So it seems like while the big one has been larger it's not as dense as the small one, I think may have to do with some of my later flower trimming.

It happens.

To slow down drying maybe get a small closet, or one of those zip up clothes closets? The closer the buds are, the smaller space they have the slower it will dry.

I've dried in a box before, a shoe box. Wax paper and stack em.

I've seen people do it with metal racks and a small plastic cab or Rubbermaid tote.

Check out the DIY section for kief rollers and dry boxes.

i have about a half a 5gal bucket of trimmings. Might be a little bit until I get my press, was thinking of maybe trying to make some edibles.

I think there's a guy on here that used a pizza stone and decarb'ed at 240° F for 60 minutes.

Then use a boiler to melt the butter and let it simmer with the trim.

A buddy made some a while ago, it had a very relaxing effect. Great for muscles aches and injuries, it might even replace muscle relaxers.

Ummmmm the rosin press is gonna be happening sooner then I thought I think.... the more expensive part, the aluminum heating plates I found on a site for 18.99 that should be about 300$!? All their rosin presses seem to be miss-priced. Check out this pneumatic rosin press for under 30$? Huh lol

Edit: this would usually be well over a thousand dollars?lol

That's just the stainless steel cover, from the description.

I wish companies would use actual measurements and photography. That's probably just a stock photo.

Yea I'm reallynot sure. That's not what I got, I got these.

Edit: everywhere else they are like 300$ though...lol. And then you mount them to the hydraulic press of your choice from your local hardware store. They bolt right onto the press cylinder.

Looks like that it's own skill set. Decarbing before cooking and then slow simmer.
You lose a lot when decarbing in the oven tho. I make cocobudder in a crockpot hooked up to a variac so I can crank up the voltage and get the coconut oil hot enough to decarb right in the oil so any volitiles like terpenes get saved.

Once cooled down to below 212F I add about 5% liquid sunflower lecithin then refrigerate the oil, thaw and cool again so the lecithin binds the cannabinoids and helps with absorption when you eat it. Keeps much longer than budder too without refrigeration. Much healthier than butter too which is mostly garbage tho I do love it on my toast. :)

Rosin presses are the rage these days and probably the best way to get quality concentrates in the safest manner possible. Once we get pot re-legalized here in Canada using flammable solvents to make make oils will carry a maximum 14 years in prison. Prohibition 2.0 on the way but most people have no idea what we are losing to get stoner pot for the masses. Harsh drug-impaired driving laws that will make it near impossible for me to drive legally as I'll never be below the ridiculous low limits they are setting. They take your car and license until you are done with the courts! What kind of BS is that! A cop gets to just say you're impaired and there goes your car without any kind of real proof.

IMHO rosin is for stoners and not serious med users like myself. Still, rosin can be used in all sorts of recipes but is mostly dabbed for the buzz. I was a stoner for 40 years before I got into it for meds so I'm not judging. :)

Nice crop by the way!

:peace:
