Different strokes indeed sir

. I personally don't like to eat chlorophyll and plant material. Although st8 hash/keif isn't that bad for cooking, also I might suggest branching out from brownies, ground bud in a box of brownie mix is for high school, hehe. I've started using just BHO or c02 oil.

As for smoking, I've always preferred kief to hash cuz you can just smoke a bowl full and get blitz, actual pressed hash is stronger I suppose but a pain in the ass to smoke, esp when BHO exists, hehe. Also, I let my space case build up for months running 100 dif strains thru it, now that is some killer keif.
If I grew as much as you, well making BHO makes sense but I'd never do it at home without investing heavily, 100k was a bit of an overstatement. I'm sure your right and it could be done quality without 5 vac ovens, a turbomolecular pump, a cryogenic freezer, etc, etc. But it's the closed loop system and explosion proofing that I was referring too. If you don't have blast proof walls and ventilation hoods, you're doing it wrong.
The fact that you call it wax I think speaks to the lack of experience you've mentioned. I've hated the term and to me it refers to the low quality homemade stuff people sell on craigs list here. hehe.
And lets equate this to craft beer, or fine wine, not veggies. I consider myself a connoisseur. Does the wine connoisseur build a mini vineyard in has back yard? No he leaves that up to the people that have been perfecting their craft for generations. Same with craft beers, sure, some guys brew some decent stuff in their garage, but the best shit again comes from the small guy professionals that make their living from it and pride themselves on their product and their name. I guess its hard to explain to someone that hasn't been exposed to mmj. There are 400+ dispensaries around here, a lot of shitty ones, some ok ones, and a select few that take great pride in having the best shit around, that is where I shop, and it beats lbs and lbs of a few different strains at a time.
PS> In your fridge? where did people come up with storing concentrates in the fridge/freezer? My shatter stays glass at 80deg, hehe.
PPS> Black market sellers always claim the black market is better, so perhaps you are biased? hehe.
