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.

I can tread water for 8 hrs.

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

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

🤣🤣🤣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🤭

 

[Ckbrew]

I hope your treading water for 8 hours was voluntary.

 

[Ckbrew]

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.

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

I like mine straight. If loose, just a sprinkle in an empty bowl. Bring the flame down close enough to bubble the kief but not actually touch. It's vaping kief. The taste is amazing. After doing that a few times, when it's done boiling and wants to cherry-up, it's done. I don't know why people smoke down to gray on everything. Combustion is bad. Bought a set of these for just such occasions.
And dabbing. No guessing on how much I'm doing. A level drop is my usual dab. When people come over, I break out the rest to see who's adventurous.

 

[Ckbrew]

How many drops in a tad?

 

[DabberDog]

You want me to do math? With fractions? On dope?
A drop is 1/64 teaspoon. A tad is 1/4 teaspoon. If you carry the one, google says 16.
I don't think anyone has done the tad. That's my kief spoon.

I like your pics. Good job. Looks like the first sift dry ice hash I make. I, too, like to use it as a bowl topper.

 

[Smallgrow]

Thx!
If I had a bit more it would heat press it and roll it into a temple ball

 

[AMP]

lol yes ckbrew it was. I was very competitive growing up… well more like , i enjoyed testing myself. I had to stop at 8 hrs cuz the pool closed at the complex. It’s all about steady breathing and the technique. Some people do the bicycle, some the frog, i combined them and it was virtually effortless .I could also hold my breath for 5 mins , might have been longer but the life guard freaked out lol. Cant do that now though.

 

[Gator]

Mmmmm, fresh frozen maybe 🤔

 

[DabberDog]

First, how?
Then, then what?

 

[Gator]

I'm thinking about cutting the plant down and freezing the whole thing

 

[Gator]

I have an upright freezer in the basement, freeze until Wednesday and make some hash

 

[DabberDog]

I ask because the speed and temperature you freeze fresh plants has a big effect on final product. If you let fresh frozen in a standard freezer thaw, you get a mess of soggy leaves. If you go that route, keep it frozen when you bag it.
Or, you know exactly what you're doing, and I should sit back and let you do your thing.

 

[Smallgrow]

You’re not wrong Dabber for those who may not know, even if Gator does.
Freeze them fresh then straight into the ice water without letting them thaw before the wash

Wish I had enough freezer for that. Next year I hope to successfully schedule my fall grow to end near Christmas so I can do some fresh frozen over the holiday break.
