share that dab stash! (picture thread)

Wow! Mind comming over? Just got done seasoning my new quartz nail...


...oh wait, teleportation isn't real

An absolute pleasure Brother! Thank you for the kind words.
And no worries man, I too am super busy in the garden and making sure my latest harvest of Blueberry Dream is cured properly (this is merely a Homemade cut of Blue Dream, but the Blueberry Profile is much more dominant than the Super Silver Haze)

Curing Cannabis in Colorado can be a tricky challenge due to the altitude and super dry air.
This harvest smells of fresh baked Blueberry Muffins with a hint of Grapefruit..sooo stoked to sieve this into some great tasting Hash.


Damn, very impressed with that quality with no vac, very nice..

I'll have to dig through my albums to find some Qwiso runs, both vac'd and only very light heat and fan techs.



^^^^^^Hell yeah!!!!
This right here!!!!!

If I'm successful here, you would be my fourth "convert" ...Hardcore Solvent Enthusiasts seeing pictures off my work, ended up saying the same thing, and I taught them my process through PMs..

It is completely different from solvent Extractios, the Taste brother, the taste..

So, mind-blowing.

And then we got the new Rosin Tech... Making even the contanimate bags, into dabbable oils...The Capitate Glandular Head is a magical endeavor....

"Herb is the messenger, Bubble is the message "

Thank you for the sentiment my friend, looking forward to many posts of value with you!



Thanks so much Boog!!
Yeah man, DSW is the originator of the 10 second sift tech, he can be abrasive at times, but I would too if people stole my tech,and claimed it to be their own.
-but that's a whole can of worms I don't care to open... Lol



YES^^^^^^ This Brother!

It may seem that I'm hating on BHO, but I am not... I simply want everyone I care about know, that true bliss of the Cannabis plant lies within unadulterated Glandular Heads, Solvents are relatively new in this culture, and what I'm seeing is unscrupulous profiteering from companies.
While traditional sieving techniques have been around for thousands of years.

Also; many of my acquaintances are now looking to sell their BHO gear,like CLS, Ovens etc...

I fully support anyone looking to switch to the Solventless movement.



The non-polar properties of Butane embodies a hygroscopic character, meaning that the raw BHO has the propensity and the desire to pull water into the solution, this is why I eliminated water in my purging process when I was cranking out BHO Runs.

I Use sand as opposed to water for my "Heat Bath"
-I put the sand in a Deep Dish Griddle,then my chamber gets nestled into the sand, then more sand is added around the base of the Chamber.


Exactly!! When we freeze fresh plant material, there is a great deal of water inside the plant matter (even more so with chopping while extremely wet)
When water freezes, it expands causing the cell walls in the leaf to rupture releasing chlorophyll,plant waxes and lipids.

This is a topic I got in many debates over....

I do not like freezing my material period. Whether solvent or water ....
Wait until the material is dry to the touch, and she is primed for solvent extraction.

I did however freeze my Butane.

I take the same approach with my Bubble, however I like to cure the material prior to extraction.

Before the cure, THC is still in its acidic form, locked into its carboxyl group (THC-A) which creates hard, shatter like resin.

Here is some bubble that was processed while fresh, but not wet, nor frozen.







I called that batch "Bubble GlHash " as she literally was like glass, super shardy, but the high was more localized to the Head, , intense heady high that was short lived.


I think you're right man, all the "crap" was released on the first blast, the second slab looks extremely stable.. I'm guessing she is very brittle?

Great job man!
Hope I helped clear some things up my friend.

A few more fresh run Bubble pics..











^^^
All completely dabbable, and left just a tad of residuals on the nail, which is simply the wax membrane that encase the Trichome and the cuticle where the gland meets the stalk.



Hey man!!! Thank you so much for the warm welcome, I really think I found a great group of friends here.

Looking forward to many posts with you!

I think I most definitely need to check out the Vapman, sounds like exactly what I need.

Long live the vapor, much love FC.

Edit; more Shatter P0rn...





Patty flipped over itself.. Creating the thick slab above ^^



More Bubble (My first *Successful FullMelt)

holy shit that looks amazing! thank you for sharing.

Too late to edit my other post but I just picked up some Craft propane wax that was on sale today too. (Also removed the tiny hair that was sitting on the Money Maker haha.)

Money Maker

Candyland

i wish i had access like some of you do. this prohibition is killing me.

 

[BoogerMan]

Thanks @Hashtag46&2! That's exactly what I was looking for.

Yeah it is very brittle. Shards are breaking off and flying every which way lol.

