The whole freeze-drying process is finished in just 24 hours or less. Freeze dryers also reduce the amount of oxidation that occurs. Less oxidation helps to maintain the original lighter colour of the hash. Air-dried bubble hash will generally have a darker colour due to oxidation. Bubble hash, is without a doubt, one of the purest forms of extraction among others. It may not have the strongest concentrate, but it’s definitely one of the most potent forms of extract because of the variety of terpenes it contains. If you had to add the 220 bag, lift that out before the next step. The 220 bag will remove the large bits of leaf and other plant matter. Keep this plant matter because you will run it through the whole cycle again. Bubble hash is very versatile. You can break off small pieces and mix it into joints, or place it on top of bowls for a slightly more crude method. If you choose to roll a bubble hash joint, remember to add it to the outside. Otherwise, the hash will burn slower than the flower and paper, and may autumn out before being combusted. Tip: I pointed a tiny fan (like this one) at the drying hash from about 5 feet away on the low setting. It’s not enough power to move the hash even when it’s dry, and the hash is completely dry and ready to use in a few hours!

Hash, short for hashish, is a concentrated form of cannabis. It is produced by collecting and compressing the most powerful material from the cannabis plant—the trichomes. Trichomes are the source of resin containing the cannabinoids, terpenes, and other precious phytochemicals in the plant. These tiny mushroom-like growths coat the leaves, branches, and particularly the buds, giving it a frosty white appearance. Bubble hash is easily vaporized. Since vaporizers allow for specific temperatures, users can find a relatively low temperature to extract the optimal flavor from bubble hash. Depending on the quality of bubble hash, a screen may be needed within the vaporizers’ chamber to adequately catch resin left behind. DabbingDabbing is the method of vaporizing concentrated cannabis through an “oil rig,” which looks similar to a small bong. Oil rigs differ by having a metallic nail that users manually heat with a mini-torch. In this blog, we'll take a look at what makes bubble hash so special, how to make it, and what are the best ways to consume bubble hash. I use a spoon myself. Never needed anything else. Tried a mixer and a drill with a brand new paint mixing attachment. I got too much plant material in the product. Sure..I got more product but it wasn't full melt due to all the plant matter. Bubble hash is safe to make since there are no flammable ingredients or chemical reactions when making it After the hash has been thoroughly dried it can be weighed for total yield. At that point yield percentages can be calculated, which is one of the most popular ways to report yield in bubble hash. Yield percentages are calculated by dividing the weight of the final yield by the weight of the starting material.

Once dry, the bubble hash can be stored in glass jars for as long as it lasts. The Relationship Between Water and TrichomesUse your mixer or drill on a low setting to mix up the ice water and cannabis for about 10 minutes. Keep in mind that you’re not trying to blend the mixture into some sort of smoothie, you just want to agitate the mixture to get the trichomes to fall off. Butane, propane, and other harmful chemicals are the principal solvents to displace THC from cannabis buds. It’s still not understood how long these chemicals stay in the human body, even if test results show that the concentrate has been adequately purged. If you are looking for a great return you will get better results with other types of cannabis extractions, such as BHO or Rosin, where you can exceed 20%. However, Ice O Lator can give you a return of between 12% and 15% by adding several turns to the same weed. First run complete! The next step is to do a second run with the same bag of plant matter. Yes, do everything again. You essentially want to repeat the entire process to get more hash that hadn’t been released yet. It was then “Sadhu Sam” of Santa Cruz, CA who popularized the method of extracting bubble hash from ice-water. It was from this point on that bubble hash began its rounds throughout the world because of its unique properties. The name bubble hash comes from the fact that small bubbles appear as it’s being smoked.

Then you can soak them in hot water, they’ll be as good as new in no time. If you rub them a little with your hands you will finish even earlier, it is a material that is very easy to clean. Bubble hash yield depends on many factors including the cannabis cultivar, the type of cannabis material being washed (fresh frozen or air cured), the number of times the material is washed, length of each wash, the method used to mix the cannabis material and ice water (machine washed vs hand stirred), and the amount of force used in mixing. Similar to the point above, more force used to mix the ice water and material can increase yields. But, this will come at the expense of quality if too much force is used. Excessive force/agitation pulverizes the plant matter and leads to more contaminants in the hash.It can be hard to predict yields if you don’t have a consistent washing process in place and you aren’t familiar with the cultivar you’re washing. Getting experience with the ice water extraction method and the cultivar you’re using is key. If you’re not able to hit the expected yield averages, try to improve your process. If that’s not working, you may need a new cultivar.

Let the machine sit for another 10 minutes afterward to let the trichomes sink to the bottom. Move on to the next step while you wait. You know the best part of ganja? It's not just the high. It's also the stuff you can make out of it. You’ll also need a spoon, card or other device to collect the resin from the mesh. A thermometer, which usually comes with the extraction kit. A couple of bottles of cold water prepared for later, and most importantly, the cannabis, which can be buds or cuttings, fresh or dry. The bubble hash is activated once cooking begins. Whether cooking a stew or a brownie, the heating process will actively decarboxylate the THC, thus making it psychoactive.The rule of thumb for calculating wet (fresh frozen) weight to dry (air cured) weight is 5:1. So if you get 4% wet, that’s equivalent to 20% dry.
