SC Labs has some results on Rosin testing. http://sclabs.com/tested.html?option=com_scl_tested&Itemid=551&view=grid&client_ids=&sclsearch=rosin
It seems that they average in the high 70%s which is really competitive with BHO. There's only a few tests so I can't draw too many conclusions without more info.
You can draw conclusions about your starting material with your yield from pressing though. The higher the yield the higher % your starting material was in the first place. I pressed some of my outdoor organic sun grown nugs from this summer and got a 16% yield(on one jar) so I could safely say it was at least 70% of the 16% yield THC in the nugs.... 16x70%= 11.2%+ THC in starting material. Very rough calcs. But being that each approximation is on the low end I would say that my final number is far below the actual %.

Wouldn't it have been more like 19-20 percent original thc content with a lower yield of hash oil (16percent) @ a less than pure content? Law of diminishing results?

My two favorite house strains test out at 24.66 THC and 17ish. ( never had em' tested indoors) Very clean and high quality for outdoor, so I'm told. :roll:

Those are definitely some great numbers for outdoor. Mine was a bunch of bags seeds that I had no idea what they were and it has cure my urge to pop random seeds for a long time forsure. None the less great taste and a sizeable yield to hold me over. Would love to see some pics of your house strain.

If you saw the nugs you would know they are definitely on the lower THC%, 12-20%=16% on average I would say.
Working backward from my yield on the squish:
Rosin Nug
1.6g from 10g = 16%yield this is the resin content of your starting material.

Assuming that the final product was 70%+ THC that means that I have:
1.6g Rosin X 0.70 = 1.12g of THC in my 1.6g of Rosin

1.12gTHC/10gNug= 11.2% THC in starting material

Yes the yield gets smaller and smaller but also more pure each time. So you use that final yield to work backwards and find an approx initial content. With my low end estimates I could probably add another 1-3% on their but I like to play it safe.

I think you have the diminishing direction backwards. If you have 16% yield and that yield is 70% THC you have to take 70% of the 16% which would be the 11.2% of the original... You can then assume that you didn't get all of the original resin from your squish and assume that your rosin has a higher THC content than 70% and add a few % for margin of error. But I would still say there isn't more than 16%
Let me know if that clarifies it or just makes it more confusing.

@Joedank .....Respect brother. That is impressive looking. What type or press and methods are you utilizing to produce that slab? Was that pressed from kif or bubble hash?

@TerpCylia Are you using that 10 ton h frame yet? I have read through hundreds of pages concerning rosin since I first posted here a few days ago. We are still deliberating our purchase but I will post up some pics once we get a press. I was almost thinking about grabbing a cheap A frame press just to play with and get a feel for rosin extraction. I have personally never so much as used a hair straightener. There is a chinese version of the rosin technologies press that I'm still waiting on a price quote for.

thank you . i use brett mavrik from you tubes vert hairiron tech where the rosin falls to the bottom of the parchment once heated
only kief from a trim bin that is 150 mesh ...
clamp and hair iron turned off . it rarely gets above 200* on the irons ... the MATERIAL only gets to 140-50 TOPS according to my laser temp gun ...
i have made about 2 ounces so far this way and it sure beats butane hassels ...

What's the minimal amount of hash I need to make a little decent rosin? Harvesting white widow soon, i expect to get 50g+.

Can I Turn My Goopy Scissor Hash Into Rosin? Using parchment paper and my sister's hair iron? Thanks

This are my favorite so far. It is allegedly a sister pheno to C-99. Oregon genetics is too complicated to explain in a post. I have many others, but only two have been tested. These are indoor and outdoor pics. I have had this strain for 7 years.... I think. It's called Rosetta Stone from Bros. Grim, but is missing a documented characteristic sweet smell. This strain has a foul smell that people really love or hate. I'm thinking of calling it Butt Hair... ya know, smoke it and get shit faced. As soon as I find my other report for my (alleged) GSC I'll post it.

Is this the best use for scissor hash, or should I smoke it raw in a pipe instead

The first thing I squished was some scissor hash. Turned out fire. So Fresh tasting too. Also tried pressing a fresh off the plant bud but had to blow all the water off to get to the rosin. Still tasted pretty good.

Thats an awesome looking plant dude, love those big indica leaves. I can't wait to get my environment dialed in and get to breeding but it will be a while before I can do that.

I have debated getting the $75 dollar one from Harbor Freight but since that about a 1/4 of the price i'll pay for the Dake 10Ton so I'm hesitant. Either way I need to sell a few ounces of the oil I've made to pay for it. So this week I'm focusing on packaging and networking with some dispensaries that are in my area. Once I get the cash flow it will be time to pull the trigger and probably have everything I need by the time my harvest is ready in a month.

I'm sure you'll have no problem moving your inventory. I went into three different dispensaries yesterday to see if they were stocking rosin. None of them had it in stock, but all three were very interested in getting some.

They definitely like the quality I have but the ones here in Santa Cruz haven't been selling what they already have very quickly. I think people just haven't been exposed to enough good rosin so there's a smaller market. It will happen soon enough. They said they will be ready to take it in a week or two and by then I'll have the packaging dialed in.

Any chance someone can link to a straightener that they know is rockin some of this rosin, I wanna make some for myself and I have had a few people make it for me in the past but I would like to make enough to last me a week or so and then be good lol.

-best temp? what kind of screens to use? how high are you?

I appreciate any help, I am baked and curious lol.

We watched the video and my son's girl just produced this Remington. Said "she had been using it since she was a teenager. We used 75 micron hippy hash. To calibrate the temp we used a candy thermometer at 180 degrees. ( I don't think that's the best temp) Anyway, the screens are the 25 microns that come with hash bags ( I think 90 mesh would be better) then we wrapped the whole thing up with parchment paper.. This was all shit scrounged from the house. First pull was 32%. I used a glass bead to remove it from the paper, it worked perfect..... after that I was wishing I put on gloves and watched some more videos. This stuff is stickier than oil, in my opinion. I'ts like a really fucked up Sugar Daddy. Then we smoked it. I threw all the screens in the freezer. I think that should be a good way to clean them...... As for how high? Pretty fck'n high! I Learned about the whole thing right here. I hope this helps you. Stay tuned, I've got a press on the way and a whole bunch of new info to try.

I saw that. I was already tripping and ordered some Teflon This guy is great. He is going to be better than Penn and Teller. I have not seen the one where the PHD comes in though.. This is Oregon and we are tested here. I gotta get one of those machines.There was a used one on E- bay a while back for 10 grand.
