    Nice bro! I ended up breaking my dab rig a couple weeks ago. Have a new one coming in tomorrow. Pretty stoked!

    Made some gummies last night. Pineapple ones, and they came out pretty tasty. Pic kinda sucks, but whatev. Used 4g total that was 3g of live rosin that I pressed fresh yesterday, with another gram of sweet, delicious bubble hash (73 & 90 micron) to round it out.

    The big ones are 10ml in size, and about 45mg each (+/- 5mg). The smaller ones are 4ml in size, and about 18mg each (+/- 2mg). Total batch was 4mg-5mg/ml.

     

    So counterintuitive considering the subject, but I too appreciate the maths and precision required to get the desired doses.  Your edible micron taste is more strict than many people’s smoke! haha

    This past weekend I set a new personal “high score” of consuming about 250mg. Got this 1000 mg S’mores bar. So tasty. I was quite a bit more high than say taking 150, but I don’t know if it was any more enjoyable. I get way more quiet when I’m super high.

    That said, I’ve found taking CBD toward the tail end of my edible high to be a game changer. The sleep is great, but honestly the body high gets really really strong. At the tail end of 250? Like a very strong opiate. Stronger than a few Vicodin. Now I know why it’s such an effective medicine for many people.

    Did you cut it first? I'm envisioning it taking up the majority of the J so that's why I'm asking. Pretty ingenious, tho. I normally just rip off a small piece of the paper's box and roll it into a "C" and drop it in the tip and twist. Your way sounds a hell of a lot more stable. 

    I actually had about half an inch of the pasta sticking out or more. Basically worked as a joint tip with about a half inch wrapped under paper the other half not under paper.

    Yes and no. Depends on ones tolerance and whatnot. Edibles hit different people in different ways. I shoot for 30mg per gummy. One and I'm cool, and I'll scarf down two about half an hour before heading to bed (along with a couple bowls.)

    For an average person, 175mg would have them higher than moon pussy and curled up in a ball in the corner as they slowly rock themselves through it.

     

    Haha. I’ve done that much before, or right around there. I still smoked 2 J’s and had a few dabs. I actually put together the final printed out paperwork to file by mail our taxes an hour or more after consumption. I was mostly coherent lol.

    I still haven’t ever had so much THC in edible form that I’ve been overwhelmed. I know people here in CO that take 500mg-1000mg at once. Insane. I may try 200 this weekend.

    Yes, I tend to use rosin/resin interchangeably. But for the record, we're talking about rosin. I looked at using alcohol, and had my eyes on a little vacuum chamber device that a) ran at room temp, so not near the risk of blowing up, and b) as it "boiled off" the alcohol under vacuum, you use a cold pack on top to condense the alcohol back real quick into an outer chamber.

    Would have been neat, but I think I can do more things with the press than I could have with that. Plus alcohol would run around $100/gal for the 200 proof good stuff. In the long run, I think pressing is going to work out better for me.

    I honestly can't say what top shelf, live rosin would go for here. Most is mid-grade, if you can find it, and $25-$35/g. Really good, clean stuff could be a lot more. (Makes sense, really, as it takes a LOT of good product to press into a clean rosin.

    Using the bubble hash as an intermediate stage should help that quite a bit. I'm semi-picky on my hash, and only keep anything between 45µ and 150µ. Anything above that is gunk, and anything below 45µ is (allegedly) just trich stems and nothing but cough inducing remnants.

    I dry trim, so once it's dried I trim, then bag up and freeze the goodies. Goodies being the trim and larf. Then at some point I do a bubble run. Previously I messed with decarbing hash, then adding however much into a little oil or butter for a recipe, as needed. Anything else went into temple balls. Now I'll be squishing the hash for an even more refined product, which should get me into good shape with the edibles. This past orange batch turned out really, really well. Next batch (probably 2 weeks out) is going to be pineapple coconut. Batch after that will be another shot at lemon pound cake. Those were fire with the old recipe, so I can only imagine how much the new recipe will improve them.