Just did a run of dried and cured cherry kush popcorn. It is pretty sappy so far. Doesn't seem like it is going to harden up. I'm guessing it will have a nice pull and snap. I am very interested in comparing it to the fresh frozen cherry kush run I did a little ago. So far it smells just like the fresh frozen run. Cherry Jolyrancher baby

Having fun with shapes on the patty

Keep that chin up bro, after all, it could be worse - you could live in the cannabis backwoods of the Western world like I do!

Majority of tokers here don't even know what the word 'strain' means!

Wow! Mind comming over? Just got done seasoning my new quartz nail...


...oh wait, teleportation isn't real

Hahaha man you know the second they develop that teleportation tech (or I can get away from my academic commitments long enough to fly) that I'll be there. Still, it might be better for you to come here since I don't think I'll be carting my meds from this side of the world to that side without any tricky questions and even trickier incarceration from border security lol

 

[NorVape]

Good point!

From one dark backwood of prohibition to another hahha @herbivore21

 

[herbivore21]

Here's something I fractioned off with what I suspect was some accidental thin layer chromatography - these mysterious tiny white crystals. I wonder what it is??? (Apologies for the dreadful picture! It was so hard to hold a loupe and camera in right position whilst so medicated!)

So I just dropped a small pile of these tiny powdered crystals seen above under a cheap jewelers loupe. It had very little taste, melted absolutely instantaneously, leaving a partially melted slightly yellow but almost clear like water liquid that solidified on my dabber. It was pretty amazing how instantly and spotlessly this stuff disappeared on the sapphire insert on my infiniti/dnail/pyrology recycler setup.

I could swear this seems to be like what I have seen/heard of high purity THCA to be like!?

This stuff is definitely giving me good effect. Just shoveled another small scoop of the stuff, I'm sure it was only like .02g or so, I'm really feeling the effects of this. I feel somewhat awakened and I notice an immediate, heady boost to my up until now very lightly medicated state (only had a bowl of flower and a dab of absolute shatter all day). It vaporizes absolutely instantly when dabbed, I've never seen such quick clean vaporization.

I went right over to the small jar of remaining flowers I have left, about 4-5g of particularly pungent smelling, reasonably fresh nugs and all of a sudden I felt noticeably more medicated. Like I'd just had a good sized dab!

Sadly, there is extremely little of this fraction left, since there might have been .1g total that I had in the first place. I'd have loved to have done some more testing with this but I suspect this wouldn't even be big enough of a sample to test using HPLC even if I had access to such a thing. lol

Keep at that science people!

 

[salivape]

@darkrom For sure it's a good deal for a made for purpose product, especially when you consider the manufacturer, but having such a large press in my house would just become an annoyance. I love my weed and my dabs but it's bigger than my house could handle. Perhaps that's a UK problem It's definitely a UK problem that these will most likely be more in the region of $600 for us.

Rosin Technologies are demoing one that's gonna sell for $3600 It does have a reported 2500 lbs of pressure though... There are videos on the rosin tech (closed) page for those who are in the group.

 

[BoogerMan]

I can't wait for an affordable rosin press. $3600 is out of my budget for personal runs but seems very reasonable for large scale operations.

I like d-nails $300ish setup I think I'll be getting that and some DSW sifting gear and maybe even a bubble washing machine thingy lol.

Here is the cherry on the flip with some natural sunlight. I love this damn strain. The aroma is amazing!

where can more info on the Dnail presses be found? i looked on their site and do not see it on there. are they discussing this on instagram or somewhere else?

There's a couple posts about it from last week on the D-Nail Facebook Group. The group is pivate but just apply to join and they'll let you in. Not much more info on them there but they have a few extra pics and it looks like there will be different plate sizes depending on your pressing needs.

Yup there are at least 3 sizes that I know of, I'll be beta testing this one I'm pretty sure so I'll give my thoughts when I get one

 

[2clicker]

really stoked that you get to test one! good shit. anxiously awaiting your thoughts on that piece.

i just watched Johnny Bs "death to BHO" video where he gets the shirt press. was getting excited watching it knowing what is coming.

cant fucking wait.

Hey my friend!

That slab is purdy Brother, well done.

I want to try and save ya a lot of cash here...

DSW is awesome, abrasive, full of candor ... I get along with him well.

However, his screen set is expensive,and is wayyyy back ordered.

Try checking out Pocono Screens, they will custom make screens with your choice of framing and micron size. They do this at a fraction of the price, and have plenty of screens on hand.

The most important factors..
2 screens stacked.

1 screen is about 150 micron, this goes on top.
2nd screen is about 210 micron,this is the bottom screen.

Concept: Material is worked on the 150u Screen in 10-15 second intervals, the heads fall directly through both screens onto the collection area.

While the contaminant stays on the top screen, during the "Work-time" the Capitate Head is separated from its stalk.

Due to gravity... The heavy oil filled gland falls through both screens, and the stalk floats like a feather often landing horizonally on top of the second screen.

