Sorry for the silly question. Just wondering if I can get my bho to look better. It's dark and gooey. I want it brighter and waxy. I've got about an ounce left that's been sitting for about 6 weeks folded up in parchment paper.

Its been winterized with everclear.
Here's a pic of some of it now and a pic when it was about done evaporating the everclear

I'm lost. Only way I have ever got something like that was quick wash iso doing it all incorrectly. As in no chilling of material or alcohol. Soaking too long and shaking and purging with too much heat. Never had anything bho, let alone winterized look anywhere that dark. Crazy.

Yea it sucks. Not appealing to people. It does a pretty good job for me though. After one hit I usually feel like I need a nap because it a too strong. I gave a free sample, maybe half a gram, to a buddy I recently met. Today he tells me I'm missing a step, it's incomplete, its not wax/crumble. I asked what he recommended and he didn't know of course, but said he'd ask his friend...

This stuff has been winterized and purged for hours at around 110 degrees.

The material used was fine trim and about 15% popcorn buds of decent weed.
I've got two glass tubes that hold about five and a half ozs each, that is if it's not been through the coffee grinder. Using whip it 5x butane, three bottles per tube. I had only put them in the freezer for about thirty minutes prior to blasting. Then blasted on a Pyrex dish at110 degrees ish. Let it sit for an hour until just big bubbles no longer popping. Scraped and mixed with everclear and put in a Pyrex measuring cup. Put in the freezer for over twenty four hours,filtered, then poured into a glass dish. It took a few days for the water to finally evaporate. Then scraped onto parchment paper. Then vac purged for a few hours at 110 degrees. Once it stopped bubbling, and after flipping several times, I have taken it out and its been sitting on a shelf folded up nicely in parchment paper.

Crazy I did the similar except all trim, no vac and heated purge for this and even same butane. Just blasted directly into room temp 200proof Ethanol. Reduced. Froze. Strained. Evaped.Flash on my phone messes up the color. It's all the same batch. Everything looks just like the bottom left container.

That looks nice and shattery. I've made stuff that looks like that, and even made it come out looking like a cookie once. Seems like it always comes out different. The last two times were bigger runs than usual, and both came out sappy. Maybe that had something to do with it?

Press out as thin as possible to let more light through. Sometimes dark oil is just too thick to let light through making it look black.
It's spreads nicely and doesn't get stuck to the parchment paper. The batch I made before this was actually darker and harder to handle.

Its not unusual to see this kind of color with bho. You probably grinded up the material to a powder before running. Its possible to remove discoloration, but you don't really have that much, so it would probably be a better use of time to just make some edibles with it.
