1st run no melt

[savs2k]

I did my first run for bubblehash with an 8 bag bubblebag set with a 5gal washer. I used wet trim mostly fan leaves and got a decent return although it was green. I could not get any melt at all though. I used some nice sugary grandaddy to start with. The water was so cold on the second run it was smoking with cold fog. I'm thinking maby there was too much contaminates? The hash didn't come out looking right after it dried it was more powdery instead of having that melty look to it. I looked at the stuff under a magnifier and its looks great but it just won't melt. I wanted to ask for advice before I do a good batch

Well.. sometimes the quality of the resin head is just not there.. It really depends on how it was grown and wether or not the grower understood the need to allow the trichome head to mature.. This means allowing the oils to mature and the wax membrane to thin out. The thicker this membrane is.. the less likely you are to get a melty bubble.
If your ratio of Volatile oils is high that is where you are most likely to get the MELT>
the melting affect is the volatile oils bubbling and melting out of the hash.

Also using wet trim.. if you over mix it can lower your quality depending on the material you started with.
Feel free to come into live chat and ask use questions live next time you run a batch..
Good luck and may the fullmelt bless your bowl sooner than later

Once your trichomes begin to turn amber, does that also mean the wax membranes have thinned out and the oils matured? I'm gettin ready to harvest one of my little guys and want to ensure bubbly goodness. Gracias very much

Use the good frosty buds and trim... Then pull apart the buds or chop em up! Very important!
Then mix for at least one hour stopping 3-4 times to wait 10 mins to let settle.

^^^ One hour is way too long to mix.

I mix by hand for 15 minutes at most, then settle for 20 (I have a 1 gallon kit)

Get an electric mixer, works better, oYo

I ran my 5gal washer for 10 and 15 mins I think it was overkill. Also the bag opened in the washer by itsself so I know the second batch had contamination

screw electric mixer unless u meant Bubblenow XL

Bubble now xl. Looks fancy! I was looking into those washers too. I bet it's very gentle on the triches! Nice. I say longer because when I do mix for less time and i take out the material I can still see trichomes. My thought is longer colder mix and for the most part all the triches will be off, IMHO.

Ok it's not really my technique I ripped it off of the pollinator in Amsterdam that's how milla does hers. just my . O two
