Hashmaking...bubble now, dry sift or charas??

As some of you may know I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE hash. Next to finely cured cannabis tops its my favorite. I have been making pretty good quality iso hash for as long as I have been growing and have even made pakistani charas (a hand rolled hash) from my harvests.

So, I have been considering upping my hash making game and thought I would provide my RIU brothers vote on it.

So, should I buy a bubble now machine with filter bags, a dry sift set up or should I just focus on making it the old school, time consuming method?

Lets get some opinions and talk about quality going here.

Thanks in advance.

Bumpin this....c'mon people

Could you explain exactly what the charas method is
the only types of hash making i know of is through using butane and one using a bubble bag ??

i didt see this method but i use the iso method i get some really good hash but if you are going for quanity i would go with the bubble bag setup ive tried every method though and my fav is the iso

sorry i see the iso now in your thread i read right over it do u use your buds also when you make your iso my cousin sells some really good mids for for cheap and in between grows i usally buy about 4 to 5 zips and do the iso and i yeild about 25 to 30 grams a run and last about 2 months smoking it with my buds and trust me i love hash as much as you last month i used a half o of sour kush and got 4 grams of some killer killer iso and after i used the buds i will let the buds dry out and put them up for a rainy day

Sure, the charas method is probably one of the oldest methods for making hash. Basically, you harvest normally, trim fan leaves, leaving all sugar leaf intact. Dry normally, once dry you take branches and rub them between your hands (imagine your hands in the pray position) work your way from bottom to top, the trichomes sticks to you hands and the heavier plant material falls off. After a while you end up with hands caked in trichs, which you scrape off and collect. Its time consuming but uber traditional. I only learned of the method from my gf who is from pakistan and as she explains it, its been done that way forever in the region.

My iso hash is good, I go for quality and end up with something that is just a step below honey oil in terms of potency. I often have to freeze it because it melts as soon as you touch it and I use sugar leave and popcorn buds.

One reason I am trying to get away from iso hash is because I have questions regarding the possible left over chemical compounds from the iso. The various methods I have listed will all produce 1st quality hash, its just a matter of work vs reward and efficient use of funds vs longevity and production capacity.

well, you dont trim any buds off, just the fan leaves, so its nearly the entire mature plant with excess stem and all fan leaves removed, just the stems, buds and sugar leaf remain on the branch when you start collecting.
