Not sure, just as I dumped the bag into the bucket I realised I said to Don that I would weight it.....well that was trim from 1 big plant, and 3 little ones (grown in 9l and 4 litre pots I think.)
I ran it twice and then got bored so didn't bother with a third this time. My trim was dry horror,some say not to do that...well that's what I do, I use everything as well, fan leaves - my thought is, I might as well use it or it'll get chucked, and when I can see trichomes on the stems of fan leaves I know I am getting something from them. Eveything is put in the freezer before hand and then I used ice cubes and some ice I shmashed up from outside, and half a bucket of snow, stirred like mad, then added a bit of water, stirred like mad again (30 mins total.) Then trf'd from my bucket into the smaller bucket with the bags. Laid to rest for 15mins, then remove. Press each lump that comes out and in my eyes...ready to smoke away.

I made hash with the bags and saved all the separate grades and found only the 20micron (next up 73 I think) worth smoking...but the 20 is a bit strong for anything past noon...I have considered not using some of the bags for a bit of a mix...any thoughts on this?

Also, I let my bucket sit after pulling the 20 and there was quite a bit of sediment! Put the bucket in the kegerator and let it get real cold...siphoned off clear water...swirled up the sludge and what little water was left...poured into 2 liter bottle...back in cold till next day and then siphoned again. This through a coffee filter and I got an equal amount as the 20 bag of darker hash...The 20 tastes more floral, but the <20 micron is stronger (This adds some merit to the "gumby" method).

Which makes me wonder...what if I only used bags of a micron I did not want (trash...er...bin material) and just collect it all with cold and time...? Wouldn't the <20 micron stuff just be busted Trichromes??

Found pics...the light stuff is 20 micron and the dark is everything that passed. Both are completely dry (the stuff from the dispensary is usually a bit wet and will mold if kept for a while and not frozen)

Fair play to Las fingerez, he did mention about the lower buds, but it was a bit late for me to start shaving her lower legs at that point. There really wasn't that much branch under the canopy, problem was, all the big buds just flopped over and I think this was to the dertiment of the lower nuggles. That's why I am thinking next run I will do a double screen. First screen to veg out and probably first 2 weeks of flower, then add another screen on top.

Trichomes getting their sink on....another 3 minutes and back to it...

yeah bro i'm using the plastic screen to train them flat then a pea and bean netting (a few quid of ebay) to hold everything up. if you loosly put the 2nd netting up about 1-2 weeks into 12.12 it grows around the netting and holds everything together (one of oscar's little gems)
