The lights just went out so I could not get a loupe on the buds, but a quick rub of a leaf produced a big lemon odor.

Nice one westy me old mucka. I'm on an extraction hype at the minute. I've doin a bit of dry sift, some bubble hash, oils made with butane and then I made budder out of some of that oil. Now that I've seen your finished product I defo want a go at that.
Few questions tho. Do you know the trim-alcohol ratio? And how long do you soak for?
Looks like some pure evil shit!!!..... In a good way of course

I was going to make hash this week but with the oil talk, I'm reconsidering lol. Not sure if I have the patience to wait two or three weeks if I go the alchohol route though. Got another harvest of about a half lb coming up in a couple of days so I think that trim will get soaked! Purple 10 and BB. Yupper that's what I'll do

From what I have been told you don't really need to soak anything in alcohol for more than 3 days. By then all of the resin should be off of the plant and the material can be strained out. Now I cant confirm that, just sharing what I have been told. When I make oil I plan on using butane. Much cleaner. Water is polar and butane is non polar. Alcohol contains water which will break down the chlorophyll which is why alcohol made oil is black or green instead of amber or honey colored. Butane is non polar so it will only break down the resins in and on the plant, and when purged properly you are only smoking cannabis resins and not cannabis plant material. Don't get me wrong nothing against alcohol made oils. Wish I had some, hell I might take the tiny bit of trim from my autos and make some up with some 90% rubbing alcohol or what I can find. Just to try the method out. Its not like smoking chlorophyll is bad, we do it every time we smoke some bud.
cream of the crop top brick off the chimeny stack. Im gonna do some more tonight well start the prosses of makinjg the oil.

I have a jar that I put together Saturday-3 days ago and will distill tonight and see what it yields.
I've always used a longer time because that was how I was taught in the '70's.
I'm never too old to learn-or try

I poured it thru a 100 micron bag and squeezed it by hand to wring as much dark green goodness as possible and my hand was well coated with a stickiness...I'll double boil shortly and we shall see.
