It wasn’t worth it, I lost my job and alienated most of my family. This was before cell phones and Facebook so I never even heard the truth until Thanksgiving dinner months later.

I did still have a great harvest that paid for me to go to college and learn computers which I still do for work now. Everything happens for a reason.

Thanks for the refined gummy recipe Doob. Infusing the corn syrup is a great idea, it;s good to hear that you think it works well :D

Different homes... hopefully as we ‘mature’ we get better at home-making, and then we want to be there. We lost maybe get worse at tolerating all the shit ‘out there’ :laughtwo:

With all the delivery services available in our society... I can get all supplies needed delivered within a week, including weed (if needed). Why go out and talk to anybody?

Sounds about right. That’s only changed for me since i am in forced isolation becasue of health. SOmetimes even a trip to the doctors i”m all like ... “ooh! People! People doing things...! :D”

It's when I answer out-loud ...

Is that a problem...? :hmmmm: I talk out loud to myself quite a bit :ganjamon: And to my plants, but that’s not crazy, right? Honestly i go for days, weeks even, without seeing or hearing from anyone except my carer or my partner (and sometime that’s the same single person). I’ve decided that talking to myself is perhaps a necessary means of maintaining my sanity...

The rosin infused gummies came out perfectly clear and colorful.

Yeah, that sounds irk the ticket! DO you have a press, Doob? Or are you just making it with the Bullet?

I have decided my next neighbor canna purchase is a press. But I’ll need all the bells and whistles as it needs to be an ease-y process, physically. It’s a long way away, time wise I think, as I have to save for it... but rosin gummies... there’s an aspirational thought to carry along!

I’ve thought a lot about this lately, the immediacy of modern comms, and kind of how oppressive it can be. Remember when we used to just make dates to meet up with friends and then just do it... or when to find your friends, you’d just go to the regular hangouts... no texts, and much better solitude between exchanges. I resisted getting a phone for a really long time... about 2011 was the fall ;)

I use the slug33 forge thing. It’s not great but it works good enough for a little rosin here and there. I want a press but can’t justify the $500 or so on it. Maybe if I get more into cooking. Infusing with rosin is super easy and since there is no straining or anything I figure if it blends, it’s probably 98% efficient (maybe a little loss due to heat).

Oh - slug33, that’s it! All I could think of was bullet... :laughtwo: cLose, but no cigar!

There are fully automated rosin presses out there. They are much more expensive than the manual ones, and I was not impressed by the specifications. I ended up with the Dabpress 10 ton table top model. I bought the Strongway pump with a pressure gauge. It works quite well. If you have problems achieving full pressure, you can extend the handle or get an electric pump. For a single 7gm, 30mm round puck I only hit 2500lb pressure for about 30 seconds. That's about 2-1/2 tons at the plates. The main part of the squeeze is at 1000lb, or one ton at the plates. The Dabpress I have can easily handle two of these pucks at a time. It takes about 15 minutes to prepare and press 1/2 oz. That info may help you decide on the size of press you need.

Give me a shout when you are ready to buy. The press is a one-time purchase, but you'll need supplies to use it. I've found a good parchment to use, and am looking at some cost-effective options for the filter bags.
 
Thanks Salty! I’ll definitely come to you when I’m able to get more serious. An electric press sounds like the go. I can use that post right away as a reference for learning about all the different components :thumb:


Edit: just found your review post on it! Very helpful...
 
