About 75% was frozen right after harvesting to make some bubble hash with it. I saved 10 of the best colas to dry and save for flower.

Grow wasn’t without issues, changed nutrient line mid grow, got it dialed in now I think though.

    Thank you for sharing. Its a very cool setup I like the hydroponics. I Appreciate the rough calculations and estimates.

      Thanks and no worries!

      I plan on making some rough “guides” as I stumble through the making of my own carts. I’ve made bubble hash once before, but the pressing of the rosin and everything after will be new.

      And I’m planning on taking a few more picture than usual and sharing my process and opinions, but sometimes get too focused on what I’m doing and forget to take the pictures.

      But the press should be here tomorrow! Just need a cold day to chill the garage down and getter done!

        I think I saw your cart making post a few days ago or last week. Hope it goes well for you. I wanted to ask why you chose to go for carts and extracts over dry herb vapes? Do you know about them? Both generally acomplish extracting the plant oils and resins cleanly into your lungs. It seems like a lot of work making carts and pressing rosin just to get potently stoned cleanly. I love dabs and concentrate but its a process to get them extracted. I’d rather just directly vaporize the plant oil out of the herb and be done with it.

          I have an airizer xq2 for dry herb vapeing at home, and it’s my usual go to unless I just want to chill in bed or by the computer without having to get up.

          But the carts are for when I’m out and about, I also got a “oil” vape pen as well.

          So, for discreetness and for portability, and no offense taken, people need to chat in this community more haha.

            Very cool thanks! I love the arizer EQ and XQ2 looks like a great successor. Are you still using the cyclone/ conesseuir bowl with whip and elbow it came with? That setup didnt really work for my needs, and found that the way to really boost the extraction is to add some vape balls over the ceramic heater, bump temp up to max, and use a direct draw device. Pitch black extraction all the way through the bowl.

              Haha no, I use the connoisseur bowls, I dropped that one pretty fast and broke it. Cleaning them isn’t tough or anything, but my grip can fumble.

              I’ve got carpal tunnel and I’ve paid for enough pieces of glass, partly why I’m doing the carts -.-
