and put that into freezer before
break up buds if they are big ish
Hey nick thanks for your reply I’ve watched a few videos that mention putting in the freezer. Would you advise putting the dry trim in the freezer before doing the the dry ice process? If that’s correct how long would you say it needs to be in there for? Sorry for the questions I’m a total newbie to hash making

Anyone have pics of theirs?
I’ve heard nothing but bad about doing this mostly that it beats up the plant matter too bad maybe I just been around the wrong ppl?

i’ve never done it that way but my friend does.,
yes your right about the contaminate, that you want to try to keep to a minimum.
less shaking, try to be gentle shaking?
that’s the part you’ll have to learn by trial and error.
only use a little at first.

how did it work out?
hey nick sorry for the late reply but it worked out really well!! i got some bags from bubble bag dude company. i used trim and a bit of bud but i was apeshit with sugar leafs only....didnt get no contamination, shook lightly didnt let it show any green was looking like sand got around 5oz. probably could of got alot more but i was kinda limited with dry ice, next time id certainly order more dry ice and use less shake in the bag i was putting around 3oz in at a time which i think was way to much and kind of a waste.... buttt overall it was good stuff worth having ago!

hey dex, im yet to upload a photo ill post in a few hours. i see why you say that but aslonng as your only using sugar leafs and dont shake for ages then there wont be any plant matter in there, i know someone that done it that didnt give a shit about there trim was probably more non sugar leafs than sugar leafs and his hash was like really dark and green + he shaked for 5/7mins i only shaked for 2 mins. I think using the wrong micro bags has something todo with plant matter too i used the finest bag in there and it was like fine blonde sand

I used dry ice and bubble bags, 45, 90, 120, with both fresh frozen and dry. In both cases I ended up with a nice looking collection of trichomes but one big fault. The would not roll, not enough sticky to make them hold their shape even when heating. I am blaming contamination as I think the CO2 may have allowed the weed to break up into small enough pieces to go through the mesh.
I ended up making some Green Dragon with an ounce of pure bud and 200 proof alcohol. I kept dropping the alcohol onto the collection and letting it dry. I rolled it up and now it holds its shape. Have not tried it yet as I wanted it to cure for at least a couple of months.

mmm not sure about that, should keep the oil separate, least you know that should be good..
using dry ice is use the weed at room temp and remove all leaf material that you can and only shake up and down like 3,4,5 times that’s it., dry ice will break that material up quickly.

I ran a few runs using both fresh frozen and dry, both almost completely buds. Yeah the dry ice let me smash the nugs with no effort but I did shake it more than you say. I was judging by color and stopping if I say any green. This stuff wouldn't bind together regardless of the mesh size I was using. I have just grown a plant that allows me to take a cured bud, bang it on a mirror, collect trichomes and roll it up into a stick ball. The worst part is I didn't keep records and only know it is one of two batches of seeds and appears to lean Sativa.
The Green Dragon is only a quick ethanol wash made for grins but it seemed to make something interesting. Can't wait to find out.

keep trying you’ll get the hang of it soon than maybe you can teach me a few things!

I made dry ice hash for the past 5 years using a 220 micron bag and pelletized dry ice. I use about 4 pellets of dry ice and add it to about 1/2 oz buds in plastic bowl and let buds freeze for about a minute. Then I dump ice and buds in mesh bag and shake lightly for about 2 minutes. I surround my shaker area with a cardboard box to contain cloud of CO2 and kief then scrape kief together with card and weigh up the trichomes. Can easily be pressed into pucks for many months of storage but never had pucks last that long.

This happens when your purity is down. Or if your plant was harvested before heads was ripe.
I just posted a pic of some starting material in a thread I started yesterday on sifting. There you can see how the stalks of the trichome are even considered a contamination when working sift.

With water you can use the vortex you create to break trichomes off...then use the sprayer and bags to further sieve.

On screens people use cards or hands or brushes to work the contamination.

I don’t have the answer to doing better with dry ice but I would think shorter times period. Again tho your getting stalks etc with the trichome...you only want the heads.

What is weird is, it was great smoke. Going to rehydrate about a pound of old weed and try some bubble. Thanks for the input.
