I've got some buds laying around for a couple months from a bad batch (a gift from a friend who had a bad harvest) that I'm not going to release to my patients. They have just been sitting there.

I was wondering if these buds can be used to get decent oil? Was wondering if butane leeches the unflushed nutes from the flowers and if it would make the oil harsh? If anyone have personal experience from this please let me know :) thanks! just wanna get some input before I waste time extracting and purging this stuff.

If you got low grade starting material then you are most likely to yield low grade oil. When you say it's a bad batch what exactly do you mean?

Yup. You get out what you put in. i'd suggest maybe running a couple of cans just for shits and giggles, but making some bubble hash from the rest, or even easier yet, dry ice hash. Super easy. You can do a lot with the keif dry ice hash, like make coconut canna-caps, recipe in the cooking section. They are fantastic.

you won't yield low-grade oil with poor buds. Just less of it. However, if you are going to attempt this, safety first. I make mine in the middle of a field and walk away until it's evaporated off.

it isnt low grade material, the stuff is coated in trichs, but my buddy didn't flush these buds so they smoke pretty harsh. was hoping I could purge them with butane and leave the nutrients behind in the extractor.

Run that shit! Grow some more. Come on already. I got my dabber ready, all ready!

You are correct. Top notch oil, just not much of it. Make you some lemonade hommie! Better luck next batch.

thanks for the help guys but my main question still hasn't been addressed:

the buds I want to use to make oil were never flushed properly and are full of nutes. if I decide to extract these buds, will the nute taste transfer to the oil?

I thought it was. You can and should make bho. How much harshness will be taken, you will have to let us know. I think flavors are enhanced, not necessarily filtered out. It's your best bet, IMO.

First lol at "flushing" concept, that's still a good one. But no is the answer. The "nute" flavor won't get purged into the hash.

I love bho. Last time I made some, I had a mate over for a long weekend. He looked gutted when I showed him the small, marble sized ball I had to last us the 3 days. He went home saying he'd never been so wrecked in his life!

hey peyote, are you saying I don't need to flush? I always thought that you had to flush when using synthetics
Its a cold extraction. The trichromes/crystals freeze and break off, from the cold butane. The reason you use the butane is for snapping the trichs off. Once you purge it there is only trich. left. "So whipped it up!"

You flush plants if people are smoking the raw buds. Trichromes don't up take nutes. only the plant. So when you burn a bud your only getting high off like 2 to 26 percent of what your inhaling. The reason for flushing is so you have a nice smooth taste and smoke experience of the other 98/74 % of raw plant material or the portion of bud you smoke that has no psychoactive effect/ the part that doesn't get you stoned! :lol:

I can only guess you saw this on the "Onion" news, because i have not seen such blatant malarkey positioned as fact in quite a while. You should be just reading these forums and posting nothing more than questions.

Do you think all of the THC is in the trichs?
