biometrics Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Don't know as I don't have a scale. The manufacturer says to expect 15%-17% from decent homegrown stored at 62% humidity (frozen) and 9% from others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The resulting goo can be dabbed but for vaping you need to liquify it (awaiting). Looks like it was pressed too hot... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosed Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 @biometrics I get them from a supplier in the states. Bags come in 3.5g, 7g and 14g 160 micron for fresh sticky flower 120 micron slightly sticky drier flower 90 micron dry flower 37 micron kief, hash, dry sift and to produce isolates I'm pressing on average 190 Fahrenheit at 90 sec but still dialing in the different strains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosed Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 @SkunkPharmHey man, I actually haven't made THCA isolate.......yet, to be honest I have never even seen it in person. Hopefully next year I will present some pure THCA diamond pics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsyCLown Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 @Moosed that bud looks amazing, what is it? Also how does the kief & hash press? What sort of yield do you get on that and which press do you have? 160 micron for fresh, non dried bud? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosed Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 @PsyCLown, thanks dude. The strain is wedding cake - it's incredible, bong exhale tastes like it smells. I've only done a couple runs with dry ice hash and the result is pretty potent. I have a nugsmasher XP, built in the US and weighs like a ton. Super good build quality. Flower, I'm getting between 15 and 22%, but I can tell you the flavour is incredible. 160 micron for "fresh" , meaning still has been dried but contains some moisture. Freshly picked flower contains too much moisture and the humidity level is much higher than the ideal range for rosin extraction. Live rosin takes a few extra steps - flower is frozen before any drying takes place, then processed into bubble hash, then the hash is freeze dried (love this step, but don't have a freeze drier, yet), After the fresh frozen derived bubble hash is dried, it's then pressed into rosin and provides one of the best highs and terpene profile of any concentrate. And best of all, it's SOLVENTLESS 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the next step I need to figure out. When I harvest, how long to dry, how to store it etc. I've been told it's best at 62% humidity and frozen a few days after harvesting and drying. But I'm unsure about the details. Do I need stuff like this? https://vapestore.co.za/accessories/Storage/boveda-packhttps://vapestore.co.za/accessories/Storage/cvault Or is a zip lock bag ok for freezing? When do I freeze it? A week after harvest? Should I have it in the container with the boveda pack for a few days before freezing? Do I need to remove the boveda pack before freezing? Do I need to defrost before pressing?

I'm not sure about the other questions :P, but yes definitely remove the boveda packs. They will at best do nothing in the freezer and worst case could break/leak (in theory) when you defrost them.

I've looked at the XP when finally making peace with the price after I saw the shipping and potential import duties I just said no. Maybe when I win the lotto. How much did this siet you back all in all with import duties and shipping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosed Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 @Dr. Green You are right. It's crazy expensive but it comes with a lifetime guarantee. Shipping is ridiculous but it's because the XP weighs over 30kg. I could not believe the weight of this thing. Bullet proof. Taxes were about R 7 000 so only worth it if you can bring it in under a company name so that you can claim the vat input back. I recommend the Nugsmasher mini - can probably bring one in for less than 10k excl accessories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressed some of the last of my under developed blueberry with 90 microns and it makes a huge difference. Consistency was sticky putty, now it's sticky crystalline. The silicone paper also makes it a breeze to collect. Could also press it twice. I'm waiting for the 22 micron syringe filter attachments, should make it even clearer. And of course need to wait months for my crop to mature to get the full effect. Edited December 3, 2019 by biometrics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsyCLown Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 So you take the rosin and press it through a syringe with a 22 micron filter on it? Sounds quite hectic, how would you even do that? I assume a lot less plant matter / contaminants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plan is to either press with 90 or 37 micron bags, then liquidize it with Dablabz, then press it through a 22 micron syringe filter. The end result is to fill my own vape carts for personal use. Saw this in some of the rosin press -> vape cart videos I watched. Looks like this. Edited December 3, 2019 by biometrics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
