Putting a shredded oz. into a cup of glycerin? Doesn't all that weed just soak up the glycerin? Sounds like the food press is a must, don't see how one could do it, otherwise.

fdd try looking at these maybe, they are used to press the tea away from your hot tea, you could maybe add a coffee filter to the press part.
they sell these at world market
this one is $12 online
* Temp Out: Bodum Personal Tea Press
1L Nalgene Bottle and Coffee/Tea Press #4081
14% This item is one of our personal favorites. We liked it so much we bought a couple for ourselves. It’s a collapsible coffee/tea press that turns your wide-mouth Lexan or Nalgene bottle into an instant coffee pot. It not only brews coffee the way it should be brewed – it also features a spout for pouring or sipping right from the bottle with no spills. It’s also the lightest press on the market. Regular cleaning will eliminate any potential ‘coffee stink’. 8.5”x3.5”, 2 oz.
Save when buying both.

this is seemingly progressing well - though slow - for those that have gone with that method. I have decided I want to go with an alternate method as I describbed earlier in this thread and taken orginally from here Herb Glycerine Tinctures and Salves (condensed into attached schematic).
regarding the food press....I have been thinking that a juicer might be the best choice. here is a link to a broad array of different juicers? http://www.tendecades.com/Power_Juicers.html I am thinking that a medium power/quality would prolly work pretty well? have to research this a little more though.

Heating the mixure would have the added benefit of converting some of the other cannabinoids into TCH and activate other caboxylated acidic THC'S (Yea, I'm a chemistry geek. It's what my Masters degree is in...) Anyway, here's a little C&P'd info for you...
"In many instances, it is possible that cooking will increase the potency of marijuana. In freshly harvested hemp much, and sometimes all, of its THC is present in the form of tetrahydrocannabinolic acid. The percentage depends upon such factors as time of harvest and the climate in which it is grown. Unripe grass or grass grown in northern climates is likely to contain more THC acid than THC. The acid is not psychoactive, but upon drying much of it converts to active THC by a natural process known as decarboxylation. Most of the remaining acid will convert to THC during a period of two years. Unfortunately, much of this THC will oxidize in this much time. If the decarboxylation could take place in an oxygenfree environment, oxidation would not simultaneously occur. The application of heat can further decarboxylate unconverted THC acids in the dried product. During smoking, although much of the THC and its acid are destroyed by the flame, all that reaches the smoker's lungs has been converted to the active form of THC. If the material containing the THC acids is heated to about 100ƒC for 75 minutes in a nitrogen or carbon dioxide atmosphere (one free of oxygen), all of these acids will convert to THC. Traditional cannabis recipes often call for the sauteing of the ganja in oil or butter before using it. The oil protects the product from the oxygen while the heat activates the THC. This activation also occurs in the extraction of hash oil from weed and in any hash manufacturing procedures where heating or boiling is involved.
Let us attempt to summarize what we know of the effect of heat on cannabis: While too much heat or overcooking can destroy THC activity, normal cooking temperatures for normal cooking times can increase potency by activating the THC."
Heat your mixure that is in the mason jar in a crock pot full of water for a few days at 105 deg (USE A THERMOMER TO GET YOUR TEMP CORRECT, DON'T GUESS, YOU WILL RUIN YOUR MIX!!!!). If you can, replace the air in the jar with CO2 (the glycerine helps, like the butter in the article above, but an O2 defficient atmosphere is best), this will prevent the oxidation from taking place.
BTW, if your glycerine mixture is too thick to mix effectively, add about a dozen glass marbles to the jar, they will help move things around!
Glad to see you guys are getting along with your experiment, I'm gonna do it with my female cuttings after I have my harvest.
POST SOME PICS!!!
