Processing about 2.4kg of fresh frozen cannabis.
My technique definitely needs to be improved, but that’s why we do this stuff and learn right?
I’m washing it 4 batches of 600g each. Next time I’ll probably make them smaller still.
I also feel like I am adding too much ice, even though I add less each time… the stuff frosts up and I’m sure it’s not getting the stuff in between the denser buds.
Even though, the returns are decent I would say, and I’m saving the washed bud for edibles, so nothings wasted. I’ll dial in the technique for next run. I collect the trichomes from the 25 and 74 micron bags, I’ll keep them separated and from there I’ll press it into hash rosin.

What’s the bucket in the first shot you’re using? Is it just a bucket with the wet weed or does it have all the filter layers in there letting it do its thing? My shit was so ghetto when I was making bubble hash, that thing looks super nice. Lol
I guess to answer a Q I maybe missed. When it comes out of the washer it goes through 3 more bags. I use a 160 micron to catch debris, then a 73 micron to catch the “desirable” portion. And I use a 25 micron to catch what would be otherwise waste.
Haha, so I’ve got a 220 “work bag” that goes in the washer. When it gets poured out I go into a 160 to collect the debris.
The blue is another 220 that I’m using to just let the washed bud drain out so it’s not so wet when I get to processing to for edibles. It was to show the frosting that I think is getting in the way of optimal washing.
The washing machine is amazing, I tried doing it by hand, but this is better, and I’ve got carpal tunnel, so tying to save work regardless anyways.
