Who likes concentrates?

My hands get better after winter. Finger tips only hurt for a couple weeks this year.
Hard to wear gloves when working on most of my stuff.
They say calluses and blisters are taboo of hard work. :unsure:
Roofing ain't for softies~! :ROFLMAO:

I have lichen-planus(?) looks a bit like nail fungus. I try not to get them to dirty or damaged. Takes a long time to grow out issues.
 
So it was time to press today.

Started with 21 grams in a 14 gram bag. I like this as it uses the whole bag.

I love the diamonds~! :love:
I have used them in just about every way besides eating them.:unsure:
I use my Swordfish, Seahorse or my Egg for the diamonds and my rosin. All made by Lookah.

You get way smoother hits if you go through water.
Thanks for all this great info, will have to hook up with one of those it seems. Maybe the egg. And of course, some diamonds 💎

I almost forgot, Smoke said he had a volcano he might let go, super stoiked to be driving up to see him later in the week.

How hot and how long at pressure do average?
I close the press and let bud/bag warm up for 1-2 minutes with 0 pressure, but squished good.
Then I press @ 4000lbs for 4 minutes. The XP has a gauge with lbs and color coded for amount of bud.
Press is set at 190f.
 
I do occasionally, but I mostly just like my doobies. Here's my first little temple ball I made from dry sift that was cleaned with the static glove method, then pressed with the hot water glass bottle method... she's long gone now, but it was full melt or darn close... tried to put a little disk on top of some weed in my Mighty that I preheated and it melted on my fingers as soon as I got near the heat. Smoked great with a terp pen too, big ol clouds. Good in a doob as a lil rope too. Need to make another bigger one and actually let it cure in proper temple ball fashion, when I have the time. 20230109_164200.jpgScreenshot_20230213_190947_Chrome.jpg20230109_130459.jpg

Normally I do small presses at cold temps for top shelf rosin - now this mess has been dry sifted then I stuff it and press to get the left overs - then into a jar goes the pucks for every last drop! Lol not nearly as nice but still gets the job done ! Lol good for rolling in joints

Stash jar hash. After a year or two the jar I use for the daily smoke has quite a caked on build up and now I'm thinking about scraping it or doing an iso soak to claim all that lost resin

Getting much much better with old school black afghan style hash ! Mmmm not a temple ball made with heat water and lots of hand work but the secret is the cdry and cure in my opinion - wish we could buy it here in USA ? Lol not sure why people don’t like it

Do you get blonde from specific genetics or technique?
Technique supposedly and I’m sure genetics from each region had to play a part - personally I did a horrible job this time ! Didn’t really like the taste or buzz - prolly try it again with some thing different next time
 
This looks like a good thread to bring up a hashmaker I once knew.
To an old acquaintance of mine, Frenchy Cannoli. RIP Frenchy!!! 🕊️

IMHO, If you want to learn true 21st century hash making, spend a few weeks watching Frenchy's tutorial videos. The man could make hash, old school hash. From charos hand rub to bubblewash temple balls. Here is the link to him on google.

Hope this helps some of you. Frenchy was always about helping others. ☮️

Crystallized cannabinoids are great, the first time I saw real rocks an ex's grandmother was dropping a ton of it in her enail.. the only time that enail was off was when she was asleep! She replaced over 10 prescriptions with cannabis and concentrates. If you ever do decide to go for the rig and the banger, use that handy temp gun, on the banger. Make sure you're dropping it at the right temp for the best effect. 500-600f usually for smaller hits, I drop my .2s around 650-700f.. if I'm showing off I'll do the grams at 750f 😎. If you're using a banger too you can also cold start it and hit it like a packed bowl instead of do the thing in a couple hits. That pen will work perfectly fine, I would say try not to use the nectar collector, just because it'll melt and reform pretty solid at the bottom of the container. You end up having to scrape the film up and it can go flying if you don't do it warm. You wouldn't wanna waste those they can be expensive.

Thanks for the info branchman, and welcome to Bud Builders! Glad you are here.
Welcome to the forum thebranchman
Thank yall I appreciate the welcome. I've been lurking all over tons of different forums for years, only recently making a few accounts. Very new to actually getting my hands on live plants of my own but ive been researching about cannabis for almost a decade, just in the last couple years getting into serious stuff.
