BUbblenowXl turns 40lbs of trim into 2lbs of bubble, from trim to clear domes!!!

[Bubbleman]

Well , this post has been a long time coming. I have been wanting to get it up on a site for a while, but realy wasnt into > Now with fullmeltbubble up and live, i am stoked to show this one> IT took two guys two days , ten hour shifts to get this done. We rocked about 10 batches a day at a kilo a batch> I won't be showing every single pull , but will show all the trim we started with, all the ice, and the final product. Gonna give some tips throu out the thread, and hopefuly any that i've forgotten can be added by the bubble ambassadors. So lets get started

What does forty lbs of trim look like anyway?
well here's your answer

all the trim was dried, and seperated out by strain> although there were a few batch's we ran that were mixtures of three to four different strains.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/1.jpgLarge.JPG

Now dont forget ice, you are gonna need plenty of it, so for this run we bought 1500lbs of ice for 300bucks in vancouver and trucked it to our work place.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/29.jpgLarge.JPG

each bag of ice is 50lbs worth, about four to five times the size of the bags you see at the store


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/30.jpgLarge.JPG


the trim piled up nicely ( ignore those mixers on top we are using the BUBBLENOWXL)


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/15.jpgLarge.JPG

some of the trim upclose


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/15.1.jpgLarge.JPG

closer still...


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/15.2.jpgLarge.JPG


Before adding any trim into the buckets first we are gonna add some drains into the bottom of these buckets. It makes for a much easier pull when you can simply drain the majority of the water out the bottom of the bucket. so lets start with that.

we take our twenty gallon bucket and drill a hole in the bottom

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/2.jpgLarge.JPG

I am not sure the name of this tool, but my buddy had a bunch of them lying around, they are used to make holes bigger in wood and plastic. It goes on the outside and inside of the hole you drill. THen with a few turns, it cuts a bigger hole


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/4.jpgLarge.JPG


with a pair of plyers we can easily give it a few turns...


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/5.jpgLarge.JPG

and in just a few turns you will break thru and get yourself a nicely cut hole.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/6.jpgLarge.JPG

we then screw in our drain. Bought these at home depot for a few bucks, comes with two pieces that screw together with a washer in between


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/8.jpgLarge.JPG
inside the bucket you can see it fits snug against the plastic wall

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/9.jpgLarge.JPG
we had a hose to the drain with a tap that we can easily turn on and off, and we are done

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/10.jpgLarge.JPG
two buckets with drains and a BUBBLENOWXL and we are ready to start filling the bags.

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/11.jpgLarge.JPG
the BUBBLENOWXL is ready to go

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/13.jpgLarge.JPG
another shot of the BUBBLENOWXL

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/14.jpgLarge.JPG

I didnt have my large all screen barrel shaped bags at the time of this run, ( they are in stock now), so i used four of the five gallon ones. with 200 grams into each bag, we did average runs of 800 grams. I set the scale up so i could make sure we didnt over full the bags.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/16.jpgLarge.JPG

a nice little bonus on using dry trim for this run, each bag we filled with trim we noticed if we gave it a little bump on the scale it would drop half a gram of nice dry sift. So we were collecting lots of dry sift thru out the run.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/17.jpgLarge.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/20.jpgLarge.JPG

Once we got four of them filled up we could move onto the ice


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/21.jpgLarge.JPG

The ice has to go INSIDE The all screen bags, so it can do its job of bashing up against the trim in order to knock the heads off their little plant body prisons.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/22.jpgLarge.JPG

all full of ice and ready to close up the zippers,


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/23.jpgLarge.JPG

Now take your cold water hose, and fill up the BUBBLENOWXL


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/25.jpgLarge.JPG

once you have the water a little more than half filled , you can throw your all screen bags in.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/27.jpgLarge.JPG


Top the water up to the top, and start her up> I put this batch at 15minutes of mixing.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/28.jpgLarge.JPG

Now its time to pull our bags down and add them to the bucket, The order is as follows

