I did a bubble run a week ago. Started with 250 grams, ran it three times, at least 10 minutes each, last run was 15 minutes.
Got some nice full melt, tasty hash, but is too sticky for easy handling. And certainly the yield was not great
Today was nice and cold was minus 19 C, when I started at about 11 AM (was down to -25 over night). The dry bud was out in the shed over night so was very frozen. It broke up quick, and released the gold just as quick. I did "about" 1 ounce batches at a time by hand, in a 12 inch sieve, and worked it for no more than a couple of minutes per batch. Wiping the mirror after each batch, in case I spilled some (weed in the hash). I don't need tell you how cold my fingers were with just a pair of latex gloves on. Painful cold, that's how cold. HAHA
Anyway, I knew after the first batch it was going to be a good run, and it was. I got a 12% return, my personal best, 38 grams of hash from 315 grams of bud, and I chalk it up to it being very cold.
Last year I separated it further, but had hash that was too sticky, so no, I won't be processing this any further.
The bubble from last week, the peanut butter colored stuff is 73-160 micron, it bubbles and fully melts, and is tasty for sure.
And this is the "Golden Goodness" dry sift from today, 38 grams. Which takes a lot less time, and hassle to make than bubble. I personally do not need full melt, or even like dealing with it.
and a more close up view.
Think I'll do another batch on Thursday with a high temp. of -9 C
