What I do to keep the press from getting stuck is trace the end of the press on wax paper and put it on each end of the press then load my hash or kief and it doesn't get stuck. I have a high end press and have never had any problem with metal shards getting in my pressed goods.
I've seen the wax paper trick. Thanks for reminding me. What happened was I applied a little too much pressure and was applying a light heat with a torch, as to experiment with consistency while cutting out time. I wound it too tight and had to use a vice and a hammer as it expanded, probably causing the metal shavings. Anyway experiment showed not to do that. Still more of a fan of unpressed.
Got an email about testers, so that's good.
Already got those f2 of Lucky Charms. 2 of 3 popped up, other bean is cracked, but just taking its time. 2 more TER were popped up. Absolutely loving the tight node and definite indy expression. I'll snap some photos of the one u ended up saving (she put roots down in less than 4 days, quickest rooting I've seen in the bucket). Harvested a massive Goji, interesting how environment plays sheen u have a role. She is far less dense than I've ran her, likely due to the heat (mid to upper 90s until I hung the filter near the light), such is the problem with indoor summer runs. Still a massive harvest, and quality isn't changed much except with bag appeal, still trich covered as fuck.
Lemon Zinger replaced Goji spot. Snow queens and Mountain Temples finishing up end of this week or early next week
Nice to be back hope everyone had a good labor day
