Extraction Rosin Pressing

[NORB YIPPLS]

Thanks everyone for letting us know that silicone isn’t good for storage….I ordered a bunch for that purpose. I dug around and found some small mason jars I’ll use instead!

I've got small preserve jam jars that would be perfect

Alot of variable their depends on strain and moisture content of bud...I normally get anywhere from 1-2g from 7-8g of bud

I believe shatter is made with BHO which i don't do I make solventless only

I guess i need to get some glass jars the ones i have i was not a fan of they have rim that catches rosin..I use silicone jars but my rosin is not stored for more the 2 wks

Thank you.
I've had shatter before, it was expensive at £65 for 1 gram
Could never get the hang of using the rig and flame to smoke it tho and ended up just putting it into
Normal bongs and probly wasted most of it.
Would rosin be kinda the same in texture and the high given off it.

Same high yes better flavor IMO but not texture at least for the most part I have had some rosin come out very tar almost tacky like snap and pull shatter but most is like sap gooey butter

Thank you for the reps

Interesting stuff
Always wondered how it was done. Thank you.

How much Rosin would be pressed out of say an ounce of cured bud.

And is this the same as that shatter stuff? Or is that different?

Generally 20% yeild is a good run and it's what I shoot for. So out of an ounce you should get anywhere from 4-6gs on average. Always depends on the material going in as well.

I don't think silicone is particularly good at keeping extracts fresh like a tightly sealed glass concentrate jar..

Green House Seed Co, Green-O-Matic rosin in glass that I pressed the other day at 195°F, for 4.5 or so minutes, in a 100 Micron.

Silicone will degrade concentrates over time. Put some rosin in a silicone jar and one in a glass or Teflon jar and it will degrade much quicker. The only two things I trust is glass and teflon. Seeing as teflon jars are super expensive I go with glass.

I've made some extremely tasty BHO in the past. I'd say if done right it's comparable. I only heat purge my chamber at like 100°F so the temps are a lot more friendly to preserving those terps.

Both have their pros and cons but I always love some good shatter.

A heat cure at 100°F, for 5 minutes or so while stirring occasionally can turn rosin to a crumble/ live resin like texture. An overnight cure in the open air can sometimes have that same effect.

How do you heat cure? Do you just use your press and kinda sandwich your jar in between them to heat it?

Does this affect terps at all?

@Frank the Dank thanks for the reps sir
