Good friday morning from thrip central.

Kraven, I know the feeling of losing genetics, it is heart breaking, but then, people rally and send you stuff and you may end up better than before. Love ya kid. You have to be exhausted mentally and emotionally.

DD, Yes, it was the right choice and you are paying for it now. I think the whole thing about this world is love.. you were there for him. Let me know if you want to talk or anything I can do. Grieve well my sweet friend. And rest.

My puppy comes Sunday, wanna see him? Here is his personality test being done. Please know I have 3 rescue animals. https://youtu.be/3n-Goj7exGU

Morning O.F.C. !-- Dragging my old a** around this morning !-- Got pharming to do !-- Got a complicated double flip bout to happen !-- Flipping veg to bloom --moving old veg to new location where I juggle stuff until harvest and have the next group ready by then !-- It all works well on paper but some times the actual doing it is a little harder !--
Kraven sometimes fate pushes us in a new direction with the assistance a natural disaster !-- Just keep your eyes open to the new !--

 

[Keef]

I know ya'll call it "LST" --but I have to show U how to do the "Texas Tie Down"! -- Ya'll got fancy stuff like --SOG ( Sea of Green ) and SCROG ( Screen of Green ) -- I use the BOG method !-- (Box of Green )! -- I know it's true cause I made it up myself !---I taught myself to get high too !- Wanna learn ?

 

[Keef]

Looking good Keef.

 

[Keef]

Same old stuff Rose !-- I was thinking those in bloom look exactly like the one plants I grew last month or last year --It' s all the same plant !--
People say they got a got yield from a plant and I think -
-Which time ?
That box on the left that is tied down is 2 different phenos of Nurse Larry !-- One will be a girl!

So here is the rosin tech setup. Bottle jack with heated plates on the top and the bottom. Digital readout and alarm on top. Pressure gage attached to bottle jack. Doing the flowers/ trim setup by pressing it into a puck.

Cool Umbra !-- Could U probably then take the pucks and do an alcohol wash and get the last bit of goodies out of it as RSO ? -- Does the heat burn the terepenes off ?-- Ya'll got to teach me this stuff !-- Should I have to come up out the belly of the beast with " contraband " ---I want it concentrated into a desire able product !-- There's gonna be several states voting on mmj in November !-- More markets mean more market !-- Does it become legal once I get it to them states ? -- Umbra be pushing me !-- Yeah I'm after that Simply "C" Super Critical hash oil extractor and it could get here sooner rather that later !-- I've been studying it and soon I'm thinking! -- D.D. need to release me from that promise not to move weed anymore !--

 

[Kraven]

Today a year ago my mother passed, first time I have been to her grave since we laid her to rest, today has been tough and I would give anything I have to give freely.... just to hear her tell me she loves me just one more time.

 

[Keef]

Kraven I wish I had some words that when put together right could ease your pain !--
Cuz them words don't exist !-- The month of dread has not been kind this year either ! --
Hippie told me one time that the price of life is that we have to bury our dead !-- It's cold -brutal -painful and I hate him for pointing out that truth to me !-- I don't hate him it's just one of those truths that will always be with me !

Umbra -- U have seen those science classes where they grow salt crystals ? -- U can figure it out from there !--- Might better do a little light reading about recrystallization using solvent pairs !---

 

[Kraven]

Thanks Keef.......sounds like your headed in the right direction to get THC to build big enough crystal structures that your able to work with it.....solvent pairing is indeed the key.

 

[Kraven]

Rose, thank you....been a tough spot last few days, bad storm, lost a crop, year anniversary of mom's death. These shoulders are wide and my back is strong, but this is quickly becoming a much heavier load than I anticipated.

Looks good Umbra, what kind of a return are you getting....or have you progressed that far. Trick is to get the longest hardest press you can without vaping off the goodies. I'm sure it will only take you a short time to get dialed in, stoked for you man.

 

[Keef]

Kraven I'm not much interested taking concentration any further than CO2 extracted hash oil !-- 70 + THC is plenty potent for e-cig cartridges !-- but Umbra got something up his sleeve and I'm gonna help him with it if I can !-- I can take it from plant to prepackaged hash oil cartridge !-- Just need my trick pony with it's unique desireable terepene profile and the rest is just pharming !

 

[Keef]

Read this morning about farmers burying weed in bug out tubes !-- Sometimes things aren't what they seem !- U got a surplus of fine weed ? --Why not age that stuff underground for a year and a half or so until it reaches it's peak !-- Be worth more then than now ?

[umbra]

From what I have been able to research, the rosin tech is over the 70% mark. It is straight up shatter. Actually the best I've tested for terpene and flavor profile preservation. I have not done the dry sift/kief extraction yet with the screen tea bag setup, but I am stoked about it. Been practicing on the King Louie trim, going to try some of the cherry limeade trim.

So far from straight trim it's about 7.5%. I haven't tried doing hash yet. That I would expect closer to 75%.
