Dry sift making

[I'mOne]

i have several. oz of bubba hash plant buds and i want to make dry sift.
do i need to jar cure the regular way or just dry them... or? just harvested last week

I would still keep the step of curing it in jars.... I always believed its a crucial step in good tasting product no matter what you do with the buds.... Cause we all know no matter how small a micron screen we use its really hard to get all 100% plant matter out so might as well have it be properly cured if its gonna be there.

i think i will give them a month at least. .
thanks

I usually just aim to cure the hash afterwards. It keeps for years.

weasel can you tell me what you think would be a good process for making my dry sift?
what is your procedure

 

[Weaselcracker]

I’m sorry- I started to reply to this but I haven’t had much time on the forum lately. I have to make some hash soon and I will try to post a couple pics.

I made some with a credit card and silk screen frame
Yield was not great but quality was good. I heated my clay extruder up to about 120 f and pressed it into pucks

 

[Weaselcracker]

What size screen did you use?
I’m constantly changing my methods which is also part of the reason I haven’t posted it. I don’t feel I’m really ‘there’ yet.

I think it was 120 microns

do u think the dry sift is different to bubble hash. Is it a better end result. I have caught the extraction bug and am working my way slowly through the non butane methods.

 

[Weaselcracker]

I think it’s exactly the same stuff.
Resin glands mixed with a bit of other plant matter. I have made a pot of bubble (ice) hash over the ten years or so, and intermittently before that- back to the 90’s, and have just gotten into dry sift over the last year or so. Overall I find it much easier and more productive.
As in the ice method quality of the end result is controllable by the quality of the product you use, and how much/long you agitate it.

I'v done both and never had much success with dry sifting.
Pretty sure that's all on my ignorance though.
My biggest problem was never getting as much of the plant material out that I wanted
The end product always looked green
With bubblebags, there's never as issue.
Use a washing machine with icewater to agitate and snap those heads off
Pass the water through a 5 set bag and spray the accumulated gunk at the bottom of the bag with a sprayer and what you have left is extremely pure