25 PURPLE BAG, 45 WHITE BAG, 73 YELLOW BAG, 90 BLACK BAG , 120 ORANGE BAG, 160 RED BAG, 220 BAG i Left out the 190u for these runs, as we were collecting both the 190u and 160 together in order to give to a friend who cooks for med patients


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/1.1.jpgLarge.JPG

I still use my 220 work bag even though the all screen barrel shaped bubblenow bags are 220u, i figure in case any leaf makes it way out of the bag, you' can catch it in your 220 bag. The BUBBLENOWXL unlike the five gallon unit has a PUMP that allows you to simply turn the dial and the water pumps out the BUBBLENOWXL and into your bags. So you just set up the bags next to the bubblenow and let her drain.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/31.jpgLarge.JPG

A Nice colour water draining out is always a good sign of good things to come..


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/31.1.jpgLarge.JPG

If this isnt your first batch of bubble, and you have bubbletools such as scarper as well as your last 25u bag, that needs to be cleaned this is a perfect place to clean those tools, so we can catch all those lost heads in the next batch of bags to be pulled


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/33.jpgLarge.JPG

Rinsing your 25u bag into the new bags will save lost heads


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/34.jpgLarge.JPG

fifteen minutes later and no need to settle or anything, just start pulling the bags out, starting with of course the 220 bag.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/35.jpgLarge.JPG

Once you've pulled a bag its best to clean it right away. dont put it down and start doing other things, take this bag and clean it. flip it inside out..


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/36.jpgLarge.JPG

and rinse it with cold water


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/37.jpgLarge.JPG


then hang the bag to dry properly


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/38.jpgLarge.JPG

also take the all screen barrell bags and clean them getting as much of the spent trim out as possible.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/39.1.jpgLarge.JPG

Next we have our 160 bag ready to pull


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/40.jpgLarge.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/41.jpgLarge.JPG

a little chunk of some lower grade stuff, that my friend will be stoked to cook with.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/42.jpgLarge.JPG

we used a five gallon bag to sit the twenty gallon bag bottoms on to make for easy scooping. The bags are heavy duty and hold themselves up nicely


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/43.jpgLarge.JPG

[Bubbleman]

taking out the bubble, immidiately lay the bubble down on the pressing screen


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/44.jpgLarge.JPG

This bag doesnt realy have any heads that are worth keeping for smoking, so we dont mind flipping this bag inside out and rinsing the mess off


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/45.jpgLarge.JPG


when your done, flip it back and hang it to dry with the 220u bag.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/46.jpgLarge.JPG


Next up for pulling is the 120u bag, and in my opinion the first bag that is realy worth keeping for smoking. I have gotten full melt out of this bag many a time, and even when it doesnt melt, i often find a very tasty gland to be found in this particular size micron.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/47.jpgLarge.JPG

a nice little chunk ready to be taken out


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/48.jpgLarge.JPG

looks a little bigger when you take a closer picture


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/49.jpgLarge.JPG

time to scoop that out


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/50.jpgLarge.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/51.jpgLarge.JPG

Place the 120 on the pressing screen


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/52.jpgLarge.JPG


Now because this is the first smokeable product, i suggest that you rinse your scoop inside the next bag to be pulled, the 90u black bag.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/53.jpgLarge.JPG


we will also be cleaning our 120u bag inside the soon to be pulled 90u black bag.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/54.jpgLarge.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/55.jpgLarge.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/56.jpgLarge.JPG

Now even though the bag will look quite clean, its still a good idea to make sure that you rinse the bag with clean cold water


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/57.jpgLarge.JPG

Then hang the bag with the others to dry


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/58.jpgLarge.JPG

time to pull the 90u bag, and often my favorite size gland heads. IF there is going to be melty bubble, it will often be found here first.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/59.jpgLarge.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/60.jpgLarge.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/62.jpgLarge.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/61.jpgLarge.JPG
a decent pile by anyones standards


