Entire Harvest 2 Hash

[ft100]

I think I will harvest about 6 ounces of buds and around 4 ounces of popcorn and sugar leaf. The strain is Nirvana Bubblicious. I am thinking about running this all through my bubbleator. I have 7 different bags to catch the trichomes in. What is the approximate yield of hash with this much bud and trim. I am thinking about this because I am moving and it would be a lot easier moving a little block of hash verses 6 ounces of bud. Any help on yield in hash would be great fellas. I am just afraid of losing trichomes. Any ideas or steps I should follow to get the most out of this harvest are appreciated. Should I run the material twice through the bubbleator and bags? Help.

always run thru ~atleast~ twice... but you might want to keep
the first run seperate afterwards
(always the better smoke)

I reckon 33g or so ..... about 20% of plant material ..... maybe a little more

PEACE

Hi ft 100,

i hear where you are comeing from, but turning all the buds into hash is rather extreem wouldn't you say? i know the thought of moveing your stash is stressy, but its never as bad as you think. just pack that bud up real air tight and enjoy unpacking it once you arrive at the new place.

but if you really see no choice in the mater, then i'd make sure to do an oil extraction after doing the bubble runns. but i don't think i could break up the top colas to make bubble with lol, not with good bud, hehe heartbreaking. although the hash would surely be out of this world.

what ever you deceide, best of luck to you.

ok so a standard formula for bud or leaf to hash is 20% of plant material = hash.

so if i had 10 ounces of plant matter which i will have that means i will have 283 grams. 20% of 283=56.6 grams of hash.

Somehow I do not think those numbers are right.

I just want to know what your formula has been for runs through the bags have been. Anyone that has done a few runs through some bags post your starting weight and your hash weight so we can get a number that is closer to the real average for plant matter to hash. lets start the list and keep the average running.

gaius- i agree it is kind of crazy to convert everything to hash. but i would not have to worry about drying anything either. i would just pull the fan leafs off and cut it all up into some bags and put in the freezer overnight. next day do all my runs through the bubbleator and dry it overnight and press it. in 2 days after harvest i would have smoke. vs 10-14 days

CURRENT % OF PLANT MATTER = HASH = 20%

 

[gaiusmarius]

sure i know, its a fast way to get smoke and saves you the drying. but still, over all its a loss in value. lets put it like this if i didn't have to do that i wouldn't lol. use the small buds and budlets, but keep the colas lol. but if you do make hash with it all, please make a thread about it. i would love to see what kind of bubble you get from colas.

those numbers don't seem right at all. i should think its more like 5% or maybe 10% if you go for quantity over quality. but i hardly ever weigh my trim before i bubble it as it is freshly frozen and would weigh loads because of the water inside.

 

[ft100]

5% and 10% is far less then 20%.

are you sure your 20% figure is even close delta9-thc?

value is in the eye of the beholder gaius. to get 1 gram of hash in my area would be 100 times harder then finding some kind bud. 5 and 10% seem a lot more reasonable to me gaius. Do you have any links to runs we could see to see what you started with and what you ended with?

also, i do not know if I am just having this conversation with you for the sake of it or not because you and a few others have told me not to make everything to hash. it is seeming like a stupid idea the more i think about it. maybe it is just a fantasy in my head that i love to entertain. i see these pics of huge blocks of hash and it makes me want to own a nice chunk of it.

anyone have any pics of hash blocks?

anyways, still contemplating, day 50 flowering right now.

CURRENT % OF PLANT MATTER = HASH = 11.66%

i would never be able to bring myself to do this... a whole harvest? but the tops...

anyway, you could just do 2 runs in the bags then make some oil... definatly not bad results.

or you could make a tumbler and basically dry seive it... IMHO the taste is better, plus you'll get more yield (most likely)

Butte made a tumbler, and i think he ran a whole elbow (of 1st and 2nd quality bud and trim) through it, ended up with like 120g of pure kief, plus another ~50g of seconds (that still looked pretty good). you'd be doing at least half of that with top quality nugs, your yield would be pretty nice.

just shouting out some thoughts

great suggestion. i have already invested in the 1 gallon 7 bag set of bubblebags and the bubbleator so it is water hash i must do.

