Not quite but I just used coffee filters for filtering the oil solvent.

It's just basically a little still so that I can recycle my alcohol to reuse making tinctures instead of just letting it evaporate to the atmosphere and losing it.

Not quite is pretty good for just using coffee filters. I was using 80 µm bags I have from when I attempted squishing but I was reading most people use 25 µm so I ordered some of them. I read that coffee filters are 20 µm so that should be pretty close and hopefully, they don't absorb quite as much as coffee filters. I think I'll do a couple more experiments to find the sweet spot because I know it's now using the freezer method not too far from five minutes. Or maybe I will just use the double wash system with five minutes. When I rehydrated those test samples the ones with longer times had much more sediment than the quick five-minute wash one so maybe that extra weight was just junk. I didn't think till it was too late but I should've weighed it.
I tried to do my first wash within 3 mins of coming out of the freezer. Gotta move fast.

Would you do a second wash? That is what someone suggested. I forget who but they seemed to know what they were talking about.
Second wash is longer but has more impurity’s to remove. It’s still good tincture.
Sounds very similar how I used to make oil makes pretty decent oil.
It really turns out week I think.
The second wash?
It turns out well, damn fat fingers!

I have a few bugs to work out with my tincture but it is doing the job, no doubt about that. 
Yours should be really clean.

My Gorilla Glue continues to bud nicely. The buds are not as big as my Northern Lights in the past but they are just as sticky and at least as dense. I am interested to see the final tally.
Bruce Banner is acting more like the HULK the way it is resisting training; she has strong branches with a mind of their own but I am slowly taming her.

Just be careful she don’t break a branch off.

Good advice because I have done that in the past.
Both plant are awesome Homer. I am starting to get the impression that you're a little bit of a perfectionist and I say that in a good way.

Really looking good bud! Just read through all your disappointment with seed companies in Canada. I use a small breeder I found online “just a handful of seeds” great service for a one man team and really good selection and amazing prices.
