How much material for 5 gallon bubble hash bags?

For 5-gallon bubble hash bags, the ideal amount of starting material depends on whether you're using fresh frozen, dried flower, or trim/larf. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

1. Fresh Frozen Material (Best Quality Hash)

• Recommended Amount: 500g – 1500g (1.1 – 3.3 lbs)

• Fresh cannabis contains ~70–80% water, so you need more weight.

• Best for full-melt, terpene-rich hash.

• Expected Yield: 3–10% (15–150g from 500g starting material).

  
  

2. Dried Flower (Cured Buds, Balanced Choice)

• Recommended Amount: 100g – 300g (3.5 – 10.5 oz)

• More concentrated than fresh frozen.

• Expected Yield: 5–20% (5–60g from 100g).

• High-quality strains (e.g., Kush, Gelato) can yield 15%+.

3. Trim or Larf (Budget-Friendly, Lower Quality)

• Recommended Amount: 200g – 600g (7 – 21 oz)

• Less resin content than buds.

• Expected Yield: 3–10% (6–60g from 200g).

• Best for edibles or pressing into rosin.

Key Factors Affecting Yield:

✅ Strain Quality – High-trichome strains (e.g., Hash Plant, Ice Cream Cake) yield more.
✅ Processing Method – Gentle agitation preserves trichomes; over-mixing reduces quality.
✅ Water & Ice – Must stay ice-cold (0–4°C / 32–39°F) to prevent melting trichomes.
✅ Number of Washes – 1st wash = best quality (73–120μ), 2nd/3rd = lower grade.

5-Gallon Bag Capacity Limits

• Do not overfill! Max 1.5kg fresh or 300g dried per run for proper water flow.

• For larger batches, split into multiple washes.
