It involves <b>mechanically separating THCA by applying heat and pressure<\/b>, thus removing the<i> lipids, waxes and impurities it contains<\/i>. All you need is a <b>Rosin press, baking paper, 120 and 25 micron filter screens and resinous cannabis<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing is to smash the weed with the 120-micron screen, the rosin is collected and joined in a piece that we can homogenize to make it look better. Then we put the piece in a <a href=\"https:\/\/pevgrow.com\/en\/7941-nylon-filters-for-rosin.html\">25 micron rosin filter<\/a>, wrap it in an oven paper envelope, <b>preheat the press to 122\u00ba F. (50\u00ba C.)<\/b>. We put the envelope with the rosin and close the plates so that it makes contact but without squeezing, we only want to heat the piece for about 25 or 30 seconds. Once this time is over, we start to press gradually, being careful not to break the screen filter, and when we reach the maximum pressure, we leave it there for <b>about 30 minutes<\/b>. Then we take out the envelope, in the paper will be stuck the terpene sauce that we have to keep, and on the other hand we have the rosin piece that we will leave in the screen and change the paper of the oven, to go to the second stage.<\/p>\n<p>This time we will raise the<b> temperature of the press to 140\u00ba F. (60\u00ba C.)<\/b> and repeat the process, but in this case for<b> 40 minutes<\/b>. After this time we remove the paper with the terpene sauce and change the oven paper, we raise the temperature of the press to <b>158\u00ba F. (70\u00ba C.)<\/b> and we step carefully again for another <b>40 minutes<\/b>. After this pressing, the terpene sauce will start to come out darker and more viscous, so the mesh will have to be changed to continue purifying. The whole process is repeated once more, but this time at <b>176\u00ba F. (80\u00ba C.)<\/b> and for <b>approximately 30 minutes<\/b>. If everything goes well after this compression we should already have a part of the THCA without solvents finished, it will look white and hard, and another part of the piece that will continue with a darker tone and smooth, that can be put together, change the screen and <b>go back to 176\u00ba F.

In this case we need the press, baking paper, 25 or 37 micron filter nets and a good extraction of <a href=\"https:\/\/pevgrow.com\/en\/4864-bubble-hash-bags\">bubble hash<\/a> &#8220;Fresh frozen&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>In this case <b>the press must be heated to a temperature of 131\u00ba F. (55\u00ba C.) or 140\u00ba F. (60\u00ba C.)<\/b>. While it is heating we prepare the extraction. You must make a square or rectangular piece with the bubble hash and put it in the filter, wrapped it in the oven paper and put it between the hot plates of the press.<\/p>\n<p>We close the plates until they start to squeeze the paper, we leave it like this for about half a minute so that it takes on temperature and then <b>gently continue to press it to its maximum<\/b>. We left it <b>about 1 minute <\/b>and we opened the plates, we took out the extraction that will have solidified enough and we placed it in another filter mesh for a second compression, and the paper that contains the first quality terpene sauce we leave it to rest.<\/p>\n<p>For the second pressing we raise the temperature of the press to<b> about 176\u00ba F. (80\u00ba C.) <\/b>and we repeat the process but for a longer time, we can leave it <b>up to 3 minutes<\/b> without problems. When we open the paper we will see that the remaining terpene sauce is more solid and dark and the THCA block is whiter and harder. At this point we already have a good concentrate, but it can be further refined with <b>another pressing at a somewhat higher temperature and leaving it longer.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Later, if we want to <b>crystallize the THCA<\/b> and make <b>diamonds<\/b>, we will have to heat it to a temperature of about 248\u00ba F. (120\u00ba C.). After a while we will see how it melts, at that moment we can take advantage of it to break it into small pieces and add the terpene sauce.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_33930\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33930\" style=\"width: 565px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-33930 size-full\" title=\"Image of THCA's diamonds with terpene sauce*\" src=\"https:\/\/pevgrow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/imagen-de-diamantes-de-thca-con-salsa-de-terpenos.jpg\" alt=\"Image of THCA's diamonds with terpene sauce*\" width=\"575\" height=\"381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pevgrow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/imagen-de-diamantes-de-thca-con-salsa-de-terpenos.jpg 575w, https:\/\/pevgrow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/imagen-de-diamantes-de-thca-con-salsa-de-terpenos-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-33930\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image of THCA&#8217;s diamonds with terpene sauce*<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%9C%85_How_to_use_or_consume_THCA\"><\/span>\u2705 How to use or consume THCA<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As with most <b>cannabic concentrates<\/b>, the best way to take them is with a bong or vaporizer.
