Tinctures, salves, blams, topical rubs, pretty much any type of med I can or already do make for my patients.

@DemonTrich testing is carried out by licensed labs?

Any of you Rosin guys know anything about the Happy Buddha Press? It caught my eye a few months ago but I have yet to find where I can buy one and for how much. Anyone have any info on this press?

You can get food oil presses that are hot/cold, so they self heat, don't know the temp range.
Anyway, since I was talking about turpentine I figured I'd pick up a can and use it as the solvent to extract fresh wet bud with for making crystal THCA. I used Coleman fuel before but god knows what's in that. It's pink color for some reason. Also the turp should be okay to dump down the sink without polluting the world. Being a natural product I assume it will degrade or at least not cause much harm, and if any small amount remains as an impurity in the bud-rock it won't be a problem because there's more than that in any extract, I would think, at least if it's a high pinene strain. At least it smells better than camping fuel.
BTW, I saw a guy on YT smoking some rock THCA and he said it cost him $100 for 1/2 g. Might be a good product to have. I would charge half that though, if I was a dispensary. That would be about right, since it's about 50% higher THCA/THC content than rosin/BHO, at least non-winterized BHO. Not worth $200/g though.

I don't own pesticides, nor do I have any mold/mildew/pm issues, ever. I do not believe in testing facilities. Their numbers are extremely exaggerated/inflated, or just plain out of wack of what the true numbers are. Someone set up psi labs with 1 big cola from same plant. He gave 3 samples from said cola and put 3 different strain names. ALL came back with different thc results, 16%, 21%, and 26%, or around those numbers. This was 3yrs ago, so the actual numbers might be off a bit, but the variances between theb3 numbers were drastic.

Anyone recommend a clamp for max pressure without breaking my hair iron?
I have to practically jump on the think to get rosin out of cured bud.
Someone said to do dried but not cured bud? Anyone have success putting a drop of water on cured bud to get more rosin?
@genuity do you dry the trim first before pressing and how would i go about doing that? I dont want crumbled leaves in my rosin.

The only clamps worth buying are the Irwin bar clamps, XP model. There are other models that only have 300 lb pressure but the XP are 600 lb. They cost less than $40 usually. The hair iron casing will probably give out eventually. Hair irons weren't really designed for high pressure clamping.
BTW I don't think adding water would help, but maybe a couple drops of a solvent of some sort and then use very low temp or no heat at all. I haven't actually tried it, just an idea I had. Could probably squirt some butane into it. Technically it would be a solvent extraction but with minimal solvent, much less than normally used in BHO blasting, therefore less impurities.

Give your buds a 4 or 5 second steam over a boiling tea kettle before you put them in your garlic press. That will soften them so they don't crumble so much and may increase your yield if your using pretty dry stuff.

Any tips on squishing kief?
Also, will lower temp squishes result in an easier to handle product?

Thanks, that model/brand does look nice and it's priced a few hundred less than the RTP and does about 1000 lbs more pressure.

I'm very happy with my harbor freight 20ton and plates vs the overpriced already made pneumatic presses.

Space is a factor and the table top models look like they'll work for me. I know I'll pay more for something that probably won't work as well but ah well.

The 20ton has a 3.5x3'x5.5' foot print. Drake has a nice table top 10 ton unit.
