Jumping in, without even experimenting with solventless hydraulic/heat presses!

Why do they call it Grim Bastard, hybrid? I have some terp samples here for use when thinning wax, I think one is legit terps but I'll buy something dispo to mix this with. Online, Jane?, said to add it to water, make a drink. Glad I didn't. I need to make a bunch of gum drops, been out of them, too expensive for nightly sleep at dispo prices. I have some chocolate covered hand crafted caramels, just broke one open and squirted a medium size amount from a dabber cartridge of dispo FHSO into the middle. Hoping better sleep=energy for housework tmrw. I feel like a slug.
 
Could be GB is the strain they got it from. It doesn't matter. I looked at your stuff. 98.9% pure. Maybe they couldn't get out the 1.01% GB out of it? A body who buy's CBD oil has no idea what plant the CBD was derived from.
 
I know. They do have CBD strain identification for some products now. The powder can sit here until I find the best terp sauce. I plan to buy some 1:1 rso and some indica rso to make gummies and balm ... what are sex balm pucks?
 
EEEWWWwww, NASTY!!! Does the smell go away, after you put the boards in the water?!?!?! How is it collected and fashioned into "pucks"? ;)
 
The smell goes away but you never want to wax your nose unless you are hanging-ten. If you wax your nose, it can get in your beard. And we all know how hard it is to get that shit out of your beard! In the end, it's all about friction so you don't slide off. That can be a helluva thing to happen when you're in the tube.
HA!... snarfle...
 
Gingerbeard - I made the assumption, perhaps erroneously, this "wax" is of human origin? Bovine? Porcine? Naturally, any of the preceding would be revolting...but you'd get a heck of a lot more "product" from larger species - Like the SPERM Whale.
 
Read into it BR2K . I pulled your gutter comment down into the sewer. Places I've been. People I've talked with. Larry Flynt was a choir boy on his first day.
But no. Sex wax is not coitus remuneratus.
 
After returning from another DOS, I have reached my ultimate verdict on my investment - IT'S WORTH IT!!! I am foregoing the fabric bags, as I prefer small batches and I don't lose as much product. The "flakes" left over still go into my everclear jar though.

Top reasons:

It seems a lot healthier on my lungs
The taste is AMAZING!
The fun of pressing your own delicacy is exquisite - I would recommend getting the original model, as I fear diminishing marginal returns on your investment YMMV. Thanks to Gingerbeard for his insights!
 
Update: One unintended benefit of pressing my own rosin is learning a lot more about commercial products. When I commit the DOS, I usually select the top shelf Sativa and whatever the budtender recommends for indica. I sent the following nastigram to my dispensary -

"I press my purchases into rosin. I have been comparing the different companies and their strains. My most recent 1/2 Oz. of "Fleur" "La La Land" (Vendor: Martini Incentives/batch #2022NVC0379-2904) was disappointing for two reasons.

1. The jars seemed light of product. A different brand looked almost twice as full in comparison.

2. The rosin the flower produced seems more like sticky stool sludge, than rosin (sorry for the visual analogy). I could imagine a small-time grower might suspect the product had been heavily sifted but who knows."

- (back to this post) My goal(s) are thrice. a. Provide actual consumer feedback (convey my displeasure) b. Produce a viable way to productively vent my frustration. I realize it will probably amount to naught but it felt GOOD! c. A subtle good-will gesture, separating myself from the pack with my benevolence. even though it's a complaint, I'd rather have someone tell me exactly why and which transaction, Again I know it's a shot in the dark...
 
"I could imagine a small-time grower might suspect the product had been heavily sifted..."

One more reason homemade is best...
 
quirk I still have my pucks from the RSO I made. I'll see if they have anything left but I kind of doubt it. This batch is STRONG!
 
Uh oh - I'm LOW ON RSO!! It's the most and best I've ever made. My Nugsmasher is hungry but I still have a ways to go. I'll likely just start "stealing" low buds, when I'm desperate enough. I want to stand strong against another DOS. I am narrowing down MY focus on how I want to customize my grows. Although I only use liquid nutrients, I am paying close attention to how Nebula's Coco-coir schedule matches with the actual development of the flower. Nebula's Week 9 seems to coincide with what I would have thought to be the best use of the extra Flora Bloom. I'm already on the downside/maturing of the flowering process. So far my conclusion is leaning towards maybe accelerating the schedule a bit. I usually allow my plants to veg for around 60 days before switching to 12/12. This means I have to keep up with Week 3 nutrients until I'm ready to switch. I believe I've been a week behind on my nutrient schedule based upon how I calculate the pistil curl and bud growth are going. We'll see. I almost killed my Zombie Death Fuck plant, apparently misjudged my last watering. She's back to "Praying" an hour later! She better be praying, her buds AWAIT THE JAWS OF DEATH!!!!

Note: For the photos, I turned down my grow light and made sure the flash was on. For "sparkly" pics, I would turn the grow light off, make sure I didn't have too much backlight and make sure the flash was on...
