Very interesting. Im going to try my method with the purple bubble bag ( don't know micron, but its the finer screen) and then try the static carding method.
On a different note, a buddy of mine has the hook on tanks of gas. Like nitrous, co2, butane, propane, etc. I want to experiment with using nitrous oxide with a tamisium extractor ( closed system oil extractors :
http://www.tamisiumextractors.com ) and see what kind of product comes out. We're going to buy a 60 lb. nitrous tank and collaborate with all of our collective trim... probably close to 5-7 lbs of trim.
Im sure we're going to crush it. Last time with butane we yielded over 12 oz.s of crumbly, tan colored, wax. I will post some pics when we take on this venture! Any of you "hash-onistas" ever make oil with nO2?
as far as the capitate stalks having any sort of cannabinoids, it makes me think of my high school years. We would smoke mexican brick weed all day. That crap never had ANY trichomes on it, and still got us higher than some of todays, lower end buds ever have... Now i know, i know, its all about the trichs, and I'm sure SOME were in there, but you sure as hell couldn't see them. Ive seen buddies who have strains that are degrading because they have cloned, clones for years. Their buds look good and have mad trichs on them, but don't get you very high at all because the genetics are weakening.
Granted that was in Texas, and 15-20 years ago you were hard pressed to find really good indoor down south. Maybe 1 out of every 20 bags we happened to score some good indoor. Man, am I happy I live in Oregon now. Thanks to growers like us, we have put the evolution of pot breeding into fast forward, creating stronger, danker strains.
anyway i got way off topic.
