It's not purple trichomes, it's the chlorophyll. I've never seen purple shatter, only bubble hash and the likes.

It's hard to argue with a High Times science article, but I've blasted tons of bho from a wide variety of purple strains / phenos. Never once was the shatter purple. But I have seen a lot of purple bubble hash that came from the same plants.it is indeed purple trichomes, maby give this article a read it does a better job explaining than i can

you can also press the purple trichomes at lower temp and get purple rosin. yea i know i wish i could make purple shatter tried with the same material and the color just doesnt transfer for some reason

I've produced purple shatter a couple times. Interestingly enough it was green weed that went into the extraction, so when the alcohol came out bright ass purple it was a major surprise. Then once I evapped it and it stayed purple I was more surprised. It tasted just like the plant it came from. It only happened a few times with one specific pheno, and it didn't always happen every batch with every batch, I ran those plants a couple years at least.
Edit: I'm pretty sure there is pictures somewhere in my thread but I wouldn't know where to start looking.

BHO shatter? That's what I'm referring to.

Quick alcohol washed, not bho, but definitely shatter.

I would definitely dab on some of that. But I've blasted roughly a 1/2p of material a month for many years now with wide variety of purple strains, and they have all come out on a scale ranging from golden to amber. That accounts for wax / honey oil / shatter / ect. To my knowledge it doesn't exist. I have seen purple rosin, but rosin isn't as pure as BHO either.

I don't know if you noticed I mentioned it came from a green strain, which I thought was cool.
When it happened I researched it all a bit and found pictures and accounts of others with purple extracts. I really can't say now what types though, it was years ago at this point.

I made open-blast BHO today. The can I used was just some pvc ends and parts glued and duct-taped together. Two coffee filters in the bottom with a dozen holes and one hole in the top screw cap to put the bhutane in.
I did this outside to be on the safe side and ran two bottles of bhutane through it. Here's a pic of it boiling off in my collector dish
With the fan on I double-boilered it to try and get the most bhutane out, which took a while. I kept stiring it with a chopstick to accumulate the bubbles of gas so it would escape.
After I felt most of the bhutane had evaporated off
note my lighter for scale.
Here are a few shots of what I managed to scrape out onto parchment paper. I was pleasantly surprised as the stuff became solid at room temperature.
Finally I collected it into one main glob.
Then I thought it might be a good idea to flatten it into a disc so that any further gas could escape it more easily
What do you guys think? This is my second time ever doing bho. The stuff smells nice which tells me the bhutane I used is fine. Could this be considered low-grade shatter?

Yikes bro. PVC leaches into the hydrocarbon. You don't have a vac chamber. I would just cook that flat till it's decarbed. It's the only way you'll get the butane out without it doing something to ya. Could be a sore throat to lung damage. You could also throw that into everclear which would get rid off all the butane eventually as you evap all the everclear because science is cool like that.
And freeze your tube with the weed in it next time. Comes out a lot cleaner.

thanks, it was a one time test, if I make more I'll probably buy one of those kits off Amazon. For the most part I'll stick to making bubble hash (I've made edibles but not really a fan) BTW yes I had it in the freezer before I blasted.
cheers
