i forgot...
your extract and mini setup is looking super good!
ive seen the big dogs across the ocean do a so called "flip" of the extract when it stop to bubble, exposing the side wich was under, i dont know how to be more precise. maybe it will help in freeing all the tane also in your case. good experimentation!

Yo bro those glass are awesome, I'll find something that works good for me too but I don't think I can afford such good glass

i dont really know how much waxes rosin contains, i speculate much less than bho, and if i have to judge just by my throat theres really low quantity of plant waxes in it. ive seen many flower rosin analysises and never seen that high percentage of waxes.

Do you remember any data about waxes in various extract you made?
I'm still very curious about this.

if you mean parchment paper waxes yes, their present especially if a "poor" paper is used.

Let this aside, I was referring to plant's waxes. Don't they go into the extract with rosin tech.?

You can still winterize your rosin extract and see for yourself, i think if premium flowers are used waxes will be minimal.

Well, I think I got it. Using best flowers you're pointing to the top quality...here I just want to concentrate in the purest form my resin coming from trimmed leaves.
I just can't use flowers for this, if not for small batches, but I need to work with some good quantity of trim.

I prefer rosin for the simple reason i dont have to mess with explosive chemicals and for me is much easier to do. Also i like "just made" extracts and not stored, to me rosin is the perfect expression of this, you just "juice" what you need at the moment and enjoy extract in full freshness. To me extract are like orange juice, "just made" is much better for me.
i've seen resins wich are hard to store without having them buddering, others will stay glassy for a long period of time, propably is the composition and cannabinoid/terpenes/waxes rateo of each one to determine its buddering time.
after all i dont really dislike butane extracts and will gladly smoke them, if done with care and knowledge they are sublime!

For sure it's safer, I agree with you and maybe I still haven't smoked any good rosin, even in ''crystal'' form they were too heavy in my throat making me often cough.

Thank bro, I still have a lot to learn and yes I do the ''flip thing'' but at now I'm working with temperature. I'm still purging at very low temp I guess, gotta try and try again for a better understanding and final result wasting some time and oil for the vacuum pump

Thanks for stopping by

After more then a month from its extraction, this BHO from a Critical clone is still stable, where others changed their texture in the same amount of time.

Purifing BHO made from GreenPoison trim. Surely I did a cold purging, maybe too low temperature. Now it's in budder form after a month or so...whatever...it smokes really nice and clean, but its not the best for taste.

Here the last purge I did

[noreason]

Removed from the vacuum chamber on a smaller pad by freezing it. It is not shatter, it was only really cold.










Ambient temperature and it comes back to medium soft and doubles without breaking itself. It really isn't a top quality extract but I guess with further ISO-winterization and buchner-filtration it can turn to a even better and purer BHO. Next time I'll try it.

Got a new vape pen to test various bho along my old bubbler. I like the double ended ''head'' wich makes really powerful hit in few seconds!








And some GreenPoison BHO ready to go...

hey guys

i need a source for your statement: premium flowers = less plant waxes

plz


i see only a correlation with heat in the form of sun radiation, by this idea modern leds would produce less waxes, hmm ?

im based on the idea that waxes are protectants: from spores and insects to acidic rain enriched with yummy moleculs to uv rays and air temperature and what not

with this startingpoint, it would make sense that the more you approach the equator the more sun the more waxes you get, so yes for better flowers = less wax. easy to simulate indoors ..

but again we dont have any side by side test regarding waxes indoors, have we?

also take into account cannabinoids being the primary protectant against uv rays, not waxes

when mixing this all up in my head, i come to the conclusion that i cant share your views on waxes, too many illogical elements



there was once a thread somewhere online, like : fmcd strains, the thread was about ice water hash and what strains produced fmcd which only fm and some not even that; anyways this would be a good place to start research, as i remember how far apart the different textures from different strains/samples were: watery, sticky, elastic?/gummy, sandy, slimy..etc ... a nearly endless preset of combos , and waxes are a part of this and they interact ...

anyways, gimme some food .. erm sources

thank you

Yo domacin, I don't know much on waxes and plant's biology, but did you try to consider another point of view on this thing, like: in top quality buds there are more cannabinoids than lower buds (this should be true). Can it be the waxes are the same but the cannabinoids content is different, leading to premium flowers = less waxes content?

Would be nice to have some side-by-side with waxes analysis at the end.
