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

[gr865]

These are the 6 buds I picked from for that last 7 gram puck. Got two more pucks to from these buds.

Nice!

Yo @gr865 that squish looks insane good. How does it taste? I know...dumb question. It tastes good im sure.

The BF LSD is one of my fav's, not strong flavor but sweet and the you can taste it with the draw and the exhale. It is an insanely good stone, makes you want to lay down for a bit, but don't plan on sleeping, you will have so much shit going on in your head there is no way you could sleep.

OK, So I did a little test. Press two 7 gram plugs, one was one inch, the second was 1/2 inch. I tried hand pressing the first one (1 inch) but could not get it small enough to get into my machine, so had to lightly squeeze the puck with my fly vice. The second (1/2 inch) was packed tight by the fly vice.
One Inch

1/2 inch

Top 1.143 grams, Bottom 1.012

This was not scientific, but this test showed the more compressed puck got 0.131 grams more out of the same press time. Only difference could the the pressure applies, no gauge on my 6 ton pump to get consistent pressure.

Hey I think your right. I went back and looked and they recommended compressing the bud puck really tight.

You know I haven’t been prepressing my pucks. I don’t think the hand smashing is cutting it. I’ll bet that’s why that shit bust out of the bag sometimes.

Since I went to a larger press, I don't pre press or puck anything, it's just buds with major stems removed packed by thumb in the bag.

Making pucks takes time.

How large of a press?

What size bag?

Hell all I got is time, I ain't got no money, but got a damn nice honey.
If I did not press my pucks I would be a bigger retired slug than I am now.

with the 3 ton I did up to an 1/8. I press up to a half zip on the 12 ton.

Do you measure yield? Note any major difference in yield, other than just the bigger press.

when I feel like it....but have not in a few weeks. on pressing 1/8ths, I got about 10% mo' w the larger press.

I don’t have any Blue Cookie. I guess I’m just going to hit this stuff instead...

Poor me.

Lol yea poor gramps all he got is this pile of liquid gold hahaha man that looks so tastey congrats. What is this stuff called?

 

[Blazinjones]

Barneys Farm LSD
7 grams = 1.453 grams @ 210 degrees. 45 seconds warming and 2.5 minute press.
Again I am compressing my pluk with the DapPress mold maker. 0.5 inches then in the filter bag, 160 mesh, stitched end removed and then cut in half.

Like the way the puck fits into the filter bag, and a pic of the puck warming up.

The Squish this started at 25 second of the press.

And I was worried I would get bored with nothing to do while taken a vacation from growing until this fall.
This is the second best hobby I have!

Zeppelin never sounded so good.

Am I just really stoned or does this look like the southern half of the Good Ol' US of A.

well shit either I'm high as well but I see it......oh wait I am high an I still see it lol.

 

[Grandpa Tokin]

I’ve been pre pressing. I only do ~ 5 gm per bag and I usually make two bags (10gm). I press them separately but that normally lasts me 5-7 days of heavy dabbing (allbymyselfalone). Although, lately I seem to be dabbing more frequently...because I can.

I proved on page 1 of this tutorial that bottle tech yields more versus flat tech. Pre-pressing combined with bottle tech seems to produce a higher return on investment. However, like @nobodyhere mentioned, it takes time...at least a full minute or two...LMAO! Stoner! I don’t always do it either. LOL!

Smash that shit!!!

Grandpa’s thought of the day:

I have an abundance of good weed to squeeze. Yes, yes I do.

It’s all about perspective and maximum torque available.

 

[gr865]

Watched a video, I think it was yesterday, where a guy took his "chips" (squished plugs), put a few of them together and repressed and got more rosin out. Couldn't tell the quantity but a nice glob.

Gonna give it a shot later.

I did it the other day and just got a little. Not enough to worry about doing second presses. But if your like me, you'll have to prove it for yourself.

Ditto there my friend!

When smoking cannabis flower, 75% joints/25% bowls, I consume on average around 2 grams +/-, a day, so around two zips a month. Never a worry of running out with two grows a year. This has really been a strain on my lungs of late. Now vaping Rosin using a Quartz straw I am smoking a hell of a lot less and getting higher and my lungs feel better, not near as much coughing.
Counting this mornings run of G13 Haze, 7 grams = 1.313 grams, I believe I will be averaging around 1.2 grams per run.
So that would be 4.8 grams/28 grams cannabis.
Hell I don't see myself doing approx. 5 grams of Rosin every 15 days or 1/3 of a gram a day.

I am cleaning out my library stash, about 1.2 lbs of smokable buds from my last 6 grows, added to about 1.5 lbs for this last harvest. They have been well cured and stored in Bell jars with 62% Boveda packs. Of that I had planned on using 1.5 pounds to make FECO. Now if I make half of the remaining stash, 18 zips, into Rosin that would be about 9 zips for Rosin or 43 grams, leaving me 6 zips for joints, and leave me 3 extra zips to add to my FECO. What a Win/Win situation.

Conclusion:
I am very stoned at present, but I see it as being able to have more cannabis, Rosin/Flower, to make more FECO, my Medicine of choice. Now thanks to the Rosin I will be making around 27 plus zips into FECO. I also have bags of untrimmed buds and sugar leaf that will go into FECO. That should make me around 170 grams of Cold Processed FECO. Though I used it as Med's, now I use 0.1 to 0.2 grams a day for wellness. I also give it to people in need. I work with a group of young vets with issues, mostly PTSD, give them pot, teaching them how to grow and to make FECO. Most of this group have moved on, they still keep in touch, most are better growers than I am.

I believe every person over 50 should take 0.1 plus grams/day for general wellness and attitude adjustment

I think I will proof read this a few times.
