I feel like the color of the oil can hugely depend on the strain and how long it flowered for. Also how old/cured it is. My chocolope oil came out very dark.
The first half of the 161 had a lot of nugs and very light green colored herb the second half was a lot of purple and that oil is much darker.

so what if someone grew some plants just to make oil with them.. and harvested them a little earlier with the sole intention of getting a very very light, almost white colored oil if possible. even if that meant cutting the plant down pre maturely and maybe even sacrificing some THC and whatnot for a very light color. would that work?

well. I think I got the wax mastered.. just takes time is all. I would like to make a very very thick chunk like guzias just recently posted!!! that one is awesome!!!!!!!!! how? I figure if I formed my parchment paper like a cone shaped so the oil puddle isnt thin, its thick. this pictures puck is 2.8 grams (lots of weed chunks in it somehow, I think I remember this one now... had a mishap while spraying :p) BUT, it took a week for this 2.8 gram puck. so if I run this 5 oz bag that I got and make approx 20g of oil... its gonna take months in the chamber!!!!! maybe kick my heat up a bit.

Vacuuming that long doesn't rid the lighter terpenes?

I let my Choco go 11wks for full flavor. I tend to harvest most of my shit on the slightly earlier side and the oil usually comes out light colored.
Just think of how the tricomes get darker as they mature, the color of the oil in the head of the trichrome should resemble the extracted oil imo

it smells delicious (so does my pump oil) and tastes pretty good too. ill pay more attention on the next toke and let ya know.

you figure more heat less time in vacuum? when I crack the lid open after a week, WOW does it ever smell good haha. very strong.

yeah I know...

heres the problem. the extractor hole is kinda reemed out, so the butane nozzle doesnt completely depress. so I use those tips that are in the butane lid.

well, I had the butane, and its cap in the freezer for 3 days so it was very cold and brittle.

I had the extractor flat on bottom of my dish, with the butane can in the extractor with that little attachment that is in the cap so I can fully depress the butane. well it was working fine until I pressed at a slight angle and that frozen tip extender busted making my whole damn set up go crashing down, almost knocking the dish over. my pressurized extractor went for a swim in the dish knocking a bunch of butane out, almost tipping the whole damn dish over, the whole time it was spraying weed chunks out of the intake hole because of the pressure. wasnt a pretty sight. now I remember why I hold the extractor in 1 hand and butane in the other instead of just using 1 hand and balancing it all. I seen a buddy tip over the whole dish of butane once in the grass in the yard, very funny shit hahahahaha.

straight waxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

early plant harvest

67 grams in

3 cans of butane

7 grams out



no crackle! now i wanna try a dab, i bet ya this shit hurts :p

in case you were wondering:

froze butane cans
packed tube pretty tight
sprayed into my new contraption :]



boiled off tane in natural 80F + weather outside, along with a fan, along with a hot tap water underneath pyrex. took a little less than 2 hours until bubbles hardened at about 80F, there was a lot of tane!

vac, achieved muffin no heat
then
first melted down 130F no vac
THEN achieved full vac, adjusted temps to 120F purged about 20 minutes
then dropped heat to 115F set @ 29.3 HG
7 hours later, had a runny like puddle
folded back down to taffy like ball
placed under 125F 29.5 HG
7 hours later had a wax patty, flipped it over and finished purging the bottom, 10 minutes.

that info is clutch. hope yalls enjoys, got some winter work ahead, gonna pretty much shoot for my best run yet. should be getting batches of it out by early next week :] tooooooooooo exciting

soo, along with no crackle, i got to dabs it, no sounds at all :]

all vaporized

smoke report:

i used a very tiny rig, perhaps this contributed to the unusual warm feeling in my mouth

i took a decent dab, held it, did not feel harsh at all.

ii was left with a decent lingering cough though..

andd on top of that, my entire mouth felt warm and basically coated with something.... whether it was resin, or plant waxes, or the small rig + warmer resin smoke, i dunno.. but it felt kinda funny, unusual..

all in all, it was a huge larfy budded outdoor plant. smoke would have been low quality, but it gave us some good stuff :]

one of these days im going to make wax, and absolute from the same material, same time. then compare the two, coming soon!

wow that stuff has a delicious color... now be honest, does it really look like that in real life, or is the flash/lighting giving it a little boost (like my last pictures... the light makes it look yellower)

that looks so good.

ive got 5 ozs and 16 cans here so I got a lot of running to do today... I just dont want to end up with a dark fuckin oil again!! even though this 5oz is months old of saving bottom of the half lb bags.

that looks delicious. how fresh was the bud?

