r/BubbleHash

After last year's outdoor season I had a few strains that got extra greasy and came out kind of dark after washed and pressed. I'm wondering if this is because the plants weren't bucked and frozen fast enough. We were taking down a pretty big patch and I had a few people helping that were really slow. Unfortunately there was so much going on that by the time things were washed I couldn't remember what strains didn't get frozen immediately. I'm assuming the ones that didn't turn out very good were the plants that took a few hours to get into the freezer. I've been growing a long time but this is only my third year doing Outdoors for rosin so not a ton of experience. I'm definitely going to do my best and make sure everything's frozen within 30 minutes from chop this season. But figured I could come here and ask what all the consequences are of not having the flower frozen immediately.

Hi,

next month I'm going to chop and freeze my plant to try to make bubble hash the first time.

Read a lot, so the basics of washing and drying are clear.

But I can't decide which bags to use. In the end I don't need something special with x grades, I just want to make some temple balls which I can vape in my DHV. So I'll be mixing it all together in the end.

Would a setup with a 220 working bag, a 160 bag to collect the rest of plant material (toss it), and then a 73 for collecting fine? The hash in the 73 then will be used to dry and make the balls.

Have a few grows worth of trim in the freezer. Wife tell me its been there too long and it time to do what i'm going to do. I've never made bubble before but I've seen the videos and get the idea. I think i'm going to go with a 5 gallon setup w 4 or 5 bags to start. I have half lb+ of trim to run, I plan on hand churning. Can anyone advise on a proper entry bag setup? Do I need the crazy expensive ones to make a decent product? Is the $50 rosineer setup ok? Or do I need the $100 rosin evolution set? Or the $200 press club? I'm confused on what set I'd want.

I was wondering if anyone had used a large turkey frying pot as the main agitation vessel with the ice. They have a spigot built in that drains from a bit off the bottom and are made of aluminum.

I would then have my series of bags ready to strain through in buckets for collection.

To automate stirring I was thinking of getting an old ice cream machine motor or upright stand mixer and adding a paddle and rigging it over the pot.

Is this a horrible idea for any reason? It seems like a durable wash method and would protect the bags.

Thoughts and suggestions?
