Lots of burner people were having issues with an unclean/improper burn. Causing total crop issues.
The only fresh air exchange I do is during lights off. This is from flip to week 7. Then its 100% sealed as I have some tricks I do for the last 2-2.5weeks in flower.
People are actually using burners in rooms? Lol yea I bet bc the propane isnāt purified like the ones we use for extraction. Those are meant for depos. The bottles I was talking about. I use to run a titan controller and ran a spiral circle of tubing starting from the far corners spiraling into the middle around my room. If Iām not mistaken co2 is best when it falls right on the plant. Iām pretty sure I know what they are I have two. One for frosty and found one that is far heavier sap coming out of the buds. I was developing the second one right before I left.
This might not be an option for some people, but my machine is rated for propane so it saves me time. When I want to clean my collection column and vessel, i inject 3-6lbs of room temp 70/30 butane heavy solvent in to my collection, then turn the heat up on the pot to 50-60C and let it sit with all valves closed for 30-40 minutes.
Whats happening inside the collection column is the warm solvent is becoming a gas then condensing on the walls at the top and continuously flowing back down cleaning the walls with warm solvent. I let it continue until its stops flowing down the sides and has become a gas for the most part. It usually between 100-120 psi when its finished.
I feel like it helps clean the gas more since itās vaporizing and condensing multiple times before recovering it. When iām done the column looks brand new and I donāt have to disassemble it. I recover all the gas from the columns and change the gaskets out on them while Iām waiting for the collection to finish.
New to the industry, and Iām only a freezer tech for now, but I might have something to shareā¦
For clearing out a tube of extracted material, rather than use our auger bit on a pneumatic drill or the big metal corkscrew, Iāve been using a wooden broomstick with a sharpened end to loosen the biomass, then push it through with a capped ABS pipe.
Spray with Ethanol and go back through with a few cotton towels, and youāre set. Our columns hold around 15 lbs of fresh-frozen, this process cleans a column spotless in about 5 minutes.
I know this os an older postā¦
But wanted to say i own rocco and @davids glass.
Davids gear is every bit as good as rocco, if not better.
I was able to pull of the best distillation using davids.
I also get better vac depth with davids.
So not all china glass is leaky.
