Do you change your mixing times? Any information would help. I have just heard YBG doing multiple runs with same material as well as others. Wondering if it's worth the efforts. thanks.
I usually do it about 3 times and call it quits but I think it all depends on what quality and type of product your dealing with, when using trim or shake there is more of a surface area for the trichromes to get knocked off in the mixing process so less runs are needed, but when you are using whole buds the surface area is not flat and seperated it takes more and more mixing to access and knock off the trichs(even if you break up the buds)
I imagine this time if I would have only done 3 runs I would have lost half my yeild so the other 4 pulls were definately worth it. My buddy even did another run or two (8&9) and he got some ok hash but nothing I would keep definately cooking quality though.
I did add some fresh water but for the most part this time I tried to reuse the water, reason being is my water from tap isnt as cold as the already chilled ice cold water so it would melt my ice alot quicker (I used a 20 lb bag for all 7 mixes,5 lbs added every 2 mixes) I am handmixing for 5-10 minutes with a wooden spoon, every mix is timed pretty much the same.
So Id say if your starting material is reall high quality even smokable then its worth it to keep mixing and pulling your bags until you get next to nothing, that is just IMO as I dont like to see anything good goto waste. you should be able to tell when its not worth your effort anymore.
next time I run the casey jones buds through the bags I will make sure to take pictures of each pull so you all can see. thanks for checking out my thread and pics
