Hell yea it looks good from here brother! I've been dragging ass on getting the rest of the equipment I need to blast some BHO, but if I'm picking up what you're laying down, then it may be better for me to spend the $350-400 on a press. I'm looking at spending at least another $200 to get the right equipment so that's not too bad a price hike to side track myself for a bit.
I always always prefer to support local businesses, hands down the way to go. And if I can't, then I'll at least try and support USA made products, if not just because the quality is usually better. I'm pumped to see this thing in action! My lady and I dab frequently and ever since my indoor has been popping, there hasn't been a shortage of fresh nugs So I can see one of those being handy. I follow a company on IG called Low temp Plates that looks cool but probably expensive.I just set up my camera, and while my 18-55mm zoom will work, I dont have room to see it's screen and through my viewfinder while in the 5th wheel. So I'll have to set it up outside, but I will get it done. It'll be both, a set of pictures and a video. Have to see what I need to do to post up the video. I'll start setting up when I get some daylight.
It costs me about $2.50 ea gram in parchment and squish bags to make rosin. You need to consider that when comparing costs vs BHO. I know if you do the BHO right then you'll probably need a gas extractor which runs about the same or a little more than the press. Butane is probably cheaper than squish bags but both processes use rolls of parchment. After some experimenting I found that cheap nylon bags are just as good or better than the expensive silk ones. They sell them in bulk on eBay for far less than I'm currently paying at my local smoke shop. I'll pick up a bulk pack next month but I'll keep buying from my local guy because he takes really good care of me on smokes and gives me the most excellent deals on bongs & misc smoking supplies. Plus, he's just f^ckin cool and I want to support his shop.

Sh*t!, LowTemp charges more for the plates than my whole press. Way, way, too expensive. They want $810 for the cage alone and it only has 4 return springs and no room for the controller.

Mine has everything for half the price of their cage and has 8 return springs, which are actually useful when you need to pull the package before it burns. Mine also looks better. These guys are taking advantage of the popularity of rosin to gouge their customers.

Hell yea man glad to know you got the go ahead on this year's outdoor extravaganza !! I'll definitely keep popping in to see this one through. That Banana Ice Cream sounds dank! You gonna be running Fox farm (was it?) Again? For how nice your last grow went, this ones going to knock it out of the park I bet.
Glad to hear you're feeling better. I'm in for following your next grow.Thanks.
Yup, I'll be feedin em Fox Farm again this year but a lot less of it. Gotta grow cheap this time. The crazy new Cali market screwed me so I'm really only growing for me and my tiny co-op. Have about a lb each of the Creamsicle and Royal Nepal left. Plenty enough to smoke and trade till harvest. Hopefully, an early start will more than make up for less nutes. I'm also going stagger the pots and try to lollipop them for better light penetration.
I'll come over and check out your threads again soon. Had to take a break for a while. Haven't been doing too hot lately but the Spring weather is making me feel better.
Glad to hear you're feeling better. I'm in for following your next grow.
Too bad about that a-hole screwing you. Yeah, we're always learning. I learned a lot about pest management as well. I might put up some netting to keep the cabbage loopers off this year. Also, I feel I was hanging on to the old standbys that I smoked 30 years ago so I'm going to venture into some new strains. I'm getting set up for my next outdoor grow. I dropped some Berry Bomb, OG Kush, Gorrilla Glue4, and some White Widow to go along with my faves from last fall that I cloned.Thanks. Should be much easier this year.
I thought I knew something about weed when I started growing last year. LOL, I didn't know sh*t. It was a great learning experience. Hopefully, starting from seed will give me stronger, pest free, plants this year.
Had to put my indoor grow on hold. Looking for a good class C motor home, plus my sales guy bolted with a few grand of mine. That set me back a bit. At least he could of had the decency to leave me his connects so I could recover but I don't think I was the only one he ripped off. Oh well, it's only money, and it could have been worse. I'll focus on my little co-op and ask my people to reach out for new members. I'll be straight by summer.
Until then, life's actually pretty good.
...and, I don't have to drop over a grand on harvest and processing equipment again this year. So, yaay!
