Makeing Bubble for the 420...

...with the seven bag, 20 gallon set of bubblebags

i'm no expert but i have done a few runns, so let me share how i get my bounty from bubblemans fantastic bubblebags. if this run turns out any good and i get more then 7.5 g of the 1st 73u run, i'll try and enter it for the 420 cup.

this time i used fresh frozen trim and tinny budlets, i wanted to be sure to have enough ice, hence...



l

as you can see i realy wanted to be sure to have enough ice, lol.

on the next pic you see me trying to implement a trick i read from PerhapsYourGuidyAunt on OG. those of you who know his FMCD pics will understand why i did this. his tip was to cable tie a plastic spoon to an ultrasonic toothbrush and use that to mix with. heres the tothbrush and a masage extension i wanted to use what say you PYGA, would that do the job?



now we come to the raw product lol. this is the trim from a 4 lamp grow. one of the blocks is tightly pressed so it fit in the freezer draw. as you can see its top quality, no rubish or stalks.





here we have the ice, it takes the place of solvent haha. what a great way to make hash, just ice and water. you might think how the hell is he gonna get that huge block of ice out of that draw without breaking it? it took some time, but was well worth it, its the most ice you can make in that space. i'll be doing it again this way next time.

looks great so far!! can't wait to see the results after mixing. Is the toothbrush supposed to break the trichomes off with the ultrasonic waves? just curious, i've always used a drill with a mixing bit thingy :joint:

Hello jbarsk8

looks great so far!! can't wait to see the results after mixing. Is the toothbrush supposed to break the trichomes off with the ultrasonic waves? just curious, i've always used a drill with a mixing bit thingy

thanks man, glad you like it. i have always used a normal cake mixer, but i was told to try it with the ultrasonic toothbrush by a guy who makes the most amazing full melt cleardome bubblehash, so i wanted to try it. i supose the ultrasonic vibrations are supsed to do the trick. but its an experiment that i didn't finish in the end, so i'll have to wait till next time to try it with a fully loaded tothbrush lol. thanks for looking in, come back soon now...lol

right... we now have a 100 lt bucket with all seven bags in it starting with the 25u,45u,73u,120u,160u,190u and last the blue working bag which is 220u. thats the bag which has the trim and ice in it. as you will see the water is so thick with ice block that i'm haveing a hard time mixing with that tinny toothbrush.







after a few minutes the battery was empty so i had to go to the normal mixer. which is a great pitty as i really wanted to see how the first run would be useing only the ultra sonic toothbrush. in the end i did a 12 minute mix with the mixer ontop of 3 minutes with the toothbrush.







after the mixing i left the whole thing to stand for about 45 minutes, enough time to enjoy a nice smoke and a cupa. when i got back and pulled the first bag, i was mildly suprised, by the amount and color of the 190u, the 160u looked even more interesting. you can clearly see the bigger grains in these two sizes as well as a few impurities that found their way in.





i'll get to the 120u in a bit, stay tuned....

now its time to pull the 120u bag, this bag is a newer addition to the set and i must say it always collects some of the best hash. you can see i use a squezy thing to get rid of the bubbles and also to centre the hash on the screen.





then i scoop it into the 73u pressing screen. i don't press it hard at all as it still needs drying and will need to be crumbled. but i do press it enough so there is no more water dripping out. as there is no 120u pressing screen i have to use the 73u. here before the pressing screen...



and here we go after the pressing screen. looks nice hey? it smells fabulous i tell you.





the rest of the pics will be up in a while, i got to take a break...

peace out

if you can, let me know how much you got different grades.nice work. i'll be making some bubble to take to 420 as well. see you there.

and the bubble must go on....

and the bubble must go on....

...or something like that anyway.

Greetings Amd

i can let you know what i got weight wise just as soon as its dry enough to be packed up and weighed. but i'll show you what i got first. its cool that you'll be bringing some bubble along to the 420, i look forward to partying together. the first tests looked promising...

its time for the all time favourit bag, the 73u is always good for a suprise, mostly two suprises quality and quantity, lol. if your gonna get nice melty hash it will likely be from this bag.







its very convinient to have a water sprayer around to get rid of the air bubbles and to centre the hash....







again i gently press the spare water out, i'm in no hurry so i just give it a squeeze by hand inside the pressing screen. i just love this system, you could actualy do a bong hit at this point, it will be a bit steamy and fresh but you could...



finaly we have some results...



as one can see the 73u is the smile bag, but the 120u is very good quality too, but one seems to get less of it. there again trichome size, fresh or dry trim, legnth of mixing etc will all have an influence on which bag is the magic bag. i have yet to do a bubble session with dried trim, but i have heard that old dry trim will colect better hash in the smaller bags, ie 45u and 25u, i'll be experimenting with dry trim next. meanwhile before i go more off track. we come to the 45u bag, this one can yield well both quality and quantity, but with fresh frozen trim its slightly less interesting although still quite flavourfull....





