Small scale ice hash attempt - Making use of trim from 1 plant.

[Groen]

Checklist

Trim - I forgot to weigh mine but I had trim for 1 Auto Roadrunner that I recently harvested, I'd take a guess that I used 10-15g of trim.

A 5 Litre bottle and a bag of ice.

At least 1 more liquid container, preferably something tall and thin.

A turkey baster and a pipette

A sieve

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, I started by filling my 5l bottle up approximately 1/3 full with ice then added 1l of water and my trim.

I put the lid on the bottle and shook for around 15 minutes.

I then tipped the solution into another container through a sieve to catch the ice cubes and trim. I left this to settle for 4-5 hours.

I put mine into a 2 litre bottle with the top cut off first because it was the only thing I could find big enough, I left that to settle for 4 hours then siphoned off most of the water.

I then tipped the remaining resin/water into a flat bottomed glass jar.

I left the to settle for another 4 hours then siphoned off most of the water with a pipette and tipped the last of the resin/water into a narrower bottomed glass.

I left that for another 4 hours then siphoned off as much of the water as possible with a pipette then tipped the remaining resin/water onto some foil and left over night, I put it into my grow tent for a couple of hours when the lights came on in the morning and the water dried straight up.


Leaving me with this :)

I rolled the resin into a ball and left to dry for a little while longer.

Not much but better than nothing, I haven't smoke it yet but will report back :)




Cheers for looking, I hope it's of some help to anyone wondering what to do with the trim from 1 plant. Enjoy!

nice one huni :D smoke report please :D

[humblepie]

fair play mate. nice to see it done on such a small scale, i might av to giv this agoi come harvest time.
make sure you tell us how it smokes :bong:

[CockRoach]

Groen well done mate summins better than nuffin eh chap

[cannamancan]

quality little cheap way of doing it , nice 1 , what kind of seive did u use?

I used a normal kitchen sieve, for sieving flour.


Cheers people, It was really easy and I did enjoy the process :)

A good mate and I garnished a bong of the Roadrunner weed each with the hash earlier tonight. I was already pretty baked by this time but, for the small amount we had, It definitely gave a heavier, head squeezing stone that you get with decent hash and had that distinct earthy hash taste.

Definitely worth while doing :)

[cannamancan]

a kitchen seive , lmao im a stoned dick , when u said seive ffor some reason i was thinkin of them u see in garden centres , duhhhh.

[The Ashman]

Def gonna have to try this when im ready.

[Hooter]

i will be doing similar hopefully in December



lot of work for a wee bit but what the fuck why not LOL

[scoot]

Cheers just harvested 2 speed devils will try this on sat while I wait for the buds to dry :)

[Bluetop]

awesome mate i got around 2 ounces of fresh frozen trim not sure if i should do this or bho
i love my bho but have never tried gumby/bubble hash

also if anyone knows when making bho is frozen or dry trim best

[pedro sanchez]

Going to do this cum harvest cheers bro!

[alwaystoned_1]

frozen fresh trim is best for gumby hash not to sure with bho

[Neph]

This is a perfect example of classic Gumby Hash.

Though tbh you shouldn't of let it in light so much and definitely shoudln't have put it under your grow light to dry, as thc get broken down by light.

If anyone plans on doing this in the future makes sure not to leave it in light, it'll keep your hash stronger.



And to Alwaystoned, I don't think it matters as much with bho as the butane dissolves the trichs where as with gumby they don't dissolve in water so you need to chill them and break them free of the plant matter.

[halczy]

does this work the same with male plants?

[HighGrade88]

love this thread, im defo gonna try this small scale method, perfect for me as i only do one plant at a time :)

[druggz]

could i throw all trim into ice/water even ones without any thc on them as got a bucket full of trim all mixed together with each other now ? And is a tea seive good enough them little small ones you put over a cup of tea ? Think il try it too as was gonna throw them away today until i read this

[mrx36]

i know someone who used dry ice to do this. it's about the temp to get the trichomes to separate. there's a lot less wait time since you don't have to wait for anything to dry. i had this explained step by step. do it in a drink mixer and then start sifting. the trouble for me was (i think) finding the right sifter/silk screen. i suspect mine was too small and i prolly created skuff, instead. perhaps this intel will be more useful for others. as for me: i think i'd go bubble, like you/he did, next time, but still use dry ice to carve out some wait time/mix time, prior to the takin out the ice and debris left overs. moral of the story. try with dry ice next time n see if u do any better. the good news is, when you're done, u can surround your grow (best for light cycle in flowering stage) with the pellets and you'll be gassing your plants for a couple days and be doin it in a low budget manner (dry ice=co2 in solid state).

[mrx36]

yes, throw it all in. even males you're gonna toss, if u have to work with em. i wasn't successful, but the whole plant contains "it". you're just separating it with cold. i was able to find screen sizes when i googled for it. i think the cannabis grow bible had the count, as well, but i went with a grease screen with the big stuff and failed with the gold coffee filter (think it was too small, but regardless, what came through didn't smoke well. i'm told to dry the leaves, first. i think the dry ice may cut out that part, but ask around to verify. sometimes bad intel can be useful, too (what not do to) so i'm listing it anyway. hope it helps. just don't expect a lot from the males, but they do still contain some thc. if it were worthwhile (on a small scale), there'd be a market for leaf and not bud.

You might be better off making honey oil, using butane to extract the THC.

Thanks for a great thread! Will be very useful in a few weeks :)
