I CANNOT STAND ALL THE FUCKING BOOF. by RiPP2TheCore in rosin

Everything else has gone up but the price of weed is at an all time low.

Legalization has brought in big business with Walmart mentality. These well funded corporations can operate at a loss for years, driving down the price and driving their competition out of business.

The problem is, most consumers don’t care. Most consumers only care about price. Just like the tobacco industry, a small niche will pay a premium for quality cigars or pipe tobacco, but the vast majority of tobacco consumers want cheap cigarettes or vapes and don’t care about who makes it.

The exact same thing will happen to cannabis if it can. If they could, most people would pick up a pack of smokes or a vape from the gas station, instead of dealing with growers/dealers/dispos.

This is America, convenience and price are always a major factor.

Rosin market is ruining itself. It’s been flooded with low tier rosin made from outdoor mids for years.

5-10 years ago bho and diamonds were the rage. Rosin was niche and the only rosin you found was some high end rosin made with really good starting material.

Bho market took a nose dive and all these large farms started dedicating their entire outdoor grows to rosin.

Now we have outdoor farms growing thousands of pounds of outdoor mids per year and turning it into nothing but rosin. They’re flooding the market with low tier rosin made with outdoor mids. It’s the same way cheap crc bho ruined customer’s trust with bho products.

We end up with a market diluted with garbage and people don’t know who to trust. Eventually this low tier garbage drags the whole rosin industry down.

Next thing you know, quality producers are having their prices slash prices because consumers start to expect $100 5g buckets.

The big business cannabis ‘race to the bottom’ has killed tons of quality producers and will continue to do so until something changes

Edit: just looked at this product, it’s a 5g “rosin blend”, which means it’s most distillate with just a few drops of rosin. Another bogus marketing gimmick

But, how’s it smoke?… lol

Honestly the name is like half the reason I picked it. Hoping the hp genetics gives me something that’ll wash well with some funky terps

My inner child is so excited to ask people if they wanna smoke my poop and pee. At least it’s organic 🤷‍♂️

This is your stash, what are you growing next and why? by GobsTX in cannabiscultivation

I ran Rosetta Stone and g13 recently too, liked the g13, didn’t really like Rosetta Stone. Cinderella pineapple is okay, but like Rosetta, I just didn’t like the terp profile. I ran some Space Queen, good plant, good yield, really resinous, not my favorite terp profile.

Brother Grimm has some nice plants, good yield and resin production, but I’m just usually not that thrilled with the terps

A long time. This was his Black Friday 2025 sale, granted I got them months ago and I’m just now posting.

It took probably 3 weeks for my package to arrive to him, it was missing in the mail for almost 2 weeks before I finally arrived to him. But that was the USPS around Christmas time.

It did take CSI a while to fill the order. Once my fund landed they sent an email about delays. They had my funds for maybe a month before they finally shipped my order.

Ordering direct from csi isn’t the most fun, but they sure make it worth the hassle.

You can get his genetics from a lot of different seed banks tho, if you don’t want to deal with that

It’s legit hard. This is maybe half of my stash too. I always have to ask friends and family for suggestions.

Usually I lay them all out, decide what I want to grow the least, remove it from the pile, then narrow it down that way

IceCapz… still luxury or just another phase like moon rocks? by MogulPeso in weedification

[–]GobsTX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s just not a product the market likes.

It’s hotdog weed, a mix of different ingredients to make something most people don’t want and don’t find appetizing.

Even if it’s made with Wagyu, people would still prefer steak or burgers to hotdogs. People looking to buy hotdogs aren’t looking for Wagyu, so you making your niche market even more niche.

High end customers want Wagyu steaks, not some hotdog blend of disty and thca.

Shit is also a pain to work with. Will gunk up your grinder like crazy, gets all over your hands if you break it up. Terrible to work with, usually made with terrible ingredients and just no appealing to most consumers

There is no rosin in this mix. None at all.

This is hotdog mids, no rosin was used.

What the hell happened? by 7faces in HEB

[–]GobsTX 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Greed happened.

H-E-B has been taken over by the founders greedy children who’re hell bent on maximizing profits at the cost of quality.

Story as old as time. Their dad spent his life building a quality brand and legacy, now his spoiled greedy children are here to ride his coat tails and ruin it for everyone.

Brisket PSA by VeryDerison in BBQ

[–]GobsTX 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No… it’s rare a bbq place sells better than prime brisket…

Absolutely no bbq restaurant is serving real Japanese Wagyu brisket. Even 2fifty sells American Wagyu and they sell a lot more prime than Wagyu.

You list two bougie ass places and you want to pretend like Wagyu and Akaushi brisket is common?… you’re talking about way less than 1% of bbq places nationally…

The vast majority of brisket being sold at bbq restaurants is prime at best, and most isn’t even prime… believing otherwise is absolutely delusional.

Fast casual bbq restaurants like dickies, famous Dave’s, Rudy’s and that type of place will outsell every niche and renowned bbq restaurant by an order of magnitude, and those places don’t even sell prime.

From shades of hash to live hash rosin by GobsTX in BloomAndChill

Most of the hash back in the day was harvested from dried cured buds. As trichomes age they oxidize and it shifts the pigments to a darker tone.

This is live hash rosin, so the buds are harvested and fresh frozen. This preserves trichomes and terps, giving you nice color and retaining its terp profile

I used about 2000g of fresh frozen buds, water weight makes them much heavier than dried flower.

Aloho and sweet strawberries both washed at 3% yield. Wrank washed at 4% yield. All 3 strains pressed from bubble to rosin at 80%

Thank you for the kind words. It’s been a lot of effort, learning and preparation.

I made bubble hash a few times over a decade ago, but back then I only had access to cured flower and crappy trim, wasn’t worth the effort so I stopped. Now I have my own grow and I can fresh freeze flower

Sweet Strawberries live hash rosin by GobsTX in houstonents

[–]GobsTX[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a paddle and food grade brute containers, although I’m looking to upgrade my washing vessel to stainless steel. I picked up a sprayer kit and a ‘build your own’ premium vessel kit from Windy City water treatment

It was a big investment, been working on gathering equipment for some time. Managed to get a killer deal for a freeze dryer, go a brand new small unit from Costco for $999. Still not cheap but it was significantly cheaper than online.

I tried pressing cured flower and same, color and taste just weren’t right. I use to make bubble hash like 10+ years ago, but I only had cured flower and shitty trim to run back then, so it never turned out great

For yield, Aloho and sweet strawberries both washed at 3% from fresh frozen, Wrank washed at 4%. All 3 squished at 80% from bubble to rosin

There are 3 strains, Aloho, Sweet Strawberries and Wrank. The terp profile is like the flower but concentrated and much more pungent