again the spray gets rid of all those air bubbles, leaving you with a fine trichome substance lol. the colors will change as it drys.

ok its late , i'm gonna continue with the 45 results and pulling the 25 for tomorrow.

peace

Hello POd

the 190 and the 160 still look sludgy because they are not pressed in the pressing screens. but those two sizes are there to clean the 120 and 73. so they will never look as good as the 73 etc. i'll have to take some mre pics because now its all dry the colors have changed. but first here is the end of the first run



above you see the pressed 45u









thats the 25u bag, as you can see there are loads of bubbles. this bag takes ages to drain and i nearly did my back in lifting it out to start the water draining, but then to have to jerk it up and down t make it drain was too much. i have to build a tap into the bottm of my bucket. the 25u is very slimy, probably only trichome stalks and no heads in that. it will still get you stoned no problem but its just never as tastey as the middle bags are.





time for a family pic of all the sizes together







end of the first run, i did a second run too and i'll show you how worth while it was in the next lot of pics.

peace out

Hi Babbabud

wow man thats a great pic, i love the way you can see some smoke trapped inside the dome. i hope to do some melty pics too. i can only hope it will melt and bubble, but if it should make a dome like tha i'll be over the moon. i've seen my bubble melt and make loads of small bubbles, but never a clear dome like that...

thanks for shareing

Im so jealous of everyones hash... I havent had any in like 6 months so tonight i broke up about 3 grams of buds got a little jar and a t-shirt and made myself about a gram of unpressed keif. But them was some nice buds, and they STILL got plenty of tricomes on them.

Im sure that bubble is better than this stuff tho! :bat:

Hi again POd

i know in some places hash is pretty scarce, all the more reason to make your own with the leftovers. specialy quality hash is difficult to get hold of unless you make it or know someone who does.

so you made some of your own hash hey? right on man! if you still have some how about a pic?

anyway...it be time to pop up the last few pics of the second run, then its time for some melt shots.



alot more air bubbles this time round as you can see.... i woun't bother with every bag for the second run, only the interesting ones...





here the results of the secund run, as you can see i got a real nice amount of 73u even the second go 'round.







okidoki, that was enough for me, some folks might have gone on and done a third run, but i find the trouble is not worth it. next up i want to show you some melting shots.

gaius u sneaky d00d what a super impromptu tutorial! bubble bubble bubble! that was just awesome man...how could i miss the 420 now that i've seen the goods? hehe...how much is required for entry? i won't have any buds ready for entering but i still would like to go...i think u and i and outkastt and yoshi should go in together and get the 3 different judge passes so we can see the variety...i would like to sample all the cup entries but couldn't smoke all three categories by myself lol...

Hey PhatDadyNugzYo

so nice to see you here man, how do you like my new avatar? check it out in full size...

4186melt1t-med.jpg


this is the first time my bubble actualy makes those nice domes, i'm very happy with the results. you only need to enter 7.5 g of hash. i don't know if i have enough of the 73u to enter but i could well. if not i might mix the 120 in with it, that should do the trick. i need to have some left over to smoke myself too, lol.

i totaly agree about the cup, we should get together to be able to taste all the entries, i have a sativa pass for myself and an indica pass for a good m8 whos comeing along. i'm hopeing to be able to taste the hash entries from other judges. i really hope you can make it. if you have a judges pass you don't need to spend hardly any money on weed. and you can eat cheap if you get stuff at the supermarkets.

good to hear from you bro, peace out

sounds good man. if i get the hash judge pass then we should be all set...u will be happy to kno i dumped my office slave job, corporate manager types make me wanna puke! i have a couple of other options that i think will be better and after i get another job i will make all my final arrangements...i'm thinking like 2-3 weeks...i am planning on staying in the apartment with outkastt and yoshi and them, are u planning to as well? i will prolly stick to the supermarket during the day but the food over there is such a welcome change of pace from what i'm used to that i like to get out for dinner...i've been vaping almost exclusively for the last few weeks and i really prefer it, i've been using this heat gun setup which is pretty much a homemade volcano for about $325 less than normal...i'll try to get some pics up of it...neway i'm off to run some errands but congratulations on that phatty dank bubble u got, i'm sure it will be even better after sitting about for 3 months!

haha no pics, this camera is to shitty for closeup budshotz and i dont think anyone cares what i look like taking a bong rip. Topped off bolz of the TW cross with NL kief. Very pretty.

As for the kief, that topped off 3 seperate rips. I took them consecutivly and was seriously ripped for about 5 hours till i passed out and woke up feelin real nice.
