Hot heel bubble hash - a turtorial

i tried a new pressing technique. i think i may stick with this one.


needed:

small mason jar - 1/2 liter

vacuum sealer bag

oven

fully dried and sifted bubble hash

feet







i start by drying my sifted hash until fully dry. it should feel like sand.

once fully dry i place it in the mason jar and pre-heat the oven to 140 degrees.

once the oven is heated i place the jar in the oven on the middle rack for about 10 mins. i then remove the jar and using my thumb and fingers i press the hash against the inside of the jar. i do this until the hash molds together. it is very soft when warm at this point but becomes hard and crumbly as it cools. i had to heat it and press it in the jar 3 times to get it to form into a single handleable piece.

i cut a small piece of vacuum sealer bag and sealed one end to make an envelope.

after the piece has been formed it is put back into the jar and placed back in the oven for 10 mins. once removed it is placed inside the sealer bag and then stepped on with the heel of my foot on a hard tile floor. i use just the very end of the heel of one foot. i weigh 200 lbs. i move my foot around the edges first to keep it all from spreading out. once the edges are worked i then move to the center and work my way outwards. this takes about 10 to 15 mins per stomping.

once a pancake is formed it is placed back in the jar and heated. after it is removed from the oven i fold it over itself while warm.

i then form it into a block, put it in the sealer bad and stomp it again.

i continue this process over and over again. each time the hash because softer and stickier. what i am doing is actually bursting the trichome glands. by doing this i am decarboxylizing the THCA into THC. this hash is edible raw.

once it reaches the desired consistency, about 10 to 12 stompings on this piece, it is weighed and stamped. the patty is soft and bendable. it would shatter if dropped onto a hard surface. it will stick to my hand when turned upside down. when heat is applied it melts and bubbles. good stuff. :blsmoke:

great post, time consuming process though but it seems worth it, what is the texture like when eating?

Fuckin hell man 362 grams of bubble hash i got 5g from trimmins and some buds from 5 plants that stuff goes for £40-50 pounds a gram here about $100

How much bud does it take to make that much is the 10.% rule far off

Very nice post. Did you get the original bubble hash using bubble bags, water and ice; or just shake the tricomes in a screen?

And an easier way to do the same thing (which I've only read about) is to take a jewlers vice to press. It heats up and acts as a vice at the same time.

I wanna come over for pancakes. I'm curious, too. To get a ball like that, how much plant matter did you need to have?

Im guessing plants rather than follage haha

average id get 1.5g per plant 3-4foot plants follage only

Its 10% back from what you put in add up the grams 90% and the answer will not be far off im sure ... i wish i had it bubble hash is the nicest gear u can buy :hump:

i don't know. i'm scared to try. it supposed to be much more intense and last up to 8 hours. :neutral: just like eating edibles i would assume.

when you make bubble hash the resin glands are "raw". the THC must be activated. you need heat to activate it. the bursting of the glands and the heat together change the THCA to THC. THCA is THC with an extra atom attached to it. you need to release this atom to feel the full effects of the drug.

Very informative post, i'm on the fence right now as i have an ever-growing freezer full of trim and access to both a honeybee extractor and bubble bags. I was leaning towards oil but you've made a strong case for the hash. DAMN THESE CHOICES!!!
Anyhow you're an inspiration to this grower. Keep up the good work!!!

I like honey oil but its just to strong for me to smoke the way i like to its good 4 1 here and 1 there , bubble hash has a nicer taste and you dont fall asleep every time you take a good smoke at it

yeah.. thats a real impressive post there... with the scientific diagrams and all.... and i understand that bursting/heating the resin glands would make the hash edible, but.... dont u get the same effect when the hash is heated when smoked? i mean, if i didnt heat, and press my hash, all the thca would turn be activated when the heat is applied to smoke it correct?

ive seen ALOT of your hash.. and it all looks fuckin wonderful.. but i want to know why you favor this method? it seems like alot of work compared to just running the trim/buds threw some bubble bags then just letting it dry and press it...
does it have a better taste? better consistency?
i may give this a try to find out for myself on my next batch of hash...
2 more weeks and ill have a bunch of material to work with..

great post fdd.. Hashtastic as always

oh.. and i have a question for u... beings that u are the Hashiest person ive come across, i wonder if u have any info on how to make "budder" ...
a friend of mine was just telling me about some canadian guy named Hashking or something who makes this stuff called Budder, that is supposed to be 99.3% THC or some rediculous number...

im sure this would be FAR more elaborate than some bubble hash... but im always up for an adventure...

do u have any idea what im talkin about? because ive never heard of this stuff before.

when you eat it it passes thru your liver. when you smoke it it goes to your lungs. this is why you get different effects. yes, sm0king it will activate the THC.

different hashes have different consistencies when finished. when this batch was dry it was not very pliable. the trim used was too dry. you need a little bit of moisture within the glands to keep them "sticky". if the trim gets over dry then the hash will need to be heated and pressed. i could have heated and pressed it one time and called it good but by doing this repeatedly i have "homogenized" my patty. :blsmoke:
