How do u dry your BUBBLEHASH???

[UNREGISTRD]

Ive seen a couple threads here on the BUBBLEHASH itself and what great results come about...Ive got some bags and am wondering the best way to dry the stuff??
once youve got your different screens sizes in piles wet do u ball it like hash or when should i do that??

Chop it up finely on some heavy cardboard... The cardboard will dry the bubble.

oh cool cardboard that makes sense,,when can i ball it up and form it once its dry or just before its dry??

 

[trichomefarmer]

When it is totally dry. if you do it before and store it your ball will mold. this starts on the inside and by the time you notice it the whole ball will be wasted.

I use cardboard picnic plates, I find the bubble doesnt stick to them. I would also raise them off the surface, so that the air can also circulate under the cardboard plates aswell. I mark each plate with the screen size.

Great idea with the plates TF. I never thought about that

A good food dehydrator is worth its wieght in gold. I squeeze out the hash and dry it at 94 degrees. Takes about 12 hours. BONE DRY with no loss of flavor or potency.

From the drying screens


To the cardboard...if it's clean it will dry overnight..


Make a hash ball


If it is hard to compress you can heat and press..I put a plate in the microwave and heat up this espresso tamp sometimes..


Can you see my face on the tamp wood shadow..that's right coppers come and get me...

Anyone else here have a problem with the drying screens? I noticed when i used them that alot of bubble stuck to the screen and was a mess, so i stopped using them.

thats a good point about the drying screens. i read a while back that one guy would press his bubble in the screen a bit and then leave it like that for a few hours after its hard enough the hash comes off in one piece no leaving any on the pressing screen. theoreticly anyway, as i haven't tried it myself that way.

 

[trichomefarmer]

freeze the pressing screens, then when frozen rub them together. much of the stuck trichomes will come loose.

once that bubble is mostly off, wash the screens in a bucket of cold water, again by rubbing them together(fold the screen), then pour that water through the bags and re-collect the washed goodies.

et voila clean screens again.

good thread, thanks guys!

 

[gaiusmarius]

Top of my computer display. I can leave the whole pressed patty and its dry in a day or two.

you guys rock thanks for all your input!!! ended up putting em on cardboard and let it sit out for a night in a dark cool cupboard and walla it was dry...
got so much im amazad. It definitly covers the cost of the bags the first time. trully amazed,,,
the first screen was a bit shy but then every screen there out was more and more. except for the last one the 25 didnt have much is that normal???
still loooottss of trim left so pics on the 2nd round for u all!

got a question fer u all,...
i have made a half dozen batches of bubble already,..it turns out good and all,...but..
it never bubbles,...i keep each layer of screening seperate and i dry it to the bone.
the quality of trim is top notch and last time even consisted of half popcorn nugs..the strain is purple erkle,..i have also tried ATF but it didnt bubble either...i use a lot of ice and a paint mixer bit for blending,...ill usually blend for about 15-20minutes,.let it sit for awhile,..then again for another 5-10 minutes,...i then pour it all thru the 220,..then ill stir it with a kitchen blender while it all drains thru....
am i mixing too long? am i letting it dry too much?should i combine all screens worth into a clump(220-160 aside)?
not to mention,...screening with the 25 bag is a complete pain,..takes forever!,..is this normal?

 

[UNREGISTRD]

Well jello for the first experience with it...See why they call it bubble. the whole bucket looked froathy and bubbley and at some point the bubble got so big around other bubbles it was the size of softballs in the water..but thats just the water bubbling dunno if thats normal or what!
Know for the dried hash itself got it to press into real nice balls
Found THe key to getting it to bubble in your pipe or even on the meds in the waterpipe it must be pressed into real thin wafer circles and placed over the meds..
its almost clear when u put it up to the light but yet its dark as can be when in a ball..

 

[packn2puff]

I'm more into the stacked screens all in one bucket using the 220 as the work bag...agitating with the hand mixer...letting the mix settle..then just stirring with a spoon a little...
I think it helps move the trichs..through the mesh..so they don't get hung up..the downside is you can create tiny particles of contaminant..that make it through too...
I know some like to just hand stir it to keep it clean..
Need to keep that 25 real clean..it can be a pain...

yea thats how he did it pack... used a paint mixer on the end of cordles drill though..
got a tip too...if u dont have a place to freeze the trim Put water in the bucket just over the screens and then put your trim in and completly cover with ICE without touching for 30min..then go to work..by adding a bit more water and start churning!! ( Got this from TRASH 2 STASH)
The next round will be pictured so youll see the differences...

dryed

dryed

here is the 45 dryed its quite a bit damb amazed!!



And not sure forgot this one it was on the cardboard though..

 

[jello]

i think im agitating it too much,...;[
ive used the paint mixer to turn the ice into a foamy slush,.....
should the material be completely submerged beneath water when mixing? thats how ive been doing it,..submerged in water with a bung load of ice on top....
here is what ive ended up with so far....
