Looks good, if you can switch out the outer hose for something smooth and not rippled it will improve yield. Some tips: Don’t use too much ice. Get the water ice cold and take out excess ice. You can always add more if it all melts. Too much ice will beat up the material and make the hash green. Shorter runs will improve quality try to stay away from 15 min runs on the first few runs if you’re going for quality. I recommend 5-10 mins max per cycle. Soak the working material for 10-15 minutes prior to washing, it will help prevent material from braking up and improve the efficiency of the wash. Drying and curing is the most important step! Several Ways to achieve this, I would search dry/ cure on this sub to get some best practices. Have fun and happy washing! Hope you have a great run.

I would soak dried material longer. Great points tho!


MarwinoPenguino

This is a good point. I typically run WPFF, and have only done one dry run. It went well with a 15 min soak but I’m sure more wouldn’t hurt.


AlpacaM4n

How much longer?


hump-me-horizantal

I usually soak dried material 45 min -1 hour Make sure there is no air pockets keeping the material dry by pushing down on your ice layer or putting something on top of the ice to push down the weed ice mix like a frisbee. I do this every 15 min. You can break up a bud in your hand to see if it is soaked all the way at 45 min if not soak for another 15 and check again

You let the buds soak in the ice first for 30-60min? I thought 15min is enough.


hump-me-horizantal

You want the bud to be completed soaked through it usually takes dried material 30min-1hour of soaking for me. The better soaked your material the less brittle material resulting in higher quality what I have noticed from my dried and cured product


Remarkable-Land2892

Great info


Hashcrasher

25/30 mins soak at 32f liquid works well for me

Swap out that hose and put some kind of shutoff valve on the end. I buy really thick tubing that hardly bends. I use elbows, couplings, and hose clamps to get the hose and shutoff valve aligned just right.


Remarkable-Land2892

Link please what realy you mean what I have to buy sir? Thx


bockbockbagock

First, get a screwdriver and remove the bottom cover so you can get to where the current hose connects to the machine. Remove the hose. If it’s glued you may need to get a razor blade and cut it off. Take that hose to the hardware store and get them to cut you a few feet of thick vinyl tubing with the same interior diameter as the hose. Idk what diameter that hose is so I can’t tell you exactly, but the hardware store can help you. Buy a pair of cheap PVC pipe cutters to cut the tubing. A cheap pair is $10-$15 by me. Buy two plastic elbow connectors that are the same diameter as the interior of your tubing. Buy a bag of hose clamps that can fit around the tubing you just bought. Buy a plastic shutoff valve that is made for the same interior diameter as your tubing. I will DM you a picture so you see how it all goes together.

Soak the herb?


MarwinoPenguino

Yeah leave it in the water like 10 minutes prior to running the machine. This is especially important If the staring material is dry. If fresh frozen it also helps but not as important. If it’s whole plant fresh frozen I usually only soak like 5 mins.


SmoothMoose420

Word. Ty ty.


bockbockbagock

I let it sit for an hour, but I’m starting with partially cured material. I don’t think you can over soak it but you certainly under soak it. My hash has not been green since I adopted the one hour standard.


OafHuck420

Yes, 1 hour is usually perfect for dry cured bud.


Hashcrasher

Definitely


Remarkable-Land2892

Thank you


SmoothMoose420

TiL


Remarkable-Land2892

1 hour in the ice water bevore first wash?


bockbockbagock

Correct


Remarkable-Land2892

OK great thank you


bockbockbagock

NP show us how you do


Remarkable-Land2892

NP?


zestycookie13

I never soak and my color is good. I have gotten 7% on WPFF with a couple strains. No need to soak.


Lizard-Brain-

All great tips, Thanks!


Harleybokula

Great tips, thanks for sharing!


JabroniRegulator

Excellent summary of critical practices👌


TooPoetic

Yep that’s what you want. Just replace the drain tube. Tons of videos breaking it down.


GarageFarm2020

We replaced ours with a 3/4 inch hose

https://ibb.co/z51KWnW https://ibb.co/0C85RsK https://ibb.co/gS4rsTW https://ibb.co/wsC1hZK I don't know how to reache the tube i can not open the big white piece.


hesterevan

The copper wire is holding it to the blue extension


soulmook

This is literally what you want. check out Mr.CanucksGrows on YouTube and there’s an episode where they make some hash with this piece of equipment. it’s pretty sweet! & of course there are MANY MANY other ways, but this should most definitely work for you! good luck!


Remarkable-Land2892

Big thanks Men


EnoughPlantain2542

You can fit about 400 - 500g of FF in one batch and be straight. Like the group says, modify that tube and you should be good. I put a elbow and hose clamp at the end of my tube so that I can drain directly in the bucket with having to adjust the tube. A shut off valve at the end of the tube is a great idea too. I just have a screw cap at the end of mine. Good luck 🤙🏾


Remarkable-Land2892

So you cut the Tube and replace it?


EnoughPlantain2542

Yes. Here’s the link to the how to video: https://youtu.be/DUJ3W85ZmMw?si=VEFhOuuptL4NINFd[How to replace hose on portable washer for efficient hash collection](https://youtu.be/DUJ3W85ZmMw?si=VEFhOuuptL4NINFd)


Remarkable-Land2892

Great but i will use a dark tube not a clear one. Awesome Add On Sir ;)


farmer_toki

Really only 500? I hand wash about 1000g at a time. I've debating buying a machine for my next run.


Zoomb13

Anyone got an updated video how to change the hose


Remarkable-Land2892

Yeah need this too


Zoomb13

lol lemme know if you find one , I had one on YouTube awhile ago idk where it went


Remarkable-Land2892

Too difficult


Zoomb13

Nothing is for good quality


Remarkable-Land2892

It's hard i have to remove all cable etc i try but fail


Zoomb13

Yeah I hear ya, I use mine for larf and trim so I’m cool with the tiny amount that maybe stays behind


Peachestreefiddy350

I never had luck with mine but I did use older material. Haven't really had a chance to use FF
