We weigh the bottles with ±.01g
Before spinning I like to pop them on the scale and balance the slightly heavier tubes/ bottles opposite in the rotor. I figure it is one last idiot check.

I saved 0.01g for the high speed runs mentioned above…
And you’re dead right. Proper balancing is mission critical.
Force = mass x acceleration.
When acceleration is measured in thousands (or tens of thousands) of G, small differences in mass can mean enormous forces (trying to tear your rotor apart).

Pro tip: using a micro-pipette when balancing tubes (and knowing your material density) allows you to literally “dial in” balanced.
More useful for aqueous based suspensions than the loads being discussed here…
Hitting the tare button on your scale once you’ve weighed your first tube makes it really obvious how much you need to transfer between tubes

Did you wind up using any of these?
@qma what about adding terps to rosin then trying to spin it out?

Using what?
Why tho? That ruins the point of getting the profile out of it
Maybe just add terps that are within the current profile? The point would be just to loosen it up since it didn’t work previously
But if you already have the same Terps isolated, why bother spinning out new ones?
To separate the thca? Dose the terps/cannabinoids at whatever desired ratio one would choose
Ok, there is a waaaaay cheaper method to separate the thca with rosin than messing with your terps:
Repressing with a smaller mesh.
If I had a better centrifuge i could prolly seperate rosin, but not with my amazon special

I feel like the centrifuge option could be faster though - if there was a fuge it would work in. Maybe I’m totally wrong though 
rosins not really my jam anyhow was just a thought

It is waaaay to hard to work with for its expense

Here’s a link to a fuge that hits 11,500 rpm with an opening bid of $34, and only $15 shipping!

it sold for US $420.00
who got it lol?

i think you could make rosin “jam” and then spin with cheap fuge
I dont have as much rosin as you do, mr. factory

How do you like this fuge?

Becky was a good girl, but somewhere in all her years before @Waxplug1 met her she got a little off her rocker… and she stayed that way. 
He can get some nice units without the cooling option though. I like the one he got me.
