I will be making hash from my current grow with dry ice.Do I have to buy a compresser or is there another way to press it.:smoke:
 
here is my take on the dry ice hash... it not as good as ice hash...why?

because,

1. its not fresh frozen weed.:booya:(you can do small amounts)
2. in all cases plant cell bodies are weakening your batch.:no:
3. compression with a 20 ton jack don't turn it black.:2cents:
4. smell is not like hash.:cry:
5. color.:no:

So...make some for your heady fine:thumbs:... but if your looking to send it down the road then go for ice water extraction..not dry.:2cents:

Now the smoke, if you smoke it "fluffy" then it seems to retain a little better flavor, but smoke strange and the last hit is nasty.. Leads to canoes in reefers(much rather have a bead of hash)... and compressed..... when compared to good black hash there truly is no comparison.

Now I'm sure someone will disagree... but thats my take and everyone is entitled to there own opinion.:thumbs::peace:

So if you do need to send some dry ice hash down the road...simply call it blond hash.
 
there has to be a thread here... its simple freeze your clippings or buds wet... put in a bucket or trash can depending on how much you have use lots of ice..like a mixed drink...mix with a hoe strain thru bags...

I'll have to do a tutorial, if you cant find one...
 
From reading Robert Connell Clark's book, HASHISH! I've learned a bit about proper pressing. Besides pressure, mild heat is also required to properly press hash and make it stick together. Most of the finest hash is still hand rolled and pressed. The heat from friction warms it enough that some of the trics break down, making it sticky and better able to hold together. That process is also what changes the color of the hash. Many of the middle eastern hash makers will warm their trics first before placing in a mechanical press. Many use steam but caution has to be used in order to not introduce too much water into the process as that can spoil the hash. It is also very important that the kief be low in vegetable matter. An excess of vegetable matter will prevent the hash from sticking together properly.