     

    Gotcha. So what you’re making is actually not live then, not that I’m trying to diminish the amazing education you’re dropping and hobbies were living vicariously through. I can’t say this enough. Thank you for sharing!

    What defines it being “live”, I believe, is that you flash freeze plants right after chop and then either run through your solvent extraction machine or your water hash (or press if you go straight to pressing) fresh frozen.

    Here, non-live (usually shatter or wax) is around $15 a g. Live Resin anywhere between $25-40. Live Rosin anywhere between $35-80. “Live” anything vs “non-live” is basically the difference between eating a fresh vs dried strawberry. The fresh/live maintains much more flavor.

    For the sake of full transparency:

    - 10-ton dab press: $490
    - hydraulic hand pump: $190
    - bubble hash washing machine: $110
    - new bubble bag set: $50
    - misc tools (silicone jars, sculpting tools, filters, pre-press molds, etc): $260

     

    So before I even pressed the first run, I was already into it for $1100.

     

    I could have skipped new bubble bags, skipped the machine and kept on with the drill paddle, waited for the 6-ton press/pump combo to be back in stock (whenever that may have been at the time), and been into it for just over $725. However that bubble machine is well worth it. Makes a bubble run so much easier, and certainly beats (no pun intended) sitting there with a drill paddle for 90 minutes.

    If I can keep hitting 80% return on squising hash, that's 8g of rosin for every 10g of hash. Let's play it safe and call it a 60% return which is on the low side and unless you suffer from a fornicating mental handicap, you'll hit that easy.

    Good rosin runs around $25/g here, even $30 or $35 for really, really good live resin. I'll go at $25/g. To hit $1100, that's 44g of rosin at $25/g. To get 44g of rosin, I'll need around 73g of good bubble hash at 60% return, 55g hitting 80% return.

    Two grows worth of good trim and larf should hit that, but with the new bubble machine it may be within a run. That's my real unknown right now. If the first bubble run with the machine was any indication, it's very possible that a single run will do it.

    That being the case, in theory I would be "even" at that point as I didn't have to buy rosin/wax/shatter for edibles.

     

    That's all on paper though. Essentially it's spending money to save it elsewhere and in the long run come out ahead of the game. No different than growing, really. Working with a couple close friends (whom are unaware I'm currently growing) to have them get their cards and list me as their caregiver. If I can pick up a couple of them, I'll be set to jet, and sustainable in the fun.

     

    So you’re using Rosin and Resin somewhat interchangeably, but I thought what you’re making is Rosin, or solventless extract. In CO solventless is much more expensive than BHO, or resin. I only buy live Resin in bulk usually at a savings (~$20/G) and will dabble some in Rosin. That said, Rosin, here in CO, is anywhere between $35 - $80. I mean for people with an insane hookup here in town I’ve heard 850-900 an o of solventless.

    Also are you paddling fresh plant when making Water Hash?

    Changed up my gummy recipe a good bit. Did a run a week ago (orange) and they came out really good. Moving away from infusing flower/trim directly into oil, and instead using rosin helped a good bit. Going to up the dose a tick on the next one, and should easily be where I want them.

    Should have a lot of good trim from this last run that went into drying last week. Bubble hash and then squish that. Last bit of bubble I ran two weeks ago turned out just over 14g from the sweet spot. The little washing machine I picked up is the way to go.

    Drool. I had to pay a little under $300 for my just under half o of live resin last week. Livin the dream!

    That explains the sale on oils when I went in. Thanks for this background. I’m an old. Oils and concentrates take me to the moon and plant my head in it...I stick with flower and cartridges...I love the moon...just not with my head stuck in it. Maybe that stuff is lighter...I’m actually thinking about dabs...so when I hear oil or concentrates I think that...are oils what you find in the cartridges or is it a higher concentrated form of the THC?

    What you are smoking is basically "dab" in a cartridge. Usually, a half gram in a cartridge costs about the same as a whole gram of concentrate. There are a wide array of vaporization devices these days that will allow you to drop a little bit of your concentrate in and then press a button. It's a lot easier and less crack head feeling than you may think. I say all of that and I own a vaporizer (Puffco Peak) and still want to get a "dab rig" for when I really want to blast off.

