I would think close to 5ish lbs then? I now make all my trim, etc. into BHO as I never have enough for hash but hopefully this harvest I’ll get the machine going. I wonder if chunks of the ice would help in the tumbler, if they didn’t freeze and break the screen, lol. Again very nice, have you compressed any?

Probably somewhere around that. It made a bunch more but I just do a quick shake before the plant material starts breaking down and contaminating it. My friend was over and he took what was left of my quick shake and shook it again. He ended up with about the same amount but his was a greenish tint.

I haven't compressed any yet but I have the tools to do so. I was thinking of making a DIY rosin press as I have a couple friends that like that stuff.

i have two half inch aluminum plates and 4 big C clamps....i fold over a piece of silicon mat and put my piece inside of that, press it out, fold it over, press it out, about a dozen times, comes out nice and even, when it sits a couple of days the outside oxidizes and gets a little hard, but the inside is still gooey.IMG_20180623_130529.jpg IMG_20180623_130613.jpg

Haven't pressed any yet.

I have a piece of aluminum pipe that I made plugs for that slide in from either end about four inches long. I put a plug in then some dry ice hash and then the other plug. I then take a 6" C-clamp and compress the two plugs squeezing the hash into a disk inside the pipe. I put that in a about a 185 degree oven for about an hour tightening the clamp every ten minutes or so. Take it out, let it cool, remove clamp, and slide a nice round disk of hash out. It reminds me of the Lebanese hash I used to get back in the seventies. I haven't done it in years though. Just been topping off bowls and bong hits with the powder. I thought about making rosin but I'm not really into concentrates. And my girl freaked out when a friend came by with some dab, a big smoking device, and a blow torch. I didn't like it either. Reminds me of the eighties when I dabbled in freebasing. And I'd rather not remember that.

I run wet frozen trim with high grade butane, evap in 90F water, whip occasionally then into the jar and pull down to 750 microns for a couple of hours and whip every half hour or so
