I think you are right about the heating and cooling. I have had it before when I was pressing with a hot bottle to make temple balls. It melted the first time, but it didn't look right to me, so I pressed again. It all turned to powder.

I wish I could remember where, but I just read that silicone degrades the THC. I have both. Not sure what to use now. Have you ever noticed the rosin coming out dry? I mean the material left in the bag. I have noticed that if I press it twice, the viscosity of the rosin changes, and you can't...

Right. Freezing cold is what you need. When I started making bubble hash, I was using the bucket and paddle method. I used a winemaking spoon, or a paint mixer on a drill, and ice water. (bud was frozen) After using my "washing machine" several times, and after doing much more research, I...

I just got a 6 ton press from HF looked on YT to see how to build the plates and the temp controller. After using it, I can't see why I would ever need more than 6 tons. My phone, as well as my head, has a timer in it. I've made rosin from nugs, ground nugs, and maybe some bubble hash. Very very...

I just started following this thread, and maybe I missed the reason, but why not distill ALL of the alcohol in the distiller? Why finish it off outside of the distiller? Is it so you can watch it? Will it get burned or too thick if left in the distiller? So many questions. So little time.

Ok, so I'm going to use SIP on my next grow. For many reasons I can't cook my own TLO soil. I was thinking about getting maybe some Roots Organics Original Potting Soil, and then add some microbial inoculant (or not). This is because I don't want to hassle with PH and synthetic nutes. Does this...

Thanks Azi!

Hey. I'm interested in becoming a Sippie, but just have a couple of questions. 1. If using nutes, like FF, how do you feed? I mean, if you keep adding water or nutes, won't you be over or under loaded with one of them? 2. What about the roots getting oxygen? We let regular pots get pretty dry to...

I know this thread is a few months old, but it is close to what I am looking for. I'm using Fox Farm nutes. just the trio and some CalMag. When looking at the feeding chart, I just assumed that the different color sections were an either/or products. Now that I see that Fox Farms makes all of...

Seriousely?! Wow. Just wow. Snowiing pretty hard here.

I've always been interested in how hash was made. Now with the internet, you can find out how to do anything. I mostly moved to hash this time because I need to stop damaging my lungs so much. If I don't need to smoke leaves, why do it? This also pushes me toward concentrates. This means I get...

Well, DD, that is highly considerate of you. Yes, I have to try it. One thing though. Why would this be stronger than a nice clean hash? I mean, isn't the trichome the Higgs Boson particle of the plant? I'm not getting how it is more concentrated. Are the trichomes made up of smaller quarks...

D.D., I don't understand how you hooked up the portapower. Is it in between the bottle jack and the plate, or is that yellow cylinder just a sleeve with the bottle jack removed? Nevermind, I see now. I looked up this press. I see how it works now.

So, would it make any sense to make a top 1/3 of HF, then maybe about an inch of 50/50 mix, and then OF? Or do you think just a definite layer would be better?
