I don't do any bag tricks in squishing. I'm making live rosin and I only have a Mini. It's not accurate enough in pressure to processes it further.......and I think ya lose some essential terps. You're not getting the 'essence' of the plant.I use 37 for kief think anything 25-37 is what you want for hash then put that bag in a 120-160.. That’s what I do for kief
Now, I do a little something different in prepping my bags. I'm very consistent in bag weight and surface area. Once filled and hand pressed for size and to flatten(flat style) and even the bag, I do a cold press in my Mini. I think it helps even out the warm up time before heavy pressure is applied.
I've seen flow in less than 30 seconds with pressure just to resistance in the warm up. I give a 1min warm up. When full pressure is applied, it's a flood. Quality is what I'm after, but when I can get quantity too, I'm a happy camper! I think the cold pre-press helps markedly in both areas.
The last hash squish was so beautiful. Very light golden color, that once cooled, was a crumbly, almost crystalline structure. When stirred and cold cured, much of that structure remains. And it's a HAMMER!
edit..................And I'm HAMMERED on it now......with a bit of Knows Candy flower on top uv dat.
Still have 3 one gal bags of Night Owl to shake!
