Thanks again everybody for chiming in to diagnose my poor yields. I tried another press today, with the same strain but using a different bagging technique. This time I used a smaller 160u bag packed bottle tek style. The idea of lower micron makes sense to me per the discussion going on here...
For the folks with the bottle jack presses, can you kindly describe a bit about how much force you have to put in to crank it, and for how long? I'm not sure if I'm a weakling or if something is wrong. Most tutorials I read say to tighten it every 30 seconds or so, not sure if that means one...
Thanks for all the tips everyone. I had read some people saying you shouldn't need to put much force into the jack, so maybe I am under doing it. The shape of the 4-ton is kind of wobbly and awkward when I try to put my full weight into it, maybe I should try to mount it on something. Typically...
Another failed experiment tonight, unfortunately. I am starting to lose hope... used a different strain this time as well as different techniques and still the yield was less than 5%.
Anyone see anything obviously wrong in the pics attached? I tried chottle tek this time, to see if I was losing...
I actually got a hygrometer a few days ago and all looks good as far as humidity goes... That's why I'm especially disappointed because I got some real fresh, sticky and high quality stuff.
I tried pressing a single 1g bud to see if I got a better yield, all the wax stuck to the outside of the...
Any tips for increasing yields, and/or learning the ropes without a hands-on lesson? I've tried to watch videos and follow their techniques, but I'm not sure where I'm going wrong exactly. There's so many factors involved. I'm wondering how I might go about diagnosing what the problem is here
I...

Great looking stuff from both of ya, was the bubble made from fresh material or dried? Would love to start learning but I don't have the room for a grow yet so I can't do fresh frozen.
Think it would be worth turning a QP of dried buds into hash rosin?
The 4 ton bottle jack press just arrived. Amazing that I can order such a specialized product and have it shipped to my front door within 48 hours.
First impressions - it's much smaller than I expected. I was thinking about paying extra for the 10-ton mini press but it was always out of stock...
I just got mine off a Canadian company on Amazon. They didn't have 90u bags and they weren't cheap but I want to try at least a few presses right away. I'm looking to make some really clean rosin so I picked up the 75u for a first test. Even if the yield is lower I think I might prefer that if...
Thanks a lot for the endorsement @CR250M I was wondering what kinds of yields you get and if you can do low temp presses, I read that some small models like Nugsmasher Mini only give terrible yield of 10% or less or burnt rosin because pressure is too weak, is it the case with these small...
Anyone know if the 4t could handle 7g at a time in a puck bottle-tech style?
I'd really like to get into pressing, but the investment for a larger press and the amount of space it takes up is holding me back. Will I regret getting only the 4 ton without a gauge or is that only important for...
Anybody use a glass/quartz carb cap for their t-bucket banger? I'm curious to know what size I need or if anybody has a brand that works, even better.
Also, is there a way to calibrate the PID? I see everybody here talking about 400f dabs but I actually found I need to keep the heat higher than...
Has anyone used this mini press? Any idea if it could make good rosin with 7g pucks or is it a much better move to go for the full setup?
Also will it be available in Canada? https://www.dabpress.com/products/10-ton-rosin-press-mini-dab-machine
hey guys, looking to get the best dab setup for flavor and convenience
hows this system compare to the d-cup, or a regular quartz banger with enail? is this the best option?
for low temp rosin
I'm looking to try the divine tribe, wondering about rig compatibility and the sic dish.
I like the look of the bottomless banger setup, but how do I know if it will work with my rig? I have a bubbler similar to this...
