So I could soak that stuff in alcohol, strain it, then cook off the alcohol and it's oil? I have some everclear (not nearly as expensive here) and was thinking about trying it. I have a quart jar of the trim I dry-sifted once that I was going to bubble. May try that instead.

Yes basically that's what you do. Obv there's a few crucial steps that need to be followed, but that's the basic premise

Do you want shatter or actual oil that can be put in syringes?

The method changes a little depending on what final product you want

The easiest thing with the least additives. No, I'm not a dabber, but I pack the occasional cone, and oil would be fun to try.

Handy thing to keep around - roll of 120micron steel mesh.

I have a mason jar, and aside from the lid is has a plastic window screen "lid" and a 120m keif "lid". I put it together to try the dry ice thing, never did.
With a funnel and a few jars though, it could make the whole process a lot less messy. I just cut pieces of the stuff a little big, then screw the lid ring on to hold it.

It's like spending a few months reading a novel, only to find out someone has RIPPED OUT the last few pages! LOL

Well for oil in syringes this is what I did


Froze weed and alcohol

Cover weed with alcohol in jar or bowl

Stir for a minute or 90 secs. any more and too much chlorophyll and waxes gets pulled and it turns green and too sticky

Strain into bowl using kitchen sift

Put material back in container to be washed a second time. Stir and strain

Use coffee filters and strain from bowl into mason jar, this takes time, I used a few jars to speed up process. Once done straining pour all material in whatever bowl or pot or whatever your gonna cook it in.

I used a steel bowl from the kitchen, I used a double boiler method ( pot of boiling water, steel bowl sitting on top) on stove to cook, do it beside a window or range/exhaust

When it starts to boil turn damper down so it don't cook too fast or hot

Once majority of alcohol cooks off transfer from bigger container into small cup or bowl of some sort( easier for final slow cook off)

Place this cup or whatever on a coffee maker or on low heat somewhere, keep it high enough heat to continue boiling off remaining alcohol .

Once it stops bubbling, it's done.

Nice and golden

I have a buddy that is into that stuff big time and have tried a few store-bought dabs and some oil. I think the thing for me is that I stay high, and that is usually "too high" to accomplish anything. Great for zoning out and watching a movie though, so I like having "special occasion" stuff around for company and whatnot. I just think that if I did it all the time my tolerance would be astronomical and I wouldn't enjoy bud any more.

Thanks for the description. Since it's a low heat thing, I have large silicone trays (like brownie tin size) and I could put it in the dehydrator on high.

I have basically done that already but with the alcohol I used to clean my scissors. I didn't filter anything, just used a big syringe to suck the goodies out of the bottom and evaporated that. So it has leafy-bits and pistils in it but it was also gummy. Anyway, I know the dehydrator will work, just slow. My daughter/fiancé and grandson are here, but leaving later today and I want to try this. I'll definitely do pics along the way.

I have everything to do it with and the time, so WTFN.

I did like the guys testing trick in the video with the lighter, but you can also tell by just smelling it. I'm thinking that with a dehydrator it would be hard to go too far with it.

I don't have much everclear though, so I might try both.

How do you store it? I don't mean the container, but do you put it in the fridge? freezer? Leave it on the table because it doesn't matter?

Space cookie update

They are in 7g pots and just exploding in growth, bushing out real nice

They need to be flipped asap, just waiting for the 2 fruit punch to finish up

They are beginning to over crowd the tent, the manifold is also doing well, I expect big kolas from her

Day 69

Fp1 looks to be on her final days, she's swelling nice, hairs are receeding, Calyxes are swelling, I think she will be done within the week

FP3 is super frosty and still looks to be a couple of weeks away from done. This was the plant that had issues a few weeks ago, she's stacking up nice now and has the best smell of the 4 that were in this tent.
