Grandpa Likes To Squeeze Stuff: Solventless Extracts, Rosin, Pressed Here!

Doing some reading.... a touch confused and a bit lazy.
Too lazy to read back and find the answer, but wondering if folks decarb before pressing. I mean, I guess it couldn't hurt, but then I lean on that 'lazy' habit again.

I do not decarb before squeezing, but I often decarb the rosin afterwards for making olive oil capsules etc.

It’s really easy—easier than decarbing weed IMO—to do. I put the rosin in a silicon container and put it in my little toaster oven at 220 F keeping an eye on it. When it stops bubbling its decarbed. Usually within 15-20 minutes. Low and slow to save terps. Less mess and less smell than decarbing a bunch of trim...which I used to do all the time.

NO. Also there are a number of pressers on youtube and the web that cite that pressing buds at temperature actually partially decarbs the bud.

There is a video of an individual who presses, then places the rosin in a silicone thumb container and cooks it for another 30m or so at 200, then dilutes the rosin into glycerin to pain on dried pineapple. I have not tried this method....but I do love infused pineapple.
 
You know what time it is! Squeezed some GSC Auto that’s not fully cured. It’s smokable, but will be much better in a few weeks. However, after squeezing some and trying a few hits...I’m okay with it.

In fact, my first bag had a complete blowout, and it still tastes great and is very Stoney. I didn’t try the second bag—because I was wasted from two hits of the first squeeze—but you can certainly see the difference in color. Because of the blowout, the first squeeze has more contamination...duh...

Anyway, it’s still good so I cleaned my nectar collector and hit it again. Enjoy!













 
Very nice GPT! I just hit some of my mix shit kush with some cbd added. I had a big ass brownie earlier, ones I made with a double batch of oil....very moist!

As I scroll down and look at the time lapse, if I saw that straw appear and one of those blobs of rosin disappear completely.....lol.

What is the cleaning routine for the straw?

Sheer Bliss GT! Beautiful squeeze and some lovely rosin!!! How long did you dry the GSC before pressing?? Looks terpy!

Oddly enough, today was the first day I attempted to clean it. I used a little ISO with a touch of salt. I wish I would’ve taken a before picture because it was pretty filthy. It looks decent. Anyway, this time I used some cranberry juice so cleanup will be easier next time.

Tastes like a strawberry nestles quick...if you know what that tastes like. I’m old... Whatever...it is very terpy with a hint of cake or muffin mix/batter. It’s pretty yummy. It’s going to be even better in a few weeks/month. It’s only been curing for four days. I’m surprised at the taste actually. Pleasantly surprised.

That sounds fantastic!! Looks beautiful!! I bet it will be even better after a good cure like you said! I’m excited to experiment in these upcoming weeks with kief pressing and dry ice sifting so should be lots of fun and some great presses!

I’m looking forward to watching you squeeze it... that just ain’t right when it’s written out like that! :thedoubletake:
 
Never tried fruit juice in a rig. Need to try that.

I have a busy day. Trimming, cooking, pressing, and stoning.

I think I am going to press some 707 today, maybe an 1/8th to see where I am at, last time I pressed 5 day old it was pretty wet. Being at 11 days....heck.

I put cranberry juice in my bongs too. Keeps them clean. Good luck trimming...I’m glad it’s not me. :cheesygrinsmiley:

I have started trimming pretty light now that I am pressing most of it...most of those sugar leaves have tricome as well. This was a pretty larfy plant so it was more picking and pulling buds off.

LIVE ROSIN is created by cutting harvesting and freezing buds right away then taking DryIce or BubbleBags and making kief sift or hash and then pressing it. This process takes the Trichome heads before and degrading starts to happen preserving that FULL SPECTRUM effects of the plant. This is when your start diving into

I just harvested my critical ladies and they turned out fantastic! I’m an OCD trimmer so I manicure very close but I save all my trim! Check out the sugar leaf and trim from these ladies!

I have frozen this all right away and will be sifting it with DryIce and then pressing! I’ll be sure to do the whole tutorial at my thread!
