ICE WAX (bubble hash) with Matt Rize

matt..after letting my chemdog and my sour d sit out in patties on the pressing sceen (roughly 18 hours) i put the screen in the freezer for a moment to get the patties broken off the screen..then i started grating with my microplane...how in the hell do you get this whole sticky mess grated up without loosing it to your fingers and everything else it touches? i kept putting the chunks back in the freezer to get hard then grate somemore..but i cant grate for more than 5 seconds without it getting to oily and sticky to grate (especially the 120 and the 90 micron)...i have another batch of sour d to run and im hoping there is some sort of trick here. sometimes i hate working with good genetics! wondering if i could freeze it and grate it up like an hour after pulling from the bags or somehting like that

its not easy. your extract is too good. if it was dirty it would grate easy and not stick to your fingers. plus you are doing some of the best ice water extract strains. all i can say is, if its hard to grate like that, then you are doing a good job. consider freezing your fingers before touching the patty. no joke. frostbite for the win.

Thanks.
Sorry just one more question.
Do you ever use flower's to make your wax or just trim? Seeing as how im not growing anymore i dont have any access to trim and i always figured that using ground up flowers would leach way to many contaminants into the final product. I would also figure that using whole nugs or slightly broken up nugs would in turn cause you to loose the trichomes trapped inside the nugs.

What are your thoughts..

I use flowers along with trim. When you grow to make Icewax... you make sure some bud gets into the mix. Now I dont take the best colas..., but I do use the lower plant material ( Popcorn Nugs ). I use to lolipop my plants... but now I use all the material I can for IceWax. Now I have used some bigger buds in my Wax.. all I do is use needle nose tweezers to seperate the bud. Start at the bottom of the bud... and pull tiny little chunks of bud apart. U dont want to destroy the bud but take apart delicatley. U dont want to smush the trics.
