Rosin Tech

There a thread with Rosin returns from various flower/strains/cuts? Just curious.

Best I've seen is my Shackzilla from Sannie @ 26.7% from 170g (one plant) - about 45g.

Next up is Sugar Punch @ 25.9% but I haven't gotten a read on what I think is my best plant yet.

707 Headband yielded 24%.

I really love this process. Feels like a great way to get a bead on what to keep and what not to keep as well, or at least confirm that you're making good choices. I realize it would be difficult if not impossible to figure out, but I wonder what the rough translation is in terms of overall cannabinoid content relative to yield from this process.

lower temps keeps most of the terpenes there.

Now a lot dumbasses that would normally blow themselves up or just dont have the equipment to make bho properly. Have a safe and cleaner way of getting shatter or wax.

lower temps / longer press - shatter

higher temps / shorter press - more waxy / sappy

I think its great. You can take the 25µ, 45µ, 160µ and turn it into 6 star full melt. The 190µ into 4-5 star ¾ melt. . With bubble the 73µ, 90µ, 120µ are the only screens that produce 6 star full melt. Turning the other screens into rosin ups your total return.

Pressing flowers is a great way to judge the quality of flowers too.

Now do you mean they can be full melt on they're own or once pressed for rosin? Does it Have to be pressed with a clamp or vice for extra pressure? I tried to squeeze a straightener with my hands... didn't get Abything really!!!?!?

What's your technique? Those are great returns! Fresh or dry? Did you run it for Hash then press, or just straight nug pressed?

So it's a friends press. He has a Sasquash with appropriate compressor. I'm not sure what PSI he's using but he's @ 240F and goes for a minute typically. It's straight nug packed in those nylon bags.

Just wait in the future there will be a machine that you literally put the whole harvested plant in one end. stalk and all, and out the other comes rosin, dry sift, and edible grade oil. You just select what you want. The machine does the rest. It's the MJ Harvester. Kind of like a combine harvester. And they thought we would have flying cars by now.

Yep exactly.!

3.5 flowers yeilded 1.15g rosin from my general ok strain (God bud). This was a 1st and 2nd pressing total.

damn for real!?! How long did you press each time!? That's Great return! Rosin looks the way to go...

How do you like those 240 temps? I'm afraid to go over 225*.

We've found it seems to improve yield slightly. But I do think it probably comes at a slight loss in terps. However it all turns out so terpy it's hard to argue with the end product. We've done repress but we tend to use the leftover bags in edibles instead. They tend to make strong butters because the surface area is so much improved if you really jam them in there.

I did a repress on my Sugar Punch and got another notable amount out after once though. Darker colored for me than the first press. Not quite as terpy or nice either.

Sup Cannakis, How u doin mon??
If U wanna learn a shit tonne in under an hour u may reallly wanna go straight to the source and scope out the youtube Elysian Research videos on their h frame..
Bit dry but super helpful

They go over pre pressing pucks, bi and tri directional folding techniques, avoiding blowouts, differences between using early vs old product, cold plate and collection tricks, temp ranges, times, and the type of cannabinoids they isolate and consistencies they produce, the inherent kief/hash and flower yields, tempering processes for handle-ability and terp retention, pressing dollars in a tshirt press afterwards, n much more, and they are the humble and informative owner operators of perhaps the best personal/professional rosin machine

Obvs No need for a living room sized 100000 tonne machine like some of the IG cats

Much of our theories can be developed off the ER h frame and their trials and errors

To give u an idea, They took 130 grams of low grade hashKiev a year old and pulled out lil over 77% or about 100grams of terpene rich rosin, totally rejuvenating the crops diminishing value

Stunning how much 7000lbs of pressure can push out especially when it's on its side, shit just all drops out of the same side like mad!!!

I think I'm gonna hit it lower then higher and keep my grades and colours separate a bit. Until I get busy with work.

But first, I gotta build one.

H frame all the way. Did someone wanna coach they boy thru it!? Or wait, that offer was in the 20tonne thread, hey!? Sheeit
Pulled all nighter
Getting retarded lol

Awesome!!! Thanks so much brother for all your help I can't wait to do some more learnin! My old lady gave me her hair straightener and I bought a irvin grip 300lbs... maybe I should have done 600lbs...

I will be watching the videos this week, when time permits, however...without going into great detail, what is the word on well cured vs fresh nugs?

Yeah, cured nugs work fine @Bubba's girl but the color is a fair bit darker, especially the lower temp presses which are my fav, so yeah less clear and bright and purdy, that's all

and depending on how tight ones cure game and storage game was, it may affect terps and flavour a bit too

That said, imo the best presses will be off plant matter a few days old that is still technically living, but was harvested some-what early, up to a few weeks early especially if ran organically under full spectrum

That's where u get those most flavour and highest terp content anyway, and the highest quality product possible which demands mucho respect
