Bruising trichrome heads

[bonapartist]

I've heard it's possible to damage your hash by pressing it while it's still wet, since the broken trich heads get bruised and degrade easier. Which made me think, given that your hash is completely dry, is it possible to damage the potency or longevity of your smoke by working it too much? Some people press and repress and roll their hash into balls and snakes and miniatures bust of Julius Caesar - can this degrade it?

well bonapartist, let me start by saying that when people mention degregation i think 99% of them are refering to information they read in rob clarkes book HASHISH. In his book he talks about some tests that were run for degregation using third world imported hash. They found the thc percentages to drop quite a bit each year, having had pressed the hash, this ruptures the wax membranes , which makes it easier for oxygen and light to work its magic. HOwever these hash's were of fairly low thc already. I dont think you can apply the same logic to the hash we make now adays that is 30 to 60% thc depending on your tools and starting materials. I know i have personaly smoked 14 year old dry sift that was full melt, and it got me wicked high> No doubt about it.
I dont think nepaly or indian could compare on the same level> If you smoked 14 year old indian charas, you would see much like i have ( i've smoked 12 year old stuff), it had little to no affect.

Now to address something else you mentioned in your question> The pressing of wet hash> doesnt ruin the hash because it ruptures the wax membranes, but because it allows the moisture that is still present to contaiminate the precious oils and cannabinoid profile that resides inside. The worst thing you can do is press wet bubble. Such a pity to come so close to having perfect hash, and then ruin it at the end.
Hope that helps.

Does gently squeezing the whole mass of wet bubble in a piece of sieve to remove a part of the excess water ruin it this much??
thx.

[Bubbleman]

No, it certainly doesnt td, you can gently press the heads with no problem, it realy takes quite a bit of pressure to pop those waxmembranes.


Peace

I have broken the mambranes before I knew what I was doing, let me tell you. It really sucks and can ruin your product completely. I always dry it for about 2 days now that I know what im doin

Dude, your reaching. What does that stuff have to do with you and why do you feel it necessary to discuss other folks finances when neither of the people you are talking about is you. You seem to be of high moral fibre here. {Sorry I use the term rather loosely}. Keep talkin your showing folks who you really are . Good luck with the shti slinging thing. Its very becoming.Peace GS

Thanks to Adam of THSeeds people learned not to "bruise the fruit".
He is a distirbutor still, because you still owe him money from 2006. When you going to get this years model HoodLamb for sale???

As the person who handles the bookkeeping, I'm not aware of us owing any money to Adam. He can contact me [email protected] if he feels that we owe him money.

In terms of the Hoodlambs, we are currently selling the winter 2007/08 line and anticipate the arrival of the Spring/Summer 2008 line in a couple of weeks. Winter 2008 comes out in September.

All this theoretical talk about bruised heads. Seems a picture of said bruises is in order. Seems like if its a common thing we'd have seen pics of it. Not saying pics aren't out there, just that those who are trying to teach need more than words to get it across. Good luck with that. Peace GS

Nuff said. Peace GS
