That's an amazing yield from an autoflower.
The best I've done is almost 6 oz from a Lemon auto.
Thanks HG. I really wasn't expecting that much but I'm thrilled. She's fluffy but there is a lot of her. And she's more dense than she looks.
For what it's worth, I'm notoriously bad at letting the bud get over dry when it's hanging and I always try to increase the humidity with a leaf or damp paper towel, wrapped in tinfoil. I always get it back to 60 to 65 in the jar and once it's there, I add a humidity pack and store the jar. To date, I haven't been bothered by harshness when smoking.
Good to know. I put two little stems in the bag and they came up to almost 66%! I removed the stems and have them at 63% and slowly coming down. I tumble the Grove bag daily to make sure they're all breathing.
I think that Remo nutes should step up and offer "of the Month" prize packages for Canadian growers. We always miss out on receiving the nute part of the prizes since we can't get Prescription Blend or GeoFlora here. And, since Remo is Canadian, doesn't it make sense?
That stinks. I'm lucky to have all of the above and they're all fantastic. Why don't we have more Canadian
sponsors?
Hi Stone.
I know it's supposed to be lying down more as I use it that way when I'm straining oil. I honestly don't remember if I laid it down or not when I was trying to get rosinearly last year. I will try it again.
I don't ever lay it down for rosin. If I was pressing a big block of hash I may want to lay it down to collect it. For > 14g of flower I've never had the need. I followed
@gwhunran in his journey with the DabPress and use a similar method:
- Cut a standard bag in half. Put 7g of flower in each bottle-style, pre-pressed to as small a puck as possible.
- Pre-heat the press to 175-185f
- Close the plates to the size of the pre-pressed pucks
- Put two 7g bags in the press side-by-side.
- Close the press on the bags to keep them in place
* Start the timer
- Start applying pressure slowly. Go easy and take a minute or more letting everything heat up.
- Apply pressure more firmly. You can keep applying a little bit of pressure every 15 seconds or so, but don't push too hard and blow out the bottle jack (Thanks GW)
- Wait until all the gooey goodness oozes out. It usually takes 3-5 minutes (after the 1 minute warm up).
- Release pressure slowly
- Ease the paper out, remove the pucks and store for tincture/oil
- Cool and collect the rosin. Some will only need to cool at room temperature for a few minutes and can be collected. Others will need some time in the freezer and will still be difficult. Either way a cool plate underneath will help.
I pressed 14g of fresh Green Crack last night but didn't take any pictures
Here are some pictures of the last time I pressed, only I now press two 7g pucks at a time. She was so light and the pucks pre-pressed so small I wasn't expecting much, but she ended up yielding well. And the fresh Emmy rosin is fantastic; fruity leaning toward mango and a kick in the pants! I'm feeling fantastic but can still function, I took a huge 4:20 hit before writing this!
NOTE: Since it's almost 5pm now, 'still function' may be a relative term
I still catch myself wasting a lot of time saving little scraps, as we did when it was much harder to come by. As I sit here with a few jars of big colas.
I didn't find out until several hours later, she was at 51%. I closed the bag and left it overnight, and it didn't go up much. Right now I have a piece of stem from the freezer in the bag trying to get it up to around 60%. Is it too late, is the cure done?
