Can i use fresh cannabis buds to press rosin using a heat press?
Why Pressing Rosin From Fresh Bud Is A Bad Idea?
To extract rosin from flower, the flower needs to have a relative humidity between 55% and 62%. (This article has a section on how to achieve the ideal humidity.)
Fresh bud has a much higher humidity level. It contains far too much water. When you press fresh bud, you get a watery mess that’s near impossible to scrape off your parchment paper.
It also smells bad and when trying to dab it, it will sizzle on the nail and have a fresh chlorophyll flavor.

How do I know if my buds are best suited for rosin?
What we are finding is buds that are stored with a relative humidity (RH) of at least 55% but up to 65% produce the best yields, with the better yields at 62 or 65% RH. Buds stored with an RH above 68% are at high risk of growing mold. Once your buds have mold, they are unusable. Please be sure to always store your buds under the proper humidity levels (55-65%) for the safest consumption. If you need to dry your buds out a bit to vaporize, simply take them from the jar for 15 minutes and let it air dry then it is dry enough for fast vaporization.
Check your temperature and turn it down.
Even with the right, fresh material, it’s possible for your rosin to turn black because of the heat of the rosin press machine. So the second thing you should check out is if you are using the right temperature when pressing. The #1 reason Rosin gets black/dark is because of old cannabis material or a too hot pressing temperature. Also when pressing for too long, your rosin will be too long exposed to the heat which could destroy some cannabinoids.
