Time to make some oil. I've decided to go ahead and make oil out of all the trim off of the Skunk#1. I have the butane I need so I think I'll go ahead and blast all this and save the Iced Grapefruit and Menage a Trois for dry ice hash. I think they'll have a better taste for the dry ice method. I think different strains lend themselves one way or another to different kinds of hash methods. The taste comes out more I think in bubble and dry ice, than in bho. Alot of flavors come out in bho, don't get me wrong, but they're corrupted by the gas I think. I've already ran one 300ml can, and had a pretty nice return. I put the oil in my vacuum over night for about 8 hours to purge it. Much better after purging the oil for at least 6 hours. Some people go nuts with this and do it for 12-24 hours, and I really see no need for that. I just work with the oil for an hour or so, whipping it until it's almost creamy getting out most of the leftover gasses. I then put it in my vacuum, and run it for the the 8 hours to purge out the rest of the gasses. Alot of people will say the whipping will kill flavor, and do this and that to the oils or terpenes, but when it comes to my health I'm getting out all the gas I can. If I wanted good clean taste, and smell I would make dry ice hash. I just want some super strong meds for emergencies or If I want something a little stronger now and then. I know some people are really into weighing all their harvests and all that, but I really don't. Sometimes when I want to keep records or see if I can get a strain to yield heavier I'll keep track, and start writing it all down, but for the most part that's not my bag. I don't sell so I don't worry about what I'm pulling unless like I said it's either the first time I've grown it or am looking to improve upon a yield. I try more to have fun with it than to put heavy expectations on my crops, and their yield. I'm sure I'll get a dried weight just from being curious, but I've yielded over 360 grams dried outside before on a Skunk#1 plant. Before I go I just want to say that I know bho is not the best thing in the world for you, but all the medicine I've taken over the years hasn't done me much good either so I think I'll take my chances as far as that goes. When I make bho I always use the cleanest butane I can get, never ronsonol or anything like that. It's at least 5x refined, and i also purge it, like alot of people don't. I'll post my results later, but i don't have my good camera just the phone. Have a great day everyone. Peace and Love.
