Can I make bubble ice hash immediately after harvesting even while the buds are undry and uncured?

I'll never go back to hand washing. Especially not 8-10 runs. One screw removal is all I need in order to clean the machine spotless.
Truth!!!!!
You can find washers pretty cheap on Amazon, IF it does "break" off to the recycle bin it goes. No sense in trying to find parts, they are cheap enough. Looking back thru my Amazon account, I bought my washer for $42.95.
I also did the drain hose "mod", 5 minutes, and a piece of hosing off the shelf at my shop, and away we went.
As far as "cleaning" haven't had any issue whatsoever keeping mine clean. A long cycle with a couple bottles of Isopropyl Alcohol, drain, and it's as clean as the day I unpacked it.
That's a great price. I think mine cost about $65 from Walmart.com and i paid like 10 bucks for an extended 2 year warranty :blsmoke:
This little washer paid itself off the first run.

You should really get the bags, washer or not.

Maybe try some paint straining bag from home depot if you really want to go that route? Options like that won't have multiple micron choices though so you won't really be able to separate the trich head sizes. You could try a hand sieve...but that's going to be some crude quality.

Anyone happen to have cleaning tips for a dude that may have forgotten to clean their bags before putting them away? The screens are slightly blocked/clogged, they were in a hot garage and the leftover bits melted into the screens. Planning to soak in iso, rinse with hot water, soak/rinse several times. Tried using a brush but it was a bit too stuck to come off.
Yup, just soak them in 91% ISO, should just melt away. I typically take my hand a crunch the screen together, and swish it around while immersed in the ISO,M using the screen rubbing together helps immensely, and cleans it right off. Rinse off with water, hang to dry, good to go.
Been there done that!!!! LOL
I learned one of my lessons running a batch of fresh frozen buds, that stuff was the stickiest, hardest to scrape off the screen, that I've run. Had no choice but clean after every run, otherwise the screens were so clogged it was crazy.

Oh shit they’re sonic cleaners? I thought it was a tumbler. I’d been wondering if they made big enough jewelry cleaners to use on buds but I guess that’s an old idea lol.

For getting resin of the bag i use a syringe with ice water and keep washing it down the bag as it drains.

Once I have it gathered I sit it on tissue paper for a couple of minutes so it lifts off in one piece.

I keep a bucket of ice water for cleaning and the bags, as I take the resin off the bags i turn them inside out and dip them into ice water which I filter last.

To me it's worth it, I paid under $60 for mine, and that's cheaper than the drill that most people use to hand mix with. The only "modification" I've done, is replaced the the ribbed drain hose to a smooth one. It doesn't take much to keep it clean, and as far as parts, they are a throw away when it dies item for me.
My sentiments exactly. Well said. Here, here and all that
