Nice! I'll have to check it out. I'm guessing I'll have plenty of material if everything pans out in the gardens to justify getting one? I don't think I understand how much material turns into rosin.
Scissor hash?! Is it exactly as it sounds? A bunch of resin from trimming then just collected into a different container?! Or you load that up into a joint or bowl and smoke it up right there?
So roughly about a gram of rosin for every half ounce of premium flower. That's pretty good. I took a look at the Dab Press site. Holy cow! There are some cool looking machines. Not sure if I can justify it at those prices but damn they look so nice and easy. I'm worried that if I try to do a small DIY press or something not as good, that I will end up not being pleased. All I know is that I really enjoy concentrates. Almost necessary at times depending on the current mood and health status.
Heeeee heeeee. I wish I could have you over to share man. I really do!
Maaaaan...those pics are so damn drool worthy! I cannot wait until I can get a taste test. Haaa haaa. I'm trying so hard to not get impatient.
On let's say 80% of plants just a number I'm tossing out there ...... all the pistils will be orange before lots of people consider looking at trichomes ...... some people or I'm just going to say it lots of old people used to harvest based of just all hairs turning orange , on most plants in my opinion if the hairs dont darken up she is not ready
It's not so much that trichome color generally may not be as accurate outside as much as it is that amber may not be the best gauge outside.
I have read about this interpretation a lot. When you harvest them earlier, with all the strains you have grown, does the buzz typically change to something more uplifting? The longer it matures, the "denser" the sedative affects?
This is where members like you are a great resource! Being able to remember details about a conversation you may have read last week or a couple years ago. Mister...ahem...down below... is very much like that!
Once again, thanks for remembering stuff like this and posting links.
Curios if you have ever harvested a plant in various stages of maturity and then compare the results? If so, is it something you happen to have a link to?
I haven't done any staggered harvest (since my third plant...an auto back in 2017), mostly because I don't have the time or space to keep harvesting washing trimming and hanging on a rolling basis. BL's test results and Amy's wisdom were good enough for me!
Honestly, this is where I cop to 'bro science.' I started out going for mostly amber because I read several good growers say the effect changes based on trichome color, and the "mostly amber for couchlock" was the accepted wisdom, so I just went with that.
Growing in a tent, mostly amber for couchlock is good science. Naturally aged amber trichomes have converted the THC to CBN, which is the cannabinoid most responsible for body stone. It was just outside plants that needed a bit of thinking change to prevent us from harvesting too early and missing out on a lot of the THC from clear not yet gone cloudy.
Amazing looking plant!!! Holy smokes!!!
How did you decide where to sample from? How did you dry it or prep it for a taste/effect test?
Maaaaan Fuzzy. I'm jealous. I just recently tried rosin, wax, concentrate...whatever the hell it is called. Haaa haaa. Anyway, I am new to dabs and I would definitely like to be able to press my own in the future. It's only a matter of time. LOL
What press did you get?
After I was done doing some maintenance defoliating yesterday on my outdoor GSC girl #8, my oldest daughter smelled me and broke down the terpene profile. I was shocked! She picked up mint, citrus, pine, and musk. Not sure if the musk was from me though.
Could you help me understand why foxtailing is looked down upon? Or what exactly is it? I can see the general shape of the flower as a foxtail but is it something else that identifies it as well? What are the flowers supposed to look like if not foxtailing?
I think I've changed my plan at least 2 or 3 dozen times at this point of my grow. Haaa haaa. I keep watching videos of rosin presses. I'm so damn tempted to drop some $ to get a press setup. Basically...I pay between $30-60 for a gram of concentrate at the dispensary. Sometimes I get an 0.5 or 1 gram for $1 through promotions. Needless to say that basically at an average of $40 per gram, it would only be 10 visits to the dispensary to justify even a cheaper small machine!
