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

That’s insane! :high-five:
How consistent is that for you? Is that down to the variety do you think or your rig? Or technique perhaps?

I run a dabpress (weren’t they a sponsor?!) ten ton driptech without a gauge. One of the best investments I ever made.

Some cannabis varieties give up more of the sticky stuff than others. I’d be interested what it was you were pressing?

20% for me is amazing. I normally push between 15 and 20.

I’ve hit 26% but it was one week into the jar at 62% Rh . I ran the same four weeks later and only gotten 19% . It was the badass dosidos.

Wow. :cheer:
That dosido does sound badass!

I’ve noticed too that between a week and two in the jar at 62% I get diminishing returns, but I think the better cured tastes better (that was a one-off passing impression anyway).

Gits and shiggles: I was given a (possibly well intended) bag of bud it just gave everyone headaches and nothing more. I thought I’d have a look for anything usefully squishable and it was drier than bones.

You know dosidos is a mix of Girl Scout cookies and OG face-off so your on your way to part of the dosidos. I actually like white widow squished and into capsules with 25% cbd oil added to the mix makes a happy high same mix with the dosidos will keep you comatose for four hours .

Thanks WH that’s good to know.
I have a white widow in veg too. You got me thinking about making premix combos. I :love: me some CBD.
Cheers
 
I'm hoping to go the plate kit and hardware store press route this time. I had the 6 ton dabpress and loved it.I also love pressing white widow. I love the idea of mixing with cbd. Great idea! Super happy to see posts in here can't wait until my first press on a new set up

Granpa Tokin got so high he hitched a ride to Cuba via bottlenose dolphins. Just chilling on the beach pressing stuff and occasionally bench pressing a cuban lady in his neon green speedo. That's just how GT rolls.

Hey Donkey,
Ah, so you and me have the same setup, I don’t really use it anymore as I favor my other press but I get pretty much the same yield regardless of the rig being used. Ya that strain was strawberry banana, with strawberry banana the yield is usually around 23-25% if squished at 190F, the 28.5% was the first time I did that strain at 205F and it increased my yield significantly without compromising quality so I’m thinking 205F on the SB from now on. Blueberry is another great squisher, I regularly get over 25% back with that strain @190F. So far in my experience, I’ve noticed that my indicas tend to yield more then my sativas, not sure why. So I mainly stick to squishing indicas but there’s no rhyme or reason to some varieties of cannabis and how they squish, sometimes bomb looking strains just don’t yield well but for the most part it’s the old rule of thumb: fire in, fire out.

What about pressing rosin makes you think you absolutely need a pressure guage? I have two presses... ones a 10 ton drip tech with psi guage, and the other is a Nugsmasher OG and I can tell you without a doubt the nugsmasher is hands down the all around better product... in my opinion the psi guage is not needed at all. I just pulled a 28.5% return off a 7 gram squish from the nugsmasher @ 205F... it continuously outperforms my other press and it has a LIFE TIME warranty with amazing customer service. Just wanted jump in and ask why you care about the guage so much?
I thought I needed one too when I first started but quickly realized I made a mistake in purchasing that. Oh well live and learn.

I bought a pack locally in Canada and they were all tiny and smashed. 5 out of 5 split in half when soaked. Was able to save one. A good breeder and seedbank is worth their weight in gold. Happy friday

First squish is now behind me, woo! :)

Super Silver Haze from Nirvana Seeds, March 2021 harvest, 58% RH, 14 grams, 10-ton dabpress, 6500 psi, 180F for 5 min, 2.3g return (16%).

Things went really smooth, I could pretty easily get to 6500. Most of the volume was released below that and it seems the bag blowouts happened near the end so maybe 5-6k next time.

Some people fold the bag for a 2nd round, hmmm, or store them for my RSO.

Next time I'll go 10 degrees cooler... I would assume lighter color and a little less yield. I also want to try 62% RH which seems to be the consensus best for pressing instead of 58.

As always, it's a blast comparing variations!