i have heard that the bubbleator can do about a pound of trim/buds, but i read on here that someone said not to put over a qp in it because it was not as efficient with a big load in there. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

so i would section my harvest into sections no bigger then 113 grams and do two runs on them and then iso or bho the rest. probably iso because i am familiar with it and have done a few runs. afraid of working with butane.

maybe someday i will buy a tumbler. not too handy so i do not think i could build one. also, what is the screen size on the tumblers. im sure you can get different sizes, but what size do most use to get a decent quality, not the best. 90 microns?

peace and smoke

For my next run I also planing on turning the entire plant into bubble, buds and all. Just like FT said, there is also NO hash where I am, cats would kill for bubble. I would love to see how everything turns out FT. Deff keep us updated.

i have a bubble hash run linked in my sig called "makeing bubble for the 420".i've done a few threads on makeing bubble from start to finish on this site. but most of my threads were on OG, anyway here is another link to an experimental bubble run:

http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=24765

but a better yielding run was the one in my sig; makeing hash for the 420 i used fresh frozen trim and budlets and got the best quality i've achieved up till now.

the thing about not putting too much in at once is very true. if its too much it will not be as efficient as it should be. the bubbleator is a great mixing device. combineing that with the 7 bag kit is gona be a winner for sure. if hash is really so valueable in your parts then maybe go ahead and do all put the top colas. this way you'll get the best of both worlds, you'll still have a great chunk of 25u,45u, 73u,120, 160u and 190u each at the end. but you will also still have the buds to smoke when you want to. but in the end you have to know whats best for you.

peace

GO FOR IT!!!
And DO make a thread about it...I too has been playing with thought like yours. Im in the position where i cant start up my indoor grow yet, but have managed to gain acces to a small area where i can do a outdoor grow this summer..but since i really never smoke weed, but only hash i figured i was gonna bubble it all.. im planning on doing about 10 larger plants or maybe a couple of hundred LR´s..i dunno yet. Im expectin somewhere between 500 to 1000 grams..doesnt really matter since i wont use expensive seeds..i got my eye on some Purple Peace X Swiss Miss X Purple Peace X Red Erdbeer beans that i can get cheap...and i still have some Hawaii Indica X Cali O and some Hawaii Indica seeds left, plus a mix of various Danish pot strains..so it´ll definately be a fun summer...

...Butte used about 40 pounds of frosty trim in that thread!

just for some perspective...

Nice man.

Honestly in my opinion, I would probably just bubble it all, then do the iso also. Or, butter? Either one would rock.

Good luck man.

 

[Chiefsmokingbud]

20%.......no way. I've only achieved 15% with the most frosty strain i've ever grown (in 10 years) and even then all the planets were in perfect alignment LOL. Looks good. Bubblegum is frosty but not 20% frosty lol.

 

[jaykush]

i would use everything but the main colas to make bubble then with the main colas make some really good oil. thats if you decide not to bring any nugs which isnt that hard unless your one of those retard drivers.

 

[Keefhead]

I've made entire grows into bubble. It's awesome to hold that chunk of hash in your hand. The only problem is that I keep plucking away at it to smoke, and before you know it, it's gone. Looks like you have some nice growth for hash, as well as smoking bud.

The bubbleator and the bubblebags are a good combination. However, don't stop at 2 runs. Keep on adding more ice and cold water, you can get up to 7 runs out of it. They are not great to smoke, but they make great hash for cooking (brownies, cookies, etc.). With the bubbleator, you keep making runs till it don't give no more. I think (not sure) that the bubblebags by themselves allow a better draining of the heads to the rest of the bags, the Bubbleator has the material in a clump rather than spread out over the top. JMHO, and I reserve the right to be wrong.

I yanked down 6 Belladonna ladies and 1 M Kush lady due to moving, and scared shitless of transporting 7 large mj plants over a 40 mile haul. I BHO'd all of it, even though a few weeks early. Still good oil. I thought it would kill me to see all the bud get BHO'd. But after the sampling the oil, I'm happy I did.

Yea man, do all the runs you can. Smoke the first 3. Use the others for edibles. Good luck man! Post picks when your done.
