Careful..Archie might get jealous!

What up AFN! Anybody tell me if and how I can make rosin from buds just cut? Watch a video last night here on freezing buds and then pressing them. I froze them last night it's been about 22 hours in my freezer is -23 degrees took a bud of felt pretty frozen. I pressed it smelled good sizzled but when I looked at it, it looks kind of watery, the parchment paper is wrinkled there's some water on it. It's out in garage cooling/drying. Will this work, did I do something wrong? If doing it wrong, what or how should I do it? Or do I have to wait for it to dry?

I get the same results with too fresh and wet flower. I think I heard someone once talk about collecting the watery stuff and letting it evaporate off the moisture for a while, but that would take forever without heat so I never tried it. Supposedly the freezing helps, but it didn't for me, either. Just a watery mess after pressing.

Soooo...I always let mine dry and then even cure for a couple days before I'll start pressing some out to see how it does.

I believe some call the fresh freeze and then press "frosin" so might search around for that some on the web to see if you can find a working technique. If you see my old thread somewhere an AFN about it, don't bother...just more watery results. :baked:

Will do, good tip on frosin will see what I find.
 
For what it's worth, I think it's also going to be very strain dependent. Rosin pressing in general works better with some than others, and in all fairness the one(s) I tried making fresh frozen presses with were low rosin yielders even after drying and curing. If I was growing more these days instead of tapering it off, I'd probably give it another go with a strain I'd identified as a good rosin producer.
