What’s the secret to so light, pressing buds that our FF live and taking the plants w all cloudy and clear trichs
FRESH with the correct TEMPS and right squishing pressure
Wish I had something to tell him bc I did remind him that even light oil when decarb gets dark. I hope he isn’t making dark by going to 180f
Iv experimented with the Mexican brick before, dont ask… long story short, blond as fuck… but still smelled like hay and tasted like shitty ditch weed… could not give it away… but it looked fire
160°F, very low pressure,guage barely loves, about 3 minutes, usually get rest results at about 85% cannabinoids and 8-12% terps!! @keeef907 fresh frozen live!!
It seems like he’s got the pressing process down as that’s par for the course the issue is that you can pretty much assume most if not all dry material is going to come out dark if it’s trim and with the nug the longer it’s stored the more of a chance it’ll be darker since it’s a larger chance that there will be pulvarized plant material that’ll slip even super fine bags. It’s very rare that i’ll pull light rosin even from fire non-hella fresh dry material - could be a lack of technique on my end but i’ve got a few jars actually from a friend’s 9lb Hammer that tastes great but is super dark. If he’s really focusing on keeping a light color profile it’s gotta be fresh frozen to be honest, I never could maintain a consistent ‘nice’ color without. Keeping a close eye on the trichs with a microscope about 2 weeks before scheduled cut time helps a lot too
Not normally. You still have a lot of oxidization that’ll go on which will darken things up a lot - the best luck I’ve actually had on dry sift rosin was sift I used after running it through a Trimminator tabletop model and hitting the trim from that in a 220 micron bubble bag to keep the riff raff out since it didn’t have much time from curing bin to the trimming machine to break down and make shit dark - It came out excellent and had awesome terps but as someone who tried to make fresh, old and ever type of sift in between to ‘good’ rosin so I could skirt the cost of a freeze dryer - short of using a liquid nitro tumbler to sift you’re best off with making bubble for the level of tech we can get in our hands without taking out a loan
Dark , does not always mean bad just as light does not always mean good…
Sorry @SubstituteCreature I’m goin to spam your post.
Any intrest in this, its for sale.
Absolutely, just that they waited a bit for the trich heads to mature past their lightest possibility. If i’m not mistaken it’d be more potent also. He mentioned this was just something his client had wanted - personally I just wanted to learn to do it so I could say I could and have another skill locked.
How well does a unit like that work? And what’s the asking price?
It works as it is intended. I payed 5k for it, it has it’s own crate. It is fucking heavy AF and has to be shipped via carrier… Every time I pick it up I think to myself… " if I drop this on my buddies foot, I’m dead too" lol
Only thing I woul add is the air compressor FOOT PEDAL attachment… I think its 100 bones
I’ve actually sat on the crate… Just saying
He’s not even kidding… Fucking beastly
I’ve done a bunch of runs with dry trim and IME you get to washing the min trimming is wrapped up to prevent oxidation. Drying things at 60f/60rh for 14 days, trim for 2 or so days and then get to washing. Anything I’ve seen stored even a few more weeks in desirable conditions will lead to darker tints.
Applied over time
Yeah I’ve got a triminator trp stack, beast, terribly designed, in my opinion
That hydrolic Jack is way too much… and that’s a very good thing…
Overkill = good for everything almost, however the application of pressure isn’t linear. All rosin presses are designed terribly, in my opinion, I should add
I concur 
What size are those plates?
Beautiful work brother man @SubstituteCreature
I have had great experience with cured trim. But it’s in-house, indoor, and frozen immediately after trimming and never leaves 65°F Temps during that process.
It’s not like our golden-white-clear live rosin from fresh frozen nugs…but I still get this out of the cured in-house trim…a beautiful lighter brown color…
This came from 37%+ THCA in-house cured trim. We let them go so long they turn purple as fuck. But still come out light brown like this and fire af. There are so many little factors that can lead to dark cured trim runs…but once you know how to handle the material and set your environment up for success you can even get decent color out of material that’s matured until the heads are amber.
Dude that is absolutely beautiful work! Bravo!
