If you really want to check out your Rosin..I suggest getting a <$25 Yocan Evolve Plus <Ebay>! NO filtration and right to the point!! Hits like Rocky..LOL It is pretty stealth for a wax pen.:cool:

Have one. It doesn't hit nearly as good as a "Thermal P Quartz Banger nail" that goes with my dab rig! The Yocan is for travel, LOL. I took up my iLeaf battery to it for much better control. :cool: Oh, also, quartz is the best for maintaining your terpene profile. This rosin is sweet, it's from the Hash Bomb strain.

I think you're supposed to use pure grain but can't get my hands on it.

Hmmm..Have to look into that one!
I started making my own oil recently..Shatter Batter (VG + PG + Flavors) or many others to start..Now I am getting just flavors and PG + VG to make my own..Have a CCell Palm on the way (oil palm unit) and a few cheapo dispensary pens..CCell Coil carts seem ok and last a few fills so far. Imported Knockoffs seem decent too. I have even refilled a dispensary cart. with my own juice and it was ok for ONE fill.

Damn @GT21 made me hungry <again>..S.O.B. LMAO
Later!

Made budder and this put me out to sleep for 10 hours dead. I have what would be considered a very high tolerance as well.

About a 1/8 of an inch thick and equal to the surface area of my thumb nail. Stock pot full of trim and that was only half of it. Deadly! Trying half a dose today to see how it works. Trying to get the dosing just right so I can start making treats and food.

Should I be mixing my buds from the bottom of the bin to the top of the bin during the curing process and should I be burping twice or once?

With my first grow I didn't burp or mix but was also using a bovada pack as well. It turned out nice but I want to try a more standard method this time.

I've only had experience curing in jars. But I burp them depending on the moisture of the buds. I think in a bin of your size, I would gently stir/rotate the buds. I've got some that went past what I like, so going to add 75% boveda packs to see if I can help them any.

The obvious answer is to get a good machine but ur probably w this being only ur 2nd grow not gonna do that quite yet.

First if all, w practice ur gonna become more efficient so dont get too weary.

Heres a few things i like to do to make it a lil more bearable.....

U can start in veg and early flower by raising the skirts of ur plants and removing the bottom shit thats gonna make for tuff trimming come harvest time.

The next thing is during the actual harvesting process , remove any leaf that u can see a petiole on. The more u do b4 u dry the less u have to do in the end. Imo, its much easier to pluck as much as possible by hand b4 it dries and conforms to the bud.

I prefer to stand while trimming as opposed to sitting down. I trim over a bench that comes up almost to ur sternum so im not hunched over.

Another lil trick is to have multiple pairs of scissors. Keep the ones ur not usin in a cup of alcohol and once a pair gets gummed up put em in the cup and rotate ur scissors. When u take the next pair out of the alcohol give em a quick wipe w a dry paper towel. By the time that pair is gummed up the ones in the cup will be ready to use again.

Cut the branches into manageable size pieces. Dont try to hold a big ass branch and trim it. Assuming ur right handed, hold the stem in ur left hand while w ur right hand rapidly open n close the scissors. Ur left hand is actually doin most of the work. All jr doin w ut scissor hand is opening and closing the scissors.

Start at the base of the buds and work ur way up.

I mentioned above a 19" manual Bowl trimmer from Ipower..($100 or so)..I ONLY use it for the lowers..the colas are still hand trimmed. (if you over do it..buds will be toast)

They work. But the markup for what you get is ridiculous

This is so redneck and I love it! Seems to work pretty nice but I guess it would need to be tried to really know.

It would make a mess with weed blowing all over the place..I saw the "Professional" model and it sucked!

I would spend the $100 and get the bowl trimmer instead..Mine came with a wet and a separate dry blade too; (Ipower) with a clear top so you can see what's going on as you trim.
