plenty of things to pack and de pack with. i use a curtain hanger rod.

i now pack my tubes lightly enough to wear i can just shake and thrust my tube enough to where the shake comes flying right on out :] no more scooping the shit out. this mean i dont get as much material in my tube, but i can blast more material overall much quicker.

lol 818 headband, never heard of that one. good sounding ladies though!

from my understanding there where 2 different headbands and the 818 was supposed to be the better of the 2

Cali Connection 818 Headband Aka Sour OG This Award winning Strain ( 2k11 High Times Medical Cannabis Cup Michigan 1st place Hybrid Category) This cross is my Original Sour Diesel cut which is known as AJ's cut aka Asshole Joe aka Weasel as in the first cut to come out of his room of the Famous Sour Diesel collection.. This is the precursor to ECSD. I took this cut and crossed to my SFV OG Kush IBL male. I expect stellar results to come from this cross.. She can easily become one of your personal favorites real fast.. The off spring shows great structure and solid kolas with fuel sour kerosine funk. We decided to Dub this the 818 Headband to pay a little homage to our stomping grounds. Here in the 818. Flower time will be 8-9 weeks Yields will be great 800+g m2

So can i let me winterize stuff evaporate off of parchment paper? like let it filter right on to my pyrex lined with parchment?

doesnt seem to phase me :]

i spray into pyrex, boil off tane, add alchol, place in freezer

few days later, i do this: i line my vac chamber with paper, then rig a coffeee filter to hang over paper. pour away. 2nd pic is how i used to do it before parch.





i used to do it like this, now i just go straight onto parchment,

i have a shelf in my freezer that i cut some of the wire shelf, so i can set the filters in that, and put my pyrex dish under it. that way i can let it filter in below freezing temps, my freezer actually gets in the negatives.

arent the cold traps just tp prevent the alcohol and water from getting into the pump?

i hope not!

ughmm. me thinks they wouldnt go through all this work for that. me thinks its to recover a good amount of the ethanol without letting too much get tinto vac,.

if its just to stop the ethanol from reaching the vac. POOP. more research is needed.

negative 13, my assumption is that i am more likely to trap all of the waxes, fats, and lipids in the filter if do it in the freezer, so that non of the waxes have a chance to mix back into the alcohol. as apposed to filtering it outside of freezing temps, by the time my stuff is done filtering i know its above freezing. i really didnt think my freezer would get that low.

thats a good idea. ive been jacking that up..

p.s. parchment paper aint the best idea to boil off the ethanol on. unless you are reallyyyy delicate.

let the draining process happen IN the freezer!!!

heres my latest fuck up.

was doing good, had 7.62g of nice oil chilling in the chamber:



starting to wax!!!




even more waxed!!!!!!!! (40 mins later than the first pic)




anddddd too much heat




I figured id let it cool and come back the next day to clean it and it was even worse. FML.







get one of those thermometers for your chamber boys!!! theyre the BEST!!!!

if I wasnt so goddamn cheap with my parchment paper and used an extra 3 cent worth of paper i would have saved about a half gram of nice, wasted, sugary looking half waxed oil!!!!! also, this stuff smells AMAZING compared to 1. the material it was made of and 2. when it was in shatter form.

when i took it out of the freezer to break off and put onto a new piece of parchment it was like shatter wax.. kind of gritty grainy stuff that broke and cracked. pretty cool.

yeah I know. I think its just the chamber still slowly settling to the same heat at the griddle... which can sometimes take up to 6 hours for it to reach identical heat... turn the griddle up JUST a hair, and after 3 or 4 hours the chamber has finally risen 15-20 degrees which is too much :(

I seen in that high times magazine article that we should only be going to 8 militor or something which looks to me like its the .80 on the gauge and 60 degree C at the most.

in other words. thats about 24" of vacuum (so not a full vacuum) and only 140F which is about what were doing... except with maybe too much vacuum? I think ive also seen fadedawg mention that he goes to full vacuum, then releases just a little bit of pressure so its not quite full vacuum and lets it sit like that.
