I've been filling SPRK ceramic carts for a while and initially thought that my wife breaking them all the time was just her being ham fisted. After giving a dozen or so to friends, nearly all of them told me that they broke them before finishing the 1ml fill so I'm going to go out on a limb and...

I've been playing with various approaches to getting as much solvent out of washed material as possible. Gone from squeezing nut milk bags to using French presses. So far I'm not hugely happy with anything I've tried. When I started looking at commercial units for large scale ethanol...

So I have about a dozen people I'm suppling (for free) with caps for various reason. Most of them have either serious sleep disorders or some type of chronic pain issue. For the ones with pain issues, I was a bit stunned at how many of them told me that they were no longer taking opiates on a...

So I had been playing with the idea of decarb in an inert gas filled pressure vessel when it occurred to me that I could do an essentially zero atmosphere decarb with crap I had at home. A normal pressure cooker will hit 15 psi over atmospheric pressure and that raises the boiling temp of water...

I was never happy with the filtration rate or efficiency on my old ceramic Buchner funnel so I bagged a porous glass one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08317PCJ2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 To take that to the next level and to make cleaning easier, I grabbed some...

So I'm 51 days into flower on a Blue Dream photoperiod grow and just found a single bud in a corner that had Aspergillus growing on it. Clipped it, opened it up and did a tape lift on it to confirm under my microscope. It was sporulating but very lightly and I don't see any other signs near...

I've been extracting for people for a while now but with my first crop coming in, I'm faced with the question of how to dry it given that the majority will end up going towards extract (in EtOH). I have a tent set up with a dehumidifier and air conditioner so I can essentially hit whatever...

I've been playing with recipes and trying to find an approach that isn't just functional but is good in all respects. A good gummy should have good flavor, good texture, good shelf life, good appearance and shouldn't be sticky to the touch. I'll be using extract in glycerin because I think the...

Alcoholics go to meetings. I'm a drunk alcohol enthusiast! For all the other booze hounds here, let me show you how good a straight pour can be... Grab some bourbon and dates and toss them in the blender with some pectinase and kieselsol. Blend it well and let it sit for an hour then add...

Was playing with some designs and came up with this highly breathable pot for young plants. It is designed to be printed in vase mode so it is a really fast print relative to its size. Scale it up to meet your needs. Print with a thicker nozzle for sturdy prints. Non-slip texture so good if...

I need to upgrade my vacuum pump and I want to be able to control the ultimate vacuum reasonably well. The solutions I’ve come down to are a decent vacuum gauge plus an inline vacuum regulator or this: This seems like a damn sexy solution to the problem and it is actually cheaper than the...

Thought some of you might find this useful. I came across it and had my doubts since the description is in marginal English but it seems to do what it says. Dropped to -40 pretty quickly. The freeze button forces the compressor to run non-stop for 48 hours so when you are using under load it...

Was looking at drip rings on amazon and had a WTF moment at the prices. Figured I'd rather spend a few cents in plastic so I did this design. In the end I want two lines going into it anyway and that isn't really an option with commercial ones. I would recommend against a transparent plastic...

I wanted to see if you guys were having a meaningful difference in extraction using anhydrous ethanol over 95%. Going to dry isn't really a big deal with molecular sieves but if it isn't worth it then why add complexity right? -Eskander

I'm looking for numbers on how much is being extracted with ethanol washing at different temperatures and if doing secondary washes is worth the effort. My current line of thinking is to do a fairly rapid anhydrous ethanol extraction on freeze dried material at -40F and then do a soak at higher...
