We have to put the cat food on the table cause of Sky dog and that's why we allow the cats up there to, it's a safety issue.
View attachment 134773View attachment 134774The tomatoes went wild and so did the Cukes, the peppers (Lower left !st pic) not so much.
My pepper plants didn’t grow this year. They are only a few inches bigger then when I planted them. One in each bed so it’s not a location issue. 🤷‍♂️
 
welcome to the world of making your own pure concentrates!!!

how much flower was in that press? ballpark?

in my experience i honestly find the corner tucking silly and way overrated.

i've recently tried Dabpress' bags.. i liked them, they're in my top five of brands to use.

careful though man, it's very easy to spoil yourself!!!! hehe
I believe it was about 5g's give or take one. Next time I'll measure it, I was pretty exciteed but was late to start doing it so just slammed one in there.

Mine were pathatic this year too. So far i got 4 Bell Peppers lol and there are 2 more ready to pick but no flowers left on those plants and one plant that just started to produce a lil late.
Banana Pepper plant is doing ok with multipul peppers on it, wish I grew more of them. Only one pepper plant grew from seed the other 3 we brought. For what I paid for them I could have brought more
peppers at the store than they produced.
 
Could not wait to try again this morning.
Have a bag of garbage from trim, was going to use for ice hash or something.
Now it has a purpose ha I ground it and weight'd out 7 grams and compressed it, put in the bag that came with the press (No idea what micron)
and sqeeessssed it till I couldn't. It did a lil oooze and it was darker too. I did set the plate temps higher @ 190 + 10 for error = 200 degrees,
The dab was better than last time which I used a better grade of garbage weed haha. That's good! Cause I got a big bag of it.
I just now smoked some so I better post pic's or I'll forget.

I want to add that I put the 2 used pucks back into the smasher and got another good goob of dab almost as much as in this pic above.
I asked AI what do I do with the pucks and this is one answer it gave.
It said high heat between 220-240 and do it faster than normal, so I set it at 220 this time.
So far I had a gram and with this added I have over a gram of dab.
My scale only measures whole numbers so I can't tell how much over a gram it is.
I got these cool tools and jars to put the shit in but have no idea what all them dif tools are for lol.
I use the one from the press they sent me but they are pretty nice. 5 jars for storing too.
I'm shocked at how much dab I get from junk weed.

i don't really agree with those temps that AI is giving you.. if i were you i would experiment and play around with the temperature. not telling you what to do but not all press' are made equal and what works for some isn't the best for others. i stay below 180° right now my press is set at 170 for the particular strain i've been pressing for a few weeks.

you're doing nothing wrong i just suggest you experiment and try different recipes. there is always room for improvement when it comes to concentrates.
some of those first episodes of hash church were pure gold on info if they still exist on youtube. those guys invented this stuff and were pioneers at it. i used to get up early on sundays just to watch hash church live!!!

here's some of what i just did on my press a few minutes ago...

i tried out a new bag.. i think these were fifty cents a piece.. i stuffed in a branch of buds very tight. tight like you're trying to stuff an entire large families sleeping bags all in one bag!!! my thumb will end p sticky when i'm done..

now Steamroller is biting his tongue right now but i always cut the top off my bags because they're too long for my smaller plates... 12 grams made it in, i rarely weigh it anymore because what i get is what i get.. just for your info..

010.JPG011.JPG
019.JPG

my battery died right near the end of this video but there is enough there where you can see just how slow i press.. and do as i say and not as i do, i didn't wait for the warm up period. i was testing these new bags so i was hard on it..

my 300lb homemade monster..... artwork came from Bandit!!!

018.JPG

i tried to capture all the important stuff in this video, i tried to be quiet not sure if it picked up the sound of the resin starting to flow..


the end result is the bags are a hard hell yeah pass from me.. held up to almost 2800 pounds before a slight blowout. thats more than i ever press with, again i was being tough on it to test.

030.JPG

so like 12 grams in and like one and half out... as for the leftovers... i like to collect my chips until i have a pile and then i unwrap them and grind up the chips in a pulse blender and then decarb it for a little and use it for edibles. just about a gram or so of left over chips will tear me up something fierce!!!!

032.JPG

so i know you didn't really ask but thats about as detailed as i get about how i go about it. others do it different... i really don't think there's many wrong ways to squish buds!!! if it gets ya high then winner!!! the rest is all relative.. good luck and have FUN!!!!!!!!

Yes, I see a dif when I loaded the lower temp.
I used 170 with junk weed and it came out lighter in color too.
Going to try a better grade weed before going to the primo stuff, I need the practice.
Going to try 160 next but have to cut the lawn first.

I did 170 degrees with the White Truffles that is inferior weed I connot smoke but it did produce a great dab!
Much better, i used 120 micron bag instead of the 90 just to see what it does.
The dab is much cleaner tan looking not blackened like burnt.
Got quite a bit out of 7 grams, 1g dab after the 2nd puck press.
