Make sure it's not over anything being droughted!I can't stop drooling
Rosin rods indeed, good to see you've been keeping busy DD!
I need to get set up to squish some rosin soon.
Your plants look so lush and perfect.
All that kief isn't from your grinder is it? Guess you must have a screen? My hand grinder doesn't seem to collect much, it's disappointing. When I was younger we used to modify the lid on our coffee grinders to purposely collect more kief. Had a pencil jammed in there at one point lol... good times. Cheers DD, stable is looking good as always.
Looks like stable genetics, DD. Beautiful plants, Donk!

If you get the chance, look up "Buddies Wooden Pollen Sifter". Dump your grinder contents into the box, give it a shake. For extra kief collection, drop a nickel in.It is from the grinder. The grinder in the picture above in fact.
I scrape the mulled flower across the screen each time I use it. It helps to push it through. I wasn’t collecting it for a while and I used a different grinder. Now I have a few uses for it I keep as much as I can.
Not harsh? That's one thing I was curious on.I can’t take credit for any of it but it’s all so fun to run.
It is such a great way to smoke your meds! The taste immediately just shouts ridiculous deliciousness at you and before you know it, let me rephrase. Soon enough you have a depth and understanding of your cannabis experience that you most definitely know you are having and no mistake.
Thank you brother,You dribble wherever you like, Rexer. It’s ok.
If you get the chance, look up

I think I need to put my bib back on with a description like that.I will, cheers. I don’t really have the need for great volumes of kief rather that I’m just finding it useful. Especially for rolling those little rosin logs.
It really isn’t harsh. Kief is harsh to smoke by itself and makes me cough if I’m not careful if I put enough in a joint to make a difference.
The rosin is soooo smoooooth it’s like creamed velvet. The taste (and all that follows) is an exaggerated version of whatever strain/variety you squish. The taste is pure.
I think you’d probably quite like it.
To boldly go where no Bud has gone beforeIn a ga(rden)xy far, far away...
Ofcourse I'm late reading this oh well ill be checking out the stable in stylePain Oil
This is why I became a member here - to find out how to do this.
Batches vary according to available biomass, but broadly speaking each step is the same and each batch is better than the last as the quality of available material continues to improve. Each step of this process has been battle tested now.
RAW MATERIALS
1. Fan leaves. The healthiest fans that get plucked for airflow are dried on racks and stored in a large paper bag. These are used raw (undecarbed) for THCA and flavonoids.
2. AVB. Already vaped bud. This is decarbed by the temperatures of vaping (just as combusting flower in a joint decarbs the acid forms of cannabinoids and does this chemical thing for you just before you inhale).
3. Trim and flower. Dried and cured.
4. Spent pucks from rosin production.
This is everything for the infusions.
This becomes the base oil which I will use as-is in cooking, or add lecithin to it to make dosing capsules. When I make it in to this pain oil instead I fortify it in a final step at bottling using rosin.
Here we go
THE METHOD
I make my infusions in two stages. Each stage infuses for two days.
STAGE ONE
For this run I had three ounces of combined Bubba’s Sis and Star Killer OG leaves.
And three ounces of AVB.
My target temperature range for infusing is 85 degrees Celsius plus or minus five degrees.
That six ounces went in to only one litre of EVOO (extra virgin olive oil).
STAGE TWO
I decarbed this material the day before I needed it so that it could overnight in the freezer afterwards. This is found to help terpene retention.
Target temperature is 115-120 degrees Celsius for two hours. So 120 for 120.
Sealed in those foil pouches is 2 ounces of trim and flower (from Alaskan Purple, Gorilla Zkittlez, Critical Purple Kush) and 13 ounces of spent pucks. Yes thirteen.
I had to add another litre of oil.
And that is the base oil.
Now it gets fun. Now we fortify it in batches by the bottle. R&D, trial and error has given me a ball park for rosin of 1g + per 30ml bottle.
PAIN OIL
It is impossible to tell before a press sesh what a yield will be so I decided for uniformity that each bottle will get whatever comes from 8g of flower. In this case GSC #4.
4.7g from 24. Is that 19.5%?! Wow GSC#4 was a sticky one. And the puck collection has started again.
Target temperature range as above, but rosin decarbs more quickly.
I went to snap what turned out to be a blurry photo to show how the rosin bubbles as it decarboxylates.
I went straight back out to snap another and the chemical process had finished you can tell by looking with rosin because the bubbles stop.
I had that silicone tub covered with foil while it was in the oven. It took between 45 and 50 minutes.
Then I filtered a measured amount of the base oil and put some of that into a jug where I mixed in the decarbed rosin while everything was still warm.
I put the same amount into each of three bottles then topped them off with the little filtered oil I had kept back.
Q.E.D. You’ve had your Quota of Erudite Donkey now.
It’s a piece of cake. Like this one, which used up the last of both my CBD and THC based base oils.
Terribly morish too.
And yes, so I keep CBD pucks separate from the others. This run didn’t use any straight CBD based sources.
The reason I don’t add lecithin to these pain drops is because they aren’t intended primarily for GI absorption. This oil is intended as oral drops and is rapidly taken up through the mucosa of the mouth and throat. It can be microdosed throughout the day or puddled as needed. A personal dose may be titrated by counting drops into coffee if that’s your thing. It also works transdermally on aches and pains as massage drops, but it does mean you smell of it.
I have to thank @Dohc007 for the bottles.
@Dohc007 for the bottles No points for guessing what surprises might be in your stockings this year dohc
I’ll be green fairying some of these to a needy and worthy one or two to start with.
Have fun with the recipe, folks. It really is a good one. May it serve you well.
Not a surprise at all DD...congrats on the nomination! Stable looks just that.A great big to whoever it was that nominated the Stable for a jotm.
