I have plenty of (unheated)barn space but zero in my house for a press.Do you see any problems pressing in below freezing weather if I wanted?

I've lurked in this thread for awhile.Awesome gear on display here.
You can blast in cold weather but I'm not so sure about pressing. Any way to safely warm the barn? You don't have any hay put up or anything, right?

Unfortunately no.Came with the property unfinished,no insulation,bare studs still showing(its really a big gambrel style garage we call the barn.It collects stuff now)Its on the to do list.I wonder if it would be too obvious to my wife if I finally finished it off,added heat, then landed a press in there lol.
I'm guessing the plates would have a bit of a struggle in cold weather.

Maybe close in a room just big enough for the press?

Press the bubble hash!

It will blow your mind! I pressed some 190 micron of REBAR and the terps were amazing! Blueberries and cinnamon :bigjoint:
I have done some, but I have cheap bags n I get blowouts really bad , just waiting to run out of bags to get good ones but trying to cut back on spending tho, seems like the last couple months all I do is throw hundred dollar bills at my room.
Should only need ten more .

Your only problem will be cold feet from standing there .
When you remove your p/paper the rosin will probably turn hard like shatter, I would just bring in the house to warm up before collecting

Edit ....
I would turn on the unit , get all your paper ready, when the plates are at temp , go to the house n get your bags that you prepared earlier, then press.
I wouldn’t want to press cold buds with hot plates.

Ok cool,good to know.ty.that rosin looks so tasty,the cold was my biggest concern.I like the concept of rosin because you can run small amounts and the quickness of it.

Why not think about heating your space with a grow ?
More places to grow , warm space to press
Win win .
Haha,oh shit,I like how you think.There is a perfect space above the garage I always thought of putting a grow in...I'd have to think on that.Right now my grow is tied into my generator so if we ever lose power I'd have no worries.The barn would not be.Always an option though

This! I'd been pressing flower rosin for a year before trying bubble rosin. The rosin pressed from bubble is the strongest/tastiest I've made. It seems the actual composition of the rosin is a little different b/c the bubble rosin would overflow my NRG SE vape but the flower rosin never did

I'd love to hear your opinion on the bubble rosin vs flower rosin @BigHornBuds

I would agree that it’s tastier n stronger ,
As for the composition being different I don’t have enough experience to say .

I didn’t see a need to buy a premade press for the price. And I wanted a small brench press for bearing .
You can piece one together for 1k
Chinese 4x7 plate kit (600w) is about 300/400 the temp will probably be off , but once you know how much it’s off your good.
Mines out 20f


My biggest problem has been ,
I now love rosin, it’s so good, I don’t want to smoke anything else.
I have an oz of good bubble hash , that isn’t getting touched because I’m always reaching for the rosin.
Press the bubble brotha ;-)

Got up early this morning, so I could get some uppotting done got 8 plants 4 orgi f2 clones 3 clones of my cbd project and one clone of a Martian Monkey( gg4 x lemon alien) ready to go into flower in about 7 days or so when things come out of flower.

Then I need to up pot out of the solos I got some mimosa x honey bee and some south beach breeze from @genuity and some copper dolato from @Amos Otis as well as the old lady’s dream catcher from gps

Those babies are looking healthy again they will all be uppotted to 2 gal pots and flipped a week later

My space gets to hot from July to September so need to get things done before then. I try to finish off by June 15th. Looking like legalization might be coming here so maybe I’ll be able to run something outdoors this summer

Edit: I have a small 2x4x4 tent that I use to pop seeds in an area where I can control the environment better. I use this in those hot months to hold clones if needed. Not sure I will this year as I’m popping way more beans than I usually do
