Ok, let's get this party started.
First off , this is my genesis of Bubble and everything thing about it is meant to work for me.
FORE WARNED>>> FORE ARMED........

Today I am going to be using a total of 5 bags, 220... the sediment bag, everything starts from here and steps down in screen size. 150... base grade hash, 75... very good grade, 45 and 20... I combine these 2 into 1 ball.

To process I'm using 20 ibs of ice and a variable speed drill with a paint mixing nose. Lots of ass to get the job done. 3, 5 gall buckets and a slash bucket of water for rinces completes the cast. Oops and me.

Zigzagman · #6 (**permalink**) 03-12-2009, 04:44 PM

Take that last bucket up there and see that 2 " layer of ice ? thow about 8 oz's on there and add ice til 2/3 filled.
If you're a wussy you can put a paint lid with a small hole cut out, over the bucket while your beating but, I like little messes. Drill down, clockwise, reserve, is coming up at you, nasty messy.
Ok, you got ice and dope, so let's beat this stuff hard for about 10 minutes, til it looks like that pic down there. This is a abrasion process between ice, beater blade and dope.

very nice zig thats alot of hash enjoy.

Time for water, pour in a couple qt's and beat til liquidly and loose water is the medium by which I flush the trichs off the slurry. Also water is a quick rinse to get the last of the juice out of each bucket.
Take 1 bucket and the 220 bag and prepare it like the pic, I take the mixing bucket and pour it into the bucket sleeved with the 220, carefully pick up the 220 bag and let it drain into the bucket. Be gentle but firm, shake that puppy and swirl. Put the 220 bag into bucket 3 . Now I got the juice from the 220 and from now on I'm calling it the juice. Take a clean bucket and stick the 150 bag into it and now pour the juice into the 150. Strain it and now you have hash on the bottom on the bag. WOW !!!!

Zigzagman · #10 (**permalink**) 03-12-2009, 05:16 PM

OK, now you take the bucket with the 150 juice and press it thru the 75 and then take that juice and process it thru the 45 and 20. That's a cycle of presses and when I'm done I take the juice back to the 220 bucket, then I remix those two with some fresh ice and restart the process. It a diminishing supply situation, I keep cycling thru til I don't get enough for the effort.
Be very careful with the bags cause any leak will ruin everything with sediment. Clean clean ,clean , rinse everything thing, every time, and be careful with your hair , it will get in there.

Zigzagman · #11 (**permalink**) 03-12-2009, 05:26 PM

I put the bags on a newspaper and that wicks the extra water down so I can take a new business card and use it for a palate knife to ease the hash off the screen. I throw the card away and use a fresh one every pull.
After 3 cycles and two batches of about 8-10 oz's each you end up with these golfballs. Tonight the golfballs come out of the press and the story continues.

Zigzagman · #12 (**permalink**) 03-13-2009, 08:56 AM

Now it's time to dry our yield. I put each lump into a Melita coffee filter and squeeze it with light pressure. then I take them and wrap in a fresh filter. Take a phone book, place 1" of newspaper on the phone book. Put your nuggets on the newspaper and place another 1" of newspaper on top. Put 2 phone books on top and press for about 12 hours. When you take them out they look like this. Now they will air dry for 3-5 days to finish the process. They will lose another 50% of their weight so by first measurement I should end up with 45 grams or so. I update the dry and weight next week.

ZigZagman !!!!

I do not know this process ! that is really great

if I can, I will test.. thank U !!!

Zigzagman · #14 (**permalink**) 03-13-2009, 06:30 PM

Thanks Daz, it is a simple process but repetitious, as much you have going, you could be making bowling balls. The product lasts forever and stores in a cookie tin, try it , you'll like it.

freaking right....i got about 3 pounds of dried trim and leaf im gonna try this out myself!

Mogie · #16 (**permalink**) 03-14-2009, 02:35 AM

Very nice looking hash. Mine is almost gone from last season's trimmings. Interesting way of making hash too.

Hea Kpin, the expected return is about 15% of weight so with 3 lbs you could be looking at 8 to 9 oz's of bubble.

Mogie, I saw hookers posts so I now,I don't have to preach anything to you. The main difference in my system is speed, ( using buckets ) and I only use the smallest amount of water that gets the job done.

jangel · #18 (**permalink**) 03-14-2009, 10:28 AM

I have every leaf etc from last season. BUT I am not strong enough to hold onto the drill as it goes around. We have one of those drill paddles and the drill that turns it. How would I do this, Zig? I guess a smaller drill. I will check it out anyway, as I have to use up those leaves. I must have 8 bags full and some in the freezer too. Plus some buds that kind of went over ripe. Will they work or no good?

Zigzagman · #19 (**permalink**) 03-14-2009, 11:05 AM

Hi Jangel, and thanks for stopping in. The drill should not a problem with the right paddle attached. They make bucket mounts to spin paint also, like a kitchen mixer, if you get the image. 1/4 inch drill is all I use, and I start with low rpm's. With that much stuff accumulated, what you need is a small band of volunteer's . I've processed about double this run before ( 4lbs ? ) and that was a 10 hour day that almost killed me. Have a party and share the load.

Happy St. Patrick's Day G.P.'ers, tis a beautiful day for the wearing and smoking of the green...

Update on Bubble...

It's been 5 days since extraction and no surprises here. The weight is down to 60 grams, and it's smokable now.
I broke off that chunk so you can see the consistency of the texture, no foreign crap in there. Final yield will be around 54 grams I reckon.

Smoke Report... The sample is off the 150# sieve. I've never done 150 before and was curious how close it is to 110/120 sieve ( my other bags ), truth is it tastes way worse but, it will rock your world, Seems every bit as potent, just more of that chloro flavor. It deviantly gives a greater yield than a 110 bag.... Serious body stone goes with it. Best comparison would be, hit for hit, it's like good NYC diesel, hit it too hard and you're going down.

All I want to remind you'll is, this stuff is made from dunnage, so you can't expect miracles. You can expect even your lowest grade to be as potent as very good bud, and it's free. It's my friend when things get thin and fun to share with others.

Happy St. patty's everyone, peace.

Edit Note: you can see the sparkles pretty well...
