YBG's Fullplant Hash Tales

[YukonBikerGuy]

As promised, inspired by Sogarmy & Crunchy's fullplant adventure, I felt the need to both embark upon my own fullplant experiments, and create a post to document them.

Here begins that post....

In a preivous thread, I posted a few pics of this strain (JF) I have going, been wasting time on really, for way too long. Kept it around because it's tasty smoke and potent, but its such a low producer and takes so long to mature and its hard to flush...... did I mention that its very tasty? Sigh. Regardless, I thot that with the arrival of my Bubblenow, perhaps this JF might find a place as whole plant hashish. (Ok, so I also didnt feel like leaving 2 plants alone under a light for 2-3 more weeks either, been 8 already)

At this point I have 2 of these, virtually identical, one with all the fan leaves trimmed off, one before the trim.

[YukonBikerGuy]

Thats 1 plant's worth of trim:

[YukonBikerGuy]

Ok, everything has been in the freezer a few hours, got some ice, 1 plant in the bag , 1 plant in the tub. Then there is the plants and some ice in the bubblenow bag.

[YukonBikerGuy]

Nice tip with the spray bottle of cold water for moving the trichromes, I use this electric spayer with ice water in it. Run the Bubblenow and then drain it. Look at the foamy goodness.

[YukonBikerGuy]

Here are the bags from the first run. 160u 73u and 25u (can't wait to get more bags)

[YukonBikerGuy]

Here is the hash, patties fresh, and then after about 12 hours drying. I will soon be breaking them up more. You can see that I did 3 runs, adding ice each time. The yield was so low from the first 2 I let the 3rd go for a full 30 min before I drained and filtered it. Havent really tested any of it yet, will let you know.

What does this all mean to me? DIE PLANT DIE!!! Damn thing aint worth the medium its grown in, I've wasted far too much time on it already, and I'm off to murder and toss the rest of its siblings, bah!

I will however be doing further fullplant hashmaking trials in the future, to be posted here. Thanks for looking.

[Green Supreme]

Hey dude looks like you may have mixed a little long. I run the Bubblenow for 8 minutes. The real connoisseurs do the first run for 3 minutes. This is the primo. Then you can do a second run and mix the shit out of it. Good luck. Peace GS

ps. how long did you run it for?

[YukonBikerGuy]

Ya I know, I did about 10 min the first, 15 min the second, and 30 min for the third. Think the biggest problem with this run was the ganja itself, shoulda used it for rope maybe... Gonna get more picky when I produce more, and get more bags. Not much point in doing a 3 min run into 3 bags imho.

[Green Supreme]

More bags is better.Guess it comes down to what a guy wants. Personally I dig quality over quantity. Do whats right for you. Peace GS

[Bubbleman]

Hey YBG, nice to see you joining the ranks of the whole plant hash making union. I love it.
YOu will see your quality go up for sure, as you mix for a lower amount of time and of course use the highest grade genetics, and definitly GET MORE BAGS.

thanks for showing the people that its not to scary to do, just cut that bitch up and throw her in lol


Peace
Bubble man


ps, you would be surprised at how few people have ever run a whole plant thru their bags ... your in a small club .

[nortcalismoker]

I tried it a couple nights ago for the 1st time and got nothin! I wasted a whole plant, it was a small one so I think that's why I didnt get none. But it had a bunch of thrichomes.... But I didnt pre freeze it and I think I didnt put enough ice in the work bag. Maybe next time you guys can help me!! Ima put sum pics of my garden and were gona pic a plant that u guys will think yield the most hash..

[nortcalismoker]

I looked ybg's thread and he used a big plant... So im not gonna use a whole indoor plant but once this outdoor plant outside is ready its goin in! but here is a pic of my garden. Also what else can i use for a dyring/pressing screen? I misplaced my original one.:confused:

[YukonBikerGuy]

A replacement pressing screen from Fresh Headies is only $10 USD..... and those were indoor plants :) I think if you check out Sogarmy's fullplant hash thread he used full sized indoor plants as well.

[Elemental]

look delicious body :)

[trichomefarmer]

hehe dont think ive done a full plant either.

[couchlock]

thats great,dude.....very nice

[sog army]

nice looking plants norcalismoker.. yeah i did run a whole full sized indoor plant through my bags.. She was in a 5 gallon home depot pot.. strain was basic diesel from rez.. And just like my homey YGB.. I killed a strain id had around for a while and just didnt like that much , except for making hash.

The plant woulda prolly weighed over 3 oz's of dried bud FWIW..


welcome to the full plant hash club YUKON


We need to make signatures or something under our posts, like theydo on icmag for all the cab growers and crazy crews..:)

[ms.sogarmy]

Yukon- Welcome to the club!

[YukonBikerGuy]

Well, its been a while (really? over 2 yrs?, whoa) since I started this thread, and its time for a little update.

I concieved of this particular project last year in Amsterdam at a nice dinner in a Lebanese place, with some good friends. It would be super nice to share the fruits of this project with those friends again if I can.

I call this project: The Cream of the Crop

In my hash experiment thread, I discovered that the best hash most often comes from fresh frozen material. I have also since been converted to the 'short spin' mentality. And how much better would it be to use primo plants instead of some that are about to be cast off? And heck, why just a plant or two? I'm going whole hog on this one......

2 strains participating in this project, a KLAR pheno I have going, and Random Yukon Kush (my name on an unknown kush).

Almost the entire crop from a 10 week flowering 2000W grow is going into this project. I'm going to do a 3 minute spin, on fresh frozen buds, 'cured' in the freezer for a couple weeks. That will extract the very best of the very best hash from these buds... The Cream of the Crop.

