Water Hash or Bubble as its known as by almost any grower is one of the real rare pleasures of the hobby. When made properly from 100% Organic high grade Cannabis the results are simply amazing.

I have a unique method that produces amazing quality Bubble that requires little more than a small set of Bubble Bags and a steel spoon and a few tall one gallon buckets.

We take the 1 gallon bags and add a layer of ice thats been crushed using a hammer handle to produce lots of sharp angles.
Then we add about 3 of sugar leaf, meaning encrusted waste only no fans or crap and use fresh wet frozen weed! A big part of the quality is how you collect and process your trim. A good trick is to allow your trim to set out over night before freezing loosely in freezer bags.

This reduces the volume and allows more leaf to be stirred at once.

Add a second later of ice, more weed then top off with Ice lots of rough shaped ice. Top off with water leaving about 1 from top of bucket.
Place in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

After the mix sits and is really cold remove place in sink and start stirring in a motion so that the stuff on bottom comes to top and the ice and water agitates to the bottom. The roundy roundy will come later but at first concentrate on moving the mix in a up to down motion as the trichomes break off and pass the screen they will naturally fall into the bottom of the bucket. As the ice breaks apart and you get more room you can increase the stirring action and really whip it up. This takes 6-8 minutes and it took a few batches before I could do it the entire time without a small break but you get used to it.

Stir Stir Stir for 5 minutes picking up speed, it will be foaming and this is when I shift into turbo stir really buffeting the mix around to maximize production.

When making multiple batches I just load the next as I press the last batch out.
I even re use the water and we save the left over leaf to use in butter making. Some people run there trim twice but the product you see in the finished pictures is what Im after and nothing else!

[FONT=&quot]Once the mix is stirred well I again allow it to sit for like 20 minutes and then I simply drain each bag starting with the 240.
The Clean Trichome latent water is then poured through the 120 bag. This is strained and folded into a triangle so the resin heads collect in one corner[/FONT]

The green water is then poured through the 73 Ui bag and the same process is repeated. Once more with the 25 Ui bag and then we collect the payoff with a spoon and place onto the pressing screen provided with the bags I desperately need a new one of these. Bubbleman?

So scooping it out and onto the screen we close the wet sand inside and press out the water with a paper towel. Once its really dry into the freezer it goes for about 30 minutes this allows easy removal from the pressing screen.

[FONT=&quot]Now comes the fun part when we see what was made and start the drying process[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

I use wax paper even though Bubbleman prefers unpressed sand like hash to dry first. Since were making very small amounts I feel this works fine for us and it drys so fast theres no worry of spoiling. I am generally to the dry and pealing stage in just 2-3 days.

Now for the Hash Art

Now for the Hash Art
After another day passes these shapes fully dry out and can be crumbled into what I prefer to smoke above all other things.
[FONT=&quot]There is nothing like the taste of clean Trichomes

[/FONT] It doesnt hurt to start with great genetics and all of this amazing hash was made using our Hash Hybrids like Vortex and Space Queen. Some plants simply produce larger resin heads and produce large amounts of Trichome heads to be collected as Bubble.
Since we are Hash heads we tend to work with some pretty resinous gear.

Ready to see some crazy things?

All made with Hash :hubba:

subcool · Jun 1, 2008

Hash made from Tinybomb is incredibly pure and gooey and one of my favorites. It has the cleanest burn of any of our resin producing plants.

subcool · Jun 1, 2008

I have lots more pics to show you guys but I have to get to work now so feel free to ask anything you want about the process and if you have your own tips or tricks please add em up!

THE BROTHER'S GRUNT · Jun 2, 2008

This has to be one of the best if not the best Bubble Hash thread ever. Nice and easy step by step process with pictures of course. Tell ya what the next thing on the Grunt's list to get is some Bubble Bags. Thank you Subcool for this killer thread. :aok: Hopefully this time next month will be showing off some of our own Hash turds.

THE BROTHER'S GRUNT · Jun 2, 2008

Gotta couple questions: :hubba:
Do you cure your bubble hash at all?
Is there much of a difference in taste after you cure?
Also how come that one batch is so green?

Dadgumit · Jun 2, 2008

Fantastic thread subcool - I can't wait to learn more! This is something that I've wanted to hone my skills at. Like TBG said thoogh, why is that one batch so green?

Thanks again for the info and wake up already! (lol)

What's the difference between bubble hash and simply pressing kief collected from a fine screen (blonde hash)?

I prefer the crumble very fresh and it dosn't stay around long enough to get cured.
I think it smokes smoother freshly dried

The one batch was made with Jacks Cleaner and it has a very green hue to the trichomes.
Shortly after the iar hit it it tanned to a sand color.

Thank you for the how to subcool, it was very informative. After looking at the last pic in post #7 of the crumbled hash, I'm left wondering how do you smoke that? 1.Do you sprinkle it in a bowl of weed, and then smoke a hash/weed mix? If so, how much do you usually sprinkle on? Or, is there a pipe screen with small enough holes that you could sprinkle the crumble on and then smoke? OR do you press the crumble and then smoke like regular pressed hash? If so, what is your preferred method of pressing the crumble. If anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it, thanks!

If its made correctly it will do what we call full dome. This means it will fully melt and bubble then disapear.
Anything left on the screen is contaminants

subcool · Jun 3, 2008

Here are some close ups I shot of some melting

Prodigious Puff · Jun 3, 2008

Very nice pictures you have there subcool. Thank you for posting them.

Killer shots Sub, a pleasure to be a part of this number!. I have never seen such a light color on a finish'd bubblebag product. I would really like to know what you do different to obtain such a pure look. Tinybomb must be one hell of a plant man!!. Any detailed tips would be awsome to use in my next bubble bag run, i can achieve a light brown but never such as pure and white as your hash. Thank's for the detailed shot's Sub!! Peace and love!!!!
