Indoor Zaaboot has gone to pot 2022 auto spree

[Zaaboot]

Hello all - hope you are all keeping well.
So I have finished washing most of the fresh frozen buds and trim, i seem to always get a higher return from trim, but there tends to be a touch more p[lant matter in the final product...give and take.

The only bag collected was the 73micron this time (I could'nt find my 45 bag which is my normal work bag...), some of the green smaller patties are from the 25 or 160, and they will go to food or something. Overall happy with the results, I got bored with weighing what was going in, so in essence I can guess that it was 10 2.5litr zip bags packed to the brim. Another way to look at it is - there was half a Purple Punch, half a Mephisto, and a whole GloF2, and the trim from the 3 as well as the Dragon fuel.

These have been sat in the freezer now since they came out of the wash bags..some are nearly dry others not so much hence the colour differences. Had to crack open the mic to take a closer look - a bit of debri but happy with the results

Just because it was in front of me - this is the Dragon Fuel that has been curing for a month or so now.

This is a bit of Moroccan hash - surprised at the lack of debri considering it is export

Have a grand weekend everybody!

Hello everybody - hope you are all keeping well!

So, I just checked all the last crop prior to heat sealing the bags, I do this for two reasons, firstly to sneak a bit out of the bag for scientific purposes....but mainly to ensure that everything is bang on the money and that once sealed I won't open up again in a month or two or three to a bag of mould.

Anyway, they all look good and ready for a proper heat seal and stashing until the new year.

From left to right:
Mango Smile X 3BOG, Northern Dragon Fuel, GLO F2, Purple Punch

Northern Dragon from SSSC - outstanding smoke, every so strong with a splendid old school hash flavour.

GLO F2 - nearly all of this went in to has making, only kept a small pot with about 10 grams - smells and tastes a bit fruity a nice mellow long lasting hit

Purple Punch from SSSC - sadly this was overdried in the brown bags, my mistake - I have had to try to rescue her by keeping the lot in a couple of very large Kilner Jars and added a large 62% Boveda to each jar. Not a fan of them to be fair as I feel they take away the final taste/aroma but I am hoping to get her back to where I want her to smoke. As such I will keep her in Kilners for another week with the Boveda, if there is no change she will be made in to hash - a real shame as she looks and smells grand, but as she is so dry I have not had a "real' smoke yet out of stubborness... this said, the mini doobie was mighty strong with a very uplifting almost energetic high.

Finally the Mango x3bog - sells like a skunk had babies with a herpy carrying Koala, whilst having an orgy in very over ripe fruit inside a barrel Diesel.
The smoke is OK, a heavy'ish Indica sedating high.

Overall happy with the four ladies, and really happy with teh hash - overall there was a smidge over 36g (Already down...) of lovely hash as well - makes new cringe when I think about how much perfectly good smokable buds went in to making it - but it is so so worth it!

The hash sits in a small tupperware box in the freezer now it is all dried, it stays there until I want to smoke a bit. A few annoying small bits of plant matter in there and tiny bit of tissue stuck to one bit which will come off before smoking - but generally it came out nice and clean (ignore the small bit bottom left - my partner asked why I dont keep what comes out of the 160 bag...thats why, it is substandard. it will get melted into a milk based hot chocolate one evening) , as soon as it is touched it melts hence the freezer for storage, it then gives me a minute or so to roll for a joint.

Whilst I am here, a quick update on the new ladies - they are all ticking along, the CBD lass is being a runt as mentioned and there are no changes there, ther DP T&C is flying ahead but both the Boomstick and Mimosa are ticking along nicely - here they are at day 13 days.

That it for now - have a grand old day and take care

I would destroy that hash in no time.
Everything looking good mate.

hey there @Sawney_bean

destroy that hash

it is lovely, I get the feeling it will be long gone before my next crop

 

[Dankerson]

You guys have me sold, I bought some bags and I'm gonna try out making some hash. Not a hot commodity near me so it'll be the first time I've gotten to try it, can't wait!

 

[Zaaboot]

Thats the spirit Dankerson - it is great stuff, har to go back after you get your first few runs dialled in, you will end up putting half of each harvest to one side to process hash

 

[Zaaboot]

Thought I would try a GIF to show how they have done over their first two weeks

Cheers

After bloody ages and ages cursing and verbally and mentally shouting at the post office my rosin bags arrived just now, and in the interest of consumer research I had to give them a quick run.

As they are new, I did a 3--->4g run of each of the Northern Dragon Fuel and the Purple Punch from @SuperSativaSeedClub_John
all I can say is they are exemplary plants for pressing. for the ickle amount of weed I put in, they gave out a very acceptable amount of rosin.
Both run at 3 minutes at 204/205 using a 120 bag.

I get the feeling the Purple Punch is going to see a lot of the press, i wouldn't mind pressing out 10 or so grams and use it to make a vape cartridge.
After a fair bit of reading on the matter, I think there is a simple enough way to make the cartridges without having to use any mixers/liquidisers/terps which in my opinion defies the objective of creating prime (why on earth would you grow weed, press it to get the finest out of the flower, then mix it with Vegetable Glycerin!!!!! makes me so angry just thinking about it!!!).
Basically, press the rosin, skip the bit where you add terpene juice or any of that nonsense, then put it in a cold jar with a lid, put that in a slow cooker or temp controlled oven for at least 24hrs at 150*F, it should bubble for a while, once the all the bubbling has stopped and there are no signs of bubbles you will be left with a very oily liquidy substance, you can take it out in a glass syringe, then inject that in to your carts ready for vaping your own carts on the go.
It seems ever so simple, and many great things are - so it must be tried. When I do, I will log it showing the success or indeed failure.

Time to crack open the rig for a sample before lunch

Nice press indeed mate, with 4 just grams that def ain't bad!

Do you ever press on lower temps?

Nice press indeed mate, with 4 just grams that def ain't bad!

Do you ever press on lower temps?

it really depends on what I am pressing.
For regular flower I go anywhere between 190 and 205, with hippy hash (Leb or Maroc) circa 180, and for my bubble hash (using fresh frozen) to make live Rosin I for around 165.
When I do bigger runs with an ounce or two I tend to lean more towards 190 with flower as it is my preferred consistency.

In all honesty I am still learning the ways of the press, but I always press a couple of bags from each flavour from each crop so have a few under the belt - what temps do you use?
