I used all 8 bags and I ran the trim twice through the bags and I ran the run-off water twice, the question is there is alot of green plant material in the hash, that came out the 90,73,45,25 mic bags. so how do you get the plant material out, use the 90,73,45,25 mic bags and rescreen it and third or fourth time. its taste's good, smells good, just doesn't burn to good or bubble when buring, is there away to clean it up, so it will burn decent.

I used trim that was supposed to be dried for year, it was in a big tube, but when I got it, it was smashed in a 5 gallon bucket, I picked out, the medium and small popcorn buds, and picked out all of the stems and yellowed leaves, and it was in my freezer for a few months, I used ice, and water, and a big wooden spoon, and stirred it for 3 to 4 minutes, in a seperate bucket, then dumped it in to the bucket with bubble bags and pulled them out one at a time, and allowed them to drain completely. I think the trim was just to ground up I think.

u cant seperate it out with bubble bags unfortunately. u have agitated it too much and the contamination is small enough to be caught by the screens. if u are trying to make pure pure bubble hash your trimmings have to be fresh fresh fresh. dry trim will always contaminate.

bubble bags the best thing to use is fresh trim, and hand mix it with a wooden spoon for just 5 minutes max. u will yield much less but it will be quality.

what i have done with bubble bag hash that is contaminated is ran it thru a iso extract.. basically broke up all my hash as small as i could.. put it in a jar and added ISOPROPYL alcohol (99%).. shake it up real real good for like 5 minutes, then strain it thru coffee filter and then let it air dry completely outdoors until all the alcohol is gone. u will not have any plant material in your extract now, and it will bubble and melt cleanly.

i just made a thread about a proper method to make iso extract. if u follow that but instead of plant material use your bubble hash u will be golden. as i said i have refined impure bubble hash before with iso extract method and it came out great.

thank you very much sidewing, I'm going to try it, but I got to wait until the weather, is warm enough outside to do it.

if u use 99% it will be fine. if u use 91% the 9% water will take a long time to evaporate.. but then again probably not a long while because u dont really need a lot of alcohol to extract from bubble hash. the reason u use so much with plant material is to cover all the material. u can use like 2 double shots of iso alcohol probably to extract from the bubble hash.

fyi u should only expect like 50% of what u had in bubble hash. but it will be super pure and melt/bubble. no plant material at all. probably half of your bubble hash right now is contaminants.

I used 91% Iso, I put the bubble hash in a small jar with the iso, I mixed it, then let it sit for a few minutes then strained it thru stainless steel coffee filters, and there is still a shit load of plant material, cause I read your thread, I used a fan and put in my veg room, I was neon green looking, at first then as it evaperated, it turned shit brown with material in it, I added more iso and filtered it a second time and it still has way too much, material in it, I then put it in the oven, and it came out a dark brownish/greenish tint, its like modeling clay, it burns for a second then it turns to ash, no bubbling at all, if any thing I think I made it even worse, I'm going to wait and try it again, with some good trim, and make some, good bubble, then try to make iso again later on. cause it don't burn worth crap, you get the strong hash taste and hash smell, put you can't really get a good hit, once it ignites you get a little hit, then nothing.
