Can you use fan leaves for bubble hash?
Leaves: Juice, tea, and hash Sugar leaves are the small, resin-coated leaves that form around the buds. Because fan leaves do not contain high levels of cannabinoids, they don’t serve a purpose when it comes to making hash. To harvest them on a small scale, we recommend creating bubble hash or canna-butter.
Why are my fan leaves turning brown?
If the pH of the growing medium becomes too low or too high, plants lose the ability to absorb nutrients. Low levels of molecules such as iron and magnesium—important for chlorophyll formation and enzyme synthesis—can lead to crispy, dry leaves. A nutrient surplus can also cause dry and damaged fan leaves.
Why does hash turn brown?
Over time, all hash oxidizes as a result of chemical changes with the introduction of oxygen. Oxidation not only gives hash a darker hue, it doesn’t contribute to the quality of the product.
Should I cut fan leaves before harvest?
Usually, growers trim the fan leaves weeks before harvest, which is a period that leads to senescence, a phase in the plant cycle when the larger leaves start fading away. It is safe to start removing these dying leaves and continue until harvest.
Should I trim fan leaves during flowering?
Yes you should – but with the correct technique. A proper thinning will remove 20-40% of the mid to upper foliage every 5-7 days. Removing these fan leaves opens up light and produces better air exchange to the lower canopy.
What can I do with browning leaves?
Use sharp scissors to cut away the dead, brown areas. Just follow the leaf’s natural shape. You’ll still have a thin brown line along the cut, but the rest of the leaf will stay green and healthy as your plant moves ahead.
Why is my bubble hash water brown?
Even with the right quality, an less-than-fresh flower can often result in an off-brown or tan bubble hash. That all being said, you can use lower quality trim and still produce bubble hash. In fact, beginners may benefit from a low-risk test run using a lower-quality product.
What color should bubble hash be?
Bubble hash comes in an array of colors, depending on the ripeness of the cannabis being used, the amount of plant material that makes it in, and the size of the mesh micron it was filtered or “sieved” through. Bubble hash can range from blond to red to black, with the lighter colors often being the most desirable.
