Nice press is that all automated just set temperature and time and press start?

I don’t think it’s automated besides temps, just watched a few videos this morn on it. I’ll prob be in your ear this weekend @Hogmaster and @Willd for some tips if I have trouble seems pretty self explanatory. I do have a quick question when making pucks are you breaking up flower or grinding it to make puck or is it buds compressed?

Don’t grind it up but do make pucks

I plan on doing 3g pucks pressing 3x total. Then using pucks for edibles would they the pucks still need decarbd? Am I on right path?

You’ll be able to press you pucks a few times so each one probably press 3 more times each I let them set over night then press the next day @Midwestnewbie

Is there a rule of thumb for how long you press for? I know every strain is different the way it presses but what are the ques to show you that you are pressing for to long or heat is too high?

So say white widow pressed good at 155 degrees for 2 minutes but critical mass don’t like that and comes out a translucent green color.

no run of thumb on times @ThcinKC
I personally press until I don’t see anymore action coming from the plates @ThcinKC
I will press up to 15 min if I still see results
When pressing a new strain I will make test pucks and play with my temps starting low and working up 5 degrees at a time until I find the sweet spot for a given strain

I ordered a Kind Pen Storm and Dream. (There is a 40% off orders at the moment so I got the Dream also for about the same price as the Storm by itself). I just tested the Storm and it worked GREAT!
Thanks for sharing on this one. btw the coupon code was easy to Google. SAVE40 was the code.
Made a press with a 12 Ton H frame. Was easy to do, but a lot of steps to get it drilled, assembled and wired up. Fun though and love the results

The Dream is great also. I liked the Storm, but thought it would be a pain to travel with so hence the Kind Pen Dream. :slight_smile:

@Ricwil82 make me one of these please :slight_smile:
