Who likes concentrates?

[SweetLeafGrow]

I love the diamonds~!
I have used them in just about every way besides eating them.
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.

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

First attempt at blonde hash ! Not do great you can tell it’s my first try

 

[Moshmen]

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

 

[steamroller]

Do you get blonde from specific genetics or technique?

 

[Moshmen]

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

 

[IamN2pot]

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.

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.

 

[GrumpAzz]

That “honey straw” will give ya bigger tips but also cough more take the vaporizer! - I don’t have that nasty cancer but do have chronic pain and when it’s bad dabs, hash, then I make capsules out of roaches geared towards pain - I’d have a panic attack with my vape pen! Lol even have a new one on stand by just in case

I take those little bucket style quartz nails with the curved neck and break off the bucket. Then I use it like a honey straw, but attached to my big dab rig. Good sized dabs that taste right and don't choke you out.

I've done that with stuff I've broken before, not a bad idea at all I'd just make sure there's no loose glass to suck in on accident, the water helps alot with concentrates.

So I think somewhere in this thread someone was talking about introducing water, during extraction ? Well this last time I could only get my hands on 151 more water right ? After distilling the alcohol off I let the water evaporate naturally just because - I thought the water pulled out unwanted fats a lipids ? So after distilling off the alcohol the trichromes fell out of the water solution - sorry can’t find the pick but here are my end results untested right is the left over water on the silicone pad the alcohol extract is in the container and the last is the stuff to scrape off the bottom of the jar ? Question is will these contain any thc? Who knows

This is pretty much a guess but thc is not water Soluble regularly. So anything that would be thc would be in that alcohol solution. I use 91-99% Isopropyl alcohol to clean my rigs and keep my reclaim. I put a tiny jar of it on a hotplate-style candle wax melter to do a ghetto heat purge on it. Smokeable after it's hard. But vacuum pots work well too. Watch out though I don't think you can use vacuum with alcohol unless the platics in the pump are rated for a polar solvent.

 

[IamN2pot]

@Moshmen , have you ever seen/heard of 420 Extractor Vodka? I found it in the liquer store next to the Everclear here in CO. Perhaps you can get it?
https://www.totalwine.com/spirits/white-whiskeymoonshine/mystic-mountain-420-extractor/p/212666750 or do some googling.

I have a source turbo - it’s a vacuum/hot plate all in one and usually use food grade 200 ethanol but this time the everclear was the only thing availability so thought we would try - - my guess is the same the water fallout contains no goodies but we will c

This looks interesting.
42O Extractor is a premium neutral grain spirit made specifically for the industry and has proven to provide up to 20% and 30% better yields depending on the extraction process.
I wonder how they managed this?

That might only be available in Colorado. We have Total Wine here and they won't carry it or ship it to Texas. I buy rare bourbons from Liquor Mates sometimes and have them shipped to me but they don't carry it either

 

[IamN2pot]

Sorry guys, I don't know any more about it than what's published. I was just in one of the liquer stores here and right next to the Everclear was the 420 and was $2 cheaper for the 1.75L, so I thought I'd throw it out there. I didn't even think about shipping it, but I guess there are some states where 151 is as pure as it gets for drinking the stuff.

Back in the day, I used Everclear for my Iso 2 Herbal Oil Extractor I've been playing with concentrates for a few years. I'm thinking it was '78-'79ish.

Into concentrates since the late 70s?? You deserve a few medals for getting through the drug war like that.. I'm sure alot of the people here are decorated drug war vets

I can’t have anything over 75% unless it’s food grade ethanol - but they were out - I’ll wait next time although the wax is decent

It’s alcohol content some states such as mine limit alcohol percentages - and I know lots do it but I won’t smoke / make iso sorry only food grade stuff here .

Iso isn't bad if it's properly cleaned after, I wouldn't use it for actual extraction though it's just not the best solvent for it, it's way too harsh. Too much cloryphyll and what not. I only use it to save reclaim from my rig.

Do you smoke it it? - I ask cuz I put ours in capsules and makes a hell of an edible!

I wish I wasn't edi-immune.

Then again, I'm the only person I know who can swollow 900mg THC cap(s) and not feel it. So it's all good!

At 5, 20 and 35 minutes @ 250*F


Mixed with the hemp oil to make desired cap potency. Each #4 cap held .2gr (200mg) of finished oil.

You are not alone. It is a genetic thing. You liver does not produce a necessary protein I believe. I looked this up once, there is an explanation.

Yeah, I've spent WAY to many hours reading internet mumbo-jumbo about it. It all boils down to I CAN'T GET HIGH on ORALS. Try, try and try again expecting a differant result. Wait... LOL!!!! ..."cause I'm a lugnut" ...but it's fun trying

Neither my wife or i feel the effects of edibles. My wife has had her gul bladder removed and ive read that may be her reason

Oh I’m a lot like that I have no idea how many mg’s of thc are in there but I can tell 2 things - most that have taken one have been high for 2 days - and don’t want anymore! Lol and I personally can eat 1000/1500 mg’s from a dispo and nothing so I’m there with ya ! The only way I get buzzed on edibles is if I concentrate and put in caps

You are correct I don’t remember exactly but it’s some enzyme that our liver produces or doesn’t produce can’t remember - just gotta eat more