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/63.jpgLarge.JPG

so scoop that up off the screen ( trichomefarmer mentioned in another thread that he fills a spray bottle with ice water and uses it to manipulate the resin heads to go where he wants them, he can make it so they all pile up into the middle, remove froth from the bubble and even clean up the sides of his bags, two thumbs up trichomefarmer another idea i will impliment , much like the drain idea you gave me years ago, thanks man .)



http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/65.jpgLarge.JPG

place the bubble on the pressing screen


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/66.jpgLarge.JPG

we now can clean our 90u bag inside our soon to be pulled 73u bag. Can't be wasting such priceless gland heads so every way you can come up with to save more, let us know.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/67.jpgLarge.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/68.jpgLarge.JPG


now we rinse our 90u black bag with cold clean water


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/69.jphLarge.JPG

now hang the 90u black bag with the others to dry


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/70.jpgLarge.JPG

Now its time to pull the 73u yellow bag out


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/71.jpgLarge.JPG
a nice little pile

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/72.jpgLarge.JPG

scoop it out


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/73.jpgLarge.JPG


and lay those golden globs of goodness on your pressing screen


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/74.jpgLarge.JPG


now as repetetive as it may sounds, rinse your bag with cold clean water. even though we have already dipped the inside out screen into the soon to be pulled 45u bag. the screen can still use a good cleaning with clean water.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/75.jpgLarge.JPG

and hang to dry



http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/76.jpgLarge.JPG

Our second last bag for pulling is the 45u white bag.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/77.jpgLarge.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/78.jpgLarge.JPG

THis is where we usualy get quite a bit of froth on the hash as we pull the 45u bag


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/79.jpgLarge.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/80.jpgLarge.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/81.jpgLarge.JPG

we place the 45u bubble on the pressing screen


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/82.jpgLarge.JPG

Rinse the bag with clean cold water


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/84.jpgLarge.JPG

and hang to dry


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/85.jpgLarge.JPG


we come to our last bag, the 25u bag.



http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/86.jpgLarge.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/87.jpgLarge.JPG
a nice amount in the 25u bag

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/88.jpgLarge.JPG

lets scoop it up


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/89.jpgLarge.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/90.jpgLarge.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/91.jpgLarge.JPG
nice close up of the 25u bubble

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/92.jpgLarge.JPG

now place it on the pressing screen


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/93.jpgLarge.JPG

so here are a few shots of some of the bubble grades sitting on the pressing screen


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/94.jpgLarge.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/96.jpgLarge.JPG

here you can see the difference's in the grades just by their colour.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/97.jpgLarge.JPG

what i do now, is i basicaly close the pressing screen up like a sandwhich and using a towel on both the top and bottom of the pressing screen to absorb the water, i gently press it. sometimes with a rolling pin or a glass jar, what ever handy really.

[Bubbleman]

I then take the paddies and place them on cardboard which i write in each section the micron
number of the hash.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/98.jpgLarge.JPG

you can see as some of the bubble dry's it starts taking on a much lighter colour than when
the water is present .


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/100.jpgLarge.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/99.jpgLarge.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/102.jpgLarge.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/103.jpgLarge.JPG


I left this out for a few days on cardboard, and we were lucky cause there was zero traffic
in this room. no animals, nothing>IF you arent this lucky you will have to figure out a
way to protect your bubble while it lays on trays. I have seen baker racks used, as well
as wooden shelves, as long as you can put these bubble covered cardboards somewhere
safe, because the amount of time and energy it takes to get to this point, from seed,
its UNREAL.

