What do you do with the green smelly water left over after you've lifted out the last bubblebag? I used the 'Gumby method':
The bucket was left to sit for four hours, then all but the last half inch was siphoned off.
This was poured into a glass jar and let it sit for two hours. Again all but the last half inch was siphoned off.
The remaining sludge was poured into a bowl and warmed on a pad. Some of the water on top was wicked off with a paper towel to speed up the drying process. A fan would also help at this stage.
The remaining wet powder was then scraped up and chopped on cardboard for drying in the usual manner. Presumably it's made up from trichomes smaller than the finest screen that was used.
The results from my first 'Gumby hash' batch weighed a little more than that from on any of the screens, making up about 25% of the final harvest.
Not full melt, but a nice smoke all the same. Why throw it away? :)
