I say if your getting it now then you just have to press longer. Long as you don't see you can press lil longer

This all new. Lay it on me.. whats the secret?

You aren't supposed to use cured buds?

Nope, you want around 20% moisture content, cured buds have around 5%. Really all your doing is a steam distillation, so less water = less steam chaperoning oil out of the nugget.

 

[CannaBruh]

I use cured flowers with no issue, it's so yummy
I also use a table top vice, you might not be getting enough pressure.

I was turning off all my fans and shit so I could hear if it was sizzling.

I wanted to get it down so I could press my trim and fluff after harvest.

Plus i bought that silicon tipped dabber but while the first time was easy to gather, the next couple times was a bitch!

Think I might buy a clamp thingy tomorrow.. they're only like what.. 5-6 bucks?

I feel like this is gonna be like trying to become the rosin whisperer.

It all depends on the flat iron you use. Since you got it coming it now just press harder and lil longer. Try turning it up a lil more so you won't have to press longer. I didn't know about the uncured nugs but the ones I used weren't really cured just dry

Yeah that might actually work well, or you could get those boveda pack things if your bud is too dry. I have a lot of cured material that I wind up pressing and those keep the moisture content right around where it needs to be. Nothing beats the 5 day dry though, my yield can be has high as 30% by weight if I hit that window perfectly. Doesn't hurt that I grow absolute fire either.

I dont need to be trying to balance on a hair iron. Lol.

I think pressure is my problem.

 

[CannaBruh]

skip the clamp, get a table top vice from harbor freight or go arbor press just two cents

Reason?

 

[Dr.Pecker]

Step one. Make some killer hash. Step two. Infuse the remaining trim (the stuff you made the hash with little popcorn buds and sugar leaf) oils with either olive or coconut oil using low heat no higher than 200 degrees. My personal favorite is the coconut oil infusion. If you cook anything with it make sure you tell anyone that eats it. I've never eaten a piece of rock candy that got me high. I think those high temps destroy the good stuff.

Over on @doublejj 's thread theres alot of rosin talk going. Check it out

Harbor freight shop press converted to 20 ton air hydraulic jack & low temp plates.
Kief squish....







P.S. it helps that I grow fire weed...

^ jaja this is what I'm talkin' about! A cheap screw type vice will get ya by until you can splurge on a pneumatic press (end game)

pressed this just now, I use a hex/allen wrench and a 3cc syringe I cut (for the tube smasher) instead of a garlic press which I inevitably destroyed. This is just a tube reamer smasher to get a nice cookie puck, then put the puck in a vice between some parchment (I skip a filter) press to tension, turn on heat, then jump on the learning curve of time vs temp relationships and how buttery vs gooey the end product is.

The rosin I'm getting from this 2 year old kief gets hard as a rock & shatters like glass...

I don't know man I'm not 100% sold on the idea. What about all those hairs and lief pieces. All I ever see is microscopic chunks of hash. never a big chunk like this. Guess how many grams.

 

[Vnsmkr]

Its not as big as you think. To each their own. So much shit out there this is the least adulterated.

 

[Vnsmkr]

Take your flowers and press them, no water, no co2, no butane, etc etc

There's no hairs or leaf.....I'm squishing dry sieve kief thru 37micron silk screen bags.... I squished 14gr of kief today & collected 6.2gr of solvent free rosin....45% return

Pressed flowers by far is the best most greatest flavor experience for me kicks the shit out of BHO, ISO, & bubble imo. They all can be great, but even my worst overheated gooey screwed up presses are dabable.