So now we bring ourselves to the final product. once we have organized all the grades
and strains into their seprate containers, this is what it sometimes looks like.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/104.jpgLarge.JPG

ended up with a full lb of krush on this run. here are a few shots of the krush they are
easily discernable as they are in the larger containers than the rest of the bubs


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/105.jpgLarge.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/106.jpgLarge.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/107.jpgLarge.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/114.jpgLarge.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/115.jpgLarge.JPG
some of the melties ( although almost all of it melted ) headies out of the whole session
go figure the champagne aka the bchashplant.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/116.jpgLarge.JPG
a little close up on some hashplant freshies

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/118.jpgLarge.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/117.jpgLarge.JPG
the entire 2lbs shown here, has been enjoyed by countless since this batch was made, alas
only a small amount left, but still melting nicely


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/119.jpgLarge.JPG
a clean screen to show you a few of the melt factors on some of these lovely strains we
ran> Some of what was run, was hindu kush 401, krush, skunk 100, champagne, hashbud,
afghanie bullrider , and a few im sure im forgetting.



http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/120.jpg.JPG
start off with a little hk


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/121.jpg.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/122.jpg.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/123.jpg.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/124.jpg.JPG

some skunk 100 melting away


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/125.jpg.JPG

a little hashbud


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/126.jpg.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/127.jpg.JPG

some afghanie bullrider


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/128.jpg.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/129.jpg.JPG

pressing up some afghanie bullrider with heat assistance


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/130.jpg.JPG

made a little pressed paddy of the afghanie bullrider. played with till it softend up
and flattened it nicely



http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/131.jpg.JPG

let it cool and to show the quality of this resin, it goes to a nice rock hard feeling.
So when i hit it with the lighter, seconds after it was soft and pliable...



http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/132.jpg.JPG


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/133.jpf.JPG

it breaks nicely.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/134.jpg.JPG

a few of these batchs i just named numbers like 13, 7, and 5 as they were mixtures of
skunk 100, afghanie bullrider, hashplant, hashbud, hindu kush 401, and a few i will have
to remember another time lol, to many bowls in this thread .


so here is the 13,



http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/135.jpg.JPG


load a bowl to see her melt factor's

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/147.jpg.JPG

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/148.jpg.JPG

nice and melty indeed


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/149.jpg.JPG

well i am all out of shots and all out of time, but i will be adding a few more things
to this thread tomorrow. perhaps i can find where i wrote down what strains are in each
mix batch. otherwise if you have any questions or can offer some other tips i didnt cover
here. that would be wonderfuly, now to take another hit of this krush bubble, its sooo
tasty now that its several months cured.

PEACE

[Green Supreme]

Respect. Good work man. Thanks for takin the time for the peeps. Peace GS

[schrooomy420]

Awsome, may have taken 10 hours to make the thread, but it's a good one.

[vodoochild]

holy jeebus bman that is epic! love the way the snake melts to dome..

[Kaneda]

Damn, and I thought the 4 runs in my 5 gallon 3 bag kit earlier today was a lot of work.

Question though, the bubble I got looks about as green as the pic you showed of the 120u stuff, is that ordinary, or proof of low quailty? Will it turn more tan colored upon drying for a couple days?

Amazing thread, I can see why you'd want to spend like 12 hours trying to get it perfect!

[diggity]

Bubbleman, thanks for all that you do

[HENNESSY]

Very Very nice bubble man! :)

[Blynx]

Very nice thread!

[Green Supreme]

Kaneda the wet bubble definitely gets lighter when its dry. Peace GS

[threeeleven]

One of the best threads i've ever read. I'm in awe. wow.

[Razz]

i want a lungfull of that!

[sleepy]

:eek::eek::eek:

wow...with the small amount of glands i have collected over several years...i am not worthy of this place!

:(

holy guacamole!

nice work, sir!

[Joe]

Amazing stuff man. I hope I can do a run and get a few grams one of these days =P

[fullmeltbubble]

maybe bubbleman you can talk about how you get it into that powderish form....

[Bubbleman]

yeah for sure hillbillieonpcp, powderizing isnt as hard as it may seem. I merely press the bubble gently in the pressing screen that comes with your bubblebags. ONce i have the wet paddies, i take a knife or a razor blade, and chop the still fairly wet bubble into chunks, From there if the quality is realy high, it may be more difficult to get into smaller piece.s there are options for hash like this.
You can freeze the chunks and grind them in a grinder. but i personaly would wait a while before doing this. I would let the small chunks sit out on the cardboard for a day or two> While every three or four hours, you can try breaking them up by hand a little more each time.
Eventualy you will be left with a dry powdery bubble on the cardboard, you can then collect it up and place it in your containers.

