Hey folks,
I know a lot of you already make hash. I also know that many of you may be interested in learning how to make some hash. A few years ago I took some pics during the process so I'll share them here for any of you that may want to give it a try. This is only one way to do it as there are many. It's an easy process and allows you to get the max out of your harvests. Give it a try.
You'll need (2) 5 gallon buckets, (1) 7 pound bag of ice, a drill, a paint mixer head for the drill, a fine strainer(Wal Mart has them), some wax paper, some small tubing to siphon with, a big jar, some frozen trim.
Fill one 5 gallon bucket 3/4 of the way and then add a bag of ice
Add in your trim
Get the lid and drill a hole in it just big enough to allow the shaft of the mixer to get through. Attach the mixer, pop the lid on, and mix for 10 minutes.
After mixing, scoop out the trim and squeeze the moisture out of it back into the bucket.
Then, get the 2nd 5 gallon bucket and sit the strainer on top of the 2nd bucket. Then pour the fist bucket through the strainer, and into the 2nd bucket. Do this 4 to 5 times, cleaning off the screen after every pour. After about the 5th pour through, the majority of the trim will be extracted.
Once the filtering is done, let the bucket sit for 4 hours or longer. This will allow all the trichomes to settle on the bottom of the bucket. Then, siphon out the majority of the bucket with some 1/2" tubing, until there's a gallon or so left. Pour what's left into your big jar. Once it's in the jar, let it settle for another 2-4 hours. You'll see the golden ring form at the bottom. Those are the trichomes.
After it settles, siphon off the water with a small piece of tubing
Siphon it right down to just above the trichs but be careful not to get so close that you start siphoning them out. Pour the remainder into a wax paper lined bowl that's in front of a fan and under a light. You can use a turkey baster to suck off as much water as possible for quicker drying.
After a day or two it'll start to dry. You can either flatten it or work it into a ball.
and finally
Good growing everyone.
