I could have pressed it right then, but I was out of time, so I threw it in the freezer and went down to the grow room clean up and made 2 unexpected discoveries: The first one, was that the Borderliner Extreme that was next to the sublimating Dry Ice was suddenly 6" taller! No shit!! The second, was a copious amount of quality hash still stck to the sides of the bucket! I added another 1.5g to the yield I repeated the process, with the 120u orange bag and the 220u work bag shaking until tired,changing bags only when the sitf stopped appearing on the black tray.The yield was beyond expectaion with 3 distinct qualities with one in the middle (73u bag) having the best clarity of anything I've ever seen anywhere! I flipped over and gently shook the bucket over a black trim tray.It didn't take very long for the pure white trichs to start raining out onto the tray! I've never in my life seen sch clarity!! Then, I put the 73u bubble bag over the top. I put one of the bags in a 5 gal bucket with about 3lbs of fist-sized pieces of Dry Ice and stirred with a length of PVC pipe.I put a lid on and waited 10 minutes for it to chill I had 2 nearly identical 200g (The bags are 50g) bags of fresh frozen, mostly small and/or underdeveloped buds and trim to process. Wednesday I took a ride over to Chilly Willy's amd picked up 10lbs (The minimum purchase and more than I needed) of dry ice. On Tuesday I chopped and wet-manicured the 2 AK47s and put all the small and underdeveloped butd and wet trim in the freezer. So when the other 2 AK47s were ready 3 weeks later, I gave it a go!! The 2 marbles in front rivaled what I've seen at Med Men in LA and other dispensaries!īut I was wondering about Dry Ice hash and what it would be like to enjoy the fruits of your labor the same day as harvest. but I harvested a heat stressed plant early and tried my hand at making fresh frozen ice water hash and was very happy with the results! I started with about 630g of fresh frozen, mostly large, 3 week early buds. Until recently I've only ever used dried trim. I started in the 90s using a blender and coffee filters and now use a 15 gal RV washer and a 4 bag bubble bag set. But in terms of "quick and dirty" dry ice is probably the fastiest/easiest way to get at least some high quality kief.I've made Ice Water Hash over 100 times over the years with various levels of success. The "problem" is that with dry ice the leaf material quickly freezes and starts to pulverize into dust in a way that doesn't quite happen with underwater agitation.įor this reason *if you know what you're doing and do it right* you can get quite a bit more top and medium quality hash with bubble bags, and that's why people mess with them. Basically the first few shakes out of the bag are where all the "gold" is. I know you can get an excellent quality product with dry ice if you use the appropriate bag size and especially if you are careful not to overwork the trim. As you work more, you get more kief, but you also get more leaf material too, lowering the overall quality.

Like old-school sieved hash, the first kief that comes out is the purest and best. Dry ice hash is somewhat similar to the traditional dry-sieved hash, except you're using sub-freezing temperatures to help the trichromes break/slough off instead of just rubbing.