I will throw some pics up of this process when i find them.
Peace
Bubble man

[ojd]

great thread buble man

that champagne makes some crazy domes

[Billygoat]

Hey Bubbleman,

Thanks for taking the time to post all those lovely pictures and steps for us. It's been a while since I've seen a thread as good as this one. Congrat's.

It made me think of the first set of bags I bought from you. Man, was that a fun and odd day. I remember getting the bags online. They get to the house and I was thinking, "This isn't going to work". BOY, was I wrong. Me and the friends later on that night, where shocked. Talk about being so HIGH. lolol. They all wanted to know where I scored this hash. I told them some mexicans down by the Home Depot. lolol

Well done on the new units. Glad they finally made it. lolol I know the problem you had getting them. Can't wait to try my new unit out. Take care and have a lovely holiday.
Later,
BG

[ToB]

This is a very nice thread bubble. You make it look so easy!

[Calyx]

Killer thread. Somethin to learn here for the seasoned bubble maker down to the greenhorns.

[JJDubz]

:Jawdrops:

[Cannawinner]

Amazing.
Very precise informative hard working thread.

I always thought that one needs to use frozen trim and do at least 3 runs with the smallest sized bags.
Excellent thread.

[oaxacaspice]

Now that's absolutely awesome and your products really do a most excellent job.

Wicked cool, indeed, Bman. http://img99.exs.cx/img99/8577/yupi3ti.gif

Paz y mas...

[TILT!]

WoooW, class stuff and nice pics chum. Gives me also what I needed to know about yields with the bags on a medium scale. 5 % straight: sounds alright from trim. Can you tell me:
1. is all that 2 lbs. bubbleable or just the finer grades?
2. if you mixed it all together, how much resin-foreign matter would it have approx.?
3. does that drum work on centrifuge? If so, how many rpm?

Nice one mate:)

[Bubbleman]

Hey guys thanks for the good words, This thread was definitly a lot of work, Not to mention the actual bubble making was no day at the beach .

To answer your questions TILT, the 2lbs is the bubble, so i am not sure what you mean by bubleable? or just the finer grades, but all the bubble i posted melted, and was indeed bubble.

This bubble is 90% heads guaranteed. Maybe 95% or higher. I have never actualy done the taking it apart and seperating out the fine fine contaminant. But i would suspect it can't be more than 10%. More like 5%. And i would NEVER MiX it together, that would is basicaly sacriligeous to any conesuer bubble maker. What your talking about ie mixing the grades, is soley for commercial purposes.

As for the drum question, i am not sure what drum you are speaking of. If your talking about a pollinator, drop mila an email at www.pollinator.nl and ask her she will know the proper rpms of the unit.

Peace

Bman, I have read this thread like 10 times, and it still blows me away. Awesome man.

[Bubbleman]

Glad you like it bitfreak420, it is definitly chalk full of good information for anyone who wants to either produce a lot of final product, or even for someone who is using a twenty gallon bubblenowXL.

The hash that i made in that batch is just now over a year and a half later, starting to dwindle .


last hits of the krush.....

woah... first read for me... AMAZING PICS BMAN!

[Bubbleman]

Right on Th0 , glad you enjoyed it.
Its always here for people to check if they are running a larger than usualy batch or just want to tap their buckets, and get some pointers.
with that said.

