Sour Diesel 120, 73, & 25 wet and dry

So now that I'm at least ten runs in, I figured I could post some pics here as I continue to improve my process. These are macros of Sour Diesel 120, 73, and 25 in the wet state just after I chopped them up.

I'll post pics of the same batch when it's dry... just wanted to compare them for my own knowledge, and the pics came out kinda cool so I thought I'd share. It's neat seeing the product up close - you can make out individual trichome heads - but it's also humbling, because you can see all the imperfections when it's this detailed.

I guess I gotta keep improving my washing technique to get closer to the purity I want!

Hope you enjoy, and thanks for the great site.

what do you dry/cure it in? is that glass?

How long, and at what conditions (temp and humidity) do you cure it?

Can you give a brief rundown or your technique used to make it?

I read your other thread about using a spoon, which I do as well. I just wanted to know what other considerations you take to achieve such a ig quality finished product.

I see you say you wet down your dry trim, which is something I was planning to do, allow the trim to cure then reconstitute it with a spray bottle to basically moisten it. This will release some of the chlorophyll.

You also said you remove the contaminants with a spray bottle, do you mean remove the contaminants from the trim, or from the finished product, because I can see both making sense.

I have also been planning to rinse out the murky water form the hash on my next batch as I feel this will help reduce the sap like residue that is left behind from the processing water in the finished product that reduces burn quality and purity.

shmalphy:
Personally I would cure in a glass jar but that is just my opinion.

As far as using wet vs. dry trim...you will always get a better product with less contaminate using wet product. Dry martial can break down much easier than wet.

Now with the spray bottle I say it is a must. A good sprayer with some ice water in it allows you to do a finale wash of your product before you spoon it out of the bag.

You look like you already know a thing or two so I hope this helps you refine your process. Happy Bubbling!
