Resin is resin is resin...and dry sift is simply another method of procuring it. Back in 2015, @cubanhashqueen gave me a quick run down of how to make #drysift. She suggested the @poconoscreensupply and I bought almost every screen 😪. I didn't really do much with the knowledge until 2017 while contracting out of @advesawellness. We had a couple hundred grams of trim kief that needed to be cleaned. I took what I remembered and went to work. Since then, however, I haven't done it once. Just now, I felt compelled to have a go at it. Oh yes....I like this repetitive action. I like seeing the color get better and better. Now to sift enough to make a ball. 😁 I figure if I wasn't working in a 70+ degree room, I could get it cleaner (without green bits - swipe left). I'm cheerily smoking it in any case. ___ #MyNicheisHashish #AllWeedEverything #TheDuchTouch #statictech #drysifthash #cannabis #hash #Hashish #haxixe #hachis #solventless #nonsolvent #concentrates #alwayslearning #higherlearning #cannabiscommunity #cannabisculture #selfdirectedlearning #cannabiseducation #TheDankDuchess (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B90JuldJnI_/?igshid=127os9nmzngrk

Whether hand washed or processed using a machine, resin presents its best when grown well and handled with care. The finest product can be discerned from fresh frozen or cured material. From buds or trim. In this case the resin was lovingly collected from trim that was kept in the freezer after being snipped. There is no *1* (singular) approach to achieve high quality results. Almost everything with cannabis is variable. The only constants are good grow, clean harvest, cold wash, and a thorough dry. ___ Learn this and more at The Duch Touch on March 22 in Oakland, CA. *Today is the last day for early bird pricing* Purplepass.com/theduchtouch_mar22 #linkinbio ___ #MyNicheisHashish #AllWeedEverything #theduchtouch #hash #hashish #hachis #haxixe #eachoneteachone #solventless #bubblehash #resin #fullmelt #icewaterhash #pressedhash #freezedried #harvestright #hashmaker #60sectech #artisanal #handcrafted #dank #cannabis #concentrates #cannabiscommunity #TheDankDuchess (at Barcelona, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9f1x0GJxmV/?igshid=acgj1zim3du

This ball of hash pressed into a near flawless sphere in less than 10 minutes. Why? The well dried resin was practically devoid of any contaminants (swipe left). Without particulate to interfere and with ample oil content, the resin melted readily. Cresting a ball with no cracks nor creases was a breeze. Over time, sitting in room temperature, the bottom flattened as it was unable to retain its shape due to oil content. #dopeness ___ March 22 - Hands-on hashmaking class in Oakland, CA.

I am always learning, but I am quite happy with my machine wash game. However, I could really only muster tentative steps in the hand washing department. A shoulder injury from 1998 kept me leary of any repetitive actions that may inflame my inconsistent, yet persistent bursitis. On my last trip to Barcelona I was presented the opportunity to wash by hand early in the morni g, I quickly dismissed the idea of sleeping in; even though my nightly club/association forays already had me exhausted by day 4. It was a joy to participate in the group wash of the dank material from @mm_extracts. My movements were jerky, unsure, and certainly unsmooth. However, without embarrassment or reservation, I was happily adding to #theduchtouch because I am #alwayslearning. Two days later, we had the super nice chillum sesh at @highclassbcn.

Resin makes me ravenous. Pressed hash makes me insane. As I prepare for my class in a week. I marvel at the ways I can happily be enticed. Granular freeze dried hash looks so pristine and untouched; it's color and fluffy texture maintained by the temperature restrictions of the freeze dryer. Air dried hash always looks so oily, like precious caviar. Pressed hash reminds me of love massaged and caressed into form. How delightful is the concept of balls of resin coalescing onto one mass of magic. We all like something different, and comparisons will always be stilted. We can agree, that we do want the dank; however that reveals itself. ___ Feb 22rd - hashmaking class in Oakland, CA Purplepass.com/thedankduchess for tickets DM for further details 😍 ___ #MyNicheisHashish #Cannabis flower fuels my power.

It took 31 hrs to get from Barcelona to San Francisco. During the drawn out trip, my skin was at once clammy and disturbingly dehydrated as I felt clad in a thin layer of dirt and disappointment. After a long shower, a good night's sleep, a conscious shift in perspective, and some dank hash and flower, I felt like myself again. #sofreshsoclean Much has been changed in just a few days. I am doing my best not to be distracted by the widespread panic. I trust this too shall pass. I hope to be smiling this much in 2 weeks 🙂. Coming shortly - Full coverage of my still-quite-awesome 6.5 days in Barcelona. I judged 3 cups (@MastersofRosin, @dab_a_doo_2020, and @terp_tower_invitational), made hash twice (with @aranuaclub and @bobby_kalada of @lakalada) , hosted two chillum seshs (at @selvaclubebcn and at @highclassbcn ), and had my usual grand old time. ___ #MyNicheisHashish #AllWeedEverything #theduchtouch #adventure #cannabis #Spannabis #OffSpannabis #canthelpbutsmile #fueledbythc #jointculture #Barcelona #cannabiscommunity #pilgrimage #coronavirus #homesafely #Oakland #staylifted #swed #TheDankDuchess (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9zl-Twpj5J/?igshid=1iboacl18mz1v

If used properly, the freeze dryer is invaluable in any hash lab. Pictured here are frozen chips of previously freely floating resin. (Try to say that fast). I first saw @bobby_kalada chip his resin after investigating @archiveseedbank's space screen tech (removes a significant amount of water without compacting the resin). I have seen through dozens of runs that ventilated mounds of resin will dry very well as long as the timing is right (and the moisture content has been preserved). Tip: Resin need to be properly suspended in sufficient water in order to dry properly. Exception is doing space screen tech which utilizes the power of gravity. Resin must not be packed like sardines. #themoreyouknow #eachoneteachone ___ #MyNicheisHashish #Cannabis flower fuels my power.

