Marriage is the ultimate test.

Workin on thirty years not all were easy but in the end it’s good for me !

need recommendations on keif presses. there's gonna be enough from trimming i need a more optimum way of storing it other than in my grinder. and go!

I’m a cheap bastard and use my pre press fixture that I make pucks for the dab press , idk if ya do any solvent less extracting

nah, no real extractions happen here. every once in a while i'll run some QWISO but otherwise no other concentrates are made yet. just need something that'll allow me to make pucks out of the keif for storage/curing. figure it'll keep better if it's compressed instead of just being a loose powder in a jar.

i've ran two of his strains, have another five on deck. one of the few breeders that i trust his genetics. i won't ever spend money on katsu's gear again. $200 for a pack of six seeds that only two germinate. fuck that. have a lot in my vault though. this run was some random pollen chucker's shit i got on trade on another forum. probably won't run it again. just didn't check enough boxes even if weight is giving the initial impression of being on point. i can get weight from anything.

I’ve ran 3/4 different thing from dfg - for sure Jeff’s put in the work imo happy with all !

It does imo they sell a herb hand press for about 20$ on amazon im like computer illiterate but I can find em easy peasy

it's pretty crazy realizing just how much quality keif i've thrown away over the years after seeing what this trim bin is collecting. just crossed over six ounces trimmed and still not even halfway done with this batch of flowers. think the final keif weight is where the real impressive number is gonna be.

I use HTP four ton brick press

now that's an idea... did you build it or buy it?

Bought it. $400.00

Edit: i wish i had bought the 8 ton

I welded up a metal press that fits in the jaws of my vice for squishing hash. No pics sadly. Left it at the golf club when I left haha.

The other way would be to use the Frenchy Cannolli method, put the kif between 2 pieces of cellophane and roll it with a bottle or jar full of boiling hot water. You need pretty clean kif to use that method though. Trim bin kif is best mixed with a little bit of oil.

I'm going to make some up with my lower shit using this method.

i didn't think about that.. i could likely easily fashion something big enough to fit in the vice i have and smash the shit outta it while i hit it with a MAP gas torch to heat it up... hmmm... the gears are turning now.

trim jail continues... some of these nugs are straight rocks already. bitch to get the scissors into some of em to cut the petioles, so leaves are getting cut at the surface.

Haha that's EXACTLY what I used to do except propane.
Go low and slow with the heat.. I've burned a bit of hash going overboard with the torch before. Doesn't need much with the pressure.

Don't use too much oil it dosen't mix well and was messy in the press.

For sure, I probably won't use a press at all.

The hash I've been smoking lately is a kif/oil blend and it's just amazing smoke. Goes by the name Polar Bear Stamp. The guys that make it say that getting the right color and texture as well as aroma and room nose comes from the specific strain they use which is a traditional Indian hash variety they hold super close to their chest. Been nagging for a cutting for a couple months now haha. Hoping to trade a cut of WC for a cut.
@Kanzeon this is the Polar bear I told you about.

You can see a little oil stuck to the parchment.

logic kills that first verse.

234 grams out of nine bags. 11 bags to go. seriously considering calling a friend and throwing em an ounce to come and trim the rest lol

seriously my second least favorite part of growing. the first is flipping the space for the next run.
