Do I need to cure the trim first? Or put in the oven?You dont need any fancy equipment for smaller amounts. Put bud/trim in five gallon bucket with ice water and stir, switching directions every minute or so, until the ice is mostly melted. Then pour the ice water and bud/trim mixture into your bags like Frenchy shows in the video and the rest is the same. I do this last part in the shower so that I have access to the shower head for spraying and the open drain for run off. You are only going to get a small fraction of hash compared to the weight of the material you started with using the ice water method, probably between 5-10% and thats after a few washes. So if you start with an ounce expect between 1.4-2.8 grams, maybe a little more if you bud/trim is particularly potent. You can continue to do more washes but they have significantly diminishing returns after the first few. The other option I mentioned earlier is to dry the washed bud and further process it with dry ice.
When using the dry ice method I can usually extract 20% or more of the weight of the starting material into some nice hash. Out of an ounce I can easily pull over 5 grams in about 10 minutes where it could take over 5 hours to get maybe half as much per oz using the ice water method. You can do either method with pretty much any amount but I would recommend staying between 1 and 4 ounces when using these standard size hash bags.
