To make thc-a you will want to get familiar with separating kief from bud and using a rosin press. Once you have some nice thick, opaque rosin (most will end up this way after a day or two of curing after being pressed) you can mechanically separate the thc-a by pressing it lightly with a 25 micron screen starting at 120f and again every ten degrees until you reach 210f. This will squeeze out all the oily terps and leave behind the nearly 100% pure thc-a. I have a thread detailing most of this process here. This is what the thc-a will look like when you are done:Interested in learning to grow and make them.
beginner and uneducated.
I already shop for the thc crystals and enjoy them very much!!
I would just like to learn more about them how to make them and such
I bought the jar pictured at my local shop for $40. On sale.
Do these recrystalize in sauce or am I just silly to think that??
Help me I feel stupid and I want to learn!!
Teach meh!!
Weird I made thc-a by just using my dabpress as you stated with rosin same way as increasing the temp. 10deg. After said and done my thc-a was clear then I melted it on the press let cool and break up add to left over terp sauce. Ill find my pics and post.To make thc-a you will want to get familiar with separating kief from bud and using a rosin press.

You can then take this thc-a, break it up into little pieces, and reintroduce as much or as little of the terpenes you have extracted as you like to get a final product that is even better than the one you have pictured. To get the clear crystals like that involves a much more expensive, hazardous, and time consuming (months) extraction process using butane that most people agree results in inferior qualtiy when compared to rosin(solventless) extracts.
I stop at the step in your third and fourth pictures, I don't like heating it up again after its already separated. Looks like you got a good yield there, nice press!This is what I made using the 6ton dab press 25u bag heat and presure and some good rosin.
This is exactly what I read before attempting it myself 2 weeks ago. Results look good so far. Maybe 1more week till I get in my first run.DIAMOND MINING WITH LIVE RESIN : A step by step guide to the recrystallization process — Ed Rosenthal

Can you explain how you went from rosin to the white chunks? Then you heat cured it?This is what I made using the 6ton dab press 25u bag heat and presure and some good rosin.
I think rosin pressed from full melt, then decarb'd and then left on. a heating mat for a week or so. I've seen the rosin turn a green shade, then after heat treatment it goes golden and developed the-a crystalline structures.Can you explain how you went from rosin to the white chunks?

it sounded like he pressed rosin through 25U then heat cured......

Any buttery texture rosin pressed multiple times in 10 degree increments and 90 second intervals starting at 100f working up to 240f. Each press squeezes out terpenes leaving the white thc-a behind in the 25 micron rosin bag.I think rosin pressed from full melt, then decarb'd and then left on. a heating mat for a week or so.

Good video by nugsmasher:
The video is great for showing the technique but I promise its still straight forward without the fancy nugsmasher touch, can't wait to see your results! Btw, without the pressure control I think the key is just having a light touch when you do each press.I have a bunch and def gonna play with this next week