    I’m certain the Raw Gardens I got are driven from a dispensary in Cali and I’m sure Tailgate can confirm this specific brand is pretty elaborately packaged. I’m really paranoid about fakes as I know they’re abundant so I only trust a couple connections. They used to get a brand called Lion’s Breath which my circle of friends think is the best.

    Good tip about turning the contact counterclockwise. I’ve fixed a couple of other brands by pulling it out ever so slightly. I’ll try that next time.

    An alternative, albeit not the cheapest, is to buy 710 Labs carts. They’re proprietary and I just don’t see anyone faking their technology. Their pods are much less likely to malfunction. Their motto is “Quality Over Everything” and they live it. 710 labs is widely considered the best concentrate producer in CO, leading technological advancements in the solventless hash game, and seemingly they’ve been taking over Cali as well. They are so incredibly popular that they had a private list for the past couple years in CO and if you weren’t on the list you couldn’t buy. List has recently been killed. Their flower is considered the gold standard here. I have waited 2 and a half hours recently for the opportunity to buy a half oz of their bud of 1 strain but I was the first not to cop in line. They only had 41 half O’s at that drop. Some people get there 8-10 hours before open. I’m not kidding. And it’s not hyped like Cookies brand.

    I say all of that to say most of the time their cartridges are the last thing to go and you should be able to find them easily, because they are not as cost effective or most people want to drop their hash in a rig or a vaporizer.

    Last 710 Labs plug: they have one of the coolest IGs there is for weed nerds. Check out 710labsedu for everything flower and water hash related.

    My problem with concentrates is they make me choke like a first timer. Yeah, you get high as shit but can't breath and think you're going to die for 10 minutes until you're barely high anymore. Doesn't matter the strain, texture, color or any of that to me. Plus I haven't found an efficient way of smoking them without getting shit everywhere. 

    Understandable. It took me a little while, but eventually you get the hang of it as with most everything. My lady much prefers the Puffco Peak over anything. With the Peak it takes a handful of easy non coughing drags on it and then you get pretty damn high. To her the opposite is true. Little to no coughing, only 2-5 drags or so on the Peak, and you’re as high as if you paired on a fat blunt and coughed on that thing.

    I’ve thought about it, but dabs aren’t my thing usually. I’m in it for the solvent-less extraction with edibles being the end goal. 
     

    Thought about a setup to make RSO, but even with the press price upfront being more, in the long run it will be a lot less. Plus, you know, no risk of blowing something up. 

    To each his own, I suppose. I can see why “dabbing” has a “super pothead” connotation and is a detractor, but IMHO Rosin in a Puffco Peak or Focus Carta is about as clean and healthy as you can get smoking a weed product.

    Cotton mouth can be mitigated if you’re hydrated enough. I drink 2-3 liters of water a day and typically don’t get cotton mouth. Even with strains having it as a known side effect.

     

    Made another batch of gummies last weekend; key lime pie. Not bad, not bad at all. Not quite to the lemon pound cake level, but easily a 9/10 if the lemon was 11/10.

    Cherry run between those 2 was maybe a 7/10 for flavor. Ok, but not great. 

    I think with the more mild flavor profiles you gotta go over the top. Makin bubble hash in the next couple of days, then once dried I’ll squish it for rosin. From there I’ll make oil,

    oil to edibles, etc.

    Is there anything that doesn’t cause uncontrollable munchies? I don’t need to be eating at night.

    Yes, actually there are strains that aren’t good at making us hungry. Those strains have THC-v cannabinoid present that works as an appetite suppressant.

    Strains I’m aware of and can confirm that I’m not as hungry as other strains include LSD (the weed strain, not the hallucinogen), Jack the Ripper and Durban Poison.

    Got my birthday SnaxLand yesterday from the same dispensary that I’ve been going to for a month or so now. They have raised prices a bit for Snax, but they allow for online ordering which is so clutch. They apparently ended up reaching an agreement with Snax to take the more highly sought after strains from being sold at the hype beast, Wolf Pac. For the adult cannaseur who doesn’t want to stand in line for an hour with college kids for the best of the best, it is a small victory. Now that I’ve got a strong variety and quantity built up, I probably need to take a break on the procurement of more or my woman is gonna find other things I should be buying her with that money.

