Hash talk

A gram or two of dry sift from the Going2fast Scarlet Grapes I trimmed up.
I’ll let that cure for 30 days or so along with the flower, and use it as bowl toppers

Safety glasses are a must. I have forgotten how many times I could have permanently lost an eye that was prevented because I was wearing them, It was more than six times.

I hope your treading water for 8 hours was voluntary.

🤣🤣🤣I’m like a fish but I’m smart enough to know i don’t know enough to go it alone. One day i hope. Another reason i wish i discovered this long before it went legal here, i would have been amazing in my 20’s… And possibly made a nice retirement for myself🤭

Then you are obviously comfortable in the water, and most likely are a good swimmer. You are ready to dive into the learning pool.

This is why my wanting and my common sense are keeping me going slow and realizing my limitations due to zero mentoring opportunities. You guys impress me daily. Beyond grateful to the universe for sending me here when i needed guidance regarding my three plants growing at different speeds. Funny how far I’ve come, feels lifetime’s ago

I can tread water for 8 hrs.

Hi, Ck...
Your post is timely. I fully agree with SAFETY FIRST and hope the other forum members not so aware get the point. Anything to do with processing cannabis into concentrates is/can be dangerous.
There is much more than explosion risk from unvented hydrocarbon vapor build up.
Are you wearing safety glasses when running your set up? No?
Bad. Seriously bad. Keeping other adults/kids in your household safe? Just because one watches a youtube video does not mean they are qualified to try doing it. I won't even process stuff when high. Too dangerous.

Yep. I did an ounce. Did it right brutal with a little coffee grinder action. Not espresso grind. More like drip.
2 grams came from a 220 micron. Combining that with the earlier sift and sugar leaf and trim gatherings, there's 4 grams in the picture.
Not sure what the shine was. I thought it was water because the press was submerged in warm water. But it was super sticky and made my finger smell like dope. It has since gone away.
Shavings are from the press are being smoked. Mr. Stickypuck is folded up in parchment paper, in a medicine bottle, in a seldom visited cabinet.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I like the bags , although I’ve always used jars. Ive used bags mostly with already cured product. I’m still experimenting using them exclusively. Apparently, they don’t need to be burped. Which is nice if true.

I’ve stopped using the humidity packs. I used both Boveda and Boost. I think they work but I became concerned they may be changing something over the long term. Plus I’m happy to not buy more stuff.
I’m lucky where I live it’s usually at least 50-60% humidity so not bad naturally for storage. I do watch and spritz water on a jar lid if dry, long term too wet hasn’t been a problem for me.

[DabberDog]

We compromised. No bloody way could I not gather a few trichomes.
2 ounces, one ounce at a time, 15 seconds of light, stem agitation in a 220 bag. Best I can figure is .75 grams. That's killing me. Best dried bud I've been able to get and it would give me some freaking awesome dry sift. I still have 2 ounces ready I can't get the hay out of that will for sure get washed.
Do you remember what got me to making my first batch of RSO? A dry sift run was a large bust because the air was so humid the trichomes were sticking to the bag and the bucket return was horrible. I gathered what I could from the bucket and dumped a quart of Kosher into the bag and evaporated what came out. I think it's better than the BHO I was making. Both can taste and smell like burned, fried chicken butthole crumbs, but the RSO head and body are beyond BHO, without the residual butane bonus!
I even have enough other dope sitting around I could put this away and let it cure. Lightly packed in a little jar, somewhere. Maybe two jars? Maybe use a warm pollen press?
I'm rationalizing dedicating more work to at least one of those first two ounces. My mind is probably already made up. We'll see what happens after Dabber does whatever she's so anxious at the door about.

Feel me?

[DabberDog]

The hash dreams said dump it in my sift bucket for storage until the ethanol gets here. If I accidentally agitate the bucket and trichomes fall off, it would be an accident. Accident hash.
Maybe I need another nap?

[Ckbrew]

I say no sift. It will add another variable to your experiment.

[DabberDog]

And that's a good reason not to jerry rig Ckbrew. If you're not a good tinkerer, there's no shame in buying a setup, whatever the case may be. Do lots of research. Know the dangers, not just the benefits. I did some questionable stuff with the blasting. Probably shouldn't have done any of it, but I'm glad I did and I'm glad I don't.
Gots me some real fine crispy nugs getting crispier in Santa Ana conditions just begging to be dry sifted. Do I sift a little before RSO? Do I let it go straight RSO? Probably take a nap, then decide. What will the hash dreams say?
Geez... sounds like I've had a few!
