Damn I'm a stoner of the greatest magnitude...... I just realized that I never posted the last batch that is supposed to be in this thread. I will dig around and see if I can't come up with the pics to post.

Lesson in Stoner Procrastination..... It's been so long that I have lost all the photos and detailed notes from that run, o well. Puff puff pass.

damn yb ...
luls ybg i checked back here for like a week hoping to see that last batch D: ahh!
hah jk good fucking thread yo, will def be helpful to several bubblenauts
Hey man great!
I just love it.
Cant wait to see what item you stick next to the BN timer for the next shots!!!!
Keep up the good work
this thread is eye opening and a great learning experience! thanks for the documentation, one question for you though.....what do I do with the leftover trim/buds...you mentioned making edibles....just add in the leftovers into some butter? do you prefer salted or unsalted...sorry for bombarding you with ?'s lol
Glad you enjoyed the thread. Start with basic canna-butter (found here: http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/2230.html , thx Cici and CC), you can always add salt later, but its hard to take it out, so I go with unsalted.
wow this is one hard core bubble thread. so cool to see the results from using all those buds. your quality looks top. this thread reminds me of Maximo's style. very interesting to see you systematic approach to every aspect including the hit, hehe. great work!
Very informative as I am needing all this for a serious medical condition thank you for putting in the time and effort 5 stars
well lets try the sister M in 30 days....YAY cant wait i will post pics
very detailed thread YBG, great stuff.
So you recommend freezing fresh trim for 2 weeks? Is that to max yield?
Good job and purdy results bro!
Might I ask how much ice you put in the bag with the frozen buds and how much in the washer?
Do you prechill the ice water mix before dropping the bag in?
Besides techniques, has anyone on this forum noted that one strain will produce a clear dome and another strain won't using the same process parameters?
I believe somewhere here on the forums there is a thread about full melt genetics. Yes it is true, some have a better chance of fm success than others. Peace GS
Thanks for the heads up! I found it!Quote:

sound good man Im waiting for my bubblemachine in mail
Wow, great process pics - thank you! This seems to confirm what I've been learning: if you can use fresh frozen trim, you're more likely to get full melt... and it seems like the shorter mix times result in a cleaner product (with very little reduction in yield).
So, short mix/fresh frozen bud will tend to produce the best result. Sound right?
Thank you for taking the time to share this experiment with everyone, peace.
I have made hash with both fresh trim and fresh bud. In my own experience and opinion, fresh frozen trim makes the very best bubblehash.

Fresh Frozen Trim Hash is like pure Himalayan Charas
Only way stronger.. but yes i agree....

imo fresh dried then frozen has the best results
YBG I'm very curious as to why you stated that the trim needed to be frozen at least two weeks? Is it just for the parameters of this experiment to stay constant or does it really get "more frozen" the longer its in the freezer. Also I have a -40f freezer for work would it have any positive or negative effects on the trichomes? I'm worried about bursting them at such a low temperature.
I get -40C all the time in the winter, and my deep freezer is out on the deck. Go for it. There really isnt much if any water inside trich heads, and certainly not enough to cause them to burst (I think). You are more likely to rupture heads chopping up frozen wet hash patties than by freezing them. (Don't do that by the way.... I should know, lol)
I can only speculate as to the cause of the difference between just frozen and 2 week frozen material, but I do know that it makes for better hash. I think that being frozen for that period of time lets what little water content is in the trichome heads 'freeze dry' out, much like the ice crystals on a piece of meat that has been too long in the freezer. Dehydrated by being well frozen for a period of time.
I imagine that this would cause a few things, such as more of the water soluable terpenes getting trapped inside the waxy trich heads as they wont be as easy to leach out into the water during processing without the water as present in the waxy head to begin with. Also, with less water content inside the heads the would cause them to be even more subject to more of a difference in specific gravity than the water-laden trich heads would. It may also be that being hard frozen for that period of time affects the chlorophyl and other constituents of the plant matter in some way that affects the final outcome as well. For sure fresh material that is frozen has all the cells rupture as they freeze, which you would think would release more chlorophyl etc into the mix, but perhaps the plant material is also benifiting from the same freezer dyhydration in some way, removing moisture from the internals and locking in some of the chlorophyl etc to the inside of the plant material for the mixing process.
Again, all of this is complete supposition on my part. Just the possible actions and causes. All I can state with surety is that in my experience, the hash is always better if the starting material has been deep frozen for at least 2 weeks prior to proccessing, and that the effect is most noticeable on fresh frozen trim. Everybody is free to suggest thier own theories and/or poke holes in mine.
Thanks for looking,
YBG
Thank you very much for the informative reply. I will keep my material frozen for much longer now. I'm going to go do some research on freezing temperatures effect on chlorophyll now.
