Mau5Capades: builds & grow journal

yeah , i'm a heady up high guy myself , that knock yer dick in the dirt & wanna crawl to the couch stuff gets old for me .
I go for the up lifting shit , mind expanding ,let's get shit done sativa but with a body stone & pain help .
I wanna function & be stoned outta my gourd
that's why GSC is soo popular not the strongest but the effects & taste are to die for imo

Kind of coming out of know where but why hasn't anyone mentioned tanning bed lights? They have UVB and UVA? Wouldn't it work or is it different?

there's whole bunch of guys that swear by flouro's ... one guy here on RIU who grows killer frost has a 'tanning booth' he calls his gro room

Dr. Who? by HGNW, my favorite plant to grow, wayyyy too potent to smoke though. I actually bought another pack for the sole purpose of pulling a shittier pheno for myself lol. All I meant to posit though was bare chips can grow INCREDIBLY resinous, enormous buds without any help from monos. I'm the laziest dude you will ever meet, I find that is my greatest strength in the garden sometimes. I've also been totally letting my canopy go to shit, it's all gappy and hounds-tooth looking fucking garbage, but that seems to be promoting insane growth on my lowers. I have no larf at all, I barely even lollypop shit if it's a clone. You see those vertical cage things? I'm way too fucking lazy to trellis shit, I found those things lying around on the side of the road. Fukkit mane. I feel like you need to keep your ladies middle school slow-dance distance from one another, just to get enough penetration to really chubby stuff up down there yadidimeen, especially when you encapsulate the light with a tent. I think solid canopies might be a deficit in terms of yield and overall quality.

To potent to smoke? Heh the forum is probably 60% Wax and Hash Smokers LoL..

I like high grows , that da plan on my re-done room
if ya got the height then a even canopy is a waste of space of that height if ya get my drift

Yeah I only rip rosin that I press myself. Oh yeah guys, I made a really bad ass rosin press for less than a hundo, I should post a how to. It's really easy to make if you have a shitty drill press and a cheap welder. It's a temperature controlled, small die piece of steel that had cut for me, and I just welded it on to the shaft of a $30 arbor press. Drilled a couple holes innat bastard, 50w ceramic heating element, and a little PID relay cheapo thing. baddabing, 1 ton mechanical press with decent yields, I'm averaging like 21% by weight. Yeah this thing is pretty sick, you guys should probably build one.

start a thread Bro , I'm into building a DIY press for sure
All ready kicking it around after seeing GG talk about it
seems inserting a heater into blocks of AL ania't Rocket Science
I've already got temp probes & digital reader
drill press got that
blocks of AL check
Harbor Freight is 10 minutes away That press that have looks good & useful around the garage/shop

nice nice i've got:
abs project box
male power socket (main power supply)
waterproof cable "through hole" (all driver cords into box)
heat shrink tubing
waterproof connector (male/fem fem comes out box male to go in series to cobs)
braided sleeve

what did you use the:
Terminal barrier
dual row terminal
daisy chain AC plug for?

And what in the hell are you guys talking about, my Dr. Who? grown under 3070s clocked in at 27% but feels like 80. Look at the tests GreenGene's did back in the day between COB and HPS, pretty sure higher cannabinoid levels all around were the result.

I always get rid of my Who before anything else, I don't even like the stuff, I've been vaping flower rosin pretty much all day every day for over a year now, I think my nail is on 20 of every 24 hours, and that shit is way too strong for me. I can't even take the body load, it feels like I'm coming up on San Fran Electra. Is there some mono I could implement to reduce potency? I keep having people coming to me with the same problem: it's way stronger than anything they're used to.



yeah, here's a couple.

¿That cobs are what we use and how CRI and color ??
It seems a very red spectrum

yeah, you just drill some holes in a block of metal, get a $4 heating element, a solid state relay, and a cheap controller on amazon, and a thermocouple. There's a pretty coherent wiring diagram on most of them. You don't really have to weld anything, again, I'm really lazy and I'd rather tack it on than fuck with tapping blah blah blah. Zap bitch I'm high as fuck.

What are you using to capture the Rosin?

