I just bought this Nugsmasher OG for making shatter/wax -



Can't wait until it gets here. It has a lifetime warranty and weighs 72 pounds. Bought a bunch of different micron bags to press everything from bud to kief. I've got about 20 pounds of dried frosty trim/popcorn nugs (6 Whole Foods paper bags full), so I'm going to be a dab making fool for a while. What's the best way to store dabs, anyway? I was thinking of keeping them as pressed coins on parchment paper sealed in tupperware in the fridge, but people who know please chime in. Gotta beat the dispensary prices, so I'm thinking $30-40 per gram for top-shelf light, clear, low-heat dabs. How much should 20 lbs of popcorn nugs yield me, @doublejj , @Aeroknow ??? I figure I should make my $800 back ;)




HULK SMASH!!!

if you are going to squish nugs there is no need to trim them first. You don't need to use a bag for nug runs, they squish just the same untrimmed, without the bag. Just place untrimmed bud between parchment paper and squish. I use max pressure for as short of time as necessary, get it off the heat ASAP, 2min max. If it's for personal i would squish as you need it. Fresh squished is best. If you must store it I use those little silicone cups. If you have a lot of popcorn/trim to run I would find a way to extract the kief/hash and then bag that and squish. Hit me up as you go and keep us posted...your gonna love it

I'd like to think we've evolved forward 50 years, at least enough to deal with future wild fires and future construction in those areas.

i agree with you, but people like trees, and they like living in wooden houses...till you actually legislate the option away from them, they won't care that their quaint wooden bungalo is a pile of kindling just waiting for a match....

I'm sure they will only allow rebuilding using some near fireproof technologies for many of these areas in future.
These exist, but they are going to add a serious margin to the cost of a new house.

It's quite doable, the tech exists but it would add at $15-20K and up to the cost of a house. Then if the house is on city water or a well. A simple water based suppression system, water coming from a large storage like a tank or pool, and powering sprayers distributed around

I watched a video of the Malibu fire, reporter was checking a neighborhood.Most of the houses were gone or burning; a few were still standing, owned by folks who stayed and hosed their homes down during the fire.

In my hands those little silicone cups react somehow with extract (by whatever process). Polymerized the extract and ruined the silicone. I recommend against silicone containers.

I cant wait to see my burned down house.

I would imagine my 20ton shop press should still be standing? Maybe?
It would be all warped and shit but should be pretty interesting.

Really really wanting to see if maybe one of my boats got missed so I can go fishing or something. Hey a guy can dream alright!
But mostly want to know if it was obvious that I had a pretty good sized grow going on there.

NOAA posted sat pictures of the storm damage. There might be something like that for the fires. This is Mexico Beach, ground zero of this storm.

After several big fires early in the 1700's, Boston mandated all wood construction had to be covered with plaster embedded with glass. Worked pretty good at getting the fires under control.

When cutting pines up in grapple sized pieces, the lone, long, straight trees up off dry ground are much better the three or four trees twisted together and laying in water. I did 4 of the gnarly clusters, and 10-15 of the easy ones today. {I'm already feeling it, but I know my ass will be hurting tomorrow} We have a crew with a tractor and grapple staying at my work. They work with another crew who has to drive in every day, so these guys are putting in an hour or so every morning cleaning up the grounds. I wanted to make sure they didn't run out of wood to move.

I think tin roofing or even terracotta would be a good first step, no asphalt shingles or poly composites. I can remember a time in the not so distant past when yards in the country where dirt ( sweep to be cleaned ) , no grass, no trees with in a certain distance from the house. I don't think the EPA would expect the run off from neighborhoods if everyone had dirt yards, and it sure ass hell would be ugly AF , but it wouldn't burn as easy. I also have concerns about municipal water sources being used as a fire suppression on every house, it would quickly deplete the municipal supply, however a self contained system would be awesome.

But in the end terrains and circumstances would be the best deciding factors for future building codes and disaster medition. We humans have been trying to expand our footprint for thousands of years for different reasons, food, power ect.ect. and we always run into problems and usually find a solution. Sometimes we get by with dumb luck and sometimes it bites in the ass hard.
My heart is broken for all the people in the wildfires..... hurricanes.... earthquakes.... tsunamis....floods..... starvation.
And I don't have any good answer for any of it, but I think the worst is yet to come, for instance the place I am at right now, has had a 100 year, a 500 year, and 1000 year flood all in the pass ten years.

Sorry for the drunk rambling. Peace Love and good night.

The raked dirt yard is an African tradition. It was so you could see snakes. Slaves brought it to the South. My Great Aunt didn't have any grass growing within 10-15 yards of her house.

I burned up a fuck tonne of waste from my palm trees yesterday. Didn't feel appropriate to talk about at the time.
My body seems to have taken the blow better after the previous exercise, I just had to keep on poping headache tablets as the heat made my head want to explode every time I had to bend down to pick something up. Only have a small bit of work left on that area today. I like starting with the difficult part of any job first if possible.
