Check out google for gumby hash making...
Very little needed to produce some decent hash...
Hey tkadm30...
Should have put you onto (sadhu sams hash extraction method )first....very very simple.
Large bottles water and bud all thats needed.(plus we added a little ice)
First read about it in Robert Connel Clarkes EXCELLENT book HASHISH! ....a must have if you love hash....
Have tried posting a link but still battling trying to figure out how to upload photos and links...
Google it ....
This is how I got started...you cant go wrong...with real basic equipment.
Hope this helps and you get some good smoke
Breaking /grinding up dense buds will help..but not to fine.
Keeping everything cold will help seperating the resin glands off the plant material (cold water and ice)
Plastic coffee filter will work to drain off water so long as its not too coarse that resin can pass thru (I used a piece of fine silk cloth on my first go for this )
Leave resin mass to dry overnight in airtight container in freezer before chopping/grating/breaking up as fine as possible to dry again for a few days to a week on some parchment paper or cardboard
Once completely dry you can smoke as is or pressed and cured for a few weeks for a smoother smoke .
NEVER press when wet...you dont want your GOLD to MOLD !!
.....check out threads on frenchy cannolli ...hash hero of note...so much knowledge shared freely
Best of luck....
Happy hashin....
Freeze the buds first, it will help knock off the triches when you agitate the buds in the ice water. I used polyester mesh from my days of doing silk screen for making bags. I forget the mesh size, but I only had 2 sizes and they worked fine. More multi-filtering is not needed IMO. So what is there is some green in there?
After doing a few runs of making ice hash, I went back to ethanol extraction and hand dry screening through the same poly mesh. Better IMO, if for no other reason than water is not the best thing to add to weed (as mentioned above, rot is always an issue). And the ice method is messy. Actually they are all messy though. I wish I could grow enough ladies here to make hand rubbed Malana cream hashish. Then have young naked women run through the ripe blooming plants and then scrape them off with a plastic scraper and hand work the hashish to create hashishine. One can dream, yes? Also scissor hash is always potent as all fuk. I hate trimming, but I like smoking gummy finger scissor hash.
