I noticed the same thing when I was growing and pressing Sour D. Even older material would come out golden and have stable consistency.

Even though my flower rosin almost always come out paler, my water hash rosin vaporize cleaner in the banger.
I had to buy a brand new banger and look at the leftover puddle of oil to finally come to this conclusion.
I'm shying away from flower rosin, only for personal if I m in a hurry to try a new cultivar.

Do you combine all grades when you make your bubble rosin? I am curious if it affects the taste or effects by using all grades or at least anything below the 190 combined.

whole plant fresh frozen method is really good. it basically equates to live resin. it is really good. i like rosin just because it is solventless and not hard to get an end result that rivals some of the best out there. you need to start with high quality plants though

I used to only use the 25u bag, but lately I use 3 bags, the 160u, the 73u and the 25u. I had one strain where the 160u pressed well (I use another prefilter on top of the 160) But for the most part I only press the 25u and the 73u. If I get blow outs I put the parchments aside and at the end Ill mix all the fuck ups together whether 25u or 73u.
I know the number 73 comes from bubbleman year of birth but anywhere from 70u to 90u seem to be the sweet spot for the best resin heads.
I do such small batches that it does not make sense to use all the bags, I like to use at least 2 now because the difference between the 25u and the 73u is significant, 73u is far superior in all categories, the 25u can be similar, it is generally less potent and better for the morning I guess...

low-temp plates with a harbor press, cheapest best press.

Anyone repressing for thca crystals??

educate us!
I did have this one strain, made bubble hash, insane quality, great great bubble hash, some of the best I have made.
Then I press it through malitta coffee filters, yield was so lame! There was more hash left in the coffee filter than I had rosin. The rosin was very buttery, gritty, not smooth. It tested at 33% THC and then I was like WTF!? not only did I get a lame yield but on top of that it tests low THC? I figured it was likely very high in terpenes. It gets me so lit, some of the best I have made if not the best.
I can't help but to think that the stuff left in the coffee filter was still very high THC, perhaps THCA.
Best Rosin press available?
Is the sasquash really worth the extra cost vs a DIY type?
any opinions on what the best press on the market is and how they compare to a DIY type press? thanks!
Sasquash has a lot larger surface area for pressing large quantities at once. I easily press 20-28g on my 3x5 low temp plates. Sasquash is also a lot more compact than a big ole shop press, but the squishing power is pretty much equal on both setups.
10"x5" Sasquash Press with 25ton press = 50,000lbs / 50sq. inch = 1000psi ($5000+shipping)
3"x5" Low temp plates w/ 10t dake press = 20,000lbs/ 15 sq. inch = 1333psi ($479plates +$300 press= $800 shipped)

Anyone repressing rosin for thca crystals
i've been seeing alot about this and haven't looked into it ENOUGH to be clear of the process
but
my buddy just got a sasquatch v2 and i've been wanting to figure out the process and give it a try on his equipment with our buds
we both grew high CBD hemp this season and i'd like to try repressing in a similar way to see if the CBDA would do the same as the THCA
the CBD rosin is fucking spectacular from these cherry's, suzy's, t1's...

not sure I see the point too but when you are faced with a cultivar that yields so little rosin, you are left thinking what is left behind?? I dont really understand why anyone would want to make thca crystals because isnt all hash all THCa anyway!?

I agree its somewhat of a novelty but im trying to take some darker less desirable rosin mostly from finger hash and tern it into crystals to make some fire hash even stronger. The terp fraction will probable be given away.

I have this plant when I make water hash from it it makes the most beautiful hash, great yield, great plant to wash. But it's almost like it's a super dry resin. The one time I turned 25 grams of primo blonde 73u bubble hash into 7 grams of dark rosin (pressed at 83C).
I just made hash with that plant recently again and I know not to press it, what a rip off!
Does anyone know what is happening with this cultivar? what is left behind in the coffee filter? It's like white powder by then.
The thing is I like rosin because it's a clean final product, I dry the hash open air and so it does have some contaminants, whereas the rosin is clean. For that reason I feel that what is left behind in the filter, even though it's mostly white powder, is not necessarily something Id smoke now that I know rosin.
So what is left behind,? Oh yeah most importantly, the dark rosin tested at 33% THC, so did I get mostly terpenes out? I gotta say that rosin was still straight fire and got people very high.
Has anyone anyone seen anything like it? It's the only strain Ive witnessed this so far. generally I ll press 10 grams of hash and turn it into 6 or 7 grams of rosin, not 3 ....

Repress at 100C.
I've had it happen once or twice but with 25u.
Then there's that one time a black puddle of 100C second press sap buddered up to an tan brown paddy with a tinge of green.
Life is full of mystery. I keep old hash presses separate from flower.
I would advise anyone curious in a new technique to look over kindasfck's Instagram feed. It is a combination of rosin tech and THCa crystal formation.
