Whoop whoop. Love the Hash! What's your hash process like? Do you get super fancy with a freez dryer and sifts? Im still pretty old school with it and I still love some dark gooie hash balls. I press some into darker rosin. Im still unable to grasp the concept of lighter colors being a better product.
To be perfectly honest, I really think the only advantage to a lighter color Is it doesn't leave much residue after vaping.
I use dry ice for my shake and I really just combined my results since I only shake for quality.
With the Bubble Bowls altogether I shake for about two and a half to three minutes. I then collect what's in the bowls, set them on one of my very large plant saucer and then take the top bowl with the flower and shake it into another very large plant saucer. I shake until I detect a slight color change.
There is still quite a bit of medicine left in the worked cannabis bud. If I still have a Grove going, I'll put the material on a big aluminum roasting pan and place it in my grow room with a fan on it to dry everything out and evaporate the remaining dry ice.
I'll run all that material through my ArdentFX in decarb and infuse cycles. I reuse the oil from one infuse cycle for another and make up the loss with fresh coconut oil. I do that for a Max of three cycles and then start with fresh oil.
Now, it does come out very green and very strong tasting, but it is extremely potent. It's essentially free medicine. Otherwise I would just feed it to my worms. This way I take out the remaining medicine before I feed it to my worms. I haven't found that the oil affects the worms, but I always mix it with other stuff too. Best of all, I recover those nutrients From the material.
