I ended up smoking it in one setting. Was tasty but I could definitely tell the difference between how dark it got compared to the Ice water hash rosin I made of the same strains. I just stop smoking before it hits that point.

Cleaning definitely makes a difference though. Even when pressing for rosin. Here’s a uncleaned sift I pressed right before just to see what it looked like. This one had much less clean burn and was darker.

Wonderful stuff! That’s one drum circle I can get behind! Zab was asking whether they sex and remove the males out of those huge grows? I’m thinking probably not. But don’t really know! Some of those Afghani fields go on for miles it seems! This almost looks a little more modern! If you can say that!😁 And don’t think that running that drip in that steep terrain is an easy task! If you run three-quarter inch drip straight down a hill for about 75 feet it will build up so much pressure you’ll blow out connectors, right and left! It’s a delicate, balancing act to work your way down with just about as much up as down. That is old school waterline, running straight out of the 70s. It’s an art!

High tech Presses, NUG, smasher, dulyteck,etc! Kind of depends on what your final goal is! I just sift Then hot water bottle it! So not very knowledgeable on pressers. But was thinking about an HTP. But I think I’m too cheap! Maybe someone else will chime in. Was also thinking about just getting a mold, loading it up with some lower grade sift, Putting it in my vice, And heating in a little with a blow torch, like you said! And crank down on it! See what happens! Will probably always bottle press the high grade sift.

what would be the best temperature and humidity nick. would it be better with a low humidity low temp.
for dry sifting? and cleaning the contaminate out would have to be low humidity and definitely low temps, but most important is the drier the weed the better and easier it is as you see them making it in hash making countries with warm weather but dry conditions
