try isoprophylic alcohol heres a method i stole from bctrippin
..........just take your plant material ( I use males, leaves from when I harvest, stems, shake, anything that might have a thrich) put it all in a jar, then pour in 91% isopropyl alchohol, enough to cover all the material ( I have used the 70%, the 91% works better) put on the top and shake for 20-25 seconds, then I strain thru a metal coffee filter( the normal paper ones work, but I bought one for this purpose) I strain it into a glass baking dish. the liquid will be green or maybe brown in color, you can then just let it sit for about 36 hours so the alchohol evaporates, or I personally use my wifes blow dryer,takes about 20 minutes, once all the liquid has evaporated you will be left with a brownish film on the bottom of the dish, use a razor blade to scrape it all up and form it into a ball, and there you have it
or go make honey oil like fdd heres a link to his method

when you harvest your crop and your fingers are covered with all that really sticky thc that is hard to get off, just rub butter onto your fingers then wash with soap. comes right off

goonies rocks. anyways butane is a much better more efective method than alcohol most alcohol that you will find will be dilluted in water which takes forever to evaporate butane is gone in minutes ive made extracts with butane many times definetly the best method so easy.

Please forgive my newbness, but it still looks all too tricky to me. I always thought you let the whole plant hang? The way it is on the string makes it look like it will fall right off.

you can...... ever try to trim buds while they're still attached to the plant ? ... its a bitch
when you hang em by the branch you can just pull a bud out and put it over the rope so it stays........ no trickery involved !

A noob question on drying. Do you have to hang dry in the dark or can it be dried in light? The perfect place for me to dry is in my grow area. The air flow and humidity is right, but I will still have a plant or two needing 12/12 light.

well the reason most dont dry in grow rooms is because the humidity in an optimum grow room is to high to properly dry a plant but it could be done with proper circulation

best way is to string the buds up in say a dark closet or room until the outsides feel dry and crispy after usually 4-5 days for large dense buds and less for smaller buds but it can always be different dense buds will take longer when the center is still moist but crispy and dry on the outside then put them into glass jars over night then sample the smoke if its good then smoke it,keep it in the jar as you smoke, it will cure more,if you can wait cure it for 2-3 weeks then it will really be smooth

Just to add something to this. Check them daily to be sure they are dry and give them fresh air. When it is dry on the outside and still moist on the inside you need time to draw the moisture out of the middle. If there is to much and you don't check them you could get mold.

Light degrades THC. So having them dry in the light is definitely NOT a good idea. Any other place is fine. I use a non-heated bud dryer and paper bags in combination. It takes time to get good at curing. This latest batch is better than my last and for sure better than my very first. Have fun!