Good morning BM, I really like your bubblenow bags, has anyone compared the yield from bubblenow in a whashing machine compared to the yield from using a drill and paint mixer in a 50gal. garbage pail?
Forced filtration or gravitationnal filtration through screens ?
Using the bubblenow bags(large) in a regular washing machine for a while now and it has been 3 baggs that have ripped(used each bag maybe 40-50 runs), would the same thing happen in the bubblenow xtralarge machine?
Again, thanks for putting those out to market. Boom Shiva! RR

[NegativeGlow]

Love you'r work Bubble and thanks for all the info.:pipe::cool1:

[Space_Station_Solaris]

Hello, B-Man.
I have a question for you, Mr. Debonair Cannabis Connoisseur!
Would using a total yield of around 22-24 grams of flowers, in addition to trim, make any sort of significant amount of Hash browns?

I find your scientific knowledge of Cannabis fascinating. You are in every way an ambitious Cannabis genius, and I thank you for making us all privy to your world.

Peace.

pressing up some afghanie bullrider with heat assistance

made a little pressed paddy of the afghanie bullrider. played with till it softend up
and flattened it nicely



http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/131.jpg.JPG

let it cool and to show the quality of this resin, it goes to a nice rock hard feeling.
So when i hit it with the lighter, seconds after it was soft and pliable...

Its funny that folks think that good hash is soft all the time. Good hash is rock hard till heat is applied. Peace GS

Hey Green Supreme,
Yes many people are getting the wrong Resin advice these days.

Good ***** (5*) Dry Quality Resin Powder can feel "rock hard" until you start to press it into Hashish with a little heat from a lighter.

Quality Resin will turn from dry Resin Powder to pliable Resin with a little heat. If you press your Resin thin enough it will press out a Amber Transparent Color. Hashish!

Good dry Resin Powder pressed into Hashish will make a "Snap" sound when broken, if processed properly. This is the sound of Hash Success!

Quality Resin is achieved from using the highest Trichome covered plant material. This Trichome covered plant material is then properly dried before being separated using either the ice water separation or dry sifting method.

Plant Resin (trichome) is alive and needs to be dried properly before being separated and Smoked.........

[RooRiTuP]

Thanks for sharing Bubbleman!!! Awesome Pictures; Awesome Thread!!!! :smoke1:

[BigManNew]

Thanks Bubbleman, this thread is great! I have been looking for a detailed explanation on how to do this! (of course I'll be doing it on a smaller scale =P)

[ElRubio]

Thx Bman and everyone for this educational thread.
awesome, i didnt see it before...
:)
Nice bubbles for all

[Evergreen]

just got my Bnow XL the other day!

[ganjalicious]

thanks for sharing all that! when I joined this site I wasn't even aware of how bubble bags work, now I just can't wait till I order a set and put them to use!

As a question for a lower grade results: could all this trim be run through again, or would the yield have too much contaminates?

[bubble_head4life]

Not only did i get to sample this amazing hash, I also had some gifted to me for my birthday. A present i will never forget. peace boyz

[thehodgod]

Now that's a great gift to get bubble_head! If only I could put that on my Xmas list to Santa haha.

[Hydrophilic]

Best thread of any forum I've ever been on, and I've been on a shit ton of forums. I can't wait to buy some bubble bags. That stuff looks amazing.

[yawbus]

wow BMan. this thread is amazing. i have never seen anything like it. very detailed info as well.

[Justme]

i love the meltyness .....

[cheesebox]

Every time this comes to the top I go on a journey through the pics, Shit looks epic bman!

[Bongwater420]

wow.

this is amazing truly a wonderful thing to document and post thanks bman

[dankocalypse]

hash snake ftw, nice job as always bman nice pictures

[sunseeds]

Bman, was wondering how come in your pics it looks like there is still water almost to the very top of the garbage can when you are pulling your bags out for collection? I thought the idea was to drain almost all of it before attempting to pull the bags.

Would you suggest a pulley system for lifting the 20gal bags?

If I let the water drain from a 20gal garbage can like that after being mixed in the bubble now then run through an 8 bag kit should I then drain that water back into the bubble now to filter again? Then re-wash the plant matter for a longer period to get a second grade? Or should I just dump out that water, start with fresh water in the bubblenow for the longer, second run and filter and dump. If I should re-filter that water, how many times? Thanks so much for an awesome thread, just ordered the bubble now: XL pro kit and I can't wait to try it out.