Pictures to come shortly,
YBG

[YukonBikerGuy]

So as I said, about 80% or more of each strain was frozen fresh for hash, the rest will be cured normally for smoking buds. On with the pictures.

RYK first, came down at about 9 1/2 weeks. Here it is the day before harvest:

Thats 8 of those bags now, out in the deepfreezer, 'freezer curing' for bubblehash. In a few weeks, when it has been frozen a good while, I will start the hash making.

To be continued......

[HerbalToker]

My jaw is Dropped, and i CANT WAIT to see what comes from this thread!!! this is going to be fun for you :)

Love it as usual YBG, keep up the great work.. Those buds looks Beautifull and Resin filled :D Going to make for some icredible hash im sure. and lots of it. you must be excited.

Puff On!

[BigManNew]

Looking good YBG, any time one makes something on their own that they enjoy, they should feel accomplished. let us know on those smoke reports how well you did this time around.

[sibannac]

awesome buds YBG. Cant wait to see the hash that falls off them.

The bagged up hash I will smoke, the rest goes into the cooking pile
http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/5/1/6/IMG_3878Medium.JPG

The Lazy Man's hash mix is a bit more harsh than the rest, but smokes just fine for all that.
The 120µ was also a bit of a harsh/dusty toke, but a nice buzz.
The 90µ is pretty melty in that it leaves not much ash behind, but not bubbling much along the way. Buzz came on pretty quick.
The 45µ and 73µ left a bit more ash behind, and the buzzes were slower to come on, with the 45µ tasting just a bit more fuel-ish than the rest.

It's a nice stoney evening in the Yukon. :)

Part 2 of Cream of the Crop is still in the freezer, waiting to be run in exactly the same way, posts soon come.

Hope you all enjoyed the update,
YBG

[tripletee]

after reading your experiences i can hardly wait to get my bubblenow 5 gallon machine and set of 8 bags from fresh he\\dies and also th hash blaster centrifuge from wacky willies and join the ranksYBG you ARE a reaL INsPIRATION!!!!

[tripletee]

YBG I can hardly wait to join the full plant club with som of subcools jillybean frosty white and candy store phenos osoon bubblenow and bags from fresh headies should be here wed afternoon!!!!!!

[tripletee]

yup they showedup at about 10a.m. wednesday morning now on to the extrcting not full plant yet thats about 6months in the future but itz gonna happen aure as the sun comes up in the morning may pick for to six colas off the top before tossing the rest into the wood chipper for th bubblenow machine!!!!!!

[Nuglover]

When mine comes out grainy, i take a pot of boiling water and put a glass bowl over the pot. Add hash and it will become soft and turns the consistency to a putty. i think it takes out some of the harshness and brings out flavor.

One more thing i noticed, if you do this when your hash is still a little wet it will become a consistency that is putty like, but you can roll a ball or break it up very easy.

[YukonBikerGuy]

Do not press or ball wet hash. Trapping water on the inside will spoil the hash at worst, and sizzle and pop when smoked at best. Many here do not even press the dry hash at all , but smoke the powder / lil dry nuggets of hash. But fully dry. If you want to press it after that, it will be fine.

YBG

[greenavenger]

yes you are in a small club that im bout to join as soon as my bags get here!! hello everyone new to site.

[MiKron]

I found that 190 and 160 and a 45 bag system work best for collecting all the goo. Any other bags in the middle tend to get way too gummed up so I found that collecting all the mass in the 45 bag is the best for yield and ease of collection.

Just my 2 cents :)

[YukonBikerGuy]

Well, I have had some buds for this thread in the freezer for well over a year now....

Frankly, I was going to make this hash to take to Amsterdam for the cup last year, but I was not able to go. I was so bummed that I couldn't bring myself to actually make the batch of hash...

Until now!

I set up and spent the afternoon at it, and I even remembered to document it for you all! On with the show.....

Look what I found, 3 bags of RYK bud, fresh frozen, and hidden in the freezer.

Second run got a 6 minute spin. The hash is put away to dry for some days now, I will take a few more shots then.

Hope you have enjoyed the post, sorry it was so long in comming.

YBG

[MiKron]

Wow looks really nice! any difference in taste or overall quality from material that's been frozen for a year?

Also are you heading to the Cup this year? I am very honored to be attending this years Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam hopefully not one of the last.

[YukonBikerGuy]

It's still drying, so as yet untasted. I know the usual hash from this strain, so I will let you know how it compares later. I hope to be attending the festivities in Amsterdam this year, but until my tickets are in-hand, I'm counting no chickens.

Whats in the bags I'm considering the best, into the cooking pile with the rest
http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/gallery/files/5/1/6/IMG_5473Medium.JPG

First run 190µ - cooking hash, >.1g
First run 160µ - cooking hash, >.1g
First run 120µ - not a bad smoke, pretty melty even, .6g
First run 90µ - very melty, very smooth, next to no residue, 2.7g
First run 73µ - very melty, smooth with a bite, very little residue, 2.6g
First run 45µ - melty, smoke is dry and peppery, a little ash, 2g
First run 25µ - slightly melty, smoke tastes a bit dusty, high was ok, but still cooking hash, 0.3g

Second run 190µ+160µ - cooking hash, 0.3g
Second run 120µ thru 25µ - very melty, a smooth smoke with some punch, a well rounded and deep high 11.8g

First run total weight = 8.4g
Second run total weight = 12.1g

Total Hash recovered = 20.5g

Hope you have enjoyed this run in looking at it, I & some few friends will enjoy smoking it. :)

**I just noticed whilst smoking some that my stoned ass wrote 2.8g on the 120µ thru 25µ, when in fact its 11.8g... the smoking session seems to have affected my v*asd$rgSD#@F zzzzzzzzzzz*******
