Rosin Tech

Too rich for my blood. Ill stick with green dragon and qwiso.

Wait.. can I make it with frosty trim? 15% of that wouldn't be so bad.

Or does it taste bad with trim?

You can make outstanding solventless rosin with frosty trim, if you tumble it first & squish the kief...rosin is the top shelf for Dabs..

Tumble? Sorry, this is all new to me. Are you talking about the bucket with a screen method? The one that makes a huge fucking golden mess on tables?

Scuse my french.

I think it's trim dependent...

I did fireball trim,pressed into a puck with garlic press..HS set on 180+..gave me some flavorful sticky taffy dabs..

Did some blackdynamite trim,came out runny,very green flavor.

I wouldn't squish trim....only flowers or kief/hash

Using just a hairstraighner
I get 0.4 from 1.2 .3nugs
Put each small bud into plastic and twisted and compressed then put into freezer for 1hr . The cooler the bud is when squashed the tastier i find the rosin to be.(3-4averagetotal)
I find that it is the steam inside the bud that draws out the essential oils In the bud.
(Normally squash chips twice)
I ran a squashed rosin chips under the tap then squashed it.
came out with only roughly about 25%(average)less than the first squash.
I seem to get way more than normal normal not frozen nor compressed i average .2 or less for 1.2gs
Can someone else please give this a try and let me know what you think . ( Lots of steam but that's a good thing? Once you see the steam/vapour stops coming out of the parchment paper stop squishing.
My rig broke a few weeks back .
I'll make up a bit next week and put up better pics.
Is this safe ? Tastes the same and feels the same. But a second opinion would be nice thanks
one bud .5 from last week

1st nd pic normal squashed rosin
2rd3th pic wet chip.
4Th the flower
5.1g_.4

its realy not a pain in the ass
with the rosin I can squish a bud and take a dab in under 2 minutes
this is much more sensible than having to vacuum solvent out of your oil just to make it safe enough to smoke

you two need to try it




this is from 1 gram of bubble hash ( .4g )

So is it safe to assume one could end up with 50% when pressing bubble hash?

What would account for a watery result? I am squishing good nugs at like 0.3g at a time. I have tried all temps from 200 to 350. Each time I am getting yellow oil but its so thin that I can''t even get it off the paper. The buds are dried and cured beautifully. Any ideas?

Try a different strain. Not all strains produce good rosin, even if the strain still smokes nice.

Thanks that sucks.

I've only managed to get about a 25% return when pressing bubble hash pucks. This is close average from strain to strain as well. Im sure there is a better way to press than how I do it, but I just dont know it yet haha.

Why not press teim in micron baggies?

You could but it would take a lot of little tea bags to squish a pound. when you could tumble it first & just press the kief..only a few bags

That's why I did my dry ice extract2

Anybody ever grind up rosin chips and BHO them? I saw a video on John Berfelo's channel where he tested some chips (he has an analyzer at home) and they were 7% THC/THCA. He also tested the stuff he BHOed and it also still had 7% in it, oddly enough. What happens if you grind bud or trim up before BHOing? Does it turn out low quality or get greenish? Never did BHO so I don't know.

All my pressed stuff plus baggies goes in my iso was jar

It turns out dark, not green. I just throw my chips into a pile and then blast them in the next run. That way I don't notice the quality decline. I've never been able to get everything out, I can squish and blast then reblast and then wash the material in alcohol and still have something left in the material.
