Larry OG vs. Tahoe OG in Dual Monster Plant System (2nd Scrog)

theres safe ways to use butane for extraction, if you just let it sit over a stove in a pyrex dish and pop the bubbles, you can get some great tasting honey oil. it does however take experience, theres many different tools used for extraction as well. havent tried hexane yet, where can you get some? i might try dry ice hash this year if anything, its easy to get a hold of and theres no harmful chemicals that can be worked into the oil.

I did what you describe 3x in the dish over freshly boiled water each time. No more bubbles at the end... That wouldnt do anything for any oils in the butane. I've heard about sub claiming to have gotten COPD from BHO... Idk........ Seems like something you get from smoking anything long term to me.

Not saying butane is the best ever, just the best ive ever tried or had personally. I saw someone else's Iso hash ant it looks like black tar. Idk how that can be healthier than the almost clear bho...

Amazing. Wow. You can actually see the individual trichomes packed together!

Side note on Vector - I one time extracted some really shitty weed with vector. At the end after 2 big cans of Vector run over 10 grams of weed I ended up with literally enough oil for about 1 hit (told you it was shitty weed). The pan was still totally clear and showed no residue other than the tiny amount of oil, Vector is 5x refined. If you used Ronsoniol for example the glass would be all hazy with residues left form the impurities. Just sayin... Ive done that for whatever its worth.

That looks nice! Can just see trichs oozing off there! Which micron bag is that from? I use an 80 micron screen on the BHO I make

thats mostly 73 micron, i just did another run using dry trim, and got ALOT MORE and much better quality, i'll post some pics when it's all dry, the 2nd batch was full of yellow foam when i got down to the last bit, took ages to wash the bubbles out, and took forever to drain through the 25 micron, but the dry trim using the 25 micron, i seemed to get the nicest quality. i filled up a pump sprayer filled ice and water, which helped wash the green out, i got a really nice product, time will tell on effect, i still believe my honey oil with buds to be the highest quality, but i got about 7 grams of that already, and only went through a few ounces of dry trim with the bubble hash making, so i got heaps left, i'll make a day out of it soon, and make a huuuuge batch!! wouldn't it be great to sit back with a heap of mates and smoke hash through a pipe with a screen!!?? i'm looking forward to that bigtime!

Isn't that pretty? Look at that tender thing.

One of the better fluff nugs.

And check out how the trichs of even my fluff nugs look so much better than the shop Skywalker pictured below. This shop weed (like most shop weed) has been sitting out in the light for ages. That's why the trichs look wispy and degraded.

Another great example of the old, degraded trichs of shop weed. This time Tahoe.

See how the trichs look dull and don't jump out at you? And they want an arm and a leg for this shite. Grow your own. It's worth the effort.

nice job man one thing i will tell ya , see how it came out a bit green? just means ya had it spinning too long and some of the chlorophyl came off the buds as well as some other waxes and stuff. quick runs on the drill or whatever your using maybe 5 min of hard stirring rest then five more and so on for 30 mins too much longer and ya get green looking and green tasting hash. how long ya spin yours for , ya use a drill?

Hm. Interesting.

Hi LJ - Being from the OC I must vote for the Larry There are definitely some killer strains down here from the 80's. I will check around and see what I can find from a couple of old friends.

The trick with hash is to keep everything cold and to not break up the leaves. You just want to knock off the trichs. There is a thread here somewhere where a guy is getting almost clear bubble hash using a little trim at a time and gently stirring it. I think the good stuff is in the 75 micron bag and the 45 micron is mostly broken bits. He freezes his trim fresh without drying and makes the hash right away. This way the leaves do not break as easy. Make sure you use RO water ice.

Dry ice works great but the dust you make is very sticky and you need to keep everything cold! I made the mistake of pulverizing the leaves with the dry ice in my coffee grinder. I put the resulting bits in a ball jar and put the bubble bag over the mouth of the jar and screwed the lid ring on to hold the screen in place over the mouth of the jar and then just shook it over a big (40x30 in.) piece of glass. A fine light green dust came out and I kept repeating this process until I had a nice pile of green dust the size of a cereal bowl. I scraped all of the dust off of the glass (very sticky) and put it in some parchment paper and squeezed it in to a log (I need to get a press). I used too big of a screen (220 micron) and I ground up the leaves too much so I ended up with more green matter than I expected.

Here is what it looked like:



It tastes just like the hash from days of old and gives a nice slow long stone. Smoked a ton over Christmas out of my regular tobacco pipe and I had the best time!

Cheers,
Mo

Co2 hash oil is by far the cleanest I've taste in extractions except for good ole bubble hash

MO'S UPDATE - DAY 67

Hey LJ - Hope you are sleeping well! I completed several chores today including a res change with water only for tonight. I will add nutes tomorrow. I also put the tote on a table and added the screen. I was so tired when I was done I forgot to get pictures with the screen installed. Here are the pics I got.

This is a picture of the clone/top in the clear totes with a light and blue tote on top:



Here is the new cupboard layout without the screen DOH!



Cheers,
Mo

whats COPD? like a disease? and if you dont get bubbles idk what temp your setting it at. theres plenty of things that can cause hash/bho to turn really dark, bho thats cooked too hot can be really dark too. good bho is usually like honey, thats why they call it honey oil.

yeah man, i agree, a bit too green, i used a metal spoon and went like a maniac for 10 minutes, maybe too long, i did another batch before with dry trim, and it came out much nicer, still very dark, but not much green, if any...

pleeeeease say it's better!! but be truthful! i can handle it! i'm still learning. i washed the green out as i was filtering this time, just like matt rize in his video on youtube, i think this time, it will be much better, it smells sweeter already

beautiful Mo i would say up the food a little now ( just my thoughts ), give her a bit of a boost, she will easily be able to handle some more.....it will perk those leaves right up looks sweeeeeet!!!

These things are brilliant. They're perfectly formed to perform their task. The stem acts as a guide and stabilizer for the flat platform that supports the weed. The space between the bulbous glass petals is just wide enough to let air through but keep weed out.

I highly recommend to all glass smokers.

And I seldom use the same screen for more than one bowl. Two bowls tops the rare instances when I do.

beautifl closeup there jin' i have never used those daisy things....i would love an all glass bowl, how long do they work well before you have to clean them? or u just replace with new? i imagine the resin would build up quickly with your insane stickiness

I must say... that looks really cool. Could be a modern art installation. Why not? This is way better than some of the crap I've seen at gallery exhibits. And unlike most modern art pieces, it actually functions and serves a very important purpose.
