@ganjaman94, I've pretty much always done a dark period no more than 24 hours although some people go for 48 hours. It's just personal preference and personally I think it helps to dry it out until the soil is almost bone dry and about to wilt so another 24 hours if nothing else allows it time to dry.
Look forward to seeing bubble hash run :) I used to used to use the bubble bags but felt it took away all the flavour so switched to dry sifting through a series of screens to achieve close to full melt hash...yummy!
