Hash and Oil Picture Thread

The lack of heat probably gave it that look. Shoulda turned it up a little and it woulda melted it back down probably. Kinda like if youve ever seen Xtracted or anyone use a close loop with propane, they basically get it to muffin because its a cold vac. then just pop it rightr out. If you woulda applied some low low heat it probably woulda broken it up. But to each his own. Do you really get reaction for 48 hours of just vac'n no heat??

I do use a little of heat for the first couple of hours. And then once a day I will give it just a tad bit of heat after I flip the slab. The only reason I purge so long, is because the longer I purge the more stable the product becomes. Basically from sap to shatter.

Gotcha. Lil different but whatever works for ya. I just feel like it would seize up after a while and the vac would just be doing nothing until you heated it again. But the resins i work with might just be more stable than what youre usin which has nothing to really do with quality of said resin. Its more genetic.

I know the strain i grow has super stable resin.I can trim all day and have next to nothing on my hands. Good amount of scissor hash but my hands will be basically clean. As oil it locks up at 4 hours on 95F into glassy shatter so i always have to turn up the temps.

I feel ya though especially if youre usin a hot plate just lettin it run all day can easily make shatter into wax with a quick temp change haha. I have a nuwave2 and i set it and forget it. Its the closest thing to a vac oven i could compile for the money. I can get it to 95F constant for days and days. Increase by 10 degrees at a time if needed. I highly recommend one to ya. Might even be sellin mine when i get an oven.

I guess another reason I leave it in the camber, is because it one of the safest spots in any of my houses. I have a dog a every house. And keeping it in the camber avoids dog hair and plant material from accidentally falling on it. But why do you not get your fingers sticky when trimming? I have never ever trimmed and had clean anything? Huh thats crazy, maybe its because I trim wet, idk?

I feel it i have cats. Im honestly surprised i dont get more cat hairs showin up in my oil.
I leave mine in the chamber for the full 2-4 days besides to flip and when i need to bump the temp up i drop the vac, turn the temp up, make sure it doesnt go too high or too low, then re-vac.

i trim wet too!!! Its just stable resin! llucky genetics.My scissors get a lil hash on em but thats probably because im rupturing heads with them. The resins very sand liike and makes my hands softer after a day of trimming. Exfoliation!!! hahaha its crazy the last 2 strains ive grown have been extremely stable sandy resin the day its picked.
 
Finally got this bitch open! Some bubble from wifiOG/chocohashberry and some mite shit and gutts. LOL.. all frozen. Taste bomb asf though. I believe I put the 45 and 73 in here. Got the 90 and 25 in another. Those are the dark look like dark coffee crystal consistency.

Not much yield but it's made by me so it tatse and feels bomb. Got no.where else to share so I post it here.

Peace

Love seeing everyone sharing their work in this thread!

We finally have lots of fresh dank flowers from our recent id and od to qwork with.
IMG_0126.jpg

On top of that my honey upgraded my cheap electric griddle for the digi nuwave2!!!
No more babying the rice bath hot plate with the digitemp readout!
I've been through this thread from the beg any Nuwaver2s out there (budbro18) with some temp tips/ consistency tips?
I usually keep a temp of 110 or lower for shatter but never go past 48hrs due to slave to the hotplate, it's gonna be a whole new world! Otherwise it's 125 til she budders/flakes!

This next oil run is a request from my sweetheart and #1 patient for some dabalicious head knocks.
It will consist of 100g run of flowers 60/40 grand daddy kong/ blackberry kush IMG_0053.JPG IMG_0108.JPG IMG_0110.JPG


Up coming we will have strain specific runs of Sharks breath, pootie tang, hanis, Cognac Kush, Double Danko, Casey Jones, Juicy Fruit!

Like everyone is saying this is my fav part of year! It's amazing how many good growers lack the ability to produce top notch concentrates just as many concentrate artists lack the ability to pro grow/med grow.

In CO we are lucky enough to be networking with the best of both worlds!

Stinky thick wafting clouds of blessngs to all!
 
What type of chamber do you have? SS? Al? Glass? Thatll change a few things. Size as well.

Like i said above somewhere i have a 3 gallon stainless steel chamber from best value vacs. So if i throw it straight on the nuwave and set it to 100 it really wont go over 101 maybe 102 but its pretty damn on point. But to get below that i have a roughly 5 gallon stainless steel cooking pot. Its just barely bigger than the 3 gal, about 1/2-3/4 of an inch gap all around.

Its nice because it not only lowers my in chamber temp to between 90-95 but it reduces temp flux based on my house changing temps. The vac chamber i have is very thin, sturdy, but thin. Its made to be a vac chamber not a cooking pot. The stainless cooking pot i have is thick as hell with an even thicker base since its a large stewing pot. The base is also the entire size of the nuwave surface where as the 3gal chamber is about 3/4. Ill take a picture of it i still have the sticker on the front that says what kind it is. Might even be visible if you pause one of my videos i posted back a few pages.

Lastly, if you really wanna go low temps into the 80-85s to be really delicate to nug runs at the beginning you could fill the bottom up with some sand. Reptile sand is nice or any slightly finer sand. My friend has a bunch of reptiles so he bought a fat bag forever ago so i got it for free. Home depot probably has some finer sand as well but possibly only in larger quantities. Fill up about an inch on the bottom, then put the chamber in, then fill around the sides. This is very messy and we used an air compressor to blow everything off to make sure no sand would be stuck anywhere that it could get into our oil. Either way this will help you get down into the just barely usable temp ranges for most low CBD strains. High CBD strains can be purged down here all day because of the sappy nature of CBD. I RARELY do this, only for top shelf nug runs. I usually just stick to the pot with my vac inside that. Ill look for some pictures.

Hope this helped/
 
For my desiccant chamber I'm using a circa 77 s&r avocado 16qt pressure cooker skeleton that I picked up at the thrift for $10. The al body is 1/4" thick. I drilled it out and attached all my vac line/ fittings/ control manifold on the side. I picked up a JB 2 stage 4cfm from a buddy who upgraded, and bought a 15"x15"x1" piece of lexan to close the seal.

Now with the nw2 I hope to set my chamber and forget it, more or less.

Also Sirdabs dropped a tasty bite of knowledge awhile back of using rice vs sand. Having used both I consider rice much more friendly when it comes to the rogue piece fowling the batch.

Thanks for the temp info budbro! your tasty pics is what helped motivate my gal to grab us a nw2...

hoping some of the blackberry essence translates to the shatt. the gdk funk (more like breathing out straight gasoline) is a def knock upside the head while sending little soothing electrical pulses down the spinal, good heavy shit no doubt even up against the og's, chems we run.

Youre gonna need some kind of stainless steel plate for the nuwave to work. Has to be magnetic to be heated. They have stainless steel induction cook top things on ebay and amazon for cheap.

howd you get a way with tha

t and a paaper plate??????!!!

nice chamber garlic train. !

I take the bud, grind it (so I can pack er up in my bong) but before I do pack it, I put the plate at a slight angle and just tap lightly, all the plant matter (for the most part) slides down the plate while the good good stays up top/middle lol. Very simple and works well.
 
i cant quite follow that.
you pack the bong (open column) with ground weed

you have a plate collecting at a slight angle.

now how do things come out of bong ?
 
Lol.
tried blasting kief got an ice cube.
making iso out of it now.
bummer it was pouring out tons of color. Then I backed the can off for a few and by then it was in a block.

lol no no no I just have a plate that I grinded my flowers on, for when I use the bong. The bong isn't actually used at all to make the kif, just the plate. Grind the flowers, dump on plate, put at a slight angle and tap tap.
