Rosin pressing recommendations and general knowledge

Hey to everyone bought the dab press 10 ton , and was pretty happy with the results with my first press experience but thought I'd come to the experts to see what I could be doing better.
The weed Im pressing I'm not 100 % on the type or strain smelled like a honey when growing and burnt so the press content was minimal but I figured that my, I got seeds from my friend that happens to have some.

So my process was
-I pre pressed a 9 gram puck
Placed it into a 120 micron press bag (later stopped using bags due to noticing a noticable amount rosin/wax/oil caught in the bag)
-I placed the puck into the pre heated plates closing until 1/2 gap for 30 seconds.
-Then pressing to 40 MPa for 1min
Then increase the pressure to 60 MPa for 1min
-after the press I re weighed my puck and I usually lose one gram off original weight my scale isn't the greatest regular kitchen scale.

So to anyone out their give some tips suggestions on what I could or should be doing I see people tote a 30% yield and wanted to know how I could get the best out of my weed.

Thanks in advance!!! Happy smoking

The amount of moisture in the weed is critical to getting good yields. Generally around 65% is where you wanna be. If the weed is too try then you don't get as much out of it.

I much prefer to press bubble hash or kief instead of flower.

Ok so the 62 % humidipacks I've used to store it may have dried it too much I see thank you

What micron size would you reccomended for kief pressing? Do you use the bubble bags to dry sift kief too?
