I've actually been looking at some of the closed loop butane extractors, and vacuum ovens.. Pricey but really really nice. Fantastic end product, too.

I have used Frenchys method to press some kief into hash. It was OK. I may go with some bubble bags and a washing machine because of the cost. I prefer a correctly purged solvent extract, though. Best I ever had was a CO2 extract. (That's out of my realm though. Very high price tags on the equipment)

I was hearing about O2 extraction a couple of years ago. CO2 seems to be the one that people are pursuing. This industry will all be factory-driven in the future.

Washing machine is so easy and the product is very clean. I wonder what can be extracted from the wash water. It always smells so amazing!

I have tried fresh, frozen, dried, sun dried...

All produced great product. However my favorite was the fresh!

Curing is for reducing the harshness of the plant material. You do not need to bother with this when you are making hash.
Fresh frozen trim works great. No drying needed. Subzero freezer works best. Then cold alcohol extraction. No chlorophyll. No leftover nutes drawn out either. Purge and done.

I always feed my garden and/or my cannabis in vegetative mode with the waste water of bubblehash.
I've tried to measure the ec and it was around 0.6... one gentle feeding or more depending on how much water you have to use for extracting :mrgreen:

Maybe Frenchy could feed a whole field of ganja with one extract session :lol:

I'm going to invest in co2 next year. Best thing about co2 is you can do moldy bud and it destroys the mold. So I can profit from others loss..... Lol. If you grow outdoors you will have mold sometime. It sucks. I dry it and burn in the fire pit. Then she'd a tear.......

Mold and pests attack weak plants. I try to make the plants happy and healthy. The Mulanje in the compost pile was the healthiest plant I have ever grown. Minimal bugs with only a few patches of bugs on fan leaves. It really sold me on the benefits of compost. Now I need to build a giant bin for making worm compost. I also want to get some rabbits and chickens.

Oh no - not more chores! Maybe I need to hire a helper. Somebody to climb the ladder hehe

I don't think so. 190 proof can remove botytris and pm with sieving through 0.2 micron or a fungacide while plant is still alive. Any other type of mold can't be removed. If co2 could remove mold. You would be able remove mold with your own breath. Not possible. Co2 extracts still have to be refined the same way bho is. It's still a solvent. Imo lower quality than ice wax or hash.

The reality for me is that any concentrates I make are for me and maybe 1 - 3 of my close friends. In the end I will likely do ice water and butane. I can afford to buy a vac chamber or even a vac oven if needed, but only for processing very small quantities. I don't expect or plan on becoming a frenchy or matt rize or crown extracts. But I would like to be able to produce a clean, quality product no matter what method I use.

I just dont like the hazards that come with Butane. I make awesome Qwiso but I really like the ice wax. safe to make and cleans the material of water solubles. Next year I think I need a 20gl washing machine. I have the bags already.

I currently am trying to swap to all led in the next 6 months so other $$ projects with mj will have to wait... LOL!

Hit google and type Frenchy hash. use his pressing method. but if you dont have a machine to extract it use a drill/mixer and bags. then let it cure a long time. or just make butter with it.
No Drill, Just a gentle stir with a big spoon is all that is needed. I actually don't really stir, more of a push the material around. So that everything comes in contact with the ice water. All we are doing is freezing the tip of the trich and breaking it off. Then separating it through the different bags (for a crude explanation)

there's no such thing as 100% clean pure bho. At best 95%. Average is 70% Even when winterized and purged for 5 days in a vac oven. In that can of refined n butane there's benzene, propane propellants, hydrocarbon propellants, propane, cyclopropane dimethylmethane, freon, propylhydride, trimethylene, methylpropane, petroleum, . Fyi those vac chambers with a hand brake. Don't do anything. Water extracts is the cleanest. Keep in mind butane is made from crude oil. You are inhaling all those chemicals into your body.