     

     

    Kush Mints - Animal Mints x Bubba Kush

    One of the best flowers I’ve smoked ever. It’s smooth, tastes amazing with a mint after taste. You get so baked, but the come down is not heavy at all. Something an every day smoker like me can smoke all day and keep getting blasted.

    Waiting Game - Fruity Pebbles OG x MAC 1

    This tastes so much like its parent, Fruity Pebbles. It is quite a bit more euphoric and lighter on the body than the MAC. A great sociable, happy, euphoric high.

    Weird. I wonder if on occasion you get some that was harvested too soon? If you chop it too early when the trichomes are not ripe yet (still clear or mostly clear) then that’s one of the bad things that results. (Along with loss of potency, weight, etc.)

     

    Back to hash for a second, amounts I get from trim can vary. Depends on the plant and how loaded the sugar leaves are with trichs. Some strains just don’t put out much on the sugar leaves, some frost the shit out of them. More is better, and I use a couple products that help trichome production explode. Haven’t had a plant yet that didn’t just frost the shit out of the sugar leaves since I've started using it.  I need to do the math and see what the long term cost would be, and whether it's going to make sense to keep using it. When you’re using 10ml/gal/week, and have up to 75gal to dose, that adds up quick at 750ml/week. A 10-liter jug runs about $150, and lasts about 4 months give or take (some weeks are less, depends on veg at 5ml/gal or flower at 10ml/gal.)

    Anyway, point of that is that sometimes it can be a little more or less than an oz of hash, but it’s always good. And from trim, shiiiit. That’s like free. lulz

     

     

    I have the second (of two total) Blue Dream from recent runs in it’s 5th week of curing. Finally had some the other night and holy fuckballs. About 70% of the flowers are semi-fluffy (typical sativa) but oh shit they will fuck you up. I was high as eagle pussy last night and the night before. Guess I’d better knock back a hair on the intake with that one. By far the strongest hitter in the stash right now. Even over the granddaddy purple, and durban. And even over some white widow I have that tested out at 25% when the hydro shop had a moblie lab visit for a day a few months ago before all the shit locked down. 

    Haha damn. Yeah some Blue Dream definitely hits different. I get super high from Blue Dream at High Level Health, presumably because they’re using DJ Short’s Blueberry genetics and they’re a pretty solid grow, albeit not the sexiest latest cookies genetics.

    As for SLH and anxiety, I think it’s more that I’m just prone to it depending upon terpene profile. For example, no amount of Clementine will cause me anxiety because of the heavy presence of Pinene. Strains disproportionally heavy in Limonene or Terpinolene I’ve found can cause me anxiety, kinda like too much coffee. Everyone is different though.

    Yea you have me at “free” Rosin from trim.

    What you’re talking about adding during veg and flower stages, is what you’re using considered a PGR? I’ve only recently become aware of them and only see pictures of basically destroyed, non crystallized, way too dense bud as evidence of PGRs. There have been unsubstantiated whispers that SnaxLand here in CO uses them, but I don’t know that I would be able to tell the difference because his bud has such insane bag appeal.

    You are definitely saving money in the long run.

Many craft Rosin producers though will sell at insane prices.

Expensive as fuck proposition for me.

    Apparently even then the $300 and $400 figures I gave are too low. Seeing 5g go for $365 + tax and the 7g for $491 + tax at one dispo nearby. $600 almost OTD for 7g of rosin. INSANE. Lazercat is the most extreme I have seen so far in terms of concentrate pricing. Not sure if they’re worth the hype but it’s real expensive to try.

    First trial of the new press. 7g flower in, 1.5g rosin out. Pretty much the average for flower, which is 20%.

    I guess hash is more like 80% (makes sense if you think about it), so for that big blob up above, it took somewhere around 20oz of hash. For me, just from trim, I get about an oz of bubble hash from one plant. Got damn that’s a lot of shit.
