Ghetto Cold Water Extraction

I've wanted to buy bubble bags for ever. I've smoked bubble hash and its very nice. Although this is not as near the quality of bubble bags. This will get you buy just fine.


Note Before Attempting:
Freeze your cuttings or leafs or buds 2 to 3 hours prier to doing this. This could take you up to 3 hours. 2 of it being in draining. So be prepared. But well worth it.

Things you need:
1.Big Bowl
2.Ice
3.1 to 2 OZ of weed or leaf
4. 2 coffee filters
5.Strainer
6. Another container to hold the water and to strain back and forth Read for further instructions




1. Get Big Bowl, Mixer 2 to 3 trays of Ice. Cut your leaf up real fine. I use a Food Processor. It chops it up real fine. I only chop for 30 seconds to 1 minute not too much. But not too little... If your doing it by hand. Nothing is too much. I used about an ounce and a half to 2 ounces of leaf and bottom buds. I got a big bowl. And made sure it was deep enough. But not too deep for my mixer I was using. I add the ICE. Then the weed. Then I feel it with COLD water. I then Proceed to Mix For about 15 minutes. I set a timer so I can be precise.



2. After my Timer Goes off. I then set it for 1 hour. This giving time for the weed and or mold to float to the top. And the trichs to the bottom. You can wait longer than an hour. No longer than a day. Or you can even go back in an hour and Mix again for 15 minutes. to get more trichs out. And wait another hour. Feel free to use your imagination...



3. Now we take a scupper and a drainer. The white little drainer that has a Plastic mesh screen can be found at many Grocery stores or local Wally mart or such places. This was given to me from a friend. The other one I burned with hot OIL. EEk. So I scoop up the weed. While I do this I try not to disturb the crystals settling on the bottom. I gently remove as much Of the weed as possible. Using the strainer to get the rest of it out. I pour out the water into another Container. I used a 2 litter Kool aid server jug and a Tupperware because that one wasn't big enough to hold all the water. As I poured I strained Making sure not to get any Weed in there.... When I poured into the 2 litter jug. I poured most of the water and tried to leave most of the crystals on the bottom. The Tupperware I Poured the complete bottom of the Bowl I used. Using tap water to get stuck Crystals off... Just a little.



4. I use my strainer to strain with a coffee Filter. This part takes some time and patients. Now your first jug that has mostly water and floating crystals and weed particles. You drain first. With 1 coffee filter. There are certain tricks to make this go by faster. I found by creating a vibration (tapping it with my hands) It would Drain Lots faster.... Not the first Batch is going to be Lots of water. And you wont get much from that. Your second batch. Is like 25 percent of that. And will be allot faster drain. And will be purer.
Second Batch


5.Now you can see the little specks of green in there. That means a little bit of weed go in there. From this point> (Optional) I would scoop it up. And let it dry. To a powder. You can then put it in a glass of water crumbled up and let it soak. The weed will float to the top. And the Trichs will drop. But I say the hell with it and smoke it all. Its not that bad at ALL!! Way better than any black market stuff I've ever smoked. This is a pic Before I Pressed it.



6. Now that its all wet. And you need to dry it. I gather all the head by getting little bits of water and washing off the sides. Mine look clean up there but it took some gathering around to get it like that. Try your hardest not to fill it up to much. Jut be patient. I then Drain completely and take it out. I scoop it up with a spoon and I get a paper towel. With Pressure. I press down on the Trichs with my fingers or thumb and a Paper Towel.. I soak up as much of the water as possible. If done right. You could smoke it right after you press it. But I would wait to the next day. I put it on a piece of card board over night. This allowing moister to ge sucked up on the cardboard. But now that its all done. We can take a smoke break. Thank god because that took forever.


Next Day
