The Wife’s- zinnias and morning glory. Talk about training plants, climbers in hydro require lots of attention

Cloner- cut 10/7 so it’s about time to do it again

Veg- lemon tree x Okie up on deck, never ran her before. Mothers on the back row, good example of pure Michigan not playing well with others

Plum Crazy- 5 days pre flower

Candy Rain x Gojo- 3 weeks flower

White Runtz x okie- 7 weeks flower

Skywalker x Okie -

Germinated this gal Sept ‘23 so she’s been with a little over 2 years. I could go back and see but I know she isn’t a super heavy yielding plant and the high was good.
This was supposed to be her final run before retirement, oh hell no! She responded so well to the flowering nutrients I added she’s like a whole other plant. The high went from good to really damn good, terps took off like a rocket. The yield stayed about the same.
Good stuff right here!

Some times things just don’t go the way you think. I’ve pressed rosin a time or 2 before so I had an idea what to expect for an outcome. Not even close to what I expected. Those batch is as hard and dry as shatter. Not remotely sticky, flakes off the wax paper after it’s cooled to room temperature. There will be a use for it but it’s not what I wanted.
What went wrong? The plant needed a couple more weeks in flower. Simple, and such a dumb mistake

Never made or smoked it, but it sure looks smokable! Could you warm it up a little and then work it like a piece of hash to get a little more even consistency? Two cents from the peanut gallery!

That’s the first option that came to mind chuck. Crunch it up into a powder and roll little rosin balls in it. Redneck version of a moon rock lol

Gotten to where I enjoy a few drops of RSO on a bowl of green. Pressing didn’t work for this particular flower, Everclear will strip it clean

What press are you using? I tried a couple tabletop sized presses and never got the hang of it. Results were pretty terrible
I pretty much make ot all into RSO these days

Couldn’t find a pic so I’m thinking it’s a discontinued model. All the newer ones I saw are compact, this old thing takes up some room but it’s a beast and I like it.
RSO takes a little practice to make, lots of room to make it unique

Im jealous of those who actually get a really good return on the rosin press machines

Lots of practice but usually I can pull 15% of the weight which makes pressing a viable alternative. This time not so much

Is it just the overall return % or are you getting less than that? Might be like what JJ says and could just be the strain, or is there a chance your parameters are off a bit? I’ve only used a hair straightener and vice a couple of times just to see what would happen. There was a big difference in quality and quantity based on how hot i got the straightener and how dry or wet the herb was. I could see some of that playing a factor when you are pressing larger amounts. ill tag you in the press thread once im up and running : )

The Wife’s- training these morning glories is a daily project. 1 vine per vertical rod. Zinnias have flowers, blooming shortly

Cloner and veg are at their limits, trying to spread out the clone time, pushing flower to hard cloning anything less than 24 day cycles

Plum Crazy- flower day 0

Candy rain- 4 weeks flower and the stretch is finally over and she’s already crystallized

White Runtz 7.5 weeks flower- she’s got some foxtails up top. Dropped to 600 at 6 weeks so she’s really just fattening up. The lowers on this plant is ridiculous

 

[jadins_journey]

tried the jewelers loupe, all ways wanted to go OG and take look. 7.5 weeks flower, white Runtz

 

[jadins_journey]

2 ounces fine ground flower each wash, soaked 24 hours each. Shaken often.

RSO can be unique to each processor, some do a rapid wash and not shaken so it’s really how you like it

 

[jadins_journey]

Clone day- anybody that grows indoors, especially perpetual, shares the same headache. Scheduling. If a clone every 21 days, which the plants want, it pushes flower to 9 weeks. Not enough clearly so I’m trying really hard to hard to space it to 28, too long for some mothers.
Be a lot easier if I didn’t push it, but what fun is that

Non selects, such a waste

New clones

New mothers

Check out those roots!!

Took a few tries to get the flood cycle timed right. 30 minutes on 2:30 off. Feeds em 8 times a day

Some day I’ll get me one of those roto evaporator things, someday. Until then I’m still learning.
4 ounces flower
500 ml Everclear
= 30 ml of something good

I'm getting ready to make some samplers of my summer flowers.
My plan is to fill 8oz canning jars with broken up flower, put in freezer with ISO. Do a quick wash, then into 4oz jelly jars. Then put the jars in my dehydrator to drive off the alcohol. The dehydrator is on the unheated porch so I'll leave a window cracked for fresh air.
Still deciding how to cut it for consumption. What do you do with it?
