Grandpa Likes To Squeeze Stuff: Solventless Extracts, Rosin, Pressed Here!

Great thread here guys! So i have a nugsmasher mini and ive done i think 2 presses since ive had it. Ive only been able to achieve about 12% return on my amnesia haze. BUT, i did just harvest a jack herer almost 3 weeks ago, and a sour diesel about 2 weeks ago. My sour diesel came out super super airy and leafy. My thought was to message a buddy that knows soooo much more than me and has been extremely helpful. He recommended to either make bubble hash or just press it since i already have a nugsmasher. I am MORE than ok with dedicating the entire harvest to rosin i just have a couple questions.

My first question is with fresh, airy, very leafy buds....which micron bag should i use?
Second question is there anything different or steps i should take to get the most yield out of a very airy product? Thanks SO much for any help yall can give. As soon as i get an answer im gonna start pressing or SQUEEZIN :))

The manual and instructional video are pretty much spot on. Use 160 micron bags for fresh flower, larfy or not.
Don't expect to get the results shown (25% return or more) in the video.
Your results will vary depending on your source material.

Note that my harvests are all destined for the press, so I don't remove the sugar leaves when trimming. It makes for a much shorter stay in trim jail. :cool:
 
Updated the journal today. They are looking lovely.

Did me some squishing today had 3.28g cheese of full spec bubble that i made a few weeks ago that was planed and was ready to press it was just leaf and a lil larf but ya I got 1.71g return and it's pretty terpy and nice too ..I need to get me a diff timer instead of my phone so I can take a video instead of a few pics..I did a 2min press to 1300psi did my 30sec preheat at like 100psi then slowly went to 800 to like 1:15 then up to 1300 til 2min... I also am trying a different way to fold the bag well not a whole lot they are with the rosineer 36um 2x4 bags as they are sewn as a L..pics will explain what I do and so far I haven't had a single blowout also there is barely anything left on the bag as well like in the corners as well there really isn't any and when my mesh and bobbins get here I'm going to work on making a no corner bag and go from there haven't Seen anyone else do it so experiment it will be yessss....
When I pack the bag I will hold or use a paperclip to hold the corners down and then pack the material when they are on the back seam.. also on the open part I leave it a lil longer and fold it like a present but on the 3rd fold I will tuck it into the 4th and last and then I put that inside with the 3rd fold and been doing wonders ..now next time I will make sure i shape it rounder with no corners too esp with the bubble ...I haven't tried this way with flower yet though but will pry tomorrow but will see I have more than enough rosin right now lol however i still need a lil more til I make some sauce n diamonds so I may do that and try it out ...

1. How are you going to be consuming the rosin? Anywhere from 160µ down to 90µ for flower, and will depend on how much of the plant matter, fats, and waxes you want to keep out of your end product. I started with 160 but now mostly use 90. The 120µ bags are a good middle ground between yield and quality.
2. If all you're after is yield and don't mind diminished quality, you can try increasing the temperature, longer presses or a combination of both. Are you familiar with bottle tech? If not check the first couple pages of this thread. If you're smoking it though I'd just aim to get the best quality you can, and not worry about returns. keep it in mind when choosing strains to grow, looking for ones that produce lots of resin.
 
It's quite terptastic and dabbertastic too lol can't wait til I'm squishing my jelly pie I'm currently running however I got over 2mo before it will be ready as they are still in veg but about to get flipped this week Im thinkn too as the veg tent is about to be buldging out the sides here shortly if I keep them in there anylonger however I do it on purpose tho as my veg is 4.5x4.5 with 4 sites and bloom is a 8x4 so 2 plants get a 4x4 so I get them as big as I can and I scrog too so I can have a nice full even scrog net and the plants are very even right now all of them are which is really nice so this crop should be very nice hot fiya

I agree with @Old Salt and @incogn1to I use a 90-160u bag for flower. Bottle tech will normally yield more so consider that as well. Just squish that shit and smile... :rofl:
 
Man, I may have to go to just editables and caps. My COPD is acting up, can't take a dab without coughing my ass off. Pissed I am!

I know what you’re saying. I actually go back and forth often. Edibles are better for you old guys anyway... :rofl:

Oh boy, it's pizza night tonight. Going to break out the OONI and get ready to fire that bitch up.
Thinking Italian Sausage and pepperoni, and a Margarita pizza.
