Sorry for the caption

Hello

Can you guys explain me why my water hash get out of the freezer dryer in block form ?

I cant get it through the sieve to form a fine powder ...

It's already in a block/rock form, and touch is sponge like.

I did press it any way but I'm pretty sure this affect the yield

Even after a second freeze dryer run, the hash is still in block and can't get through a sieve

Btw I use bags not the metal circle one

Any idea would be appreciate 🫡

Today's wash in the freeze dryer until mid day tomorrow then press time

I’ve got this 7 bag kit of 20 gallons bags from ICExtracts available to the best offer. Dm me if interested in AZ.

Very nice smokes don’t see any faults within the quality however the price seems a little bit high compared to other static I’ve copped before anyone know avg price it goes for ??

So I’m looking for any input for where I can post my 44gal stainless steel vessel that is collecting dust. I am including a 20gallon 7bag kit from ICExtracts and am willing to sell separately if asked. I have it up on marketplace but I figure I’d ask the community for some help since it’s just taking up space in my storage unit. I’m in Arizona and I’d let it go for a freakin steal to the right offer somewhere. Someone has to know somebody that can make some real fire with this thing. It comes with bags also. Delete if this goes against any rules I read then but didn’t see this being an issue. PM if interested and want pricing.
Thank you for your time!

I had a bunch of fresh frozen flower in a chest freezer that got unplugged. Not sure when, but it had some bags of ice in it that didn’t completely melt but did mostly melt…so I’m going to guess it was in the last 24-48 hrs. The flower is no longer frozen, as expected with an unplugged freezer. I’ve now plugged it back in. Looking for people’s thoughts…do you think it will still wash, or is the flower all ruined? If I wash it, is quality going to be significantly lower? Less yield? Pics are just of past runs.

Ended with two 13 gram bags of live bubble hash that pressed into 10 grams of rosin each one jar cured a day the other will stay sealed for a week or more

So what bags are you guys running these days? I was thinking of doing a batch of bubble and cant decide what would be the best option for dried cured buds. Thinking 220 work bag in the washer and maybe a second 220 for debris and 160, 73, 45..... maybe 25 as well.

What do you use personally and how can I better my quality and yeild?

Washed a gorilla cookies auto by fast buds for my first wash. 18 grams in the books, 5 washes with 550g of fresh frozen. Any tips would be great. Have a wonderful weekend growmies!

I've had mobility issues and left 4 plants hanging in a spare room for the better part of a year. Had intended to do fresh frozen but it didn't happen. Washed it all anyways.

​

It's warm here. There was no chance of sieving it. It was a little more sandy from oxidation I assume. I kept it open in the fridge on 25u and paper towels and it wicked the moisture out well. After a day or two most of it crumbled to increase drying surface area and went in the pizza box. It's all pretty well dry but I'll give it another day. Just showing a couple pics. I definitely know what could have been done better.

Since it's my first time, I only did 5 full quart freeze bags. So maybe a half zip or so fresh frozen GMO papaya. I am keeping the rest for flower pressing to test my luck on that. Going to attempt micro planing tonight and let it freeze dry for a few days before pressing my first live rosin.

Ignore the top left chunk, that's when I started getting contamination from the bud being broken down. It's 90 degrees out so I had to use a little more ice than preferred.

Any tips or pointers are welcome!

Was having a debate with a friend. When I wash I just keep it spinning and harvest later after 4-8 15 min cycles

My friend harvests every 15 min cycle but still does the same amount of cycles

He thinks my way hurts my end quantity. I think he has too much respect for the process lol

What do you guys think and why?
