Yesterday's photos at 9.5 weeks.
Can't wait to harvest saturday. Got a babysitter and one of my patients will be helping. I will probably try to make a bit of rosin as well.
I'll doy best to catalog everything on temps, time, and methods.

I believe I used a total of 2 cups alaska veggies and tomato as a topdressing. It is too much. Signs of nitrogen toxicity in late flower. I need to use less. I will have to check my notes.

Stay tuned!
Going to finish cleaning and setting up for rosin. Might make a small bit or rosin and experiment with temperatures.

Sticky icky icky ... ... wow, just wow! The fricken top on that plant is incredible; hard to imagine it holding up without the staking. 
That is certainly some mastered strains in it's background.

Not sure what the fuck happened...
Tried pressing at a ton of different temps and went through like 6 nugs. Nothing.

HEld one of them bitches for 20 sec. Beyond frustrated right now. lol
I see steam but then no oil. Maybe more pressure is needed? Am I using the wrong kind of parchment paper?

nah. cured 2 months. I just got a little bit by setting it to 300 and pressing it on my fireplace slab. Not as much as i see videos of comparable nug getting.
How long till after i hear the sizzle do I maintain heat?

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

It's best to use uncured bud, I only let mine dry out for five days for optimal rosin yield. Some really resinous looking bud doesn't press out anything, that's what really changed my whole approach to pheno selection. I've found that there's some kind of mysterious component that makes some bud more optimal for rosining than others. Most don't look outwardly as frosty.
If you're using a hair straightener, set it to about 280-300 and apply pressure with your knee instead of your hands. That made a huge difference before I built my press. Make sure you don't have the bud on the crease of the parchment paper fold. The knee is really crucial though, use a stone surface like the one in that picture and really center all your weight on it and press for about 8 seconds.
here's a press I threw together out of a $15 digital relay, 50w tube heating element, harbor freight arbor press, and some scrap metal I milled and welded on. The rig is less than a hundred bucks and a lot more consistent if you have a drill press and a stick welder handy.

You aren't supposed to use cured buds?
