Were made to doodle about in the lab.

Been frustrated with some of the different Press Club bags. Some are better than others and I'd like consistency there along with baddass quality.
Still in a bit of boycott mode with nugsmasher even though their bags have been the best in my stash. Yeah they're good but they're spendy and I've given them enough money.
Bought a pack of Gutenberg's to try out and so far the test pack has been the best I've used.
So with the storms rolling thru, why not go out and squish by the sound of thunder and heavy rains?

I've put 4 sheets like this into the freeze dryer to see what happens to it

Why's it so bright? How much light to you neeeeeed? Plant is dead already,, just so you know.....

Next up will be rear cab speakers where none exist now and a bigger, thumpier sub than the single 12" I have in there now

What 12" do u have? If u r looking at a "thumpy" sub, I'd check out sundown. They r competition level subs. I have a x2 12" from them and it beats hard! That sub is rated at 1500rms but that company is known for underrating the actual rms. Dunno if something like that would fit in a truck though, maybe?

 

[Bandit420]

well i hope you ain't thumpin with your dogs in there!!! but no i just kinda meant on were like what is this thing in here?? i used to lay here, this was my spot?? haha do ether of them sit on it like a booster seat? haha

.

i've noticed the PC brand has the worst yield for me as well. my pates are smaller so i don't get to press as much at one time so every little drop matters to me.

but when i first tried the guten's i bought the same size that i use from PC and NS and the guten's stretched out and came out the sides of my plates and i had to downsize to get a good footprint. i need to remember to send you those, i can't use them.

.

is your new freeze dried material any different looking from the stuff you made with the desiccate and vacuum last time?

LOL Ollie hasn't gone for a ride yet but we've test fitted it for him. More room for the old man to move around but I need to build the next part of the platform for him so it's one big level platform for him to lay down and stretch across if he wants and sit up and watch out the windows.

I ordered more Mahoneys. Yeah I know Gutenberg's but that makes me think of Steve Gutenberg and I'll always call that guy Mahoney from the police academy movies so yeah...Mahoney Bags



Got the regular and bottle tech versions.
All I pretty much do is bottle tech so I'm gonna try some of the Press Club bags laying down and not bottle tech them, see how that goes and if I can use them that way. If so I could load two bags at a time since some of them are small and were bought for my old press.

Another pouring down rainy day today so I'm gonna be out there again messing with some stuff and making extracts and freeze drying.
There really is no comparison between DIY and proper freeze dry. DIY works but it's very small batch, I'm not sure it's 100% zero moisture, and there's only the single set way to get it to happen.
With the machine I get true 0% moisture and it's insanely customizable and that's where I'm at in tuning it for cannabis because freeze drying weed flower is way different than food stuff or candy and that's what I'm learning about using it.
That's something I may start a new thread and utilize the tagging features and key words to get more people who may have bought one of these and start googling how to do it into here to discuss them.
These are different than what's being used by commercial extractors and there's next to no info on how to use a home freeze dryer for extracts online. I found two guys on reddit in the same boat as me using these things like a guinea pig.
There's also a degree of gatekeeping info but I'm also getting the sense that some of the gatekeeping is due to mutherfuckers pretending they know what they're posting about but are really fake AF posers leaving out key details only people using one of these machines would know about. Fucking dooshbag wannabes trying to be influencers or some dumb shit like that. Punk ass chumps man. So yeah, gotta weed out the bullshit info here too.

Part of the process also involves heat which is for food stuff. Well I don't want any damn heat zapping terps so that had to be addressed before the first run or I think it would defrost at like 174*F or some shit. I set for 60 and that was still warm for my taste so now I either will not defrost or defrost at like 35-40 degrees or something like that.

Going back to the difference in DIY and plug and play results and one thing that stands out...DIY freeze dry gave me what I'd expect in a very dry herb that would crumble into fine dust easily. The plug and play doesn't do that. The buds don't crumble at all. They're very much like a soft dry sponge and maintain density. They're just at 0% instead of 10-15% moisture. They even burn slow and don't torch up fast at all. But they do go void of flavor and aroma and that's where I'm dialing in still. It's like getting high off flavorless and odorless weed.

Oo, I could dab the whole fuckin sheet right now.

That's about 2grams splayed out on each sheet like that. A little over 1 on the live.
Yeah 3g to the head in one sitting?

Alright, I'm dabbing this cart.

I once put cart oil in a pen atomizer and watched it all flow out right down thru it and out the side air passage.
I was trying to hit it before it all escaped but the hotter it got the faster it all drained out the pen

Why's it so bright? How much light to you neeeeeed? Plant is dead already,, just so you know.....

The carport is dark dude especially on cloudy and rainy days!
The built in lights on the press came in quite handy but can be turned off on the control panel.

What 12" do u have? If u r looking at a "thumpy" sub, I'd check out sundown. They r competition level subs. I have a x2 12" from them and it beats hard!

