Static is simply the dry sift version of fresh frozen bubble hash.

It's the cleanest most pure version of dry extraction.

It's been completely bastardized by the amount of liars selling standard screen filtered as 'static'.
When done correctly it's sensational but, the prices are ridiculous also so I steer well clear of it because the likelihood of you actually getting what is described with hash these days is all but impossible.

Fresh frozen (also used for making live resin) I feel like another gimmick...Freeze the buds 'live' (right after harvest) then extract the trichs. Bubble hash as far as I remember refers to ice water extracted hash from the finest micron bag that is just kief extracted with ice water instead dry sifting but for how long those 'live' trichs stay alive? They also start 'aging' oxidising as soon as they processed so by the time it gets to the consumer is it still 'live'?

Exactly this these 'new' processes seem to be purely for achieving the highest tested thc percentage in a lab test.

If you look at classic hashish from the middle east and north Africa- it's hung dry for 1 year sometimes 2 years post harvest before dry sifting.

Basically it would appear a lot of university kids doing chemistry got involved in the cannabis extract market and its now a complete shit show.

Much of the hash available on LB is either good but overpriced or just straight crap.

All solventless methods use 200 - 60 micron screens for filtering but is it worth seperating the different size heads once it's down to 120-100micron there's likely little to no plant material left in there so what's the point further filtering out the smaller heads?

It’s definitely worth separating the different grades. Hopefully all the plant material will have been collected in the 180 bag. It doesn’t necessarily get better the finer you go. Usually the top grade is in the 73 bag, this is the size of the most ripe, most potent, most tasty resin heads. Sometimes a sative plant will have finer resin heads and the top grade can be found in the 45 bag. The 25 bag has all the unripe, tiny, or broken glands, along with the sticks the resin head sits on.
Fresh frozen will increase the flavour and reduce plant contamination, is also useful for removing resin. As is already frozen. I would say less total harvest though.
My understanding of static, could be wrong. Is that Afghan farmers used it to bypass the multiple sieve process, reducing labour time but keeping high quality, refined by western weed nerds. Great product. Not as good as 73 micron bubblehash though.

I don't see the point to seperate further than 150micron. Do the different size heads give a different high or is it just the taste? At 150 all the goodness is there but what makes 75 bag the top grade? What does it still removing from the 150 batch? At 150 it will all be cannabinoids terps, thc, cbd etc.
How much more does it worth to have them at seperate grades rather than just one product that have all the grades in it?

It’s because the 73 most closely matches the size of a resin gland at peak potency. The smaller less ripe/potent glands will pass through onto the next size, whilst other larger stuff such as the stalks (which is still resin just nowhere near as potent) will be caught in the bags above. The resulting product is usually full melt bubble hash. I personally think it’s worth the extra hassle, it’s definitely stronger. I would usually combine the other grades anyway. Maybe on a second run I would collect it all together.

Fair enough still confusing tho, you just said you would usually combine the other grades anyway so what's the point seperating in the first place?
Also how could the 73 be stronger when it's stripped from all the other grades that would otherwise add more strength when combined?

The point is to isolate the most potent and tasty part of the plant. Most stuff on the market is a blend of usually 120 - 70 microns. The other grades would just ruin the quality. And would probably be used in edibles, or low grade. I’d combine what’s left after extracting the 73 because I just feel they’re not really worth keeping seperate. But extracted all together the 73 would make up nearly half the yield anyway (if grown well) So all together still a good smoke, just diluted down.

I think it's the opposite when combined.
If you say 73 is the strongest the others are marginally weaker. Let's give the strenght a simple score between 1-5. So 73 micron is 5 and let's assume 2 other sizes 120 and 90 that both could be around 3 strength.
Now add them together and you get a strength of 11 (5+3+3) so the combined product should be stronger and more potent than the seperated grade by themself.

i don't think so . . . . if you're combining stronger grades with weaker grades, the weaker grades dilute the stronger grades.

by your measure, combining a strength 5 with a strength 3 would give you a strength 4, or thereabouts.

At this level you only have a very little difference between grades so my numbers are oversimplified with too large gap between the figures

But 11/3 = 3.6 otherwise you could keep adding 1’s and it would still keep getting stronger. If you had a pint of 100% alcohol and a pint of 0% alcohol, combine the 2 you’d have 2 pints of 50% alcohol

Probably oversimplified it and gave too large gap between the numbers.
With alcohol you have only alcohol % but there's a lot more than just THC in the kief and also the difference in % would be minimal between different micron sizes. If you wanted to compare to alcohol a more accurate number would be adding a pint of 6% guiness to a pint of 6.5% guiness extra (if there's such).

