My "bottom drain" is a siphon..a tube running in from teh top, and down into a bucket, bubblebag setup, just vaccuming the bottom of the tank, like you do to clean a fishtank.. it is like an underwater vaccum cleaner... you actually remove very little water, but almost all is the most trichome rich.

Done in a black 120L dustbin, on a chair (for height, for the siphon)

I was thinking... What is to prevent the terpenes from sublimating from the chilling element of the freezer (to get sucked out by vacuum pump) after they have sublimated from the plant material? I made some observations in my cold trap temperatures, in that they might be TOO cold in certain places. So, I would catch terpenes, they would freeze in traps, but then seem to sublimate and get carried as a gas into the next stage, where they would re-condense. Does this make sense?