My amp feeds it 600watts of RMS and it's a mean mutha my friend!
Went to a concert Sunday and compared what I have now to the venue.
I'd say my truck has more thump, tweet, and better midrange than Joan Jett's live set and touring band and my system is about equal to what Billy Idol rolled out. Concert quality sound in a small two seater cab pickup truck w/ access cab. I've cranked it up to max a couple times and know it could give me some good old fashioned hearing damage so I gotta be careful. The bass resonate so deep it's turned my driver seat into a massage chair

 

[Skinnypuppy80]

That's pretty nice! Yeah kickers r good quality. I was pretty sure u had a truck and there's no way u could fit a sundown x2 12 in there lol
Sounds like u had a good time. I would totally go see Idol, some good shit there. On a different note, I'm gonna have to check out ur chili recipe and report back on whether or not beans have any business in chili

this reminds me of an old kenwood ad, it was a truck going down the road with a dogs head out the window and the caption read something like "because you don't have a quality sound system" - kenwood hahahaha

i remember you made a platform before with good grip for them, you gonna make something custom like that again i assume? .. gotta keep em spoiled!!! hehe

ah i didn't know his name was guttenurg... thats funny!!!!! i'm a big fan of all the police academy's!!

i don't have much skill using a bag not in bottle form. i've blown out every single flat style i've tried i think. i go bagless for flats.

Another pouring down rainy day today

here too man!!! i got time to myself this week and and it's freakin raining everyday! ain't getting shit done!

so I'm gonna be out there again messing with some stuff and making extracts and freeze drying.

i kinda figured you'd be on your own canoe with doing this, hell man most of things you try haven't been done so why would this be any different!!! haha

i can't wait to see what your results are.. i've always been under the impression that some moisture was required for pressing, i was once told the steam caries the resin out. but i've been told all kinds of things and don't believe most of them!! haha my pops always told me believe half of what you read and nothing you hear!! haha been listening to him all my life!!!

wow this shows just how little i even know about it, i didn't even realize there was a defrost period,

so it sounds like some of the moisture also hold terps? and not just the essential oils.

odorless? like it doesn't stink from the smoke at all? hmmm, could have a place in life, no?

.

hey i've been meaning to ask for like a week now... what strain is this? did you say before that your Ethos strains were the ones that had most of the purps? ( i got lost trying to find your post about it weeks ago..)

<bump>

On the Press Club it looks like they prefer laying flat but I can still blow them out.
The material pressure equation simply does not work with these bags. The size is correct but there's something off maybe in the weave, true micron, or who knows what.



Big difference is they blow under the plate and not the side like bottle tech so I still get the yield



These are the nuances and art of making rosin and why there will never ever ever be some sort of cookie cutter script on how to do it.
Same bag, weed, and setting but one laying flat yields well and the bottle tech on the bad bag sucks. Just a matter of knowing what the bag can and cannot handle.

Freeze drying purged the wax of air and water but did not dewax it so still very sticky and unstable



This is about a 2gram haul off a single 7g flower squish. About a 28% return



Filled some buckets



I'm gonna winterize and dewax one of the pots next.
Also have 4oz of keif and some distillate to make.
Then comes the THC% testing!!!!

I think that's Violet Gas Kush by Uruz.

I realize I never took any pics of what I'm pretty sure were the 4 Ethos Wrank. I'll get some before I bag it up though.
My impression of it was classic indica and a protoype of commercial indica traits designed to grow 1 plant per square foot in a sog.
That strain was made to make $$$ on yield and bag appeal.
The R2 breeding was legit in that yeah they're seeds but I coulda told you they were clones and you'd believe it. Hell, I'd believe they were clones and I saw them grow from seed! Each plant was identical to the next.
The only negative I saw in her is the UV kicked out some foxtails no other strain had but the UV also had the effect of frosting up previously unfrosted leafy parts as well so I'm sure the flowers also packed it on.

Round 2 working Ethos I have 2 of 3 starts going forward. One popped but stalled out and never popped out the true first leaves.
Also have the GPS doing classic GPS mutant stuff then snapping out of it after seedling stage.
The Vietnamese shit is already asking me if I'm ready for a rodeo and they hope I have a bigger tent than what they're in.
I just look at 'em and say Charlie, you have no fucking idea what I'm gonna give you!

Yeah the freeze dryer is some funky machinery man. With that flavorless and odorless high, I think I may have unintentionally made an isolate?
There's a ton to play with there. Even time so in theory if I know the exact time it hit 10% moisture, I could shut it down and it would be a legit subzero dry but not all the way down to 0% moisture.
I'll keep turning over rocks just to see what happens and what I can find.

We needed the rain super bad so I aint mad at it. 'Maters are loving it!

Thanks for doing all the Rosen/press research for me lol.

I of course plan on having an extraction/press room, and want to make my own shatter and rosens'

So I'll need to come back here and go through all this when I'm in the position to do so.
