Yea the mold is the "as seen on tv" silicone mold for cooking meats so the fat drains away...
Here check it
As far as keeping stuff secret,... well read my sig.
If I give my word to protect it, like cuts and recipes from certain folks.
Then I keep them tightly secured.
Otherwise I share what the universe has blessed us with. Whats the good of having something you cant share?
The flow of all energy is circular. Give and you shall receive... you know the drill....
Thats the same batch the darker ends are due to the thickness .
The bottom of the pyramid is sitting up when they set up so they have less weight on em thus they remain lighter in color giving it that two tone look.
Still transparent just a bit darker amber.
I tried it to increase jar appeal, everyone loved em.
Lots of wasted oil in between the pyramids though. You could collect the waste and remelt, but its a pain to do....
Taxed for aesthetic appeal
lolHow i did it:
Vac purge ultra thin layer in the vac oven @ -25 hg for 45 min @ 110 to get the butane all out, then pour into the back of the mat while its hot and let it set up in a cool room.
*Needs to cool quickly or else it may cloud and wax up...
Nice thread, Ive been following along for a while... Good Stuff.
Respect,

page 7 at the bottom, and 1 on page 8 at the top I think.
I really enjoyed you talking about nutes. I also love seeing 'quality of life' things in your pictures, things like your cloning setup outside to make mass-cloning easier. Anything else that you do that makes the work load easier on you/your workers?
Either way though, keep up the great work. Love the constant updates, I'll be here for awhile listening/reading in.
HellaFella420, thanks for asking (and hosting!) - beat me to it.
FatherEarth, big thanks for the response. Super detailed response, and sex appeal on the product.
What does each little pyramid weigh?

varied from .3-.5 ...although I could get better consistency if I tried a bit harder . .
Seems good enough to me!

love those pyramids.. how much did those end up weighing individually .. im trying to find something that will allow for a quarter or half of a gram per mold.. but able to do a half oz to an oz at a time..
Nothing really specific comes to mind, just want to mention that you have to think from a wider macro viewpoint when dealing with all this workload. It's not enough to do or accomplish something without game planning and brainstorming [often times "crowdsourced"] from the people that are there. I have plenty of good ideas on this, but I'm always open to ideas or revisions to the dictated work flow from the people that are actually doing it if they realize a more efficient way to do something. This is just as much about being a good manager of people and time as it is a plant manager. The biggest example of this I can think of comes with trimming.... managing the work flow and materials is crucial so that people aren't sitting idly by or disappearing because for that 30 sec they had nothing to trim. I have extreme amounts of respect for trim managers on hillsides that do 1000+ lbs a summer.. insane
That I can dig. Like most things, once you understand the processes and the "how-we-do's," it's more a matter of managing people and personalities..
(I'm not oversimplifying, am I?)
Nope, not simplifying at all.
The fundamentals and experiments were nailed down years ago, now its just planning and orchestrating things to happen I suppose... More managing people not personalities, only twice that I can think of do I remember having to tell anyone to STFU, or tone it down...
The most annoying thing is the few people that continuously volunteer bad ideas or try to explain what your doing wrong or a different/better way to do it....
All I can do is think to myself, "If it's such a better idea that you have there, then why are you working for me and not the other way around..?"
What an incredibly douch-y statement to make, but alas... so is trying to "fix" my "mistakes..."

if they're truly horrible ideas then i get it. but i'd rather have someone that's interested/passionate enough to want to think about it and offer ideas (as long as it's in a professional manner) over someone that just doesn't care. i like outside opinions, even from beginners. there's been a couple times where the different perspective helped me refine my idea/setup. i think there is always room for improvement.
i do make it clear to all my helpers that having an attitude or getting emotional in anyway is never tolerated. so when they do offer thoughts, it's in a calm collected professional way. and sometimes i politely strike them down and jokingly call it the stupidest idea ever and sometimes i say "Wow, frickin velcro. all we needed was velcro the whole time, derrr! you're a genius!"
Hella, do you try to reimburse these volunteers at a rate much higher than $12/hr?
Nah, as I said a page or so back, I'm always open to ideas that improve work flow and make tasks simpler but I'm referring to big picture stuff or when people try to redesign my "grand plans" especially when their fundamentals are already in question... There are a few different pay scales for different types of work, different levels of commitment/motivation, and inherent skill level.
Damn.... that "UK" Cheese is something! House is swimming in fresh cut train wreck stinking to high hell... I had two plants of cheese head stash that got chopped down before I could grab/point them out to the fellers, across the room I snapped around and was all "who's trimming the Cheese? I can smell it over the 'wreck here somewhere..." sure enough, someone had just started breaking it down over by the kitchen!
Who cut the cheese???
I wish I could still find the UK Cheese clone that was floating around Humboldt in 05/06..That stuff was some greasy awesome that stunk to high hell.
Seems the cut has changed since it originally got here. Have you found that to be true Hella?

This is that! One and the same... I picked it up about that time and have kept her ever since...
I always tell people, "when I smoke Cheese, I think ' that is what weed is supposed to taste like!"
Nice!
Good on you for keeping something for almost 10 years!
How are you enjoying your twister?
