Should I start with a small amount or just go for as much as possible keep adding it into the palm of my hand until it's all there. Would it be a similar technique to making charas? (I've watched a few charas videos and that is kind of what I followed for my practice run).
I'll be doing this while smoking hash and watching movies so I may end up pressing for over an hour, lol. Is there a limit to how long I should press? I just keep going until it feels like I'm there?
You start with a small amount and stick to it until it's finished, 2 to 3 g will be plenty enough.
You will never last an hour my friend, you have to literally work a blister and that will start under 15 minutes if you apply the pressure and friction necessary.
Pressing sieved resin (dry or ice water) is very different to making Charas.
Sieved resin needs a lot of pressure and heat to fuse together. Charas is rub super gently from the flowers but is a mass of resin in your hand without real pressure applied, not individual resin heads.
Live resin is something else and is the most amazing experience you can have with Cannabis resin.
We did some with TC this past harvest and you will see the process in coming Hunters of the Dank episode
We made somewhere around 2g in 45 minutes.
TC took some sick macro of it. Yes the resin is red, Aficionado Cherry Limeade, Mean Gene girls, 3rd place at the last Emerald Cup.
Amazing plant. We will have some to burn at this coming Cup.
