One little convenient thing is that the dehumidifier i run in the flower tent creates enough water that i collect in a 5gal bucket to water all small plants and clones. So im not carrying in that water too at least.

Oh, and @MrSauga , I fed the flowering chem og back at its higher MC dose of 3.6 w/o supplements this morning. She was showing no signs of stress from the previous feed, but I am going to follow your advice and get the straight MC dose up to at least 3.8, probably 4, then carefully add some SC and start her on the gravitron! She is an auto after all, and I'm scared to go all the way up to 5 grams/gal MC for fear of roasting her! We're probably 3-4 weeks at most from finish. Next Wednesday is 50 days in flower for her, and the breeder claims 55-60.
Sounds like a busy day today...git 'er done!
OK, good to hear. Slow is good. Wait to see how she responds as you go along and you can make any corrections as needed.

Nice, but we want a weight!

Lol sound advice @InTheShed ! I was covering the bottom of my silicon mat, for it has the name of a local establishment on it. Should have just cropped it! Lol I'm just a big dummy sometimes. Ill get back with a weight soon!

.46 grams from 3 grams of flower. 15% return, and I know I'm doing something wrong, as I know there is at least another .1gs stuck in the seams of the filter bag.
That's why folks toss the pucks into the freezer, and when they have enough, QWET!

Right on, so just chill the whole bag like I've been doing the parchment? To help make the rosin more brittle? And just fart with it until I've have enough? Lol
I would just toss the pressed pucks in a ziplock in the freezer as you go. For real answers to squishing questions, I would turn to the pros:
Grandpa Likes To Squeeze Stuff: Solventless Extracts, Rosin, Pressed Here!
Solventless Extracts (Rosin) Pressed Here! Hello everyone, and welcome to Grandpa’s squeeze box. I’ve been receiving quite a few emails lately asking me about my extracts; specifically, about solventless, so I thought I would share exactly what I do again so everyone can see. This little...

Cool, I can manage a ziplock into the freezer until I can get a few more answers. I have been reading through a bit of that journal! It's just a wee bit overwhelming trying to find the good parts, with so many pages to wade through.
They really don't mind repeating the same answers over and over, so ask any questions that you want. They don't expect anyone to find the gems buried in there. Same as my journal

@InTheShed will recognize this post, as I posted it over in @Grandpa Tokin 's journal first and I'm copying it here for my own journal.
just did my second nug squishin' today after work. Squished 3gs of cement shoes flower again, same as my first go, but I changed my technique, for pre pressing, and total time on the press. Went for as close to "bottle tech" as I could with my square 1.5x1.5 pre-press. And I prepressed IN the bag.
Plates were at 200f. dunno if I should bump that up or down...
ended up with .55 grams of rosin off the single press of 3gs.
Not super stellar returns at 18.x% . But still a big improvement over the first go of less than .5gs and just under 15%. So almost a full 4% increase in return, and I didn't press the puck a second time.
The color of the rosin is much nicer too. First press almost came out a muddy color, this one is a reddish amber color, hard to tell in the pics I got, sorry about that btw, was in a little bit of a hurry today and forgot to get pics during the process...
I also am curious about squishing some nugs naked, without the bag. Just simply because I know there is a ton still in both bags from both runs. Looks like I get to learn how to do alcohol extractions so I can salvage what's trapped in the pucks!

I remember a few squishers who went naked. @Chris Scorpio comes to mind, but he's been offsite for long time now. Might want to tag Lowrider72 or falstaffo or Brian420pm.
Two squishes will increase your return as well.

I've seen a little bit of @Chris Scorpio 's stuff, none pertaining to rosins or squishing, ill have to dig back. As far as the other people you mentioned, don't think I've crossed paths with them yet unfortunately. So here's to some new
friends!@Lowrider72 @Brian420pm @falstaffo .
@Pennywise i have been starting my way through one of your threads, you too have a ton of great info! I gather that you are quiet busy so any time you ever take time to speak up I listen!
And I hope all is well with @Grandpa Tokin haven't seen any activity out of him on his squishin journal as of late. Lol forward to seeing what input he'll have!
If you see something that i might be able to tweak or do different I hope you all might be able to chime in and ill be looking for your journals and such in my coming free time! When those moments come.
Pressing rosin......I might be too hooked on squishin' already! Bum bum bumm
@West Hippie @BeanTownFan420 sorry I didn't tag you guys earlier. A bad habit of mine is getting myself in a rush, when there's no rush... lol one of the many reasons I smoke ...heh
