on fresh frozen?

I dont have the material. It was process by another person. They process for a commercial company and they wash this strain. So just hard for me to see the big boy washing it all the time if it was a low yielder

Yes. Fresh frozen trim by the turkey bags.

I personally tumble/drysift fresh frozen and prefer the end results I can dab right after.
Washing makes the Terps tastier, but I like making some THCA / terpene separations and not waiting on a freeze dryer.

What’s your process on that? That’s why I had to contract it out. Don’t have a freeze dryer yet… I know lame. But soon hopefully. Also I haven’t gotten my flower tested. But I would have to look up the range this strain usually falls in. I’ll back to you on that info

You can get a good starter kit by reading my initial post. PollenExtractor.com tumbler is super cute for doing small runs. $150?
You can get Dulytek spring loaded plates on Amazon Prime that work really well. $300?
3/4 screen sift kit (bigger the better) are cheap
Buy a 20ton Harbor Freight press (100-150$)

That’s good. You press a nug it’ll squirt 20% with a ton of garbage.
But when you sift / wash = you don’t get everything.
Then when you bag & press = not all turns to oil
So you have two stages of loss.
Also: wash gurus replied to that thread and are very helpful.

so trim wet then freeze?!?
Then collect trichomes? (wash/dry sift)
10% yield from 75% water content trim, that might be 18% cannabinoids once dried (lets call it 10% moisture)?
I don’t understand the math on that…

From my experience with having flower washed, it is very strain and pheno dependent. I usually try and wash a small amount first to see yield before I go and commit to wash a large batch. I am looking for 20-25% equivalent dry weight which would equate to 4-5% fresh frozen. I have seen absolute fire product that has tested high, return very low yields, therefore you never know until you do a test wash.

I wish they did a test run before the whole batch. Bho gives me 5.6% on the same strain

I didn’t handle the trim. I purchased it fresh frozen, and believe it dried a pinch before the freezer for my dry sift projects.
Wet trim fresh frozen washing I read is successful however.
You can never expect a high yield based on the plants thc %
You have gotta find a gusher (strain specific)
GG#4 is a gusher.
Dosido was not.

Would of been 1624g. And even dumping it. Its thousands gone.
sure, but it should never yield 10% by wet weight…

Agreed.
exactly!
and I’d guess the flowers we’re looking at dried are closer to 18% than 25% once dried.

Rosin pressing is a serious art to make money from. You have to have 5 star or 6 star and there’s a reason you have to charge so much more.
It’s my personal hobby, but there are some serious guys who’s entire livelihood is bubble presses of the Terpy goodness.
If I wanted to sell oil I’d just get a small distillate op going first and have a rosin setup because they’re both so cheap.
I’m not a fan of closed loops in garages.

Honestly want to get an Open source freeze dryer made to at least push back on Harvest right. They own the startup bubble rosin market.
