165° is the lowest I have tried. Almost shatter like consistency.

Low and slow is the key,and when you get the rosin tech on point,you could try solventless diamonds of almost prue thc.It's all to do with temps,to get the "sauce" aka terps,and seperate diamonds

I was Just about to ask why it’s a little harder to get off the parchment paper it’s more of an oil then a shatter candy.

I also put the parchment in the freezer over night and pulled it out to hopefully just break the pieces off but that didn’t really work so maybe that’s my problem and I just need to let it Air dry then scrape?

I’ll try lower temp and maybe that’ll help with easier scraping

depends on the herb some is just oily at same temp...in the freezer for a few minutes does the trick
lower temps you will find the same with different strains as well

some strains come off and collect with ease.

I freeze the parchment paper for 15 min and use an ice pack on my lap and put it on top to scrape difficult rosin. Every strain gives different consistency, humidity in the buds makes a difference too. If the ice pack is too cold on your legs put a towel down, then ice pack and then lay down tgt parchment and try scraping it that way. Should help. 165 doesn't always make harder rosin but some strains it makes it like glass. Dryer buds usually make thicker rosin period.

I transferred all the rosin to one page.
Now what?
Collect it all and put in a silicone puck??
How does this stuff sell? By the gram? If so how much? Have a few people interested but no have no clue.

I agree. I put my parchment paper in first then lay down the bud puck as center as possible below the ram. Then I pump the handle until the top plate just touches the bud puck. That's when I start my timer on my phone. Every 15 seconds I give it 1 pump as slow as I possibly can. Usually after 3 minutes I'm at 6 tons, I'll give it 15-30 more seconds (watching flow taper off) and then I release the press.carefully remove the paper and stick it in the freezer for 15 min or until I am finished all my squishes (if doing more than one press that day).

$40/g will sell itself but I've seen it sold as high as $80. The amount of material you have you could sell for $25/g and make profit, it's whatever they r willing to pay for it dude

Don’t know how much is on that sheet but if it’s only close to a gram, IM DONE LOL.

LOL, you sound like my wife if you are focused on the cost. Time for a recap.
You grew it to take as required
You invested in a device to make concentrates and take as required
Do not think of the potential financial value of what you using, think about the potential medical value
Concentrates are more effective IMO.

I get what your saying.
Easy with the Recap .
I don’t need a recap.
I’m not thinking about any potential financial gains.

Maybe I worded my last post a little wrong or u miss understood what I was saying.
I meant I’d stop trying to make so much at once and just use the machine when needed.
Yes I mentioned or asked how much it goes for on the street but it was just a question I needed an answer to so when someone close ask me for a bit, I’ll have an idea of what it goes for and make a decision accordingly.
I’m all about my FREE meds.

I’m 40 and have no clue what a gram of rosin/shatter goes for, does that sound like someone that is trying to make any financial gains lol.
