Keep the mixer well out of the water as this can be dangerous. I suggest using a hand mixer for all those that don't want to play with electricity. Let the mixture sit for 10 to 15 minutes after mixing to allow the gland heads to settle. Once this bag has settled for half an hour you can pull it out, being careful to not let small pieces of leaf into your bags underneath it. From here we settle the bags for half an hour. This allows the resin glands to sink down, now that they have been broken free from their cannabis wombs.
They sink down in the water and fall through our series of screens. The first to be pulled will be the blue bag. Containing all the leaf material, you can do one of two things here. A: dump the contents into your compost , or B: save the washed material in order to run again another day.
We recommend throwing it away once you have gotten used to the process of using the Bubblebags. It is important to now flip your work bag inside out and rinse it off completely with cold water.
Doing this immediately after emptying is important. Then leaving it out to dry is important as well. Folding this bag up wet will produce dry rot and ruin your bags over time. Pull the blue bag and allow it to drain back into the bucket. For a higher quality extract, simply do not squeeze it out.
This is to keep contaminants, which floated to the surface, from entering your herbal extract. We recommend not squeezing this bag into the next one. Pulling the second bag, the u, we will drain it back into the bucket and look to see what is on the screen. As it is sometimes has a decent resin, we use a simple bowl method to gather the resin. If you can, use a large salad bowl to wrap the bubble bags around the bowl, inside out, in order to stretch the screen for easy glandular removal.
We see that it is almost all contaminant. You don't have to be an expert to see that its green, and grainy looking not much like what we want at all. The herbal extract from the micron bag can be used for cooking, or discarded. The resin is easily scraped off with a spoon and some water by stretching the bag over a bowl like this. We use the bowl method once again to get rid of this resin as it's minimal and not worth keeping.
Using the bubble water is great for pooling the resin into one section of the screen. Place the bag inside out in the large bowl, and push down on the middle of the screen, allowing the resin to naturally go into that pool.
Sprinkle gently with water. We can clean the spoon off inside the rest of the weed bubble bags that are waiting to be pulled. This will trap all the left over resin we couldn't get off inside the next bag. A nice trick to know. This is always a fun bag to pull no matter what strain you are using.
However, your profile can mix it self up and end up in different size gland heads — depending on the strain, the best quality herbal extract can be found in the 90 micron, 73 micron, 45 micron, or 25 micron bags. We can never predict, and have seen interesting things since we started making this many years ago now. This is a simple thing to remedy, just cinch the bag at the top and jerk it upwards about three inches, then let it drop.
This will allow the water to drop through while the resin is lifted in the air off the screen. This resin up close shows right away that it is of top quality. These photos show really well how cleaning the spoon in the bucket saves you a lot of resin. This strain is well known for its alcohol soluble terpenoids, a strain that will thrive in the breeding world of water hash enthusiasts.
With 1 ounce of high quality dried and cured cannabis flowers in a 1 gallon bubble bag set, you can expect somewhere between grams of hash. The rule of thumb for calculating wet fresh frozen weight to dry air cured weight is Read more about yields in our article on Average Bubble Hash Yields.
It's better to err on the side of using less material for the size of your bags than overcrowding the material in bags that are too small. If you've got a lot of material to put through 1 or 5-gallon bags, you can always split up the material and run multiple washes.
How many grams in one pound? There are about grams in one pound. What is the least amount of cannabis you can wash for bubble hash? You can wash as little as one ounce of cannabis material, but most people will wait until they have several ounces of material. What happens if you try to wash too much material in your bubble bags? If you crowd the bubble bags with too much material, it will be difficult to effectively remove all resin glands from the cannabis. It's better to leave extra space in your wash bags than not enough space.
Should you use trim or whole cannabis flowers for washing hash? Either type of material is fine, as long as it's covered in trichomes! The most potent form of bubble hash is called "full melt bubble hash," which consists of pure trichome heads. This requires a long, thorough filtration process achievable only with special equipment. But in exchange, you get the purest, strongest product possible.
More potent concentrates require solvents to separate cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant material. These extraction methods include things like butane, alcohol, and CO2. However, bubble hash is a solventless concentrate. It only requires cold water or water and ice depending on personal preference to separate the plant trichomes. The water evaporates as your kief dries. One great thing about bubble hash or hash in general is that you have plenty of consumption options.
Some concentrates require special tools, like concentrate pens or rigs. But bubble hash works well with any conventional smoking method. If you don't have access to hem fiber, you can use dried flower instead of hemp fiber. However, this affects smoothness and flavor. It's not a huge problem if you use low-quality bubble hash, but if your product is high-quality, you're better off investing a few bucks for hemp fiber.
Using water and ice over chemical solvents isn't just about safer consumption, though. Tap water and ice are easily accessible, as is the required equipment for making bubble hash.
We'll go over a basic how-to in a moment. But before we do, it's important to understand how bubble hash is made. There are many methods available, but the one we'll cover provides a good balance between efficiency and simplicity.
Again, water and ice are the keys here. The bud is agitated within a large container of ice and cold water, making the trichomes brittle. As a result, they break off more easily as the dried flower gets mixed around. It's possible to use cold water alone, as long as it's as frigid as possible. The ice simply helps maintain the low temperature.
Cool or room temperature water won't make the trichomes brittle enough to break off effectively, reducing your potential yield. If all goes well, the plant matter floats as its trichomes settle into a system of filter bags bubble bags below. To separate the remaining plant material from your kief, you use bubble bags to collect the kief. These bags are stacked on top of each other, with mesh size decreasing as you go further down. Screen sizes are measured in microns, with the smaller, finer screen sitting at the bottom.
This allows the kief to become purer as it makes its way down. The first bag contains your plant matter, so its contents get discarded or set aside for cooking. Consequently, the kief you collect from every subsequent bag will gradually become finer. The mesh hole sizes are measured in microns. For instance, this kit starts with a micron bag to capture large plant material, while a 25 micron-bag at the very bottom collects the finest particles.
Once the kief is collected, it's time to remove it from the bags. The hash will be in chunks when you first collect it. Drying methods vary, but the best option is to freeze-dry the hash, as this prevents mold. We'll describe the process in greater detail soon. Enough buildup. Now that we understand what bubble hash is and how to make it, it's time to put that info into action.
As we said, there are other ways to make bubble hash at home, some of which require minimal effort or equipment. However, you'll end up with an inferior product - and we're not interested in giving bad advice. The following method requires little equipment, which means you don't need much if any experience to start making bubble hash. The material you'll need depends on how pure you want your hash and how much you want to make. If this is your first time, it's best not to get in over your head.
You can always crank up the difficulty with some more practice. Also, keep in mind the micron bag sizes listed here aren't written in stone. As long as you start with a large size at the top and a finer one at the bottom, you're good to go. For today, we'll use four bubble bags. Grinding removes some of the trichome heads you need, which means you will lose a lot of potential kief before it even hits the ice water. Place the 5-gallon bucket on an even floor.
Put the micron bag in first, securing it around the rim of the bucket, just like a garbage can bag.
