How to make Bubble Hash with your leftover weed shake and trim
Every wondered how to make bubble hash your leftover trim and shake?
If you want to make bubble hash quickly and safely, here’s a really easy method of making hash with nothing more than a bucket, a fine mesh bag that you can buy on Amazon and lots of ice.
Back in the day you couldn’t buy weed on the streets, there was only hash before one day it literally just disappeared for whatever reason. Today it’s quite the opposite. Hash is very difficult to find now..
Hash is generally a potent form of marijuana with higher THC percentages of up to 60%. If you grow your own marijuana, you can take all your leftover trim and make your own batch of bubble hash too!
Bubble hash is a concentrate made by using ice water to separate trichomes from the cannabis plant material. Here’s a basic guide on how to make bubble hash with leftover trim:
Ingredients and Equipment Needed To Make Bubble Hash:
- Cannabis trim (frozen)
- Ice
- Ice water
- Bubble bags or screens (various micron sizes)
- Buckets or containers
- Wooden spoon or agitator
- Mesh screens or filters
- Parchment paper or a clean surface for drying
Steps:
- Freeze the Trim: Place your cannabis trim in the freezer for a few hours. Cold temperatures help preserve trichomes and make them easier to separate.
- Prepare Ice Water: Fill a large bucket or container with water and add ice to make it as cold as possible without freezing.
- Set Up Bubble Bags: Stack the bubble bags in the container, placing the finest mesh size (with the smallest micron) at the bottom and gradually increasing in size towards the top.
- Mix the Trim with Ice Water: Put the frozen trim into the ice water. Gently agitate the mixture using a wooden spoon or agitator. This helps the trichomes break off and separate from the plant material.
- Filter the Mixture: Pour the mixture through the stacked bubble bags. The trichomes will be collected in the bags while the plant material stays behind.
- Collect the Hash: Lift each bag from the container, allowing the excess water to drain. Carefully remove the hash from each bag and place it on a mesh screen or filter. Use a gentle pressing motion to remove excess moisture.
- Dry the Bubble Hash: Allow the collected hash to dry on parchment paper or a clean surface. You can leave it to air dry in a cool, dry place or use low heat (below 100°F or 38°C) to speed up the drying process.
- Store and Use: Once dried, your bubble hash is ready for storage. Store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place until you’re ready to use it.
Tips:
- Work in a cool environment to prevent the hash from melting or becoming too sticky.
- Take care when handling the bubble bags to avoid tearing or damaging them.
- Clean equipment thoroughly between uses to avoid contamination and ensure the purity of your hash.
This method of making bubble hash is relatively simple and can be done at home, but it requires some equipment and patience. The quality of your bubble hash will depend on the quality of your starting material and the care taken during the extraction process.
