A few last pics , huge rains coming Monday night so the plants coming down Monday before it starts 

Unfortunately you can't press hemp seeds in a rosin press for oil. On the bright side it can be bought easily .

There 3 main oils I use to to create cbd oils . One is coconut mct oil , this is the most common oil used as a carrier agent. Unfortunately it could cause issues with people with a nut allergy , my wife has a slight nut allergy and prolonged use causes severe stomach cramps.

Hemp seed oil is used as another carrier agent and works incredibly well and my preferred carrier 

Final one I use is black seed oil as its got great health benefits and I use it in tropicals a lot but is the most expensive. 

Btw I have had no hermie issues with your genetics so far outdoors . I have selected clones for an indoor run and that's where I would expect the hermie trait to show if there any. I push my indoor hard with Co2 and following the VPD scale

That is really odd. Hermie I could grasp but 4 males from a single what should be a fem seed

Yip and that's why I love this plant so much , no matter what you do mother nature likes to throw you curve balls . We can guide nature but never control her 

Time for my first proper tester ..... I had a bit before but wasn't cured properly or properly dry , this will be my first proper test . Samples will be sent in next week for lab testing and once I get those back I will post the report 

Ps . This was cultivated  outdoors in winter with certain goals in mind. This bud couldn't cost more than R3 a g to produce from seed to bag including seed cost 

I did check , there where 4 seedings and 2 roots systems . They strange part was that even though they where feminized seeds all 4 turned out to me male . I also only found 1 seed casing so I am 99.9% sure I didn't have a stoner moment and plant 2 in the same puck

Sorry for the short clip.... copywrite .... no remasters allowed while relaxing and smoking phat with a few m8's

Forgot to share this mutation I got on a batch . I can guarantee only one seed was planted in that puck and just a fun pic

Thnx for that info. I'm going to try a low temp press for a longer period.. I've never gone below 90 as I thought it would not work..

All strains will have different temps , thats why you should run a small batch to test .

As a guide 

0sec -60sec low pressure so the bag is flat but not to pressed. This allows the biomass time to reach temperature evenly 

60sec-90sec at 60 seconds you will increase the pressure slightly

90sec-120sec you will apply half pressure 

120-150sec you will slightly increase pressure 

150-180 you will increase again to just under max pressure 

180-300 you want to max out the pressure .  You will notice the colour start to charge around 250 seconds but could go to 300 seconds , that would be your prime product . For prime product never let it sit for more than 5min in the press above 80 degrees 

Once you have extracted the prime you can then do a second press repeating the process to get your b grade and anything extra 

Ps - use a stopwatch if you want to consistently produce quality 

I never press over 85 degrees and low temp press around 50-70 degrees for 4 minutes . I normally run a test on unknown biomass of 5g starting at 50 degrees . I will then increase temps by 5 degrees until it just starts running . Once I know its running point I will run a larger batch . I also don't go max pressure from the start , i have set times to increase pressure . I do also have a 20 ton press with large plates .

That's awesome.. I found the more product I try to press the less yield I get.. So I go max 4g at a time.. For me the sweet spot is 100°C for 120s.. So low heat press would be for a far longer press I presume?

90u Full Melt Dry Sift same source material

Holy cow.. And percentage yield..? 

22% Yield off that strain it was a low temp press on request so lost a little yield

Good morning Sir.. Bloody good show.. On the last pic, what amount of product was pressed if I may ask.?

If memory serves correct I think it was 60g of flower 

another pic and some shatter from the same bud processed for the same client 

found a pic of the DoSiDo bud that was pressed in the video

@Green Leaf Organics some beautiful buds there man. 

Just a quick question. As an experienced grower and growing on scale do you prefer wet trim or dry trim and do you have specific drying and curing preferences?

Very cool to have someone with the vast experience like you have on the forum.

Always dry trim - ideally drying at 58% humidity at 10-12 degrees over 21 days in the dark

It came from Jaws Genetics but they where test runs they where doing and where never released to the public 

I freeze dry it straight off the tree , I don't dry it completely . I have a bud moisture tester so I dry it to 16% moisture content which is perfect for pressing . THC oxidizes over time so by freeze drying and pressing within 24 hours you get live rosin which is some of the nicest tasting terpene rich rosin with amazing colour .

Yea i run bubble hash first when pressing trim as just pressing trim alone gives very poor yields so I always advise a bubble wash on trim before pressing 

This pic is the bud I got the pink rosin from 

Many moons ago I use to do testing for many international breeders and out of hundreds of seeds this one was one of my top 10 strains . While the thc count isn't huge the total canabanoid count makes an amazing smoke with a huge terpene profile . This strain has amazing calming effects while keeping you alert and focused , great for anxiety and getting through those tough days 

Some more rosin pics and distilate carts . The distilate cart tested in at 94% THC

Check out this pressing of Black cherry punch from inhouse genetics freeze dried 30min after cut and pressed

Winter colours

We should have lab results in the next 2 weeks for this stain. It's going to be interesting to see it's terpene profile and potency
