Show us what you're pressing

[scrogster]

Hello people. I have a question about bags for pressing. I just ordered a plate kit from dabpress and I'll hopefully have my press built soon. I'm planning on pressing some dry ice keefe and I don't know what size micron bags I should order. What size bags do you guys use? My press will be 6 ton with 3x5 plates

Thanks for any input

I typically use 160u bags for flower. For bubble hash and kief 37u or 25u and if your pressing hash I would go hotter then 160deg. Any other ?'s feel free to ask bud

Here’s my first attempt with my own flower , Terp Town from Cannorado Genetics
4 grams = 1.12 g so 25% yield on the Nugsmasher mini at 209 degrees for 145 seconds

120 micron mag, forgot to mention that and should have used 160 . Next press’s I’ll do this
Anyone reading this that can recommend tools and paper . I’m having trouble doing anything remotely “ pretty” like some of y’all stuff looks like . I’ve watched videos and believe I need to invest in a cold plate pronto . My stability in my humidity turns the stuff to “ oh shit the stuffs everywhere”
Right now it gets rolled up into a ball and in a container

Smashed some outdoor zkittlez flower turned the heat down to 180deg. Im usually running 210deg. Got some sugary waxy looking oil back mmmmmmm tasty .

How do you get your rosin to this point? Cold plate press? Sorry if this is a stupid question. I have a very basic press / Nugsmasher mini, it gets the job done but I’m having difficulty after the collection part

Amazing squishes bro!!!
What paper are you using, it looks very clean and easy to use.

First press, first squish of flower! DabPress 6 ton.
No bag, just a small amount of bud.
Rocked my world!

Nice the paper is oilslick paper real nice to work with $25 on amozon comes with 250 sheets. Well worth the $$$

Another quick filter-less test.
Turned the temp down to 185 on the 6 ton DabPress this time.
Pressed a quick round puck using about 3 grams of bud, I used Death Butter this time.

Closed the plates till the puck was just touched by the plates and allowed the puck to heat up for 30 seconds.
Press to close plates slowly and steadily, waiting a bit between each press for the oil to settle.
Stopped when it felt right, a bit less that the last time where i split the parchment.
Left it for 2 minutes and then released the pressure and removed the treasure!

Pick up was easy and I used a cold soda can to remove the final blob of rosin.
Transferred to a bit of parchment and pressed to a disc shape.
Had a few more inclusions this time around but still not too concerned with them on press #2.

Nice and heavy effect right behind the eyes and body numbing properties that slow everything down.
Taste is amazing on the Errlectric Concentration Station with the quartz insert.
It leaves this buttery taste and feeling on your tongue, very different.


I need to buy some small glass concentrate containers for storing the rosin in.
Any tips for a Canadian source?

What else can I do with Rosin?
I see some people leave it in the fridge, some heat and whip it all to further cure the rosin.
It is not cured from the bud already?
What would change apart from perhaps it's physical properties?
Surely the chemical properties would stay the same?
Would be great to know and I will do some research!

Here are the pics from tonight!

The rosin just above here was stored in a sealed Mason jar in a dark drawer at room temp for about 4 days.
It turned from the golden yellow to a much darker rosin that is almost more crumble like now.
It was very sappy and could pull for a mile before breaking...LOL
Any ideas why this happened?

It's super smooth and tasty as well.
