I’ve always mixed my solution with a rigid plastic paint stirring attachment on my drill, beating the hell out of it in fact, and thereby forcing extreme amounts of contaminants through the screens, never achieving full melt status. Because I was starting with garbage material to begin with I never would have achieved full melt status, but had I started with fresh frozen buds I still would not have gotten there. This is another critical step in the process that I’ve overlooked historically. In the water it’s time to agitate the trichomes from them. To catch your full melt at 90, 73, and possibly 45 micronsĭepending on varietal. Has well-constructed screens that are accurately labeled Ice and fresh buds in the bags, buckets or bowls, whateverīrand or composition you prefer. Water time leads to decreased terpene profile. Andīe sure to minimize exposure time to water as increased Your desired fruits from plant matter and contaminants. Ice since it is your work horse, both freezing and separating Scraping trichomes from the plant matter. Ice crystals is more jagged and better suited to agitating and Have you ever noticed cloudy ice? It is a result It can be as an agitator, so start with ice that is shapedĪccordingly. The more jagged the ice the more effective

More triches from their host while also producing a cleanerįinished product. Is, cloudy, rough, bigger chunks of ice tend to separate This process – type of ice, shape, texture, consistency. There are many schools of thought pertaining to ice in But even if you have fresh material, it is still critical to pay close attention to detail, starting with your ice. Starting with the finest, freshest product will ensure your likelihood for success. This material was simply not rich enough in trichromes and was typically older, drier, broken-down material allowing contaminants to find their way into the finished product. This was my first and biggest problem as a young processor trying to make the most of trim and popcorn. That said, you should be sure to break up your fresh buds to expose as much of the trichomes as possible before mixing with ice and water. Live plant matter is simply less likely to break down into fine particulate that might find its way through your screens. Full melt bubble hash can only be achieved by starting with fresh, preferably frozen buds. Will never achieve full melt bubble hash from this starting material. Trichomes from your trim and leaf matter. Sure, ice water extraction is a great method to recover So what have I been doing wrong all these years?

The subsequent, trichome-rich water is then filtered throughĪ series of increasingly finer mesh bags to further isolateīulbous heads and capitae stalks accordingly. Separate and isolate them from the floating plant matter. Them from the plant and allowing gravity and the water to Ice acts to freeze and agitate the trichomes, thus removing Plant matter floats in water whereasĭense trichomes sink to the bottom of the solution. Furthermore, I haven’t been higher in over 25 years of smoking, so I am excited to share what I learned so you can see for yourself what a huge difference a little attention to detail brings to the equation.įor those of you not familiar with the process of makingīubble hash, you simply mix plant matter, ice, and water It should be noted that this conference took place at the Hyatt in downtown Vancouver, a non-smoking hotel/conference room, which we shamelessly blazed down for two consecutive days without incident. This is where Marcus grabbed the wheel and took me to school for 30 minutes or so, sharing the trichome gemstones which I am about to share with you, so that you too can enjoy the beautiful and dynamic headspace of full melt bubble hash. “Bubble hash dabs? I’ve been making bubble hash for 18 years, why isn’t my bubble The ice water extractįrom the Bubbleman himself, TERP dipped and blonder than I had ever seen, melted “Bubble hash dipped in Chem Dawg terpenes” Marc replied. To him and was immediately offered a dab of almost exclusively glandular trichome In the back corner of the event hall, full of elaborate, professionallyĭecorated booths–at an unassuming, unmarked, 8-foot table sat Marcus with a suitcase, dab rig and torch. It was this time last year in fact, I drove to Vancouver, British Columbia for aĬannabis event. High quality, full melt bubble hash I smoked in Canada last year.