For trying and testing rosin the Slug.33 is fantastic

Yer probably into it total at $100

But I do love my Dabpress 3t, works fantastic. I've done 5gr squishes and love it

Okay after much trial and error with several different recipes and techniques this is the perfect gummy recipe (for me):

Ingredients:
  • 1 3-ounce box Jello (flavor is up to you, I didn’t like grape at all)
  • 1 pkg. Knox unflavored gelatin
  • 1/2 teaspoon citric acid (add more, up to a whole teaspoon, to make sour gummies)
  • 1/4 cup corn syrup (infused)*
  • 1/3 cup water (fridge temperature)
  • 1/8 teaspoon LorAnn Preserve-it Mold Inhibitor - Potassium Sorbate (optional)
You will also need:
  • Silicone candy molds
  • Coconut Oil spray (or any cooking spray probably)
  • Corn starch (optional)
Prep *Decarb and Infusion:
  • Decarb ~8-16 grams of cannabis or 1/2 to 1 gram shatter, wax or rosin (strength is totally up to you, I prefer them weaker because they’re delicious and I eat too many at a time).
  • Infuse decarbed cannabis into 1/4 cup corn syrup
  • Lightly spray the molds with coconut oil spray
Working Instructions:
  • Mix Jello, Citric Acid and the unflavored gelatin in a microwaveable bowl. Stir to mix up the powders.
  • Add infused corn syrup and water while gently stirring, try not to create bubbles but get it mixed well.
  • Let sit for 5 minutes so the gelatin can bloom then gently stir again.
  • Microwave for 30 seconds then stir
  • Microwave for 15 seconds then stir
  • Microwave for 15 seconds then stir
  • Microwave for 15 seconds then stir
  • Microwave for 15 seconds then stir
  • For a total of 1 minute 30 seconds
  • Let sit for 10-15 minutes while stirring every 2 minutes or so. To get the perfect gummy texture it needs to thicken up just right before you put it in the molds. If you wait too long or take too long filling the molds it will be too thick to suck up with eye droppers.
  • Add the mixture to the molds and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes
  • Refrigerate for 30-60 more minutes then remove from molds
  • Leave them spread out on parchment paper to air dry for 24 hours and turn them and let sit for another 24 hours. If you keep them refrigerated they “should” last indefinitely if you added the preservative, or a couple weeks if not.
  • After they dry you can sprinkle a little corn starch on them to keep them from sticking together.
* I used the Ardent Nova to decarb and infuse the corn syrup, but there are many other ways to do the same process like the Instantpot, MagicButter Machine, or stovetop. Basically you just want to put your decarbed herbs/rosin in with the corn syrup at just bellow simmering temperature for about 4 hours.

Enjoy and let me know what you think if you give it a try.

I'm going to look less at life situations as dependent on perspectives only and start seeing the lessons as well! Shed and his lessons!!!

I used 1 gram first and then switched to a 1/2 gram for the next batch which I liked a lot better. They taste like candy, not herbs so it’s easy to eat a lot of them. Burps do taste a bit like herb though.

I have very small bear molds and also much larger worms which are about 4-5 bear sized.

In your dry environment you might need less drying time. They’re totally good without it, but leaving them out for two days made the texture almost exactly the same as store bought gummies. Three days made them a little too firm.

Yeah, I had a feeling the rest of us had just been wasting our time here. :cheesygrinsmiley:
 
I’ve been feeling a bit down lately, probably a combo of losing the whitefly war and “testing” all those gummies I made in the last two weeks. Work has been relentless too. Today I woke up with a new found energy or something. I jar’d up the early BerryBomb, didn’t weigh it though it seems like about 3oz. I cleaned out all my pots from harvesting a couple weeks ago. Now I’ve just got to clean up all the perlite and wash wash wash it.

I think I’ll be harvesting every couple days for about two weeks then when everything is jar’d and nothings flowering, I’ll bomb everything again with an insecticide fogger and hope for the best.

Here’s the next gen of clones a bit over ready for transplanting. I got one of every strain I have in there. BerryBomb, Candida, Sour G, Peyote Critical, Unknown OG #2 (which I now think is actually the #1 indica pheno which I thought was lost!), Violet Unknown, Black Cherry Punch, It’s It Punch, and two Blueberry (that I should just kill).

Here is the flowering tent, lots of leaf damage but the buds look decent, thankfully.

Candida, I noticed ladybug eggs in here, hopefully the babies will eat the whitefly eggs. I think I didn’t have good enough timing with them. Now it’s almost harvest time and they’re starting to propagate.
