Bittersweet I found out how to yield 20% but that means my last two harvests I threw away 200gs altogether. Like I said you dont just see all the hash in the bud trimmer but its some how there and gone. Hash being magical like that.
It may not be the same for all strains or maybe? In theory it makes your smoke less potent too significantly. My buds I chopped and pressed were CAKED.
What sucks is that the trimmer didnt even do much and wasnt needed. Just wasting a good leaf to calyx ratio plant that could be hand trimmed as fast as you can pull them out the tent. Feel me? lol those strains are a beaut.
Just whining for nothing as if its for smoke ya get closer to the bud or even remove all leafs at the base. If for smoke you can trim up a years worth just dont whine about it lol. For hash these hash strains typically are easier to trim so ya.
Im looking forward to it Im experimenting just trimming bare minimal and maybe getting extra hash from the sugar leafs. I dont believe weed soaks hash it squishes out, Ive never seen a loss of percentage other than bud trimmer bud.
Whats funny is thats not consistent yet I got consistent rosin yield, 12%. What did happen though was my drysift was unpredictable and so was the rosin yield from that. What relates is the fact hash being magical abra cadabra in that sense too.
So I look at a pile of sift as rosin hash thats subject to vaporizing away somehow like its a special volitile substance. It behaves so funny injuction with terps. So Id press it so its locked in, pure meds that cant suddenly disapate. What makes me say? Well I could split it in two and press the rest later and indeed already have.
I lost rosin. Anyway back to what Im sayin. I dont see this said anywhere its cool like Im on to something with my little bedroom grow in persuit of hash. My discoverys to my self maybe its a secret but weed is love and sharing/healing and fun.

Cruuuuude oillll. One was right saying a bag isnt even needed. Hell I never seen this but I know someone out there does this. Im gonna try centering 20gs maybe even a fucking oz. No bag raw dog baby. Bags are a scam.

Damn that sound nice but the pre mold compresses 20gs in 5g pucks I always felt that was the max load with my press. Or else weed just spits out the sides which can wick rosin and hard to seperate but then again if its saucy enough you could wipe it off.
The bags keep it together though steal some rosin. It could work if I got a rectangle premold ooo Im considering it. People do thag just with bags which is waaay too much money in bags. Chottle or nothin!

Alright my rambles are going somewhere. 3x6” premold rectangle for my 4x7” platen. 28.66gs capacity but more efficient and added capacity. No more bags its rawdawg indeed muahaha. Not to be gross but I already said it. We’re having fun here!
So my old method yall been seein of 4 two inch diameter sleeves with 5gs in each totaling 20gs. Much extra work prepressing 4x and cutting/fitting sleeves on pucks just to be 8gs short of an oz making things go longer.
A 2” circle only has 3.14” squared so only like 12.56” squared surface area. Cant fit any more or its too tall a puck and splits apart which can suck if the rosin is shatter like. Hard to remove unless its saucy enough which it was last time.
Anyway I got 1.59gs per square inch so with my new method 3”x6” being 18 square inches that totals to 28.66gs per press. Much easier too and if the rosin is nice and saucy or saucy enough, collect is a breeze where as it was very tough and shattery and hard to collect taking more force/energy.
My theory is if Im losing half the yield and only harvesting the harsher side of the overall yield by losing those super rich heads, its just half the product. The pure rich hash by hand trimming dilutes it to a overall live resin like goop that just scrapes right off the paper.
That makes things which alreader were twice as great, to being that much easeful per harvest which was killin me. I bet this will work out, Ive been pressin a while. All my knowledge is in this thread which would take days to read.

Its mine, 4/7” is actually what I needed. Should fit an easy oz or more I didnt even calculate it its more than what I wanted. 3.5” to 6.5” I dont think I need a whole inch of slack because I do 4”x4” and my platen 4”x7” so it somehow got by most the time with out spewing out the sides.
So a half inch slack should be good it wont be too tall so yea. Awesome day in the garden today. Harvest should be a breeze especially now I got that 20%! Officially!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone know where to find sundae driver cannarado genetics? Saw video a guy got 28.5% flower rosin from it. Just said the name not the breeder but from what I can find thats probably the strain I am looking for. Thatd be my highest yielder just considering yield.
