Diy rosin press

[DarkWeb]

When you second press do you fold the bag onto itself? Or just run it again same

I just press again.

You can tell the material is much more dry after the second shot.

Ya I noticed that. These plates are much better than the press I used previously. Watched some videos and see guys leaving just a small edge of the bag outside the plates and the flow seems much better I'll try that too

Yeah, I'm still experimenting. Only had this press for a few months.

After having covid my lungs couldn't take much so I laid off for a while. And I still like flower so I'm not turning everything into rosin. I basically only press bubble.

Now put half of that in the freezer overnight and compare.

Why freezer?

Try it.



It changed the texture and made it really nice to work with.

I thought this is were you were going.
I keep mine in the fridge just for the manageability.

I do hate the mess. Why I just dry sift and press hash bars now. Although live rosin is fun. And diamonds from jar tech are insane. Messy, time consuming and pricey.

Supposedly you can permanently change it with a heat or a cold "cure" I'm saying cure as in like the next few hours after extraction.

Same stuff.

Fresh.


After freezing.


Inside it.


Lightly broken up and put back together.


Left to sit for another night.

Definitely more crumbly.

Then there's this I let it sit in the closed jar for about an hour on the plates at about 100° it was more runny and sticky.


4g and it was good.

I don't know what way is better or if there is a "better" they both where changed from what came out of the press.

120 bags, bottled slow pressure until the plates close then wait 30.sec and press to 1ton. Wait a bit and press to 3-5ton. Temps between 190-210. Really depends on the bud. You'll have to do a couple test squish to see
I left it for about 3mins

Been dabbing the first presses and using the second to wipe on my joints. Oooo weeee. It's like my best qwiso w/o the nasties.

This here's a little 'tester' tent I use to fuck around with stuff test different things and techniques before bringing into use (or not) in the main flower room. This test is a dual purpose. Gaia green/organic run w/blumats I'm also testing a couple phenos and making a decision on whether to cull some older mom's or not. Might just take this whole thing and make fresh frozen bubble and press it......


Under some old cobs that never really had to put in a hard days work.

Harbor Freight 20ton shop press converted to airjack with 4x7 "Low Temp" plates...

Bubble
120 -- 90 -- 45 micron

Ran it again just in the 90 and 45 and got another decent chunk. Out of ice. Freezing the material and run it again tmrw.

 

[Jjgrow420]

Do you guys mix your grades and press or press each diff grade seperate?
