trichromes and terpins why do some strains yeald alot of hash and some do not

Others are going to wonder. What type of hash are you making? Bubble bags? If bubble bags what size bags are you using? explain your process as well, you might not be agitating enough or using too warm of water, ect.

Genetics simple.

Damn, As much as Id like Sub to reply to one of the numerous threads Ive posted about him, Id be pissed if I got that answer... I Know hes a busy man and I respect that . But he has a fan base, I just hope if we ever speak hes not short with me.. I mean shit, We spend good money on his pollen

In all reality the information is out there, im sure its even been answered ten's of times on these forums alone. So if he was to give the answer that it all depends on what type of strain (indica/sativa) having different size trichs, some having more than others and a huge list of other things. He could answer in full detail with a couple of paragraphs but then a month down the road someone will ask the same question without doing any research into it before asking and he would have to either write it all over again or find his old post and link or copy/paste it. Kinda gets annoying and i assume hes had to do that for the last few years. Ive actually read some of sub's posts before where he talks about different strains giving different amounts of hash because of their size of trichs (i think in his bubble video he talks about it too).

That being said, yes he was short answered with the guy and its not the best customer service especially to someone who says hes been running his gear for 4+ years. But i still chalk it up to the subcool having to answer the same questions over the years when hes said it a million times and all it would take is a few minutes of searching which would lead to the answer and more valuable information on the subject. Reminds me of when i worked in retail, people ask you for something and you constantly have to answer "Oh its right here" when its two feet from their face and act nice to them because they cant take a few seconds of common sense to find it, after awhile i wanted to grab their heads and smash them into the product.

His answer was right, it's the genetics that control the terpenes, trich formation, etc. Different plants, different genetics. Control the environment and grow conditions and the plant will maximize it's genetic potential. Not really sure what you're expecting...? Looks like he did miss answering whether Qush was good for making hash.

Actually it is a pretty good answer, it IS the genetics that determine hash production, amounts, quality and actual oil content etc.

Sativas have smaller trichomes then do Indicas, so you won't get as much hash from a female that has genetics, that are producing smaller sativa type heads of resin. Then you do with indicas that have bigger ones. And since there is a lot of intermingling with sativa and indica from people breeding it. You never what you may come up with.

The Thunderstruck clone for example, has larger resin heads, and is ideally suited for hash making. (The pictures not mine it's Mr. Wonder's)

Here's a shot, of the Thunderstruck clone on the left, and the Vito cutting on the right (This IS my picture). The Vito cutting was a slight herm, that produced my Wonderjacks cutting that I hold. Both plants were flowered in my fluroscent garden at about the same time and size. The Vito cutting is an example of small sativa type head hash, that doesn't produce much under HID lighting. But produces copiusly under fluroscent lights.

Genetics you must remember play a part under different light regiments, as much as the genetics themselves do.

First if you wanna make a bunch of hash you gotta find the phenotype that puts of the most amt of resin. Not two plants are the same you could have two of the same genetics. For example i had two chernobyls. One rotten mango smelling one that had a good bit of trichs and then another phenotype that was an earthy lime that was covered in trichs. The fan leaves where covered in trichs all the way to the tips on some leaves. The resin was just unbelievable on this plant. So which would you keep. if you where just making hash. Find yourself some phenos within the TGA that are freakishly covered in resin. Keep the clones. Clone the plant and keep it around grow a few at a time so you can get tons of trim. I love my hash man and thats what im in the process of doing now. Timewreck is a great hash strain from tga cause those plants are covered in resin. All plants are different with different resin head sizes. Just look at it like this a lady has three kids all look different but similar but one of those three kids is gonna have a bigger head and more brains.
