Looks nice johny!

What technique do you use? I've only used a flatiron with unimpressive results.

My buddy has a 6 ton hydraulic press with digital plates. We did a relitivley long press maybe 20 seconds..but at 108 temp. The colour came out surprisingly clear like I said. My friend and I where woundeing if it was because the flower was pretty fresh....not even two weeks in the jar..she was an ok yeild...about 17%.

We just took the bud and removed all the stems. Then make little bud pattys with a 600lbs clamp ( buddy rigged up a lilttle rectangle mold that works great) before we put it on the press

Good friend to have!

I suppose I'll need to look into a getting a press.

I recently bought a bunch of these to use in veg...
https://www.sunblasterlighting.com/grow-lighting/led-strip-lights/
Let me tell you...they rock big time. Best veg lights I've ever had. They run nice n cool as well. Very little heat generated. The light output is Way above my regular T5's. They say 10%...I say way higher. They are more focused as well..right @Flash63 . I used a light meter and they are much brighter.
Anyway so far the plants are bushier, greener and seem to be doing very well.
12, 18, 24, 36 or 48 inch as well.
I also like the tough design to them. Nice cover over the leds and even if a plant touches the light I see NO burn. All round a winner imo. The Aluminium body of the light acts as a heat sink and you could lick-em they're that cool. Two easy way to mount them included.
They were a breeze to install on my rack shelving.
Highly recommend these.
No I don't work or sell for them...lol..I just like them so far very much.
Sunblaster Website picture below...i use that type racking as well.
