And yea lol, the fattest nug wouldn't be here if my duct tape and quick thinking weren't in place lol

Awesome glad to have you back! Yea I've noticed if you stop posting in a thread it will stop alerting you to new posts. And yea they seem to be nearing the end! Probably another week or two.

Yea, I'm honestly looking forward to a fresh start. They are really getting too much nitrogen which I know can actually slow bud growth. With the nutrient setup I have its near impossible to not give them too much N during flower.

Buy those plates on Amazon and a 20 ton hydraulic press from my hardware store and good to go!

Btw you have inspired me to build my own vs getting one of the basically modified t shirt presses. Will only be a little more in the end and won't get much better.

Hehe, yea it's obviously working. I can't help but wonder if your actually getting it all though? I don't see any problems with the ptfe paper, but the logic tells me you really want an area that only the wax can escape to which is the reason for the 25 micron screen. None the less press on brother!

Well I have no experience so your a step ahead of me. I've just been trying to research as much as possible so that I'm ready to go when I get it. I will imagine there will be some rosin in the screen remaining. But they advertise they are reusable. So it was my thinking that I wouldn't even...

So it's hard for me to know if I'd have bigger denser nugs with a different light. Once I can get a tally of weight that should help

Well we can see how the osram performs in my thread. However they weren't nearly as big as they could be going into flower. Only problem is I don't have much to compare to. So I tried some of my local buddy's and believe it or not it's some great smoke. So I'm either going to be really...

I thought you were using the ptfe film as the parchment paper? Maybe I don't actually know what that stuff is. Usually people surround what they are pressing with some sort of screen with 25micron holes or close. Then surround that in parchment paper to catch what is pressed through the screen.

I think I'm going to somewhat make My own. They sell the heating plate kits seperately and I'll buy an actual hydraulic press seperate. The plates bolt right onto the press piston. I can make a 20ton press for just a little bit more then the one in the link.

Using a 25micron screen right?

At 210 your probably not extracting nearly what you could be.

Check this out give it a whirl. They seem to imply you would want to start around 250. Edit: forgot to supply pic lol

Through further reading that rosin press has no control on pressure it seems. Which in case I'm actually more curious in the vice style.

Day 37 Flower Well got some big mason jars, hygrometers, and twine. We are ready to dry and cure some weed! Now it's just the wait of the trich. P.s. Another close up brought to you by duct tape!

Never too late to improvise!

Damn how much this bad boy run ya!? I was looking at one made by hpn but it dosnt look this serious.... Edit: and isn't 200 kind of low? Seems like I've been reading about a little bit higher temps?

Well put, and I don't get how anyone who disagrees actually cares about the future of the industry. Edit: and before you come at me with being new to the industry, it dosnt take experience to understand the logic in this.

I wouldn't worry too much about the red stem, but the edge of your leafs don't look like nutrient burn could be a potassium deficiency. It's really young for that, I'd probably look at your ph first though. Someone more knowledgeable will come and help. You might want to start your own thread...
