At harvest time, to Sant Yerbasi likes to remind its clients the multiple actions feasible to make the most of our crops. As in cases like the pig where everything is used, marijuana offers many possibilities: buds, leaves, branches ... Known for all the effect they generate their buds, there are multiple extracer achievable tasks for maximum resin leaves and stems.
Barring the use of stems for their low resin content (not null but almost) we will focus on describing the different options we have. First we focus on severe selection of the best leaves and lower buds.
ndispensable this step after selecting the correct plant material will it really make a difference in the final product. Recommended during the manicured live plant separate large sheets but have resin, as these only enpobrecerían final quality. The second step to take once we have manicurando and separating the top leaves and buds is important that the material well Let's dry.
As happens in the buds, leaves resin needs to mature and thus acquires its best after about two months after manicured. During this time it is very important that no dust or infectious agents colonize our precious manicure, to help recommend (once we have the well seasoned) keep all the material manicure in tightly closed glass jars. If we keep it in a sealed container Sant Yerbasi recommended to leave in the freezer 24 hours before extraction and cold causes the gland shedding of leaves.
Extraction kinds
Dry Extraction: We need a manicure previously described and qualified micron mesh. The mesh in question gives us the opportunity, thanks to the micron of the fabric, to separate the plant matter from our resin manicure're looking for. In the market we find different resources for a dry extraction of high quality. The most simple and economical we can buy is the hash-maker, PVC plastic tubing, mesh 185micras inside. It is filling the hash-maker, leave it in the freezer an hour and, to remove, move up and down sharply for about 10 minutes. We will get between one and two doses of first quality.
Our second choice if we are thinking in larger quantities are bags extraction resin extraction. It comes with a mesh bag in the background that can vary its quality micron as we are interested in extracting. If marijuana we are using for source extraction is indoor (indoor) we should use the mesh is 220micras while if it comes from outside (outdoors) would be more correct to use a 185-mesh 195micras. These subtle differences are generated by the different formation between indoor and outdoor plants. Once we have the corresponding mesh is fill with manicure fresh from the freezer and move it up and down to allow the resin to peel. If we use a bunch of newspapers as we shall see below becomes coated paper with a brown powder. After a few minutes, shaking the mesh, we put aside all the resin and collect newspapers. We keep it in powder form or put it together in one piece using specific pressers.
Travel Indoor Iceolator (220-70mc)
Our third option for growers with much material removal machines are the Pollinator dry resin. To varying degrees the Pollinator P150, P300, P500, and P3000 have the same function extraction with minimal effort. Its central drum has space for vegetable matter and thanks to its rotary engine, the smooth movements force generated inside the gland to rush on the merits. These machines are very useful for lovers of good pollen as we save time and dedication extraction.
Removing water hash (Ice-o-lator): If you intend to do a good manicure is Ice-o-lator first thing we acquire are mesh resin extraction of any of the various marks. The most important thing in these screens is to provide a kit with different micronage a mesh to separate the plant material and then to the corresponding resins according collecting / gathering qualities that pretend. Once the screens have to perform the process requires two plastic buckets of about 30cm in diameter, 5 to 10 liters of distilled water and 2-3 bags of ice (ice invalid necessary after home coming from RO water to leave the smallest possible flavor in the resin). In the first bucket we take all the material that we intend to "clean up" a bag of ice and between 3-5 liters of distilled water. At this point it is best to loosen the gland cogoll0 leaf and wooden spoon is large enough. With it we will be beating all between 15-25 minutes.
After this time, strain the water comes in using the meshes that we have previously prepared in bucket 2. The first screen you should find the water is the hardest, can vary its micron by brand or gland is intended for indoor or outdoor (220micras indoor - outdoor 185micras). A posteriori the water will pass through the mesh of better quality and lower quality correlative. Once we have passed all the water of the hub 1 to hub 2 proceed to lift the mesh letting plant material drain on the other and, once drained, returning all collected at one now empty bucket. When lifting the second mesh (first resin) we find that it is harder to pass water. A good tip is to make the water bottle in the bag hitting the bottom of this (we can get up and down the bag with one hand abruptly.
Again we see that more water falls, collect the resin mass are trapped in the mesh (using a credit card upon). Very important at this point to try to reduce the amount of water in the resin either chopping with a Blast or letting it sit on absorbent paper (coffee filters). Behind this mesh, if we have other meshes with different micron we will have to raise the following, repeating the process of collecting the Credit Card and the coffee filter. When you no longer have more types of mesh back to take the water we have in bucket 2 to bucket 1 where he hoped the plant material and ice remaining from the first pass. You can repeat the process as many times as you like by adding half a bag of ice every time knowing that after the first 3 repetitions quality and number drops sharply. dispponemos Once the different grades of resin with their past, with your name clearly marked on the left paper towels to dry for a minimum of one week in a dark place and ready for pressing or eaten directly into dust.
Medium Icelator (500gr) 220-70-38 microns
* Sant Yerbasi blog recommends the use of washing machine for extracting Ice-o-lator for further cleaning process while the minor physical wear and the washer "bat" pot for us.
Hash oil extractions: In the market we have at our disposal a number of items that allow the extraction of oil from the cannabis flower. Items like the Gas-o-lator allow us to fill the inside of manicure, or buds, and remove the resin by the appropriate gas. Sant Yerbasi not recommend this type of extraction if there is no specific purity gas. Use common burner gas very harmful can leave traces in the oil. If in doubt about the purity of the gas used better not to consume.
We hope that the above information helps serve your readers ... And they come to us with their resins for potential valuation!! 😉
Buenos Smoke!
