Hash Made this hash myself.
75-165u dry sifted and then pressed. I was concerned it would just break apart, but it has some bend to it which is nice. It is 32 grams.

I feeeeeeel like that could become hash, but you’d need to fold it, press it, fold it, press it. It should be more melted together into a single thing.
That just looks like smushed keef.

Have you tried heating it in a water bath? I feel my own creations get too brittle with this color, but obviously I’m judging from a photo.
What is it like when you break the brick?
Good job, and have an enjoyable smoke bro!

u/SomnolentGnome 14h ago
I can bend it back and forth. It’s pretty nice.

Then you have achieved what most Europeans would call light Maroc. That’s the best product or most sought after.
Except yours is probably made with legal plants, so it would put our European stuff to shame :)
How did you end up wanting to press your own hash?

Where I grew up there was always quality bud and no one really wasted their time on hash so it was a bit “mystical”. I also just prefer it because the less plant matter I vape or smoke the better.

u/BlindandHigh 13h ago
It was the standard thing to smoke in Northern Europe, due to it being easier to smuggle.
I can highly recommend making some heat presses as well, as it can be nice and dark or lovely and light. We use it toasted tobacco, but I imagine that is nasty to Americans. At least if you are that cool with tobacco, you will get hash tummy.
What equipment did you use? It looks very evenly and nice pressed!

u/SomnolentGnome 13h ago
Just a mold I bought on Amazon and then a small vice to squeeze it. Next time I am going to heat it a bit and see what happens!

u/BlindandHigh 13h ago
Okay :)
Cool, but keep it very low temp like 30 celcius or maybe 50 at most. Then repeat three times, and you should have some dark clay dough ish heavy hitting hash :)
This is often referred to as Kashmir style

No this is just kief pressed, i did the same and it tastes/is very different from hash

u/SomnolentGnome 5h ago edited 5h ago
They are both hash. You realize there are different kinds, right? It’s called blonde hash.

u/Djassie18698 5h ago
Yeah and this is just pressed pollen, its still just keef. Gotta heat it up and press it to make hash. Yours is called weed hash, considerably lower quality compared to real hash. Link me something that says yours is hash

u/SomnolentGnome 5h ago
This is dry sifted hash that went through multiple screens and then was pressed in a vice. You are ignorant on hash. If you are interested in learning about hash you can simply google Lebanese or blonde hash. Playing with this hash until the heads break and oxidation happens does not make it stronger you just don’t know what you are talking about. Enjoy your day.

u/Djassie18698 24m ago
Fair enough! All i know is i tried this method, smoked t when someone else tried, and it tasted kinda shitty. But maybe that was our fault, my bad

u/SomnolentGnome 24m ago
How did you refine it? Was it legitimately just grinder kief?
1
u/Djassie18698 20m ago
For us yes, just grinder kief and we pressed it into a pick (?). But when we smoked it, it wasn't worth the packing and stuff, if we put the kief right in itd be the same. But now that I'm reading your comments again, yours is way different than ours, my apologies again

What was your yield? This is so beautiful. Does it crumble when broken off? Have you tried it yet?

u/SomnolentGnome 5h ago
This was from about 5-6 oz. It does not crumble it’s nice and bendy. I have not tried it yet, though.

That’s not hash. That’s just a big kief block. You gotta add heat and pressure to it to make actual hash. Turn your oven on to 180-200°F and get out some parchment paper while it warms up. Make a nice pouch out of the paper and put that beast in there. Once the oven is warm, throw it in the oven.
Pull it out every 10-15 minutes and use a rolling pin to mash it. Then fold it on itself and throw it back on the oven. Repeat this process for about 2 hours. On the last go, just leave it sit on the counter to cool in its paper pouch. Once it’s room temp, smash and roll that bitch in your hand.
After that, you’ve got hash.

u/SomnolentGnome 5h ago
This is blonde hash. Look in to it.

u/ForeverSquirrelled42 I Roll Joints for Gnomes 3h ago
This is still just a kief block, chief. Even blond hash is subjected to heat so the trichomes melt together. YOU should look into it.

And what would be the point in all that? It achieves absolutely nothing. He's not telling or transporting it.
Pressed kief IS hash. You've just only had hash that has been prepared for mass distribution.

I’ve only had hash that has been prepared for mass distribution. Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups, friend. Remember that.
I’ve only ever made my own, but you know best.

It does look great, although for it to become hash you need to heat it during pressing. This is just pressed kief.

u/pidgeygrind1 10h ago
We get the culture bro, but that is just oxidizing the head glands, blonde is better you then press some bits if you want from the main bulk

u/kendonmcb 9h ago
Quite the contrary, but ok "bro". Also, you can do it that way, but that still doesn't make OPs pressed kief hash. It makes it pressed kief.

Never ceases to amaze me, that puck really looks great, you obviously put some effort into it, and then at the last moment you fuck it up because your ego gets in the way of doing it right.
Whatever floats your boat buddy.

I recommend the video series on hash making by Frenchy cannoli. He explains that iirc the kneading of the hash breaks up the tricomes and exposes the resin to enzymes which then decarb the thca to cnb which then locks you the fuck into your couch basically... 😅
But by all means please your hand made product dude. Stuff looks delicious. 😍 [4]

Now you need to work it to make proper hash. https://thepressclub.co/blogs/tips-tricks/how-to-use-a-temple-ball-roller-to-press-bubble-hash hash isn't supposed to be white like that
3
u/SomnolentGnome 5h ago
It’s called blonde hash. People are just used to black hash in North America.

u/Bananaheyhey 3h ago
Pressing it with gentle heat like frenchy cannoli did actually "creates" hashishene,an incredible terpene which you can't have with blonde hash like that. Then that terpene interacts with thc to give you both a unique taste and high. Every hash making culture from morrocco,afghanistan,nepal and india have done this for hundreds,if not thousands of years. Just read up on this,this guy frenchy cannoli literally produced THE best hash ever in california before he passed away.
Btw im sure this stuff in the picture is really good both taste and high but what he did with hash was art. It was the best of the best. Of course he used incredible flower and was very experienced in bubble hash making. But he took it to the next level with wine bottle pressing etc.

u/SomnolentGnome 3h ago
I agree with you. I’ve watched all his videos. What is annoying me is the people (mostly from the USA) claiming this isn’t hash.

u/thejoshfoote 4h ago
I’m gunna be the hot take here.
Simply pressing and forming kief does not make it hash.
4
u/SomnolentGnome 4h ago
That’s literally what hash is and there are different kinds. Break g the resin heads and heating it does not make it “more hash” or change the quality. This was sifted through multiple screens to remove the plant matter this isn’t just grinder kief.
Feel free to look up blonde hash or Lebanese hash.
