BHO/PHO vs. Rosin

Butane explodes and levels houses. Ethanol just sets shit on fire. I’ve been a grower for 8+yrs. I have plenty of cash available to drop on virtually any cls system out there. But safety and not wanting to be “on the 5pm news” as something went awry and I leveled my house, and 3 of my neighbors. God forbid I kill someone other than myself.

BUT, if I had the space NOT in a residential area, I would be hitting up @Killa12345 for a setup asap.

Could i maybe get more information about what equipment you use? indoor outdoor ? and how much was your grow equipment.

advice on growing ? I want to start ASAP

what about hash? and what are your yields from weed to hash then hash to rosin?

Wrong forum for grow advise. I dont give my .02 for growing. Too many ways to do it.

Do you recommend a grow box like i was the king? or maybe a more DIY version?

forsure, i will open another question in another forum

Are you using the screen of green tek?

Make that new thread so we can answer all your grow questions there! But I already mentioned what I prefer earlier :^) look into mylar grow tents.

indoor. I posted what I use for lighting, that’s pretty much it as far as equipment goes, other than a few fans.

@Demontrich is on point with there being too many ways to do it. You can get sucked into the rabbit hole if you try to follow too much advice you find online.

Trial and error yourself and you’ll find the right way to do it for your situation. I’ve done tons of trial and error runs and have still never lost a plant in flower. In my 10 years growing I’ve had fungus gnats a few times, and spider mites once. Haven’t had any pests in the last 3 years I’ve been recycling my soil…

You read that right, the same dirt for 3 years. It’s only getting better with each cycle.

I amend my dirt after harvest with a small amount of blood meal, high P bat guano, and an all purpose soil builder/conditioner which contains a lot of trace minerals, organic matter, and bacteria.

I use water only with the exception of some Urb Natural, which is bottled microbes. These help break down the organic matter in the dirt and turn it into nutrients used by the plant. I use this once per week at 5ml/gal but otherwise it’s plain tap water only.

Not anymore, I used to run screens but it required too much attention and was difficult to get full with a perpetual setup like I’ve adapted to.

I grow primarily in 16 gal totes. I run 2-4 plants per tote depending on size of the plant, I try to keep each tote to the same strain for uniformity. They tend to grow like a scrog would when they’re the same strain, same size plants going into flip.

I don’t use a grow tent, I have a room in the basement that is around 12x12 so I just grow in there with plastic panda film dividing the veg/flower areas.

About 8 yrs ago at friend house, he was introducing me to bho…

Long story short, we was inside Open blasting,vapors everywhere, he set the pan on the bar , and idk what he was thinking but he turned a electric skillet on w me screaming NOOOooOOO
It ignited, we got it out thank God.

I’ll never extract inside a residence again, CLS or not, and cls SEALED…
A porch on a shed for me,most time by light the :waxing_crescent_moon:…the new “moonshining”

So be smart if u go into bho! Don’t be that guy!

Outside and no electronics! Or smoking!

Lol, my buddy had 4 pyrex skillets about half inch of honeysoaked tane right next to 4 pans that were sitting there since the day before. All pans were on skillets, he decided to not think and lit a torch to pop leftover bubbles in the older pans and ignited the 4 fuller ones. Needless to say never use water to put them out it made it much worse lol, sand did the trick. This was years and years ago before educating ourselves about closed loops.

man those are some close calls you guys had. I haven’t had any yet, but I spent a lot of time researching the dangers and have only ever done it outdoors in a very well ventilated area far away from any kind of ignition sources. My worst experience was tripping on the ground while moving my collection dish full of tane and throwing it all over the grass. That was a sad day :rofl:

I did that last week with a tray of 1000.00 worth of clones. My big feet tripped over my fan.

Bho over everything lol.

However hash rosin of the same strain compared to bho removed this awful sulfur taste from some material I had

Anyone check out the Blue River Terps guys? Their solventless tech is awesome, they use a special machine to freeze the trichs and pull them off with static and sound waves. Then they use another metal micro filter to isolate the heads, then they press only that. No water to wash away terps. They claim their fats are as low as hydrocarbon extracts :thinking::thinking::thinking:

I wouldn’t mind trying their stuff. But meh. Not a rosin guy. Always chars my nail. Even that “fuck what ya heard” solventlessmind dude. His rosin made my nail so dirty. And for 80g. I jus wanted to see if his talk was hyped up or not

@Dabszn247 you should definitely start with squish.

I’ve seen it done commercially with a hair-straightener.
input was freeze dried bubble hash.

wasn’t economically viable.
but it was done.

Squish all day and night

I only used dry ice extracted kief, then into rosin bags (25iu), pressed on a 20t, 3x5 plates at 220*f for 60 seconds, release, squish quickly again for 30 more seconds
