Ya...I love the process!Sorry to hear about your nerve issues friend. You have pretty hash Is everything you do dry?

Well, this run for example, I only used a 110 and 200LPI(150 and 76 micron?). Most of the chunks I've made I only use those two. Not saying it's the right way...lol. I'd be curious if anyone uses 3 or 4 screens what the benefit is?Thanks for the info, Sub. Took me a lot longer getting to reading it than it did for you to write it lol. If I were to buy a few screens, aside from the 73um…what sizes do you recommend? I’ve got a lb or more of older jars of flower I want to process into keif that I can then card and clean a little at a time. Just trying to clear space while I get started with this years outdoor adventures. There’s a shop in San Diego I found that carry’s a lot of different mesh size screens.
Those will be the two I start with then. My bags had 5 diff mesh sizes I think…but I always felt that was overkill.Well, this run for example, I only used a 110 and 200LPI(150 and 76 micron?).

I wonder if I could have maybe not gone quite as clean, in order to increase yield. And still been extremely happy.
The happle?Ha! That is the question . . . I got a new hash smoking device at xmas and you can't use full melt hash. It has to be dirty so you can make snakes that smolder. So all of my good bubble hash - that I have worked so hard to perfect - will not work. I have to buy dirtier hash just to use in it. Pretty silly, I know . . . The downside is: the more contaminants, the more you cough.
Curing does decarb THCA to THC but at the same time and at a faster rate THC is degrading to CBN. I don't think for most the goal is to fully activate the THCA, it will be less potent.. Curing is more about the taste I think.So...I fukd up. Again. It's 230 pm local, and I took two hits of the sugarlips 2nd run hash. From the bowl I loaded last night, shortly (I assume lol) before passing out. So....chores suspended...time to nerd out a little.
So, is the goal of processing dry sift to fully decarb the thca? I feel like I've not paid attention to that. I tend to learn better thru doing, rather than reading. Lol. But I do try to pick up on the obvious. Sometimes I miss.
I mean, obviously, it gets decarbed when smoked. But I wonder about the finished, cured product. The chemical processes of decarbed vs non during that "curing" process.
Anyone have any thoughts, experience or insight?
Smoother, that is the key word.Soooo....the cure.
Since I made these chunks in October, I've mentioned a couple times that I was a little disappointed in the trop cherry hash. My technique, NOT the genetic or the grow.
Just busted out a little piece. Trying to hold off on a cleaner, younger chunk I made. And while I don't need to be sold on curing...godamn...this is a different product than 6 months ago. Even a few months ago. Now, it's still not what I would call full melt or full bubbling, that doesn't change, the chemical processes have done their work however, and it is noticeably smoother and more enjoyable.
I'm operating on the premise that different grades need different times. Not a new idea I'm sure. The cleaner stuff I've made, honestly, good enough as soon as made. I do however, notice a difference at the 1 month mark, and a couple marks longer in. Since I make such small batches, I haven't had any experience beyond six months. I've got 4-5g of this 6 month trop cherries to enjoy.

Hey man...if I still lived in Delta, you'd be sampling for sure!Where did you say this taste-testing was happening at, rob?
I'm a nomad by history and habit. Few places too far.Hey man...if I still lived in Delta, you'd be sampling for sure!
I was getting ready to flower a run, but burned some tops w micronized sulfur after taking in an OG cut and spraying. I might have gone a little overboard. LolThat looks mighty fine.
Now you have me itching to make some more myself but I have to concentrate on getting the next grow going.