Okay, so you get 21% rosin yield. If you view several test results for rosin on analytical 360, you'll find that they're almost always in the 70-80% range. Most are around 75%, like OG Kush. Some are in the 60s, I didn't see any in the 80s.

So let's be generous and say 80%. 21% yield x 0.8= 16.8% THC for the bud you started with. Let's round it to 17%. That's considerably different from the 27% you stated.

Another thing is the fact that there's at least 20% non-THC in rosin. Terpenes only account for around 5% usually. So there's about 15% other stuff in rosin, probably wax mostly.

Astro Aquanaut said:

You are similar to the guy in the meeting that listens to the plan for 40 minutes then asks a simple question that destroys the greatest plan ever known to man kind However, THC % isn't based on overall yield... so if you get 2% out of your giant hydraulic robotic press that destroys small villages while you sleep the THC % can be 40%...

note: There are those who need hydraulic presses and those who don't

I don't even see how people can get 21% yield of rosin, considering that I've extracted the resin from buds with solvent and I know that they're never more than 10% resin. I can then mix that resin with a powder (ground bud or whatever) and I will get 20-25% of weight in hash of the bud weight I started with. If bud can only yield 25% soft hash and if soft hash is roughly 1/3 resin, which it is, then that bud was 8% resin. So how are you going to get 21% rosin yield when there's only 8% resin in the buds? Something fishy is going on, I know that much.

Did you offer a better solution/product?
Where has un-winterized, single blast/processed BHO or any oil/dabale product tested over 80%? mostly in the low 70%'s.
Same with rosin. Take It past the basic press to get higher concentrations with less contaminants/waxes.
What you are gripping about with "other than thc" is a problem of all extractions.
What is your point? That he did it all him and is getting excellent and instantly safe dabbale results that aren't 100%thc? Don't think anyone has ever said it's 100% pure thc.

It's called rosin...it's not just resin.

I don't believe he is knocking the process, but questioning the posters numbers... Don't beat up on Cajun Bob Man!

Everyone is so emotional about their processes these days... Maybe I like the taste of Butane in the morning Personally, I like hash whether dry sift or water, however rosin, and co2 extracted, ( I personally stay away from BHO)... That reason is I end up looking like a freaken Jeweler with a piece of shatter in one hand a loup lol.. The quality is all over the place in my opinion...

I know. @Queece grows 27% bud and gets 21% rosin return on his squishes. That is what he said and bob tried to demolish it as if it is some kind of lie.

More pressure and a more scientific approach I am sure he could get more than 21%. I have 28% bud and pulled 26% returns. I'll test my next fresh harvest batches of rosin in a few months thoroughly to show more. But the yield are about as good as any process.
Also considering THC is not in the plant...only in the resins and trichome glands. "rosin extraction" is much more than just resin substance. It is a complex chemical mix of cannabinoids and resin compounds.

He referenced seeing test results and was implied that he had seen more that were higher from other processes.

So, let me ask this do you think LED+UVB can help to increase overall THC production ( however not capacity of production )... Because on another thread someone mentioned that you tested higher THC% on led than HPS... They are kinda implying UVB isn't required to meet optimal thc production... Just wanted to get your take...

My point was that the math doesn't add up to his weed being 27% THC. You have an issue with that, do you? I wasn't griping about rosin being 70-80% THC. I was merely stating the analysis results and pointing out that there's inert material in it. If I wanted high purity THC I would do an extraction with aqueous alkali to get all the THC-A, which is usually almost all of the THC in the plant, and then convert it back to THC-A with acid and decarboxylate it to 99%+ THC. Not much harder than extracting resin actually.

And yeah I know rosin is resin. plant resin which is extracted without solvent and then heated to remove low boiling compounds is called rosin. Since few if any of the people who press resin out of Cannabis bother to cook off the low boiling stuff, it's technically not really rosin. I simply used the currently common term for hot pressed cannabis resin.

Now I have a challenge for you and GM5. Make a lamp that delivers at least 100 microwatts of UV-B and also some UV-A to the canopy, preferably 150-200. Then you would have something somewhat comparable to actual sunlight in, say, Panama. And I can assure you that Panama Red is far more potent than anything grown under HID or white LED. Guess why?

you seem quite obsessed with thc...
