Making Concentrates from Trim

Yeah, I've read a bit about rosin and thought about trying it out with a flat iron. Not sure if that really works if I need to invest in a press.

But using the trim for edibles is a good idea, I'll probably go ahead with that. Thanks!
Flat iron works wonderfully turned 28G of shake into about 2.5g of rosin in about 40 minutes with a large flat iron.

HOnestly thats not a great process for it. They reccomend soaking it for 3 minutes which is WAY to long, and would give you a green, most likely nasty concentrate. You want to quick wash with alcohol, so it doesn't pull chlorophyll during the process. I do 3 washes to seperate out the best for worst quality and still get max yield. Each wash is started and finished in about 30-45 seconds, and the whole process takes about 5-7 minutes total. Wash fast and as cold as possible to get the best results. I also don't chop or heavily break up the material any more than necessary. The more surface area the plant material has exposed the easier it is for the alcohol to pull chlorophyll.
I didn't concentrate it any further and I have been using it as a tincture and I haven't noticed any chlorophyll taste to it.

As a tincture it won't be real noticeable able and won't matter really. If it was evaped down into a dabable concentrate it would most likely not be great.
