Anyone here heard of or tried a Rosin tech extraction? A dude on IG called Soilgrown claims to be the originator of the tech but I see others saying its been around since 2005 but then others say thats a different tech altogether. Basically you take some prime nugs fold over some parchment paper and press it with something hot such as a hair straightener. The pressure and heat push out some of the oils we want. Just curious if anyone has tried it and their thoughts on it as a whole.
That's because rosin tech has been around for a while. I just learned this, but originally it was a method of making your 2* melt into a 5* Flower rosin on the other hand is fairly new Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
he most definitely did not invent the rosin tech, me might've brought to light a new way of doing it(with straight nugs), but he did not invent it. Its been around longer than 2005 I believe, its a tech to clean up non melty hash and make it into full melt. I made this stuff with straight nugs by themselves. I dont really like doing this as much as I do kief, you dont get as much back this way. but the flavor is off the chain! This is some kief rosin I just made some kief 'double rosin'. basically just do the same tech to the kief rosin again to yield a much clearer oil. I like to do that with a lower temp. I'll get a pic of some of that
Did you just use a straightening iron? Still want to try this!!! Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
yeah man thats it. I just dump a small pile of kief on it, press very hard with 295-315f heat for 3-5 seconds and release. remove the spent kief in the middle, use a dabber to pick out the other non-melty looking bits ad set that all aside. I re-press all the spent kief and get more out of it, as well as all the other non-melty looking bits that I kept separate.
I picked up a flat iron and gave the Rosin a try. It seems really time consuming with buds. The dab wasn't at all as tasty as I thought it was gonna be. I think I had some plant matter in it. The high was very good though. A very clean feeling high if that makes sense. As this tech grows I think we will start seeing RosinTech oils for sale at clinics. They will be pricy though as it seems like much more work then making BHO for large runs.
1 & 2 pic is of two different batches of Skywalker Rosin which to date is the best flavor Imo 3rd is chem dawg test run and 4th a dab of Sour Queen test run
Saw this and figured id share it, seemed useful if your pressing between teflon (ive heard of people using it) although i dont know much about rosin
I've pressed ground bud and trim, and it wasn't a great experience. It works with the screen but there's a lot of residual loss. I prefer to press kif without a screen.. do a quick press first to bind it all together then ball it up and press to reduce contamination. The cleanest product comes from flower material that's been hung about 3 days.. not dry yet but lost the bulk water volume.
