Hi I just wanted to thank everyone on this thread and start to contribute now that I have implemented this into my closed loop. Running a 4x6 column with a filter plate at the bottom stepping my filters down to 1 micron. Powders from Bottom up DE, 350g T-5, 150g Silca 60, DE on top. This is last years outdoor trim and I’m amazed with the results.

I rhink they use extremely fine particles sizes of bentonite clay in some types of cutting fluids.
The clay we use isnt as fine and has chunks that may dull your homogenizer tip brother use a cheap tip if you do plan on doing it

I’m running into a problem where sometimes my product starts coming out clear/yellow but at the end of the run it’s orange. and it I think it may be happening on my first run where my chiller is at its coldest. but what I think is happening is my chilled solvent is running through my crc and freezing it up and causing channeling so my solvent has less filter media to run through.

My #1 problem. 
Its strain specific as some make it and others don’t.

This amount?
15 #'s thru that amount of filter media? 
Please enlighten us on how you make this happen.

I’m waiting for t5 to come in. Would an excess amount of b80 be a decent substitute?

That is what waxplug uses. Along with celite. Not sure of his quantities

Can’t really find any information on what t5 is exactly other than an activated bleaching clay which b80 is. I wonder if it’s another one of those products that have a ton of green tax added on

ohhh im sure it has the green tax added on. Im sure there are soo many of these clays that work.
The problem is how much material are you willing to waste to find the answer. Im right there with you bro. I personally dont like the cost of any of these powders which is why i got sorta in the powder business.
