Hash via Pollen Press?

So I attempted to make hash today, not sure if I did it right (never seen hash before in real life),

I had about 0.5g of kief, and so I put it in a pollen press I had purchased locally. I then proceeded to use a heat gun to heat the pollen press (supposedly melting the trichomes?), after that I continued to tighten the press, let it sit for 5 hours, and then opened her up.

I did get a nice solid disk in the end, and it's kind of a green / brown color. The disk weighs in at 0.4g's, and is as wide as a penny, and about two penny's tall.

I broke off a tiny amount, maybe an eighth of the disk with a razor, and smoked it out of a bowl today, and wow, I was really impressed.

Here is a picture, sorry about the low quality, it's from my phone:

Is this pressed / melted kief considered "hash"?


Thanks all!

1. this is consider shake keif... or low quality... I am not bitchin.. just saying.. the reason is.. purer keif is golden brown and very little green chunks. Nothing wrong with what you have or did.. I personally would not have done it for .5g of it but I also have a larger supply so my taste on things changed... a year ago.. I would have saved fan leaves from fresh plants :)
2. If you want to make that last... esp with that small ammount make a firecracker or heck even a capsule you just need oil..

what did you use to strain out the hash?

I saved the kief from my grinder (it is a cheap 4-piece grinder that I got at a local smokeshop for 5$), the kief (0.5g) essentially came out of a quarter of bud that I spent 60$ on. After collecting the kief in my grinder, I emptied it out onto a sheet of printer paper, and rolled it into a funnel to pour it into the pollen press, which i then heated with a heat gun. The kief itself was mostly golden, and light brown, but after heating some of it did appear to darken up. I think the reason there were a few green chunks in there is because the screen doesn't have the smallest holes in it.

Because the kief was collected from a grinder, I still ended up smoking the ground up bud, it wasn't like I was collecting the kief and throwing away the bud.

Should I invest in a better grinder with a smaller screen?

Use this as a general rule, good bud = good kief = good hash. As long as you aren't using schwag or low low quality bud your straight. I want to purchase a pollen press before harvest so I can make little penny cakes of hash myself haha So the fuck what you had weed in your hash.. that just makes it BETTER.. I never heard of that being a problem lmao Anyways happy tokeing.
