Trial and error , you never know if you don’t try . I stick with the 2 to 2-1/2 minutes at 190* and have never been over 5000 psi . I throw my pucks in a jar and when I do Grandpa Tokin’s oil thread for my sugar leaves add the pucks to make shatter . I felt cooking too long takes away from the high .Ok...before I go update my journal. I'll leave some info here that I won't leave there.
Pressed some GSC from my outdoor plant that I harvested at 52 days. Some pics of how they looked out of the bag and into jars. Then trimmed up before the press.
Pressed at 190° for 40 sec with minimal pressure. Then 3 minutes with too much pressure. Oops.
It is still not cured so I still got a hint of that uncured/grassy taste. Very mild but not preferred. I hope that disappears after a full proper cure.
Ok...how do I avoid getting a bunch of flower stuck to these molds?!
Brings us to 9.3% return. At least it's not 8%!
After settling on the press plate while it cools. Sweet!
It does not have a strong terp profile or flavor. Not sure if that is because of where it is in the cure or if it is environmental influences on the plant. It is a mellow, pleasant, and uplifting experience. I also didn't take a huge rip so I'm not completely locked into the couch. I'll be giving it a proper rip later this evening.
I dialed the e-nail to 390° so I can try and find the terps. I was able to get a little bit of spice and pine. It had an ever so sweet earthy aroma. Not much...but that's what my brain brought forward.
Thanks Hippie! That's why I'm only pressing little amounts right now. Trial and error! I don't have a way to measure pressure with my unit. Compared to the first time I tried the GSC pressed, it is smoother. So it seems safe to assume the cure is working and it's getting better. Also, I can choose to cure the rosin too right? I have a hot plate I wad going to utilize to try and make diamonds and whatever else I can experiment with.Trial and error , you never know if you don’t try .

I wished @Northern Hydro was back , she’d have the answers to all of your questions.Thanks Hippie! That's why I'm only pressing little amounts right now. Trial and error!

But how does that flash frozen live resin stuff come out so flavorful?! They capture the plants pure essence in that moment. And we are simply trying to get a portion of that through the dry and cure process. Makes me think it would be worth figuring out how to accomplish that without investing into it.
No...as in getting further development from the rosin itself. As it evaporates, it concentrates.I wished @Northern Hydro was back , she’d have the answers to all of your questions.
Do you mean decarb the rosin ?
Sorry I’m one of those that once I squeeze it gets put in the silicon cups and decarb in the oven (240 degrees) and on to the capsules .No...as in getting further development from the rosin itself. As it evaporates, it concentrates.
Ohhh...I forgot to mention! I was able to pick up one of those hot plate magnet stirrer units. I want to try and make some vape cartridges too.
I would be able to use this machine to decarb the rosin should I have the need.
I'm glad you mentioned this. I too would like to incorporate the capsules since I don't want to always smoke. I am curious about the quantity and potency. Do you dilute your oil in any way before going into capsules?Sorry I’m one of those that once I squeeze it gets put in the silicon cups and decarb in the oven (240 degrees) and on to the capsules .
I use the magnetic stirrer for mixing the cco and the rosin , no heat needed . Helps cool it to put in the capsules .
Hadn’t seen anyone decarb with a hot plate yet .
The capsules save what lungs I have left . I use the stirrer just to keep it mixed , had some knock my ass out and some mild ones in one batch .I'm glad you mentioned this.

cco?
I'll have to find the video but it was a while ago. Ran the stirrer at 225 I believe for an hour. He diluted it down though. I can't remember what it was. It wasn't regular coconut oil either. It seemed thicker.

LOVE IT!!! I gotcha. That's basically what I have been doing so far. No other choice really. So far, I am consistently using too much pressure. Especially with trying it with no bag. Seems to make sense to me that without the resistance of a bag, it would require less pressure on straight flower. I didn't really equate that. Just had another few puffs off that GSC and all I can say is I am looking forward to smashing the hell out of this plant when that time comes. She's going to be dripping!!!You have your tactile sense of where your press feels like it is taking up slack, tightening up on stuff, or getting to its limit. Listen to that stuff. It’s repeatable.

Great looking smoosh. Mind sharing details about the variety, weight, and return? How about the flavor? I know we chatted about it before but I still get a little bit of a planty and herbaceous finish to the test buds I have tried that haven't fully cured. I did read something that said to back off the pressure quite a bit for fresher material.
% return is a lie when it comes to reporting rosin results.. as the water content can rig those numbers dramatically ..Great looking smoosh.

I jar it and I save that extra gue for here% return is a lie when it comes to reporting rosin results.. as the water content can rig those numbers dramatically ..
was 14.xx grams and yield 1.94 gra.. about 13.75% .. slow bring up pressure .. about 6500 at very end
at 1 min up to 2000 at 2 mins at 5000 last 20 seconds 6500.. 2.30 to 2.45 mins.. 195 f temp and dab press
120 micron rosin bag.. use rosin bags.. think the 90 gives a better taste over 120 dont know how much u lose..
depends how stoned i am at the time to .. lol
i should try west's 5500 max.. but i want more gue!!!

a bit dried out and a bit of brittle 7 week s in the jar.. with 62 humid packs ..
pressing 9 %...
What is your fridge set at?! Mine seems to be drying these very slowly. Like I said, I'm guessing a week before I get anywhere near the low 60% for these.Another 12 hrs in a paper bag in the fridge (for me) and those buds will be in the zone.
