Last time I made squish I screened first but that was because I had a ton of weed to use up that was seeded and I needed the seeds right away, so why not kill two birds with one stone? A buddy of mine has a nice press and he screens first. He's got it down pretty good now, so it turned out nice. That was a while back.
Now I just do low tempt BHO runs from good outdoor weed and purge the heck out of it for very long time. I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to buds, I always have been but I see a lot of people are really Snobby when it comes to wax, but that's cool, I totally get it. I could see myself getting to be a big wax/shatter snob too, it's just I never buy at dispensaries and not that many of my friends are making it to share. 99% of the wax/shatter that I've dabbed is stuff I've made, so I can't really say what's all that great and what isn't, the most I can say for myself is that at least I never run out.
I drool at some of the stuff I see on-line but I still like making finger hash out of cured kief old school style as much as anything, it's all good in the neighborhood right?
On a side note, I just weighed a bag of seeds that came from one of my largest indoor plants. They fit in baggy about the size of a quarter ounce, but it weighs 36 grams. I think I got about the same amount of bud as I would have, it just took two weeks longer and I ended up with a ton of killer seeds. (Posen X (fake)GG4 x Kernel Pupil). I did a bunch of other chucks too. I'm in the holy shit I made way more seeds than I have in years phase, time to play Johnny Pot Seeds or Horse Trader Joe something like that.
Edit; I need to charge the battery on my camera, I literally haven't taken a picture with it since last time I was posting on here. I don't own a cell phone, so I need to find that fucking charger before I can post pics, God Bless America and help me find that fucking thing before I throw shit around, holy mother...