Hope this is of some assistance...

While I'm here..
More Bubble.. This stuff was incredible , super sticky, and would pull just like pull and snap oil..







Much Love FC!

holy hell that shit looks amazing! ill bet the flavor is fully intact.

ive considered trying some sifting tech and was close to pulling the trigger on some gear. i am a screen printer and have access to all kinds of mesh sizes.

the stacked screen method... is there any videos of this being done? what type of return are you talking about with this tech? thanks!

^^^^ this is exactly why FC is one of the best sites in the world!

Thank you for that info @Hashtag46&2! I will definitely check out Pocono Screens! You are a life saver

I just got a job offer so in a few weeks I should have money for at least the screens then hopefully a good press shortly after. And of course some new e-nail accessories

If I can make something even remotely close to what you are producing, I know I'll be a happy camper

@herbivore21 is this the first round of beta testing? Any idea when the d-nail press will be available to the public?

If it is going to be over 6 months, I may need something to hold me over. A t-shirt press is the only other affordable option right (besides using the hair straightener)?

Now I just need to figure out what to do with these 11 cans of Newport I have left

Thanks 2clicker!

Yes sir...
Simply YouTube DSW Sift tech.

At EXTREME purity...you are looking at a 1-3% return...however, this is pure 99.99% Glandular Heads..

The great thing about this tech is you can grab up that tiny yield, and have one amazing head stash at the ultimate quality.

You can pull the small yield aside and continue working the material.

I would say, you will end up with about 5-8% of full melt Terpene loaded return.

But, you can continue to work, and get up to 10-15% for edibles.

My goal is to do the Dry double screen method.
Put the 99.99% heads away for the ultimate head stash, then work a bit more to about 80% heads then move over to the water sieving...

Take the 80% dry sift and add back to the water sieved remains , re-incorporate the terpenes.
Factor in the Rosin tech on "contaminant "

And we have a yield closer to the solvent extracts.

This has been one of the more debatable factors in the Solvent vs. Sieving Extraction methods...
Most are all about the yield, I'm more about purity, but this allows for the absolute best of both worlds.

And....
You might get a pm from me sometime down the road...

Access to any mesh?!?!!
Awesome

This isn't really a dab stash I guess but I didn't know where else to post this. Took 6.5g of oil and decarboxylated it then combined it with ~48 grams of coconut oil and filled 88 gel caps. Took one to test it out and they're nice and strong. Edibles usually don't really work great on me but these are doing the trick for sure.

 

[eckstrakt]

 

[Jared]

Finally figured out something to do with all the vaped weed that's been laying around my house in jars for months. Made some more gel caps. I love these caps just because they're so simple to make and ridiculously easy to handle and store. Just blasted the ABV then decarbed the oil and mixed with coconut oil. Someone on reddit said I should use some soy lecithin but I googled it and it seems there's pretty mixed opinions on whether it's healthy or not.

 

[vakednotfried]

anyone want to go halves in some drug trafficking charges and ship some over it Sydney Australia , lol joking ooo but the jealousy of these stashes.

Isn't the abv already decarbed?

 

[Silver420Surfer]

Late for the 710 festivities, but here was some of my stash.

LARRY SKYRENE Fresh Frozen Incredible's Extracts Black Label

GORILLA GLUE #4 Grown and extracted by Green Dot Labs

WiFi TAHOE OG grown by Green Dream Health Services extracted by Green Dot Labs

RASKAL BERRIES

Happy Belated 710 All!! I think I over did it...

 

[Jared]

To some degree but not fully. To fully decarboxylate it, or at least decarboxylate it to the point you want it, it needs to be at a constant ~250 for ~20 minutes. Maybe I'm totally off in my thinking here but with a convection vaporizer heat is only actually touching the cannabis for however long your total inhales add up to which I'm guessing is significantly less than 20 minutes.

Yes but you're also using higher temps. I do not know the answer, I'm just asking cuz I've heard both. So I'm a bit confused. I have a shit ton on abv I'm looking to use. Thanks for the reply, I'll look in the abv thread for further questions. I didn't mean to derail sorry.

 

[Silver420Surfer]

As of my stop this morning, 22 flavors of Green Dot(blcak and white label), 2 flavors of Incredible's Live Resin, and 3 diff Live Resins from TR Concentrates. Am I still living like I am in a non-legal state or what? lol
I still have the "hoard", or the, "stock up while you can" mentality, that comes with the living so many years in a non-legal mj state.

@Jared -- Always room for one more at my Dab Table!!
I think I am a bit West of you from what I recall in your posts(at least from some of the dispensaries I've seen you mention). I'm about 15min east of Boulder to give you an idea. @Bouldorado and @c76man have been out for sessions, PM if you're ever out this way and we'll set something up.
