Processing about 2.4kg of fresh frozen cannabis.
My technique definitely needs to be improved, but that’s why we do this stuff and learn right?
I’m washing it 4 batches of 600g each. Next time I’ll probably make them smaller still.
I also feel like I am adding too much ice, even though I add less each time… the stuff frosts up and I’m sure it’s not getting the stuff in between the denser buds.
Even though, the returns are decent I would say, and I’m saving the washed bud for edibles, so nothings wasted. I’ll dial in the technique for next run. I collect the trichomes from the 25 and 74 micron bags, I’ll keep them separated and from there I’ll press it into hash rosin.

Second wash of the last batch from the 73 micron screen.
What’s the bucket in the first shot you’re using? Is it just a bucket with the wet weed or does it have all the filter layers in there letting it do its thing? My shit was so ghetto when I was making bubble hash, that thing looks super nice. Lol
I’d recommend being a bit more gentle. Note the green color. That means there’s a decent amount of chlorophyll in there, which can be reduced by reducing the intensity/time in the washer.
You can always do multiple washes to extract more product, but always try to make the first wash the best so you can have some top shelf.
If you really want to go fancy with it, you can make a hash ball and age it. Frenchy Canolli has good info on how to do this, and also great info about hash making in general.
Is there a reason you’re doing a wet wash vs dry ice? I’ve never done a water wash before, it always seemed unnecessarily messy and I’ve never been confident about freeze drying without a proper freezer dryer.
Ignorance?
Ive been following a few guides to make “live rosin” carts, which from my (ignorant, not a lot of information is easily available on this wonderful plant) googling has come up with bubble hash, to hash rosin to live rosin carts. Seems to be the cleanest way to get something to be able to put in cart and vape.
Trying to avoid chemicals as much as possible, so BHO and stuff is right out, don’t know how dry ice weighs in.
