Hash 101: How To Make Hash And Smoke It | Weedmaps

Making bubble hash requires the following materials:-Set of 5-gallon (19-liter) ice-water hash bags (Bubble Bags, Boldtbags, etc.)-25-micron filter cloths for collecting and drying-At least three clean 5-gallon (19-liter) plastic buckets-Large wooden spoon or pole for stirring-Butter knife or stiff card for collecting hash from bags-Absorbent towels-200 grams (7 ounces) of cannabis flower-A water hose-Turkey roasting bags-Tray or wire rack-Heat-resistant gloves-Parchment paper-Bottle filled with hot waterWhen you have gathered all your materials, follow these steps: 

1. Line your bucket

   Line a bucket with a bag with the highest number of microns (aka the largest filter hole). 

2. Fill your bucket

   Fill the bag with one-third ice and up to 200 grams of cannabis. Top it off with a layer of ice and fill the rest with cold water. Wait 14-30 minutes for the cannabis to get cold and rehydrate so the trichomes break off easily. 

3. Stir the mixture

   Using a large wooden spoon, agitate the mixture by stirring vigorously for up to 5 minutes. Be careful not to damage the bag or over-agitate and pulverize the plant material. 

4. Drain the bag

   Wait 10 minutes for the agitated trichomes to reach the bottom of the bag. Then, lift your bag and let the water run out into the bucket. Set the bag of cannabis aside in your second bucket. 

5. Line the third bucket

   Take the rest of your filter bags and line the third bucket, starting with the smallest filter size and layering in ascending order. 

6. Fill the third bucket

   Pour water into the bags and allow the resin glands to settle so the water reflects a golden hue. If your water is green it means there has been too much agitation. 

7. Drain the bag

   Lift the top bag so the water moves through the filter into the bottom bucket. As you drain the water, you'll notice a layer of trichomes on the filter. Wash the collected trichomes with a quick splash of water to help get rid of contaminants. 

8. Scrape the hash

   Gather the filter and gently squeeze from the outside to remove excess water. Lay the filter on a towel to collect more excess water. Then, make the filter taut and scrape the hash with a card or butter knife. 

9. Repeat the process

   Place your collected hash on a 25-micron filter square, then set aside and repeat the process for the remaining filters. 

10. Put the cannabis bag back into a bucket and repeat

    Put the bag of cannabis back into the bucket and refill with water and ice. Then, go through the entire process again until you've gotten the full yield out of the plant material. 

11. Dry your hash

    Spread your hash on a tray or wire rack with a towel and parchment paper. Place in a cool, dry, dark, dust-free, and well-circulated place until the bubble hash is dry. This process may take several days. Drying hash prevents mold growth and doing so in a cool, dark place decreases the chance of degradation. Hash can have a long shelf life if stored properly.
