[JCat]

@JCat I won't be needing a press, ever

ol ... ok ... I enjoy pressing my own!

It definitely has its therapeutic value! But probably won't be much room in the RV for when i'm vagabonding across the continent with the girl and pup!

I know you too well!

I think about 10 years ago I started this weird phenomenon where my fingers type different words than my thoughts! I think it's like muscle memory for the fingers from typing so much and sometimes they have a mind of their own and take short cuts. And you know all too well that I NEVER proof read or spell check lol

As for rosin, i've taken a break from it about 4 days ago, as well as all other extracts in order to get my tolerance down from all the recent binge testing!

I'm tell ya bro, you gotta squish!

EDIT: @Alexis Just to add this from Uncle Vito!

I hang the bud until just about dry, Then I cut off the flowers.... and trim them.
I leave them out in an open box for a few days, then put them in mason jars.
I open the mason jars for 10 minutes a day, and re-close them.
I do this until the nugs are hard and solid.
I then consider it to have a basic cure and leave it alone.... it lasts for years this way.
If there is any "life" (bend) left in the buds, I leave them out for 1/2 hour before grind time.
I never add humidity, boveda packs or anything similar.
I keep it dry.
If I were a smoker, I might use Boveda packs.
Again.. I have meds cured this way.... hard and bone dry that still have retained their potency for 6 years!

Might try it out today honestly, and see if it makes a batch easier to press and what it does to the rosin.

did ya?

Wow.... @biohacker you are a fucking genius man! I tried it out today. Just steamed a few grams for maybe 15 seconds, and all dryness was instantly removed. Everything squished like a dream!

I did a quick squish of the same stuff without being steamed to do a comparison shot to the same material after a few seconds of steam:

The difference is phenomenal. Much easier to get a good amount of resin with virtually no contaminant. I can sometimes get the dry material to squish as well as the steamed, but usually it ends up like that shit. Definitely going to steam before processing dryer stuff now... way easier... Thanks so much for the tip!

Here is some quick dab porn... ready to watch the bowl game! Go Eagles!

I'm just the messenger bro! But it looks AWESOME! Fuck Boveda!

So happy you have seen this for yourself now!

Back in the hair straightener days I would just use a squirt bottle and give a nugget a quick spray if it felt a little dry.
