Pressed it at 175 then 220 I think just to get as much out as possible I put that darker shit in the tip of my cigarette all day, like every day it's a problem really... A few days from now that lighter stuff will be solid white it's my third smashing of this strain I just started growing Ethos hash plant BX1. All the hate I've read about ethos I would have to disagree this is my second strain from them. Happy customer Brotanicalgardens.com

Same here on the HF 20 ton shop press, except I converted mine to an air-jack and use my shop compressor, because I hate pumping the handle all the time.

About ready to buy a press. I think I am going to do the 12 ton dabpress. May also get a ice bubble hash maker but ought to start here and press and learn.
More interested in using oldler cured weed for edibles since I learned how to make edibles that are right for me. The older older weed can go into ice water hash to learn the ropes get some good dope. Press that into more dope.
It was either this or upsize my grow to coco but want a press standing by so I can press my home grown asap. You do have to let it hang dry first at least right? Id think so. Then soon like next run I will try freezing and ice water hash it to press it but any goop would be awesome to dab.

Nugsmasher just posted a YouTube video where they press dispensary grade Dosidos that's 9 months old, and still got a decent yield and BEAUTIFUL blonde color too.

I think fresh dried, at the same point you'd jar it, is the perfect time to press.

Another video I saw on YouTube, was some knucklehead who pressed fresh flower, and it basically squeezed out a bunch of plant-water and messed up his shit
so yeah, make sure you press FULLY dried material, hash or flower.This guy, lol!

Wow, need a cigarette, my pockets are tingling.. I just ordered pretty much everything you need…
I am excited, like I said I don’t smoke weed ever, I just like vaping hash and making edibles so I am looking at my plants with extra passion now. Shoot I ought to pop a bean or two, I am eager to press!

I'm right behind ya. Literally everything you posted about in this whole thread, I swear I was reading all the same shit around the same time as you or slightly after
I've already wasted money on undersized LED lights, I don't want to repeat that mistake with a more pricey press. I, too, am leaning toward a 6 or 10-ton Dabpress, and mostly looking to press dry flower with intent to use my dad's Bubblebags at a later date. Following you so I can track your progress

So I looked into bubble hash, was ready to get all things needed then lastly checked average yield and oof that is harsh to likely get .5 to a gram of end product per ounce if I am correct, 2-3.5%. Getting about 4 gs of instant dab-able product per oz sold me on pressing.
I can’t see myself having enough old cured weed for that, that I would rather use edibles for or just press it and experiment. Manual quartz banger rig was always clean but my puffco bowl gets black quick so it is ok if its a mess to dab rosin from old cured weed. I dispose the puffco bowls quick.
So I probably won’t get into bubble hash. I get my press this weekend and am buying the most fresh weed I can ask for which I think I can get some press able stuff and mess around with the press this weekend. I have a way to go before I have a pound to use just for bubble, heck if I can get a pound at all Id press it.
I don’t know what average return from pressing bubble is but 16gs to go into even less grams of hash rosin, oof, it will be a while before I get into that knowing fresh grown will make great rosin with less labor. Just thinking out loud, could be wrong about a few things. Will update this thread with a post of my first presses this weekend. Going to press like a oz.

I don’t wanna disappoint you guys but flower rosin is alright. Hash rosin is just better.
fresh frozen is the most sought after.

I like quantity over quality. I agree with tommy chong saying nothing smokes better than free weed. I tried it all and just am not wow’d anymore. Just want to be medicated or zooted for next to free. All you can smoke and eat. Ive always had great quality so my idea of decent quality is still great.
I don’t think I will be disappointed because I loved 60% orange pasty live resin over high thc bho, I just did better with it so I think rosin would be similar. Just something rich in cannabinoids amd terpenes.
I could keep my puffco bowl clean if I did medium temp dabs but I just go sesh mode and dab till it is mostly gone to get more out of it in exchange for shorter bowl life but hoping rosin doesn’t turn to tar like if its old cured weed rosin or repress.

Live resin is BHO still.
the other thing with flower rosin is it will not burn /vaporize as cleanly as BHO/hash rosin. It has a lot of fatty lipids in it.
Another thing I noticed with flower rosin is that it presses better when fresh. The older it is the darker and more hard/shatter-like it becomes. Still smokes fine. Just looks prettier when fresher.

Theres live resin that is high in thc and stripped of the cannabinoids and terpenes some to make it more pure, like 95% thc live resin, I was under impression it went through some irritation process to strip it down to more thc content. Correct me if I am wrong I hate to contradict myself but the 60% live resin, when accustomed, was my favorite as high thc wax builds tolerance and gives me a short lived high. Was starter weed just lower in thc?
Not to knock high thc wax, I actually had to go back to it since the 60% pasty live resins were marked up again and do not notice too much a difference but still stands what I said, takes more and short lived. makes 60% seem weaker. Im at like 75-85% thc live resin and some kind of simple high thc bho with lower terpene and cannabinoid content.
About the rig, I figured it would be like that and that is the only thing I am not looking forward to but the lighter more gooey rosins I see pics of being pressed seem like theyd burn just as clean as a messy crumble or other bho variant. That happens to me with bhos too so meh. I can replace bowls more often like I already do. Maybe not vape it to tar.

Just picked up kief and what I was trying to ask for which is fresh bud. I said is it harvest or test date they said harvest. It appears backwards on label. So it is either 1 or 3 months old. I could double check and probably will.
Bothers me not knowing. It is ok, just note to self to look and ask right there. Nasty habbit of driving away not checking before.
I get the stuff in no time! Stay tuned, pressing soon as it is here! Pressing two oz and 4gs kief so I can break in the tighter micron bags right away. My first home grown press will be this space cabinet grow I got lately that is closer to harvest then anything else right now. Experimental grow that might cut early due to soil learning curve.
My 2x2 will yield more but need to bust out the coco and try to yield “about a pound”… No really, about a pound haha. edit It was probably a computer thing, they seemed to know what they were doing but will confirm the harvest date.

And in regards to the live resins, here is a side by side of my favorite paste like live resin and a more diamond like sludge that I was under impression could be irritated to turn into diamonds which have said effect, short lived and builds tolerance a little bit, hard to go back and forth. If any can explain why the 60-75% hits better than the 75-95% bhos, I don’t know why. Figured it was the cannabinoids/terpene to thc ratio.
Interested to see how I like the rosin. Due to all this I was under impression I would love it if I took a day or two to shed some tolerance. Takes a week to fully bring out the 60% live resins.

Live resin and resin are processed the same way as far as I know. The difference is the starting material being freshly harvested and frozen vs dried and cured material. The difference in THC i would assume is because of the different strains. The way the processor does their distillation step may change the final thc percentages and the texture. One could also theoretically be adding distillates (pure thc) to their final product.
Have you ever used a vape pen with 90%+ thc? Those are most likely made with thc distillate. I’ve noticed I’ll develop a tolerance incredibly fast using them.

Ive vaped supposedly 99% but for sure close to it because it is known as chrystalene which I read was an irritation process but I guess it is its own category, I really don’t know much about bho how it is made I just noticed the paste like live resins don’t leave residue on your teeth, it was best of both worlds of weed and wax of a buzz. it is just something I want to call its own category even though it is the same.
That and what you said. I love all wax I am actually loving this live resin diamond sludge, it just has said effects which make it great for wanting to get high instead of medicated. They try to sell that saying at the store often that 7% thc weed can smoke better than 30%. It is true perhaps also with this.
