What are you smoking today???

same here man, wish i would have bit the bullet and spent it all on a better one. i'm down the DIY rabbit hole now and it just wouldn't make sense to just replace it now. about the only thing i'll do yet is buy bigger plates and then donate this set to somebody that wants to build their own. my buddy owns the exact same set of plates i do and he never uses them, i bet i could get that set for a couple doobies.

at least one thing i can say is i'll never break or bend this one!!!

.

on the subject of pressing.. i have been using these new Gutenberg's rosin bags and i really like them guys!! enough that i will say try them out yourself!!!

first ones i bought were the 3x6 these were way too big for my plates so these are going to Bandit.. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B7CBD1VC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title

then i bought the 2" ones and they're a little too small for me so next time i'm gonna get the 2.5.

they stretch a little more than other brands so they give a little instead of just blowing out. they're also thin and light so there;s not much waste stuck in them. strong stitching too!!

i'm kinda bias a little bit just because they're made in Philly but i really think these are a quality rosin bag and not breaking the bank. they have a decent selection...


you can see here the difference between the 2" and 3" (bottle style) ignore the blow outs, that was me testing them.. BTW took seven tons of pressure to blow out.. way higher than anyone should be squishing flower at. the small light colored one blew right at the 6 ton mark. i really only need to be pressing 2-3 ton. i know most of you guys use PSI but my gauge reads tons so it's just math. where your number is like 300 mine is like 2 for the same amount of pressure.

One day my friend, one day. Until then I’ll keep watching how the other half live. 🤣

Bandits Haunted Banana (HBF1)

Jared 20241227 RH59-62 Temp 62f

First test was last night. Vaped but not the first strain of the day. Flavour was good. Sweet. Same with the aroma now. Less dirty diapers but still there…maybe cheesy?

High was nice. Good for working around the house or for watching tv in bed before lights out. To be fair I put this plant to seed intentionally so that might make a difference.

I’ll update a bit later when I try it again.
 
We started Sunday afternoon with the last of the Afghan hash & some Purple Diesel hash on a bed of Purple Diesel flower.IMG_3014.jpeg

At the end of the evening we finished off with vaping Bandits Haunted Banana flower. IMG_3023.jpeg

The HB is two months jarred now and has a sweet fruity smell that has a hint of dirty diaper. After grinding the aroma of baby poop is stronger but not unpleasant.

The vape is smooth and tasty at 400* with a RH of 62%. No nasty after taste either. (We’ve been trying a little hotter lately.)

The high is heady, tingly, and has a relaxing effect. If you get motivated you can get things accomplished, otherwise it’s fine before bed as well.

It’s one I’ll be growing again. I think we can get it dialled in a bit better if it’s not with other strains.

I didn’t snap any pictures of finished product this last run but Bandits HB was a crowd favorite and asked when I was running it again! Think I’m going to eventually pheno hunt the OG phenos he says are in there. 😃
