ISO - Fresh vs Dry Bud/Trim

I'm soon to harvest, and want to make ISO hash. I was just wondering if it's best to use fresh cut bud + trim, or to let it dry out first? One of my friend's that i bought some of this ISO hash from, said that it'd be better for me to use fresh rather then dry. Opinions?

Oh, and I've read that it's best to used ground up material. If I'm using fresh bud, do i just chop it up?

The alcohol should strip the thc rather quickly too wouldn't it? So there's no point in letting it soak?

Anyone ? Cmon someone's gotta know which one is best

After searchin and searchin, i think i found a reliable answer .

You can use fresh.. or dried.

I've done both.. however, I will say that the fresher the trimmings.. the better the hash turns out.

good luck.

I'm gonna pick up some alcohol tomorrow, and get bakin .

look at oakleys thread on how to make ISO. fresh erm, can be done, but, i wont yeild like dry would.

if every thing is cold and you do a good thorough rinse with the alcohol is should come out golden after boiling it off on the lowwest heat possible.


, so to answer you questions.

DRY trim and bud as cold as possible
alchohol as cold as possible
rinse do not soak
cook off at the lowest temps possible(under 250 degrees)

his thread should only be a page or 2 back.

Alright, well I'm gonna have to let my shit dry out for a while. Assuming it's a bad idea to quick dry it?

same principle if you where to qiuck dry your bud i would convert thc to its other forms, so let it dry slow, be patient. patience is a learned thing, trust me im inpatient i still micro a bud when i need to. but when it comes to hash why rush it? A) i dont like to smoke it so i dont really have to (thats for peeps like me) or B) i do smoke it and i want some grade A hash.(probably you, which is fine i just like my bud )

so if you need some smoke i would micro a bud. on the plus side the more surface area( and trim covers surface area) and thin it is the faster it will dry so trim dry pretty fast.

Do the large fan leaves have any value in making hash?

there it isssss thanks

I made a little bit using my shitty fan leaves n shit to give it a try, so that if i fucked up it's with shitty leaves . I ended up with a little black ball that smells sweet. I'm gonna put that off to the side till I'm all out and desperate

everybodys first attempt is a black ball this is how you improves use less fan leaves rinse less iso across them (do not soak, if you did you extracted everthing in the leaf, chlorophyll, nutes ect.) also since it is black it probably wont taste the best since this probably means you extracted a bit of chlorophyll but enjoy your hard work, practice make perfect when it comes to hash making.
