Rosin presses: How many of you guys make your own concentrates?

[ERB]

After 40 plus year of cannabis use my tolerance for THC is a little on the high side.
To compensate for this I have started to DAB concentrates but with all these chemical extraction methods I am very wary about what I DAB.
After much research the only thing that makes sense is ROSIN.
Heat and pressure! that's it, no chemicals real pure extract.

We make rosin with our neighbor. We dry sift kief, make a puck, and take turns standing on the Rosinator between pucks. My wife loves dabs, but I'm more of a hash kind of guy.
We started buying bho from Legal spots here but none of it was very clean. I would put it on parchment and throw it in the oven on 200° for at least 30 minutes and make it amazing. Now we don't buy it.

I buy a lot of kief, or CO² oil cartridges, or we have a "rosin party" with the E-nail.

I know what you are saying about tolerance. I have been smoking for over 40 years, lots of it now days. I never could enjoy concentrates. I've made ice hash, shatter and now oil from the shatter I made. After a day or two my tolerance builds up faster with concentrates then with regular weed. I have found it works best for me to keep different types of strains on hand so I don't smoke the same stuff all the time.

I always buy Oz's. I still prefer flower but I have strain tolerance goes up really fast with indica (my favorite), so I have to buy like a 50/50 hybrid and the purest indica I can get.

I found my tolerance gets way too high with concentrates all of the time. Now when I do a dab I know that I did it. Edibles are kind of my special. Everyone loves my butter cookies.

I love butter cookies, my specialty is butterscotch blondies that I make from my own extracts.

Hell yeah.

My neighbor tends to end up with not really great trimmings. He dry sifts it and then gives me the processed green. I then reprocess into potent cannabutter. Which of course makes great cookies. We don't waste anything.

When I trim for my wife's uncle I get like 2oz bud and 2-4 oz lowers, that stuff makes the best glycerin tinctures. He always grows something from Exotic Genetics.

I love well made cannabutter treats. I used to make cannabutter but now I am mostly into fresh press rosin that I use for DABs and cooking.

 

[Ganjagrowergu]

I've never used rosin for the edibles. I imagine that the flavor is incredible.

 

[ERB]

Its strait from the plant , its carboxylated and ready for ingestion

Plus you can take the used rosin pucks, grind them up and use them in capsules for edibles.

 

[Ganjagrowergu]

I have used the pucks in both edibles and sadly I have smoked them when there is not enough to cook with. I used to Vape flower and cook with my leftovers, put one lady out for 14 hours with my spaghetti. Waste not want not....

 

[Ganjagrowergu]

I've blown butane oil (small quantities) in the back yard of our apartment complex and decarbed/purged it in my oven. Don't do that very often if ever, but when done safely it makes for a great time.

 

[ERB]

Never smoked a puck I feel for you ever having to do so.

 

[ERB]

On a personal note wow long have you been growing?

I've smoked a lot of stuff that my budget forced me into..... That is why I fired my lights back up and filled the tent. No one should have to smoke the things that my wife and I have endured.......

 

[ERB]

I wish flower abundance for you both

 

[Ganjagrowergu]

On a personal note wow long have you been growing?

I did some outdoor grows back years ago when I lived in the Midwest, before I was married. I started growing indoor in 2014, did 5 grows. I took a year off, then just started popping beans in April, until my tent was full

I tried brownies with my cannabutter. The edges always got hard so I gave up on them. Funny thing is that the chocolate cake has the same 1/2 cup of oil as the brownies. The perfect amount for my bed time edible. So now I do chocolate cake with frosting of course. All my butter is made from pure indica or indica dominate trim. Now I have a piece of cake and milk before bed and sleep better then I have for years. Chocolate cake that gets you high is just asking for abuse though.


Here is a helpful hint for cannabutter or oil. I made some muffins that only take 1/3 of a cup of oil. This would have been fine with a stronger oil. I made this oil expecting to use a 1/2 cup. I had a bunch of kief at the time and added a tsp of it to the oil and mixed it in before pouring it into the mix. Work fine. A little more flavor from the kief but I still enjoyed it.

I really only make butter. I haven't had much luck with brownies either. I usually just do cookies, or box Mac & cheese (Mac is great with 1 gram of Kief per box). I do the butter in boiling water stove top method. Lol. I bet rosin makes the butter best.
