What is Ice Extraction?
Ice extraction, or ice hash extraction, is a method to separate the trichomes of cannabis plants using ice and water. The ice acts as a cold agitation medium to freeze and harden the trichomes on the plants.
Subsequently, water is added to the mix, facilitating the process of trichome separation. As the ice melts, it loosens and mixes the plant's trichomes with the water and ice. The mixture is filtered, and the water is drained, leaving the trichomes as residue.
This residue can be further processed to create cannabis concentrates and extracts. Ice extraction is popular because it is relatively simple, requires no solvents or chemicals, and often results in high-quality cannabis extracts with rich aroma and potent effects.

The Ice Extraction Process
Step-by-Step
The process of ice extraction may seem complicated at first, but with the right steps, it's relatively straightforward. Here are the basic steps:
-
Preparation: Start by freezing the cannabis. This makes the trichomes brittle, making them easier to dislodge.
-
Gather Materials: In addition to your cannabis and ice extractor, you will need ice and water. Make sure everything is ready and within reach.
-
Extraction Process: Fill the extractor with frozen cannabis, ice, and water. Shake or stir the mixture carefully. The cold temperature will cause the trichomes to loosen and collect at the bottom of the extractor.
-
Separation and Filtration: After shaking, let the mixture settle. The trichomes will be at the bottom. Carefully pour off the water while leaving the trichomes in place.
-
Drying: Spread the collected trichomes on a dry surface and let them dry. The bubble hash or ice hash is ready for use or further processing.
Additional Tips
- Temperature Control: Ensure both your cannabis and water are adequately cold. This enhances the efficiency of the process.
- Cannabis Quality: The better the quality of cannabis used, the better the end product will be. Fresh, resinous buds are ideal.
- Gentle Handling: Be cautious during the shaking process. Shaking too hard can break plant material, reducing the purity of your extract.
- Time and Patience: Allow sufficient time for the settling process and drying of the extract. Rushing can affect quality.
How Much Micron Do You Need?
Each Iceolator bag has a specific micron size, a measure of the size of the openings in the mesh. This size is crucial as it determines the size and quality of the captured trichomes. From finer, smaller micron bags that capture delicate, mature trichomes to larger micron bags for separating coarser material, Iceolator bags provide a controlled and specialized approach to creating high-quality hash.
Here is an overview of the most common micron sizes and their general applications:
- 25 and 45 microns: These bags capture very small trichomes and often produce lower-quality hash. The hash from these bags is sometimes used for edibles or less high-quality applications.
- 73 microns: This mesh size typically captures trichomes that produce a full-melt hash, meaning the hash nearly completely melts and leaves little residue when heated.
- 90 microns: Often seen as the optimal size for producing high-quality full-melt hash. This bag captures mature trichomes and generally delivers the highest quality and yield.
- 120 microns: Similar to the 90 micron bag in terms of the quality of captured trichomes.
- 160 and 190 microns: These larger mesh sizes are often used to separate plant material and larger trichomes. The hash from these bags may vary in quality and is sometimes used for less refined applications.
Frequently Asked Questions About Ice Extraction
How Long Does the Ice Extraction Process Take?
The process can vary depending on the quantity of cannabis and the specific method, but generally, it takes a few hours to complete the entire process, including preparation, extraction, and drying.
Can I Use Any Type of Cannabis for Ice Extraction?
Yes, you can use various types of cannabis, but the quality of the end product depends heavily on the quality of the cannabis used. Fresh, resinous buds yield the best results.
