this has to be the easiest ways to make hash!!

this has to be the easiest way to make hash an it will cost you about 20 bucks....www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=47524

 

dude! - THAT is freaking awesome.

 

That dose seem to be a cool tool but dont forget that hash is not just pressed Herb. What is shown in the thread is a hash press not a hash maker. All the real work was done before the press was ever used. The clay extruder was used after the hash was made.

 

absolutely, but it's one of those things of 'I'm kicking myself for not having thought of it independently'

there's some pics in the thread of not just 'pressed herb' but also pressed bubble hash and the like...

 

I hear ya Brudda. I just didnt want any inpresionable young minds commin to the conclusion that all hash is, is pressed Herb. The thread didnt actually get into any hash makin tekneeks. I mighta missed it but I dont think it did. I usta use a press when I first started makin hash. I just put a hinged 2x4 on my bench. But as I got better and better at gettin all the crapp out I found that I didnt even need a press anymore. If you get most of the veg mat out of the trichs you can squish it into a glob with your hand.

 

true true, but there's something almost 'classy' about a little hash-puck, not to mention, it does make dosing a lot easier, standard quality and quantity and all that rubbish. if nothing else, it's a neat toy. I'd do the same with a short bit of brass pipe, a c clamp, a dowel and a couple of metal slugs, but then again, I'm a cheap bastard. lol.

woven through the conversation are mentions to hash, kief, bud, etc being pressed, so I can see how it'd be kinda confusing to the new and unknowing (unlike us)....so kiddies, here's the drill

what this is is a hash or kief pressing technique. It assumes you already have a relatively pure product to start with (with minimal grass bits)

hash is different from kief is different from pressed bud.

so here they are listed by 'general' purity

hash is generally as pure as you can get it, either through using bubble extraction, iso extraction or some other method.

kief are the broken off trichs and a bit of powdery leaf material

pressed bud (or pressed shake) is just that.

pure hash takes very little effort to press, like can said earlier, just done with finger pressure with the best stuff.

kief takes a bit of work, but has more of the weed's grassy notes, as it has more veggie matter, and pressed leaf or bud....is just gonna be basically what you'd put in your bowl anyway.

the more vegetable matter and the less trichs you have, the more difficult and more heat and pressure it needs to press into a tablet or puck.

IMO, the best hash is bubble hash, which doesnt' usually need a toy like this to press, but I could see this being a lot of fun and something to keep yoru hands busy as well as making measured amounts if you dose for medical or you're involved in money trade.

 

I like twizzlin pieces of hash into li'l hash pretzels an stuff. I got some pics of my hash at IC but I dont know how to linkem to here. I just thought of somthin. Il try puttinem in my computer and then somehow gettinem over here. If I can, Il postem in the hash forrum.

 

yeah, it's great to play with it, like clay, you know?

it's even therapeutic to make little balls or statutes and shit...lol

I've also known people to make like little figurines of hash, glaze it with a sugar/water wash, to make a shell, mix up food coloring, sugar, water, and a bit of flour to make paint, paint them and smuggle them that way. Do it right, they look like little china dolls. once you get where you're going you can chip off the hard shell, and there's your nice hash statue....kept nice and clean because of the hard ass sugar shell.

 

Hey Allrite! I got some hash pics from my gallery at IC and uploadedem over to here! There rite above this thread now in my "Simple hash makin principles" thread. Wow! This is cool. Now I know how to post pics here!

 

woot! nothing like viewable feedback for us visual learners!

 

Damn, I wish I had a camera so I can get pics of what I got goin on rite now. All I can post is older pics. When I get a camera, I might start a thread here bout my system.

 

dude, that is some nice looking hash...how much did you have to process to get that one rope?

 

The piece in my hand? Like I said, these are all old pics but I prolly started out with bout an oz + a bit to get that piece. I usualy wind up with bout 4 gr hash from 1oz of frosty bud trim. Not to shaby! It happens every other week too. I been puttin off startin a thread here cause I aint gotta camera yet. Those pics was from Philly. Im here in Cali now and startin back up! A total upgrade with the flower room. Back east my flower room burnt 1200 watts hps. Now Im runnin 2400 watts hps in flower! It took me a while to get it back together at my new place with my new shitt but I finaly got my first set of clones into my flower room wednesday. Im workin with Lavender rite now but I just been gifted some 05 Shack clones. Thats what I worked with back in Philly. I had the 02 version. Anyhow, I just got 4 beautyfull Shack cuts to work and I couldnt be happier! Sugar Shack has got to be the most potent and tasty smoke I ever had! Its almost like smokin hash itself. I shure do hope I get a camera soon, I might have to wait till first harvest tho. Mabey I can borrow one before then. I just posted a pic of my Shack in my basement in Philly, in the growing forrum. I had somma the most fattest, tastyest, monster buds Ive ever seen. The bud I posted was bout 6" wide! The piece of wood behind it wich was the side of my shelves, was 12" wide and as you can see the bud was bout half as wide! Theres a lighter next to it for referance too.

 

daaaammmn



:drool5:

:sifone:

 

Thank you my Brudda! Im gonna go monitor my quipment now. Il see if I can upload some more pics in the grower section later!

 

it looks like from what the guy did is that he ground it up and applied pressure and heat and some how got hash

 

I did read the thread (the whole thing, even) it's what would be considered 'low grade' hash, because it has a lot of vegetable matter in it. But even he says 'this isn't technically hash' (message #12), but (usual consensus states) the best hash is just the trichs that come off, whether it's pressed or not. It's like bubble hash is just the trichs with very little vegetable matter at all, frozen, so they separate more easily, and silkscreened. This is just a pressing method, although kudos to you for finding it. Hash is really and art form, and some people like a lot of green in it, and some people like it to be as pure as possible. No real shame in it, mind, but when one gets to the point where there's as much vegetable matter as trichs or thc extract, I'd personally be loathe to call it 'hashish'. I'd call it 'pressed vegetable matter mixed with hash', but that gets into semantics, I suppose.

I guess it could be left to wiser heads than mine, as, much as a lot of other things along this line, it's kinda subjective.

I guess I could always see what mr webster, or the britannia says about it, but that'd be nitpicking, which I'm in too good a mood to do. Eskimo, I do see your point, but say that the thread itself isn't really clear as being a defenitive source for what hashish is.

and again, kudos to you for finding this method, and if it works that well for stuff with such a high level of veggie matter, then it's gotta be pretty good for the 'best' grades (translate as 'purer'), which as can said earlier, can easily be moulded with fingers and body heat (one way you can tell good hash, is if it's soft and pliable after being at body temp for a little bit)

and I'm being longwinded, so I'll shut up now...lol
