Thanks Chris , round three just came out !
It looks like rosin in the puck bag . Did I not leave it long enough 5 minutes and 20 seconds.
First time it came out front !
Does anyone think I did enough to try a Bud ?

You want as much material as possible because you will lose some rosin to the filter bag. The bag doesn’t care if you squeeze 3 grams or 15 grams, it’s still going to absorb the same amount of loss. To offset it, squeeze more material actually mean you’ll lose less rosin. Also trim your excess bag material, once your comfortable of course.Thanks Chris , round three just came out !

You’ve got the big pre-mold. So you should be squishing 14 + grams. I’ll just pull it of the main stem and pack the mold.Does anyone think I did enough to try a Bud ?
Your pucks are a lot larger than mine. You need more pressure, probably 3000-4000 PSI. You'll need to play with the temp and pressure a bit to find out what works best for the strain, and puck size.
So I’ll be able to do two pucks , hell yes !
Thanks I’m on it on that bud , let’s see what happens! We are up to 4000 psi . Bubbling out the back. Six minutes right now .

Just wait until you taste it!I’m waiting on mama to get the bong , she just burnt a joint and in no hurry.
You may try without the bags to get the hang of it
I use a pvc coupler to creat a puck. So find something you can pack the weed into that holds like 3-4g

how are you stuffing your bags? That press looked like bag on side...try bottle tech method, search this thread.
Several say higher yield. I agree.

I don't pre-press. Not retired yet. Actually ive tried and am on the fence.
Regardless puck or not, research and try bottle tech.
Another thought, when I first got my press, I took like 3 zips, different temps, different bagging methods, measure yields and got the best method down.

A few pictures from the weekend. Gorilla Zkittles, French Macron and Pink Kush. All very nice but the FM is just incredible. Best flavoured rosin I’ve had so far.

@West Hippie I’m sorry I missed your first squeeze. It appears you got this down quickly. Awesome!
