Pressing flower without bags vs with

[Mozzy]

Thanks for the pts. @Frankthetank , and all your good recommendations along the way

Stay away from press club stuff. Only thing decent is the parchment. Price isn't worth the aggravation of blowing out bags constantly

Their Bubble hash washing bags are top notch pricey but worth it IMO no regrets with mine

Got some 120m DP bags and made an attempt bottle-teching 7g of this auto chopped at day 102, and that has been curing at ~63 RH for ~6 mos:

I let the plates warm up to 180f (took ~5m), pressed down to here (barely fit to start) for the first minute:

Then slowly (too slowly) over the next few minutes I squished it more and didn't max out for ~5m but let it go for another 2 because it was flowing still:

Wound up with ~1.2g:

Pressed the puck a 2nd time at 210f for 5m, squishing almost max by feel from the beginning, and got another ~.19:

Put the first press in the fridge and left the 2nd folded up in parchment and in a ramekin with a lid on a table...then pulled out the last of some bagless I pressed last week of this 109 day auto harvested a couple months ago:

I stopped using bags years ago when I came across this little handy device. The hand press mold saves time and money, very easy to use, no plant matter in the finished product, comparable returns and it makes a perfect puck every time.

Thanks @420autoflower , I really appreciate the feedback. Do you press it about the same as you did bagged flower?

Thanks for the points @Mozzy!

Yes… same heat, pressure and amount of time.
