![]() ![]() Trichomes are at most 500 microns in diameter/height so the use of very fine nylon mesh Wash Bags is necessary to collect them (a micron is one-millionth of a meter). The goal of washing hash is to separate these trichomes from the plant. So if plant material (like chlorophyll and other molecules) is unwanted, then what do we want? We want those sweet, sweet trichomes (trichs) and we want a lot of them! Trichomes are the part of the cannabis plant which contain cannabinoids and terpenes. Trichomes on the cannabis plant – Photo by Ryan Lange there is no leftover, unwanted plant matter in the hash. “Full-melt” describes the hash being able to fully melt when dabbed, i.e. The term “bubble” comes from the appearance of the hash when you dab it (it bubbles). After drying the remaining water, you are left with hash! Specifically, bubble hash which can also be classified as ice water hash, water hash, or melt (full or half). Different microns produce different quality hash, but we will get to that in a bit. The trichomes are collected in a series of micron filter bags. Trichomes contain cannabinoids and terpenes, both of which are not water soluble. The basic principle is to use very cold water and ice to separate trichomes from the cannabis plant. Hash is so attractive because of its solventless production and because it contains the full-spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes that were present on the cannabis. Full-melt hash can be dabbed as is or pressed into premium grade hash rosin.
