When you say plant matter a few days old and still technically living, you are suggesting to press fairly wet nugs? Do you have a specific # as for moisture level of the nugs? Thanks.

If you press fresh nugs from the plant, it still contains A LOT of moisture, which will fvck up a rosin extract result

No, not fresh fresh, not wet at all per se since moisture is not very good, at least when the product is over 60% rh, that's a danger zone for mold and other problems
The sweet spot is right before the herb is ready for long term storage and before terp and light degradation kicks in, right
Oxidation will also make for less terpy, less fragrant, sticky rosin, so that's ng
The reason they suggested fresher, nearly living plants is because plants can stay alive for multiple days and continue metabolizing thc-a into thc as well as breaking down and converting more carbs / sugars and chlorophyll (getting more potent and smoother at he same time)
It's still important to get the herb down into ideal rh zone tho.
The whole point is to get a higher quality product so i admit, there is definitely room to press too early, or too late
My boys have done extensive testing on the h frame from ER I and we agree with the owners..
Plants harvested a couple weeks early, especially sativa doms ran in high kelp mixes, or regimes that promote mad expression, and allowed to metabolize just until in that sweet rh spot , are producing the prettiest, clearest, most smelliest (like crazy ass Kush, surprisingly ) expansive, mind-fuckin, pungent product
But watch the vids, they back up what I'm saying in the middle of video number 2 I believe
I wouldn't want y'all pressing water into your rosin

Thanks for taking the time to clarify DonTesla.
Which lowtemp plates should I buy for my 20t. Mostly bud pressing. 3X5 or 4X7?

How many grams you looking to press ? At a time.. Are u building one?!
As many as I can. HF 20T press. I would like the 4X7 if it does as good a job as the 3X5.How many grams you looking to press ? At a time.. Are u building one?!
They were on sale for $199. I renewed my fast track membership for $30 and got it for $155.
$499 for the plates They're on the way.

You got one of those things huh? I heard they are made locally around where I live.
Do you squish flower like they show in their #4 video shows? Do you do 2oz. pucks also?
Just curious on the yields and quality of it before I buy.
