[emoji362] The 3 plants I'm growing now will be Mephisto Mystery Moon Rocks!
The only way to get by around here is to have the most potent stuff they can find.
[emoji419] What you need.
Kief – also known as dry sift or pollen, is a concentrated form of cannabis. It’s made by removing the trichomes from the cannabis flower.
Trichomes – are the tiny crystal-like balls that form on the leaves of the cannabis plant. These crystals contain the highest concentration of cannabinoids compared to any other part of the cannabis plant.
Sift or Silk Screen Material (Kief Catcher) – can be used to separate the crystals from the rest of the bud, producing an elegant and adamant powder—kief.
Grinder
Hash Oil – is produced by solvent extraction of marijuana and hashish. After filtering and evaporating the solvent, a sticky resinous dark liquid with a strong herbal odor (remarkably different from the peculiar odor of hemp) remains.
Dropper – make an excellent choice for dispensing many liquid products in small volumes, such as essential oils, extracts, fragrances and more.
Small Brush
Tweezers
How To Make Moonrocks
Using your fingers, break off a nice size bud. Remember, the more compact the bud, the easier it will be to maneuver.
Using a small brush or dropper, drizzle hash oil over the entire bud. You want the bud to be fully covered. However, it should not be dripping.
Using the tweezers, pick up the oil coated bud and drop it into the kief powder. Pick up the bud and rotate to make sure all of the sides are evenly coated with a nice layer of kief.
Now, set the bud aside to dry.
Once thoroughly dried, smoke your moonrock and enjoy.
[emoji419] What You'll Need
One sanitized 5 gallon bucket
Cannabis trim/bud
3lbs of dry ice
You may need more or less depending on how much bud/trim you use. 3lbs will cover a little to at least 6oz.

Bubble bags/Hash Bags/Pollen Bags
You'll need 3 sizes for this tutorial: 73, 160, 220. These sizes are standard for this type of bag.
Thick, insulating sturdy gloves
No latex gloves, you need protection against -109.3°F cold. Snow gloves or BBQ gloves will do the trick.
A scraping tool
A unused paint scraper works great, but a credit card will do.
A large, CLEAN, flat surface
This will collect your hash, so make sure it's clean!
We used a large piece of new plexiglass (cheap at Home Depot) on a table.
Dry Ice Handling
Dry ice has some inherent risks due to it's extremely low temperature and the fact that it sublimates (turns directly into a gas), but it's actually very safe to use! Just check out these quick safety tips, exercise a little caution, and this will be a smooth and fun experience!
Make sure you work in a well ventilated area.Stop! Please read the safety rules first!
Dry ice turns directly into CO2 gas. Although it's a small amount of CO2 and doesn't really pose a threat to you, it's better to be safe than sorry!
Don't put dry ice in an airtight container.
Dry ice turns into gas which will pressurize the container it's in. Eventually you'll get a top shooting off unexpectedly, or worse, an exploding container!
Don't touch dry ice with your bare hands
Dry ice measures -190.3°F at its warmest. It won't kill you to grab it, but it's no fun to get freezer burn either.
Dispose of dry ice safely
If you put dry ice down your sink or toilet, you could freeze your water pipes and end up with a massive repair bill. When you're done with dry ice, just leave the it in a well ventilated area and it'll simply turn into gas and leave.
[emoji419] Step-By-Step: How to Make Your Own Dry Ice Hash
Basically you just shake a hash bag full of cannabis + dry ice and piles of resin will start raining out!
Shaking the bag to get dry ice hash
You've got your materials together and you know how to handle dry ice... let's have some fun!
Dump your (ground up) cannabis and dry ice into the 5 gallon bucket.
Take the size 73 hash/bubble/pollen bag and fit it over the opening of the bucket, then shake and swirl the bucket around for 3-4 minutes. The process of shaking the cannabis around with dry ice freezes the resin so it starts breaking off from the cannabis and is more easily collected.
Turn the bucket upside-down, emptying both the dry ice and cannabis into the hash bag, with the mesh side facing down.
Shake the bag over a clean flat surface.
This will cause resin to sift through the mesh part of the bag and fall out onto the surface like it's raining resin! Keep shaking until you don't see any resin falling out or you just can't shake anymore
Use your scraper to collect the newly fallen resin into a pile and transfer it into a container of your choice.
Dump the cannabis and dry ice back into the bucket and repeat steps 2-5 with the size 160 pollen bag. Then again with the 220 bag.
You should now have 3 grades of your own solvent-free, homemade hash: 73 (pure resin), 160 (not as pure but still really good stuff), and 220 (it's super fragrant and super free!). Enjoy!
FYI: Hash can be sprinkled over bud, vaporized, smoked directly with a screen, and mixed into joints. If you're unfamiliar with hash, starting slowly will help ensure you don't use too much - this stuff is powerful!
