Thanks, I went to about 1800 PSI at the flower for the last 30 seconds, I don't think it changed the yield though. 2 solid hits on the halo and it's strong, more effecient than the flower. So glad to have rosin again. Think I won't wait for a cure next time around and see if it's still smooth.

I did the above press two days ago with a 6g puck, 3g of BD and 3g of BK. I let the puck heat soak for a minute then did the first press at 170F for 2 1/2 minutes and the second at 210F for the same time. Got a total of 1.2g of rosin between the two presses for around 19% return.
The interesting thing were the consistencies of each press. The first press gave me a sap that needed a cold plate to collect. When I went to collect the second press, it was rock hard and I needed to warm the parchment to collect it. Both samples taste the same and while the 2nd press is a bit darker, they are both pretty dark and very indica stoney. These strains just won't budder up, but it's ok as I will now move on to other strains to try.
Here is some orange hill special smalls, curing in the jar for just over 7 weeks. 61% RH in the jar, 3.5g pre-pressed, then pressed in a 160u filter with ~1200 PSI at the material. Pressed @ 200F for 2 mins. I think I'll bump these temps up as it still budders up but doesn't go to crumble like the church did. Nice orange flavor, not as good as other phenos though. Effects are decent. 13.7% yield I had a press with it yesterday at 15.5% yields, not sure if the tops will break 20% or not, doubtful! Still need to experiment more with temps on this one. Auto-buddering always concerns me there's a lot left in the pucks from the crystallization.
Bruce banger 4g top cola broke down and packed in the 30mm mold then into 160u filter, pressed at 210F for 2 mins with ~1200 PSI at the material. She started to gush out really quickly, color was darker than I had hoped for, thinking the next attempt will be less pressure. Instead of auto-buddering this flowed the whole time, collection was easy, this came out a mix of pull and snap and shatter. Definitely warmed dabber type of material to keep it from breaking and flying. Flower was at 59% RH / 57F. 19.8% yield
I'm not convinced the terpene level in this bud is where it should be. I am not sure if it was from overdrying or genetics. Either way, it still tastes good, the berry comes through but the diesel flavor is more prominent. Good up effect, nice way to start the day.

Nice press @psychonaut! I find it interesting that in considering to lighten the rosin color you first think of adjusting pressure and not temperature. Something for me to consider.
I may also drop the temperature as it's been a couple of weeks since I pressed this variety last, I just want to avoid it from buddering while pressing which the temps tend to dictate. Overall the color doesn't bother me but I wonder if I'm pressing out non-cannabinoids. The flow started out more amber and started to see brown as I maintained the pressure.

I have the 6T unit and always finish the last 30 sec or so by bearing down on the handle and maxing it out. I generally don't tear the parchment, but I wonder now if I'm finishing with so much pressure that it is darkening my rosin or adding more impurities. I go slow and steady through most of the press time, it's just how I finish.
With my next squish I will try ending without bearing down on the press.
Tried some new 120ua bags from ebay, less than US$ 0.50 ea...delivered,
Did a 70C (158f) 5 min total at 2500psi (gauge)max for 1.05g (10.5%),
Same crappy winter mid section buds as my last 50g squish. More of the low temp rosin and the puck that still looks perfect,
Repressed the puck at 95C (203f) and pushed the pressure up to 3000psi (gauge) to see how the bag would go, looks good to me...a further 0.35g,
So the total yield is 1.4g from 10g of less than stellar buds, 14% is still OK as it looks like it will dab well, I will ley you all know how well it cleans up compared to the 160 bags soon.

Did another 10g squish, this time with the 90mic bags,
70C (158f) 5 min total at 2500psi (gauge)max for 1.08g, hmm, starting to blow, I think I should have gone a little slower with adding pressure compared to the 120 and 160 bags,
2nd squueeze on the bag at 95C (203f) and pushed the pressure up to 3000psi (gauge) to see how the bag would go,, it blew so I repacked into another 90mic and repressed again with the same parameters except slower pressure adding but it blew again, not as badly but still a little, another 0.22g for 1.3g (13%) return, even slower next time might negate the blows,
So I thought I would show the different residue from a dab, dish temp 495f (I usually sit on 465 but thought I would bunp it up a bit for the test to cook it a bit more for a single puff) on a fresh 900f burn cleaned SiC Halo, first the 120mic,
About this size,
That was good,
!x qtip end wipe, ready to go again (not much residue on the qtip end, 1x dry wipe only).
I will do the same with the 90 and 160(OG) to show the difference...soon.
Edit,
Did a 10g run with the Dabpress 160mic bag to compare with the new, same deal, 70c, 5 mins, 2500psi, 1.02g,
Followed by 3 mins, 3000psi, 95c, for another 0.34,
So total was 1.36g or 13.6%.
These 6x presses were all from the same Mason jar and the returns all seem about the same, 13 to 14% so it is down to how easy the clean up after dabbing is, but for me, I have just put an offer in for another 250x120mic bags!

Great post @LesPlenty ! 
That rosin looks so clean and yummy.
Curious... why 3 balls in the Halo? Granted I use a larger diameter ball, but I usually find one does the trick in my bangers.

They are 3x different diameters and therefore run 3 different tracks through the rosin as they spin, just my bent head reason!

I use 3 ruby pearls the same size
I find it is smoother than just one
I think it was a just extra surface area rolling around with rosin
That's what I read about all the inserts and balls is surface area
So assuming extra balls do similar
I did try 2 and 4 balls and found 3 the spot
At least 2
Four was too much, too much draw resistance then moving the balls
I used to use 3 in my QB too
I tried using sic, ruby, and a sic/ruby combination
I like all ruby the best

Your amazingly the king of CANNABIS!
Life of BRIAN was about you.
I had to get my dog put down on the 13th so I vaped all my rosin, drank .25 gallon of Jim Beam, a handful of Amitriptyline and Endone over the following 2 days and needless to say I had forgotten to post the pics, better late than never,
This much,
Made this mess,
And the cleanup,

Sorry to hear about your dog mate
:(
My guy is my best mate and comes with me almost everywhere
Feel for you
I hate Endep (amitriptyline) though - that shit is dangerous af and I know a lot of people with bad experience besides when I had it
Doctors hand it out like lollies these days for any number of ailments, scary stuff with little benefits I've found/heard
The rest would have helped you get through nicely though
Sorry again about your loss mate sad news

Sorry about your dog!
Damn......
My dog is my bestie as well... so I also feel your pain Les. I'm so sorry....
My second dog had to be put down on Christmas eve 11 years ago... and there's not a Christmas that has gone by since that I don't get a little misty thinking about him. Not fair that these best friends don't live longer. But god... while they are around, they make life pretty darn spectacular.
I'm glad you had something good to vape. Although nothing is enough in these types of situations.... it looks tasty as.
I'm going to go hug my dog now...
