I am still squishing flower from my outdoor, but I am getting closer to the finish line and I wanted to share what I have learned so far.
1) Patience Patience Patience. Come down too fast and you will have blowouts and bad yield. I tend to put on a looping timer and some netflix. Come down a little bit every 1 minute. After 12-20 minutes I am at full pressure and I will leave it at full pressure for 6 more minutes.
2) Cure your rosin. I had heard that the consistency and flavor of rosin changes during the cure, but I did not realize that uncured rosin, smells kind of cooked even when pressed at a good temp. That cooked flavor goes away pretty quickly and the terps take back over.
3) Don't fill your container all the way up. When consistency of the rosin changes it expands a lot. I found this out when it oozed out of a couple containers.
4) Press hash at a lower temperature than flower, and wait even longer. I honestly should have just looked this up, turns out its common knowledge, but I learned it the hard way and then over compensated and learned the hard way again. I like 190f for flower and 180f for hash.