I get what you’re saying. Yes, with the 90 and 120 the difference is minimal. Between say 180 to 25 the difference is substantial. You just can’t get top grade by adding the inferior grades

Oxidisadion is always going to occur at one point. Its a very arduous process that really only increases quality by preserving terpenes. A serious home grower who is into squishing and has a home rosin press can enjoy this experience every day for little money. (Or a hugely comparable experience at least)
Terpene rich, solventless, potent & pure.
Wpff gains nothing that I can see thats better than rosin.
Even the temperature difference between the two processes is subjective if youre gonna nuke that shizzle anyway. No?

Honestly been wondering the same myself. It seems to be quite a popular "premium" product on this site, but AFAIK the only difference is total avoidance of solvents via using magnets instead... Right?

So essentially it's the equivalent of finer filtered hash I think?

I guess that would explain the price point and strength difference but I'm no expert

If you had 1kg of dry sift to split between you and another person, would you be happy for them to use static techniques to select their half 🤔

Sure the static will attract larger bits aswell as smaller ones. I'd be annoyed tho that my half would be exposed to air for long time whilest it's being done plus the friction caused by the techniques would make my half loose some terps so I wouldn't say I'd be over the moon happy.

TheGoodStuff's Gush Mintz static is some of the finest solids I've smoked, worth every penny!

It is a gimmick really. Its really for small batch artisanal production, and even then the amount of attention spent will only increase the quality a tiny percentage because the hash is already good. Static cleaning pioneered its way in the cannabis cup scene with strain producers trying to one up on other breeders and make perfect hash. Truly the cleanest hash a lot of times is ice/iceolator/bubble bag. I dont think this is soley due to the way the trichomes are seperated and sorted. I believe that water plays a big part in cleaning the hash. All cannabis plants are sticky as fuck. Imagine just how much dust and airborne dirt has an opportunity to stick to it in its life. Water cured bud is also a really clean trippy buzz. When I grow plants I pay as much attention to carbon filtering air in as I do out. Now THAT makes a huge difference. Why is it ok to grind a bud that is %80 plant matter yet we are baulking at the sight of %2 plant matter in hash? A lot has been lost as traditional drysift landrace hashes disappear. Full spectrum hash made from males and females, seeded or not, grown in the sun and beaten over the zero zero screen in the hills of Chefchouen are sadly slipping away from the uk scene. The hash scene in spain is mad. Even the canaries is fantastic with spanish modern pollems and import hassans all over the place. The uk seems to be struggling. The trouble with all this piatella nonsense is that folks will all too easily make a formula replica with terps and dodgy distillate.
Have worldwide landrace hashes got popular in the us or something. Where has it all gone?

That piatella sounds simple enough to make and test but at the end of the day it is the same kief processed into a different consistency. The purest form of hash must be the unprocessed kief.

It's not a gimmick, as much as it is a spectrum.
You have your commercial type "static" hash and then you have the real deal.
Real static is that amber color and it is waxier than drysift. The type that comes from THC and Thegoodstuff.
I think the key with static is how many runs you give it with your chosen technique to clean it.
1 run with the glove or cd method probably leaves still a considerable amount of contaminant.
You could technically call this static without actually lying. But it's still gonna look like triple filtered and not waxy at all (as you see with some of the static sold on lb presently).
I got some "110 micron static" from a vendor about 18 months ago. For the life of me I think it was from "Pablo Esobar". It was dark on the outside. Not squidgy black dark. But darker than clay sort of grey.
Very light on the inside.
Holy shit, that was probably the finest hash I have ever smoked, including real static. Still to this day not sure if it was static, or static cured under favourable conditions but goddammit the next review after mine showed that the hash being sold was not the same. I'd have been gutted if I was that guy.
The next best was the barz la static. That was soft, brown and oily, not unlike a number of hashes you might find on here. But it just smoked like top draw stuff.
So, no gimmicks - it's down to how clean you can get it.
With an iceolator available at about £100 though, I'm not sure why you'd go to the trouble.

It still sounds like a gimmick tbh. Again the static collection methods I've seen can collect all the bits just keep drag the glove over the kief and done. Won't change the kief itself if anything dragging the plactic throught as they do it in the videos create friction, warms up the kief slightly but the waxy consistency suggest heat being introduced at some point during the process or storage. Same as heat pressed rosin can change its consistency from shatter like to sappy wax like depending on tempreture it pressed and stored etc.

Dry sift kief is dry and powdery, not waxy static is the same. That powder then pressed into bricks and that brick should look bright yellow if done right. Over time this will turn brown do to aging

I highly recomend Hashish by Robert Connell Clark. IIRC. Fantastic book.

Obviously you haven’t researched what piatella is have you? Lmao. Go to Barcelona and find out. Come back an tell me it’s a gimmick then.

This is from sensiseeds "Piattella hash is a solventless extract made from fresh-frozen bubble hash that is cold-cured until it becomes butter-like"
I bet I can make this in fact I have pressed rosin in the past that became butter like, but I guess cold curing can preserve the terps is it worth it tho? how much they sell for?
