Cheers man for the info, I'd of thought a 7 gram limit using two pucks will be enough for me personally. As stated before I grow outdoors and anything primo is good to go, anything substandard needs a re think but normally it either goes as it is or gets bubbled away, which again can be pressed if need be.
Thanks to
@psychonaut as well for the brief guide to pressing properly for the first time, from what I can gather it's a balance between heat, pressure and time. Less heat, more time more pressure. More heat, less pressure, less time.
How important is using filters? I've seen a good few videos using no filters as the puck (thanks to the pre mould aswell) stays compact due to pressure administered with no loss of oil from the baggie?
Easy fellow UK bro! I Am in the same boat myself. If the next 5 weeks goes well I should have a very nice harvest. Nothing amazing, but with this weather if it continues the quality and potency will be significantly higher than we have had in any previous years and what we have had has been very good for the circumstances and conditions each and every time.
However looking forwards with my serious plans to press my own rosin, a dream brought within reach by the Fabulous work of
@dabpress.com , besides make or break nature of harvesting first (could be no weed for time to see...OR, a very nice supply for a while), is the quaklty and potency of the outdoor UK product when it comes to pressing rosin and yields.
As you know
@anasrzi last summer was a total wash out in the end we had the Autos sheltered undercover in cold and darkness for weeks on end in later flower. Yet somehow we still got some really good stuff.
the very best of it I would be confident with but with the outdoor Autos the consistency is quite irregular and much more leafy than the top shelf dense nuggets a lot of people are working with for 20% to 30% returns.
So Im thinking 10-15% at best for us what do you reckon? I'm trying to get a better understanding of it but I'm hoping the premise will hold true that you are not actually losing anything or harvesting less from the Bud when you get a lower return because you are still extracting the usable actives present. In other words it should be possible to get the same level of effects and bang for your buck from pressing your herb whatever your yields.
Providing of course that your technique and moisture levels are optimum. And of course that your weed is decent and potent in a psychoactive sense, which mine certainly is even if it is not packed so densely with the full range of cannabinoids etc
Regardless I know I must venture in this Direction and I am very excited about these models and options offered by Roger. His work has given me such a positive focus and peace of mind. Otherwise currently I would be at a complete loss as to what route to take to get a quality, affordable and practical rosin press setup.
All of that angst and intimidation I was feeling looking into this before has completely gone since coming to this thread, largely also due to the excellent insights and assurances from
@psychonaut , (always massively appreciated bro never underestimate how much help you are here too so many
).
Dabpress is the only rosin press I have in my sights now when the time is right and to have this peece of mind that this is all I would need personally and is very viable and affordable without compromise, it's a great feeling and allows me to continue focusing on my health and healing while I make preparations.
So
@anasrzi maybe we will end up being fellow UK Dabpress brothers. In which case we will have to help each other out with tips if needs be. Looking forward guys. C'mon weather, 5 more weeks step one complete!
I love the look of this sturdy bottle jack press. Excited on the mini hydraulic unit with separate pump 
though not as cheaply. You're right, this is likely the more affordable option of the two new units. All the separate pump/cylinder shop presses on the market cost more than their bottle jack counterparts.
This is not a pricing mistake, the competition is just as expensive.
) I almost feel like the dog who feels it must devour its dinner in 10 seconds flat because it seems too good to be true, and before someone else takes it or it spontaneously vaporizes haha! (We had a dog like that, honestly she could have competed at the dog Olympics for the world's fastest eater just incredible!)