I wonder if it has anything to do with the zero heat that you used to evap the butane... but then you brought it to 130 in the chamber anyways (kinda hot IMO..makes my oil like water, very runny).. so why take 2 hour to evap the tane? why not just throw it into a dish of hot water for 5-10 minss.. then change that water since it will be freezing, and done?


whats that new contraption? looks like an awesome idea! why would you spray through a big screen like that? and let the golden butane puddle in pyrex dish? then what? pour it into another large dish? do you find that you lose lots of golden liquid from transferring it from different containers?

this is its real color mang, thats why i put the neon orange 40 amp fuse next to it, so you could compare. no camera tricks, just illumination.

that looks so good.

its pretty much out of your control. you can only hope its going to be good, the best way to get the lightest color, is to go as thinnnn as possible, on the final purge. make a really flat wafer.

larfy bud came off a an unfinished outdoor plant that was about 1.5 months into flower. dried the plant 6 days, stored in plastic bag 6 days, then blew. 12 days from plant.

i was very busy when i made this, didnt have the time to monitor the boil off, and was in no rush..
But I did did use heat to boil off the tane, "Hot Tap Water" under the pyrex, along with 80F temps, and fan.

the contraption is simple, and it does its job of holding out debris/insects as well.
food strainer +card board + duct tape = my new lid for straight wax runs.
-I line my pyrex with parchment, then add the lid, then spray into parchment.
I lose enough oil in transfer/filters, so i try to avoid those as much as possible.

ah I see, you blow straight into parchment.. that still kinda scares me! ive had everclear soak into the parchment and drip through into the bottom of the dish, what a waste/mess

making it thin for a light color is cheating!! I shouldnt have to. you guys are getting thick ass yellow chunks!! I think its because its 12 days old. whereas some of mine is near a year old!

well heres todays project. 2 ozs of bottom of the bag crumbs. 4 cans of butane. 9.75g return yield from 56 grams. 17.5% yield. (before purge)

this is over a period of 7 minutes. couldnt fully pull to 25.. not enough room. had to deflate to 15" then back to 20-25" my max is 27.5" last few pictures in the set is at full vacuum.. it wouldnt get any bigger than that :)






































after an hour or so:

I lined a dish with everclear.. just a normal food dish. and put that in my vacuum chamber. it pulled and bubbled nicely.. then stopped. and nothing. so I let it sit overnight, and next day while I worked. came back and a bunch dripped through the paper and into the food dish, then kinda evapped.. leaving oil in my food dish damnit. very hard to scrape and a huge mess overall. point is, the everclear dripped through the parchment paper, and that I fucking hate parchment paper still!!!!! I am getting the hang of it.. for all those little random specs? take your dabber, and roll it on those specs.. eventually they all stick to your dabber tip and pull off the paper like a snowball. the dab on the dabber just keeps getting bigger and bigger. tis gotta be dry, sticky, room temp oil and dabber though.

and another side project. ive had lots of time off work lately... lot of rain here! flooding too :(


started with an oz of shake. put it in coffee grinder then in hand grinder, shook it for a minute or so. got 5.5g of very nice crystal. 19.65% return. very similar results to my BHO numbers (17.5% yield) interesting...

it maybe close to the same numbers but the quality of the bho has to blow that stuff out of the water...

ok. so I just ran that 23 grams of raped weed (no crystal on it) and I got 3.0 grams of some very nice looking oil... plus I still got that 5.5 grams of crystal to add into the next special batch of oil which im not too sure what it consists of yet. I got 3 batches on the go.

also. I made that everclear batch with an oz of weed. got a low yield of around 2.5 grams. I re ran that weed a few days later with butane.. it looked very promising. like there was a ton in the dish, very golden. once I evapped it and scrapped it... it looked pretty gross. very green/blackish. damn everclear! never again. butane for life! I get 15-20% yield with butane. 5% with iso/everclear! haha.

ill post pics later in this post.

In a thermos. Poke 3 holes in the top of the thermos, 1 in the middle of the lid for the can of butane and 2 on either side of the first hole so the pressure can escape. Empty a can or 2 of butane into the thermos, the thermos will keep the temps down so the butane remains in its liquid state. Then dump your keif into the thermos, only after you have put all the butane you want into the thermos, do not put butane in after you have put material in the thermos. Then i would place it into the freezer for about 20 mins, after it has soaked take it out of the freezer remove lid and place 3 to 5 coffee filters, the only reason i would suggest so many is because of how fine the material is that you are starting with, with a rubber band around the mouth of the thermos, then flip upside down over a pyrex dish. The temp increase will cause the butane to off gas and force the liquid butane through the filters and onto you pyrex.