[Green Supreme]

Draining does make it easier, but is not a mandatory part of the process. I have pulled many in this manner. No pullies, as these bags were not made for hanging full.

Not sure what you mean on the last paragraph. Are you asking if you can run the used water again, then yes. You can also run the material more than once. If you look in my concentrate thread we ran some material 5 times. Personally I would rarely puff past the first run. Good luck. Peace GS

[sunseeds]

Thanks so much G.S. I appreciate the advice. I have some experience using a 3 bag 5gal kit but not near as much as many of you or near the scale or quality of production. I can't wait to use a quality 8 bag system and to have the bigger 20 gal size as the 5gal kit was way to small my needs. Just trying to read as much as I can before I post, because I don't have too much to add to the site yet. Will post pictures soon. Thank you

[Bynk]

It looks like ice was only placed in the bags, not in the surrounding water.
Is this the current recommendation?

Thanks

[ropesheads]

I then take the paddies and place them on cardboard which i write in each section the micron
number of the hash.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/98.jpgLarge.JPG

you can see as some of the bubble dry's it starts taking on a much lighter colour than when
the water is present .

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/103.jpgLarge.JPG


I left this out for a few days on cardboard, and we were lucky cause there was zero traffic
in this room. no animals, nothing>IF you arent this lucky you will have to figure out a
way to protect your bubble while it lays on trays. I have seen baker racks used, as well
as wooden shelves, as long as you can put these bubble covered cardboards somewhere
safe, because the amount of time and energy it takes to get to this point, from seed,
its UNREAL.

So now we bring ourselves to the final product. once we have organized all the grades
and strains into their seprate containers, this is what it sometimes looks like.


http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/3/104.jpgLarge.JPG

ended up with a full lb of krush on this run. here are a few shots of the krush they are
easily discernable as they are in the larger containers than the rest of the bubs

well i am all out of shots and all out of time, but i will be adding a few more things
to this thread tomorrow. perhaps i can find where i wrote down what strains are in each
mix batch. otherwise if you have any questions or can offer some other tips i didnt cover
here. that would be wonderfuly, now to take another hit of this krush bubble, its sooo
tasty now that its several months cured.

PEACE

Bubble manlooks like you had a good day.In 1972 lots of heads would come to oz with solid and a kg of oil,no one wanted the oil but me.had so much of it.Took a load to NZ and met an friend from Sydney who showed me how to turn it back to solid.He was an australian born from Lebanon.Take some bags to the middle east and have another good day...Keep spreading the word you have something going on keep tracking...You will be a hash master if not already HATS oof bubbleman..

[cannawerks]

thank you, for all you have done, and being superkind. info/site/forums/promoting s**vent free lifestyle. what else is there...live up!!!!

[Al-K-Mist]

I noticed nobody has asked this question, and it could be just my silliness:
When the phrase "40 lbs of trim" is used, that looks like fan leaves and the trimmed bud leaves. Is this correct, or is it only the leaves trimmed from the flowers?
I heard that the fan leaves are also used. My friends friend composted the leaves last time-nobody wanted them-and that would seem such a waste.
Thanks

Your shit rocks, kid

[allheads]

All very nice looking bubble. One thing that was confusing about the pics that I wanted clarification on, as a friend of mine has recently purchased a bubblenow xl, and wants to loan it out to me. Do the trim and ice both go into an all screen zippered bag together? Or are there bags of ice and bags of just trim respectively? The pics appeared to show the latter, but just wanted to make sure.

[allheads]

the only really confusing (to a novice) part of the explanation given in this thread is that you specifically say to put ice and trim together into the all mesh bags then specifically show two separate really confusing pictures; one of bags full of trim and one of bags full of ice with no trim. Pictures that blatently contradict your written explanation of the process= not helpful