Self care for me includes shaving my head every two days. My father was a marine barber and keeping a clean cut was imperative. I have to admit that sometimes when I am stressed (where's my damn @pranamedicinals), I simply pick up the clippers. I like the buzzing. I also like to smoke. When am I not doing that?

Resin's beauty can hardly be qualified with mere words, but just trying to encapsulate its complexity pushes the boundaries of my creativity and I welcome the challenge. Still slightly warm to the touch, the resin drapes limply over my gloved hand. I am always torn at this moment; at once delighted by its delicate pliability, and simultaneously eager to fold the resin onto itself to form a solid ball. Overcoming the urge to endlessly marvel at the thin sheet of translucent hash, I unceremoniously crush the resin into itself. Though crumpled into a misshapen heap, its willful softness reveals its inherent quality and its purity. Free of eye tricking additions like oil, milk, or soda its mocha skin gleams effortlessly. I squeeze and the incomplete mass acquiesces to my steady and assured grip. My I make a cube and squish each side until no air is left. With efficient confidence I roll the tepid hash dough over my left hand. My right hand dominates the slowly forming ball. At first I focus on softening the edges; then rounding into a sleek oblong. I drop the resin onto the parchment and spread my fingers wide. With varying pressure throught my hand, I roll the thick mass into a significantly thinner rod. Experience has taught me to go slowly; massaging the resin into an even, workable rope. Back and forth I coax the resin until every inch of the resin looks the same, providing a smooth reflection of the pale light overhead. Sliding the Hashish along the surface of the paper, I form an infinity shape and my heart expands in my chest. So beautiful... My love for hash is infinite. My love for hash is eternal. I thank the cannabis plant for its offerings and I smile. ___ Let's do that together!

Hashy Danksgiving! Today I am giving thanks for being able to make my own medicine. For the lucky relatively few of us, the agency over our own health is incredible. I daily give thanks for being able to grow, process, and consume that which is made from my own hands. Thank you thank you thank you. For every encouraging word. For asswipes who nearly crushed my spirit, but just made me determined to come harder. For every plant that yielded enough to make a decent amount of hash. For every plant that spit absolutely nothing and taught me discernment. For every social circle that widened to accept me. For every bullshit ass list that missed all the fun people anyway, so we partied on our own waaaay far away from the mudane. For every person ready to share sensible tech. For every person with bullshit 'bro science' who made up some coincidental tech and forced me to study it up and be better. For the magazines and publications that featured my work and efforts and gave me massive exposure. For the clueless "wanna be in the space, but don't know what's what" rags that skipped over me and eventually proved their irrelevance (yes I said that.) For the patient people who dealt with my intensity with aplomb. For the impatient people who couldn't see past the quick tongued Brooklynite and wrote me off so I had to do an end run around then. For all the good community and growth. For all the closed doors that forced me to look elsewhere. Thanks for everything! ___ #MyNicheisHashish #Cannabis flower fuels my power.

For the most part, I press hash as I was taught by @frenchycannoli. After all, I like the powerful, long lasting punch afforded by THC straight to the head. Those times that I do not press, I sometimes forget about the resin. Pressed hash needs no coddling like being refrigerated, and being absent minded I often neglect to store in cold conditions. The result: resin that melts in room temperature will reveal its inherent superiority in any case. Star quality is quite evident. Here's to true full melt.

Sometimes the balls of hash are so cute, I am loathe to cut into them. However much I worry about marring the perfect sphere, I have nary a care about exposing this hash to oxygen. Whereas granular hash is both subject to the changes resulting from temp fluctuations as well as widespread oxidation due to multiple sources of exposure, pressed hash can stay in room temperature, and its self sealing capability keep the innards of the hash safe from oxidation. I still don't want to cut it. ___ . . . . ♕🌱♕🌱♕🌱♕🌱♕🌱♕🌱♕🌱♕🌱♕ #MyNicheisHashish. #Cannabis flower fuels my power.  Rolling logs and blowing fog #AllWeedEverything Today is a great day to be awesome. ♕🌱♕🌱♕🌱♕🌱♕🌱♕🌱♕🌱♕🌱♕ . . . . ___ #theduchtouch #bubblehash #hash #Hashish #solventless  #hashporn #weedporn #hashlovers #weed #ganjagyal #icewaterhash #fuego #templeballs #highonmyownsupply #artisanal #handcrafted #handmade #oldschool #amazing #classic  #cremedelacreme #cannabisindustry  #fueledbythc #420 #dank #TheDankDuchess (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzWsx31hXGn/?igshid=sjxcz0ru1fjy
