Material size when blasting

Hash and Stuff Extraction
21

We shall see!

Iā€™m sure you could get through mad quantity but if you looked over your yield of total finished extract to biomass would be less then just extracting with hydrocarbons, perhaps just keifing it heavily

May help it shatter moreā€¦

Less plant fats and vegetable oils in the bubble. So it would probably come off more snap and pull or tacky, but not so much ā€œshatterā€

25

are you referring to running keif or bubble?

26

I think it will be more ā€œkeifyā€ rather than a nice refined hash. I will also probably use a thermos method type extraction rather than blasting though. If I were to blast, Iā€™d probably mix it up with a little trim, nug or marbles first.

27

Either, or. The lipids, inactive compounds, vegetable oils, etc are what make shatter, ā€œshatterā€. The lack of those being present would give you a more pure extract. It may shatter up with great clarity. Depending on how dry you let the resin heads (terps drying out and turning into fats from oleresin), it would still shatter up but not as stable as the latter.

Not wasting time on washing it with water and drying. You could leave the plant matter in place, run your solvent as cold as possible

I will probably dry it out a bit in a spinner and then freeze it at -40 or -50C and I do need some material for edibles and carts, so if the terps are gone, no biggie this go around. Will see how it shatters up along the way too.

This is a confusing statement because from my understanding what makes a shatter stable is carbolic acids, this what gray wolf would always preach, lipids, fats, oils are things that would reduce the stability. I could be wrong here.

I can grind 30 lbs of bud material easly within an hour with that nugget buster, the trim on the other hand can be whizzed with a powerdrill 5lbs at a time.
We recently switched from running whatever to exclusivly bud material.

Iā€™m pretty sure you have that backwards. Iā€™ve made a few slabs in my day. Fats and inactive compounds make shatter ā€œshatterā€. The lack of those inactive compounds, with higher terpene content because of less fats etc etc. The concentrate is less ā€œshatteryā€ and more pure. It will also tend to sugar up faster under less agitation, as the terpenes will always win, when trying to escape.

I use this. Itā€™s a bitch doing multiple grinds butā€¦ It works.
