Thanks @guod!

In my old HPS growroom i also vegged and bloomed in the same room, straight in the pot.

When comparing then and now, the end result is that i used almost half of the electricity and a bit more surface.
So maybe gram/watt is dubious, but at least it gives an indication of what improvements are made.

All in all i'm a happy LED camper :-D

Hello,
i wanted to say: thanks for sharing the link for the heatsink company from china. i bought some of the heatsinks and im happy with the quality and the price.

good luck and much succes with your projects.
Hey @Malocan nice to hear! i hope we'll be seeing some pictures when your project is finished!? :)

This weekend had some B.H.O. fun with a little of the BlackJack cuttings, damn this is the strongest oil i ever made!

Yeah, man...Netherfly, You obviously live the good life and know what you're doing...even know how to eat properly prepared food....But I have to tell you that whenever I see homemade solvent extracts, I wince.

I recommend to you to use your great building skills to construct a rosin press and make rosin instead of BHO. Once dialed-in, a good rosin process is nearly as-potent as the very best BHO....and absolutely no solvent residuals.

It's just a press. Too easy!

Thanks a lot @tstick .... i never looked in depth at rosin techniques, but now i'm gonna have to build a DIY rosinpress :bigjoint:
And whe're googlin'.... :cool:

I'm thinking about using a tabletop workshoppress like this

And then making 2 aluminium blocks for pressing with heating elements on them.

Today received my Dr.Dabber Aura pen vaporizer, loaded it with some BHO and i must say that it's awesome!
This little pen produces some nice good tasting clouds

Awesome, man! Yes! That looks like a great idea!

Well, i ordered some stuff for the rosin press:

And found this 12 ton badboy close-by in a shop for 200 euro (220 dollar)

press.jpg

The plan is to make two 12x8cm (or 5x3") top/bottom aluminium plates with each 2 heat probes.
set the heat to 115c (or 240f) and then flatten the bastards! :bigjoint:

Is that the optimal temperature to work with? I've heard numbers in the 170F/80C range up until now. I don't pretend to know much about this process, so I'm following you and several others to gain 'virtual experience' before going ahead with my own purchases.

I will not work with flammable solvents or high gas pressures at home. Not only is it stupid, it's also now a felony.

From what i've read so far, the more pressure, the less heat.
So with 12 tons, i think i should work in the lower heat range, and with this setup i can go either way.

If you know what you're doing with B.H.O. and use gas without contaminations the risk is minimal, and a felony? caamooon ;-)

But nevertheless i'm intrigued by the rosin process.
The ability to grab a bud, walk towards my shed, and in no-time press some quality shatter is awesome 8-)
