What is your process?with shatter an oil but it always ends up tasting like corn.. HELP ME PLEASE.......
His process comes from a thread where OP barely provided any pictures of his end product. Also the OP of that thread claims to makes quality BHO, but the pics of the stuff he posted looks like poop soup. So, maybe dude needs to find new Tech, say, something more proven to provide a desirable tasting product. I'm Not trying to be rude, but within the first few pages I saw lack of competency and quality of product from the methods derived from the Oakley thread... I tend not to follow techniques from folks who post poop soup calling it quality... I don't know about you...What is your process?
ive seen stuff look like that come from my live extracts.. wont shatter. or wax.. but will turn into little brown sugar consistency type stuff. with an amazing smell and taste..
I think it might have to do with the actual trichome head. I feel the color is relative to the trichome phase its in, and the solvent used. More cloudy or Amber, or purple could be really dark too... But ISO and old trim that has degraded is usually always rather dark as well. Chlorophyll leeching too. Lotta factors. I can tell you this though, I consistently don't like the taste of that darker brownish shit, shatter, wax, budder etc. but I do enjoy that dark brown sugar grease that comes from cookie strains when you make ice wax...I've had brite yellow off one strain and brown sugar color off another, indicas that were finished tend to, IME, yield darker oil.
Taste / aroma was always concentrated smells of the flower extracted from.
Going back to my previous post, I expressed my taste for grease. Now, this is something interesting. I harvested a black scout plant, made ice wax which was brown sugar color and full melt in 3 bags 38u, 70u, 120u, also made shatter out of some, and my shatter was piss golden (for lack of a better word) but the ice wax was brown sugar color. Maybe a little contamination or plant debris? It's a wonder, to say the least...As has been noted, amber trichomes make a darker extract than clear trichomes.
In older desiccated material, where there is no moisture to freeze and lock things in place, both green and degenerated brown chlorophyll byproducts can also come along for the ride, as can other plant pigments.
I've gotten the lightest colors and even almost colorless transparent concentrates from young sativas extracted fresh frozen. IE:Skywalker
