I started doing the 1 min pre press at about 50% and a full press for another 3-5 mins and got a totally different product. Creamy and easier to use. Good luck with the press.Oh ya just realized that post was first first try and it was with garbage weed that wasn’t even trimmed! Sacrificed some buds and a bag so i could try to get a feel for what I needed to do before i stuck good flower in it!
