Morning Shed, still in Trim Jail, 5 plants down and 6 more to go. I was hoping for a more spread out harvest, but the majority have come into their harvest window within a week of each other.

I'll be over to your thread today...I want to see all the action!Morning Shed, still in Trim Jail, 5 plants down and 6 more to go. I was hoping for a more spread out harvest, but the majority have come into their harvest window within a week of each other.
Thanks smokey! I had one of those and completely bent it trying to get the oil out! And it relies on grip strength and the hand size, which I found limited its usefulness.Good morning Shed I use a potato ricer to give the cheese cloth a good squeezing.
The older I get , my grip strength progressively weakens. Wonder why ?

Even speed clamps rely on grip strength. The advantage to C-clamps or a vice is the leverage they provide, allowing you to get enough pressure to crush the wood if you kept going.
Ya I have bent a few of them but so far the best technique I have come up with. I would like to get something like this but not sure I want to spend that much.Thanks smokey!

Good use of it as well! I'm sure my clamps don't have the pressure of a good rosin press.Felonious and I bought a rosin press at the end of last year. We haven't made any rosin yet but it's perfect for getting all (or most of) the oil back out of the meds.
Before that, I was just using a metal strainer but was also considering a fruit press or French press.
I have heard good things about that strain. Especially for squishing. I will definitely be growing some of that out in the futureYou wanna grow some Crop King Hash Plant and make oil if you don't mind becoming very stupid for periods of time. With a couple spoonfuls of mine I don't have the desire to even breathe. Excellent to put you to sleep. I wouldn't know how to calculate the potency though.
exactly that! And that!had one of those and completely bent it trying to get the oil out! And it relies on grip strength and the hand size, which I found limited its usefulness.
awesome idea! I’m going to look into thatFrench press.
1. The MB machine operates at 160ºF, so if you can get to that, do.Thanks for the oil making post Shed! A couple of questions if you don’t mind?
1 - what is the ideal lowest temperature if your oven will go lower than 170?
2 - does the mash have to be strained while it’s super hot or can you wait until it’s a little more manageable?
3 - do you think that using an immersion blender on the oil might help it strain a little easier or just make a big mess?
4 - do you use the squished mash for other recipes or do you trash/compost it?
Thank you!
Thank you! An immersion blender shreds everything in the liquid. I use one to make whole grain mustard after soaking the seeds for 24 hours and also for blending cooked vegetables for soups, etc. I’ve heard that the MB machine has an immersion-like blade in it so I was curious why And thought maybe it was helpful to grind all that stuff up right before you strain it. LSL is Linseed something?1. The MB machine operates at 160ºF, so if you can get to that, do.
2. More manageable is fine, but if you're dissolving LSL in it, warmer is better.
3. I'm not sure how one of those would help with the straining. Don't they just mix things up in a pot?
4. If you don't mind the texture, there is THC/CBD left in the mash (and some oil), so it can definitely be used elsewhere. SweetSue used to bake her THC mash into brownies for an added kick to the canna-butter she used for the batter. I usually dry it out and put it in the salve bin (of course!), but this time I just tossed it as the boxes are overflowing already.
The bud is ground after it's decarbed, or there would be no way to get 8 ounces of oil to cover 30g of flower!Thank you! An immersion blender shreds everything in the liquid.

I mixed in just under a tablespoon of liquid sunflower lecithin (LSL).
