Where is the sweet spot for full melt?

Holding fast to preconceived notions will result in missing some gems.We hashmakers all “know” where to find the sweet spot where trichomes have the best representation of the plant at that moment both in flavor, melt. Certainly the spot is found in the 73 micron or 90 micron bags. Often 120 has gold too. The 45 micron bag is a fair bet as well. However, who is expecting platinum in the 25? How about the 160?
Well sometimes surprises happen. In fact, more often than expected.
These fat balls of resin were full melt 160 micron heads washed from cured Platinum OG buds from my 2016 garden. As I began to press the granular resin, the warm water bottle rolled effortlessly as the heads melted almost immediately. The entire process from pressing to rolling took less than 3 minutes. No extra working was necessary.
As for fantastic 25s, I remember washing hash a few years back where everything was 1 star save for runs 2-4 of 25 micron which were all 5.5 star. Go figure.
@mendodopeboys had me wash some BlackBerry Kush in 2015 that had giant heads. That 190 was gorgeous.
No assumptions can be made. The 73 and 90 might be crap. It can all depend on the cultivar, environment, and the grower. #credittothefarmer
Do you make sure to pay attention to the microns that aren’t always so perfect? Who here has had some fire in those overlooked bags?
