@lunarman - I press my buds as soon as they are dry. I was doing a decarb, then pressing, but my yields were half as much so I decarb after pressing. I also decarb my pressed "pucks" to activate for ingestion. For tincture I use 13-15 gr. decarbed bud ( what the Nova/Lift holds) to 8oz. Everclear. After decarb the bud get stuffed into a 250 micron MaxLoom which gets stuffed open end first into a second bag. This way I don't strain or filter nada. The bud goes into a pint mason jar, everclear into another pint mason jar and both into the freezer. After 24hr. I combine and shake vigorously 2 minutes, replace in freezer laying jar on it's side. I do this 4-5 more times throughout the day. Then out of the freezer, I pull the bag up and suspend across mouth of jar with thin metal skewer and let drip dry in a dark cupboard for 1 day. Then I use the Source to reduce to 4oz. In that 4oz. I dissolve 1 gr. decarbed rosin to " kick it up a notch". So every night, one hour before bedtime, 2ml tincture and 1 gram of the stripped material and or pressed "pucks" into a cup of peach yogurt and I have the most restful sleep I've had in years. No sleep apnea, no getting up 4-5 times to urinate, no tossing and turning trying to get comfortable. I wake rested and relaxed with no aches and pains. This has been a game changer for this old fart.
