Oh I see. Don't think that was me but I get it. Not sure cutting it fine enough for a vape pen is any better than the grinder. But for Js I always use scissors and take my time cutting into the pile until it's every bit as fine as grinder weed. I don't know if it would be a discernible difference in a side by side taste test, but I kind of get off on the ceremony of it.
Oh boys I’m drooling for that line up!! Wish they’d sent me the Prescription Blend package!@Prescription Blend sent me such a mix of nutes! We're looking forward to another big 7 plant grow again in the fall with this one at the BIL's place! Haven't picked out the cultivar yet.
No I never went that route. I'm still LOS from The Rev's True Living Soil book. He's been saying he has a different book coming soon for a while. I'm beginning to believe him.
Yes they are. He writes for Skunk magazine and I read him there too for more tips. He's pretty green. So far every grow I think the soil works better. Compost after compost all the nutrients seem there and revved up! maybe 4 or 5 "seasons" grows have gone by with it. I'm starting to see the soil really shine now! Not this grow but the next should have this soil tuned in the way I want. I made some input mistakes I had to fix.
How many tons of pressure does your press go to at full pressure? I'm considering them and almost bit on one like yours where it's like jacking up a tire. Does it work well? Sure appears to!!Made some carts today.
And is there a How-to on the bottle jack set-up in the thread? I've started to go thru it but haven't made it too far in yet.
The one I have now is a 6 ton. More is better in my opinion. The one I had before was a 20 ton and that was perfect for me. However, I just don’t have the room any longer for a huge press. The 6 ton @DabPress does the job and I’m happy with the performance.
Not really, but the one I have from @DabPress is completely self contained and very easy to setup. In fact, all of their presses come with easy instructions. Let me know if you want more pictures or anything. I can explain how mine works if that helps.
An explanation would be great. This is not something I'm even familiar with, but would love to get some edumification.
Thank you!

That's a beautiful thing! I start 2.8 v for most of it then more to 4 near the end to get it all. You didn't say if you liked the taste. What do you think? Is it giving you a good thump and still have plenty of flavor?Made some carts today.
If I were in your situation I'd consider one that doesn't need two hands. Help me out here as I don't know the depth of your ability to be up on your feet pushing down hard with one hand and holding the press from tipping over with the other. The alternate way to use this press is to lay it on the floor leaned back 45 degrees on its arms pushing down with one hand and pumping with the other. I have the same press as GT. It's a good press. Other presses are easier to use, the ones with a hose to the cylinder for slightly remote pumping, and $$ automatic ones. With the hosed one you may still need to get on top of it to push but that's all you'll have to do.
The 6-ton doesn’t have a PSI gauge. I really make it simple for that press. I make contact with the puck and put quite a bit of pressure…not smashing it all the way down, but hard enough to hold the puck firmly between the plates and a little bit of a smash starting to happen. That’s where I leave it warming up for a full minute. During that time, I check to ensure the pressure hasn’t released and is still firmly holding the puck in place. Then, I start slowly increasing the pressure. I can see when the rosin starts to leak from the puck:
