Sitka Traditional Dry Sift Hashish

What is Water Hash? As we stated in our solventless post, in order to make Water Hash, plants are broken down into smaller bud sites and added to large tubs of very cold (almost freezing) water and ice. The plants are then gently stirred. In a cold room, we gently wash the water hash by hand using a paddle, whereas some Hashmakers are using machines to agitate the plants. The gentle agitation at cold temperatures separates the trichome heads from the trichome stalks. The intent is to keep the heads fully intact without rupturing the membrane and letting the good stuff(resin) drain out. The trichome heads are now floating and hanging out in the vessel of cold water and ice. We then filter that water thru mesh @icextract bags with different micron screen sizes. Each bag is a different size micron ranging from 25ū to 180ū and these bags catch different size trichome heads as well as some stalks and other plant matter. We feel the 90ū - 150ū bags catch the juiciest most valuable trichome heads. If they melt perfectly on the banger, nail or insert, we release them as fullmelt water hash OR send to our Persy collection of rosin.
