Do I freeze my trimmings to make hash later?

**Hogweed** · 29-05-17, 06:35 PM

Sorry guys, doing things in a big hurry here… basically, I’ve just harvested my plant. I have people coming to look at my house tomorrow, so I wanted to get all traces safely away – smell etc.

Trichomes have been milky for weeks, and it’s been well flushed etc. So I’ve cut all the “branches” off, trimmed leaves off etc, and am going to hang the branches up to dry somewhere.

Question is… I've put all the stems with buds on them to one side, but the leaves and everything I’ve cut off have nearly filled a bucket, and they’re quite sticky with resin, so it would seem a terrible waste to put them on my compost heap. I’ve started reading about bubble hash etc, sounds quit interesting, but as I say I’ve run out of time.

Can I freeze the leaves etc? If so, do I need to wet them in the freezer bags? Threads I’ve seen elsewhere seem to suggest this.

Just need a quick pointer at this stage – how to preserve them for later when everything’s calmed down! I can study proper techniques later, at my leisure…

Oh… and should I just put the little buds that grow along the stems (is that what you call “popcorn”?) in with the trimmings, or dry them on the stems?

Thanks guys

dunno if you have a vac bag machine,but i just vacuum bag the lot and freeze for later use,i do it fresh with no problem but ive seen dry stuff done with no problems as well.

if no vacuum then i would squeeze out as much air as possible ,seal securely and try that,maybe double bag it perhaps.

Would require a cure idealy but I didn't bother with the trim, just dried it and got it into an air tight container, 3 ounces jarred with another 1 oz to come(from 4 plants). I'll be adding an oz and a half of cured bud too it once it's finished. It would mean drying instead of freezing today though. There is a butane method which can work with frozen trim/bud but the linked method is the one I've familiarised myself with. No good for non frosty fan leaves though.
