigh the trim before i start and rarely do i weigh the hash either. I started out with about 5 small grocery bags ...did 5 runs thru the bags. Got plenty of top quality hash....just for a few friends to try .

Don't know how I am not subscribed yet... Nice journal bro. You will kill it again Duggan!

 

[Duggan]

Mornin Sep...thanks for stoppin by eh. Hoped everyone got to see the Bubblehash tut yesterday.I've got a bunch of it on my Din.rm. table ....nice....looks like the 73 is full melting and the rest is close but leaves just a little ash...i'm very happy so far.I played with the 73 for a bit this mornin and it's nice and gooey when you hold it a min. or so....I LIKE! Not sure on the totals but i never care about yield when i do bubblehash anyhow....it's ALL about quality, that's why i only mix it for a few minutes, just 3-4 min's. that's it.....that's how you get the quality. Sure ,i could get three times the yield if i let the washer beat the crap out of it for 10-15 min's. but it wouldn't be "full melt"....not even close. I'm gonna put up a few pics later today of the finished product and a few pics of the Desfrans as well,which are taking over my house....well, not really but i can see a big challenge coming my way when i flip em. They're soooo lanky and leggy...real delicate looking and all. They almost appear dangerous ...if ya know what i mean! Cheers Gang.....what a great day!
