Waste Not...

One thing I'm consistently impressed by is how much cannabis product there is to be had at every stage of processing. Very little of the what you're producing is getting tossed into the trash / compost without being heavily processed for our use.

Just yesterday, I took some trim from my plants and made it into bubble hash. While I was doing this, I cleaned the tools and bubble bags in 99% ISO alcohol. I strained the alcohol and tossed it into a Pyrex dish in front a fan, with the drying bubble bags, and this morning I've got some halfway decent ISO hash scraped off the dish. Eventually I'll dry sift the trim from my other strain, and then both that dry sift and the bubble hash will be pressed into hash rosin. Hell, maybe I'll run the stuff I've dry sifted through the bubble machine after that. Some people even save the pressed rectangles of weed for making edibles, but I'm not bothering (yet, maybe I'll eventually wish I'd been holding onto my patties).

No real point I guess, just thinking how cool it is how much use we get from our crop. Even the crap we use to clean our tools can be turned into some not awful hash (though I would be pissed if I paid for this particular ISO hash, haha). Anyone have any cool ways to reclaim product I missed/

Where are all you people in the fall? 30 gallon bags of trim, stems and a half dozen or so rootballs in the 5 gal range. Most is composted. I like tea from leaves of mid lower for a relaxing and slightly pain reducing tea. But man I toss a ton of potential here. People want buds or infusions from them here.

You gotta wash that trim, man! You'd come away with a ton of hash, I'm drooling just thinking about it.

I had a couple rootballs that I had washed and dried on a table on my patio I was going to play around with. But I was cleaning the other day and forgot why they were there and tossed them in my compost pile. I guess I'll have to wait a month for my next harvest to collect more. I'm looking at using them in a topical.

That’s exactly what this woman does with mine. Makes salves. She also uses some of the males people thin.
