Iso Extractions by _oakley_

Does it matter and what's best? Covered or uncovered material in the freezer? Should I leave it in zip locks when freezing or in an open container?
 
First of all, props to oakley as you are the sole reason to why I made my account. SWIM's made some ISO but after reading your guide SWIM managed to get rid of A LOT of the clorophyl.

My question now is how does SWIM do it with hash. SWIM always has some high grade hash laying around in spills (kashmi, 00 quality, ketama etc) and figured out a way to filter the tobacco/paper/hair from the hash. Now SWIM would like to attempt your method on hash and wonders if you have any ideas on how to keep the impurities as low as possible. Do you have any good/detailed guides similar to yours on how to make QWISO from hash?

When SWIM was doing QWISO with hash before he dried it, ground it and put it in a jar and shook for 3 mins. After that it was the normal process of coffee filters and drying. I'm going to start reading more than the first post now...maybe what SWIM is looking for is in here.

Thanks in advance.
 
Just finished reading the entire thread. Entertaining at times with the jibber jabber and trolling, but mostly very educational. I have been trying to dial in my iso technique and thank you Oakley for this great resource!

I dont think that the whole someone who isnt me deal is needed here. On most boards its just a technicality. If you really dont want to fess up just say that your friend or cousin or someone is doing all this stuff. writing swim is pretty much saying memememe imho
 
Amazing, Simple, and well worth the read. :hump:
I have the trimmings in the freezer gonna give it a couple days before my ISO is in the freezer with it, then I am going to give this a go.
Will have to do a few things differently but hope their is no end difference.

Thank you oakley for your time and everyone else for their perspective on it, Educational and a adventure!

Will post results when I get finished with it.

you took the words right out of my mouth. it irritated me reading that SWIM bullshit... like who does he think hes fooling???

no cops are watching bud, and if they are, that SWIM bullshit doesnt fool anyone.
 
Oakley thanks for sharing your knowledge I learned a lot from this thread. I couldn't find anything but 91% ISO so I took a 32oz bottle & dumped half a salt shaker in it & shook it up then let it settle. I siphoned off the top 3/4 of the bottle & filtered it through then dumped out the rest. I put the dehydrated ISO back in the bottle & froze it along with a 1/2 oz of chopped up cured bud. I'll give this a try next week but still undecided at this point if I will evap using a heat source or not.
 
nice thread, great info, can't wait to try it out. I went to Fred Myer's today and thought I'd see if I could find 99% ISO. Sure enough, there was plenty of 70%, but no 99%. An older gal who was stocking the shelves noticed me poking around asked if I needed help - I said it looked like they were out of the higher octane. She wrinkled her nose, shook her head, and spat out, "you guys! We get our order in this morning and were fully stocked and now it's all gone. Some people like to use that stuff for cuts and things you know" before stomping off. Pretty rude. I thought, but also kinda funny. It made me wonder who the toolboxes were that cleaned them out that morning that gave it such a bad rep - I didn't know it was so popular.
 
Yea I use Safeway brand stocked at Randall's.. I think $1.18 a pint for 99% ...I usually clear em out and buy a gallon or so each time I go. Just under 10 I think for the gallon equivalent..I love iso, so versatile. I use it all the time
 
i have a few questions and excuse my ignorance please, i am a long time grower,smoker and hash maker and new to this dab ,oil,iso,bho and so on.
1 does the high make a difference by using a product that is mostly cloudy and clear trich's vs mostly amber trich's?

2 can you use fresh greens or does it need to be dried and cured before using to make extracts ???

3 can i run my hash that was made with dry ice? or would i get more back with the plant?

I could keep going but i will stop there.. i tried my first DAB the other day and as far as high i was very impressed but the taste is not really for me because i like the taste of a good bud..so that being said will the taste go with strain or will it depend on the process of extraction? I like the way your working things here oakley sometimes it takes an asshole to get the point across to the people who know it all.. i learn every day at least something even if its useless bullshit its new..

thanks for the info and tutorial on the new age of weed.. KEEP ON GROWIN
 
"1 does the high make a difference by using a product that is mostly cloudy and clear trich's vs mostly amber trich's?"

That should be pretty obvious if your a grower.... "It is known that aseedling through veg plant contains about 2% thc(by weight). In small trichs covering every inch of the plant... in flower the long capitate stalked heads come out.. Yes you can get good (ish) hash off a plant In veg obviously will have a bit more plant waxes from the leaves

The plant contains a genetically predetermined ratio of terpenes and cannbinoids that can be altered slightly through environment but in the same environment its the same throughout the life cycle.. the plant continually metabolizes and excretes inside the trichome head until it begins to sinesce, at which point it stops producing precursory cannabinoids and terps begin to cyclicize alter, oxidize etc as it amber's giving a different smell and altering the high......

it will get less racy however as it turns cloudy and amber...at cloudy you just know the trichs head is maxed out and not going to get bigger. the plant will literally have the exact ratio of thc just less overall with the smaller trichs heads...just more pot forum misinformation.....like seeded bud taking away from trich production lol
I harvest early to have the most thca possible sacrificing a slight amount of weight for overall supreme quality

cbn is largely not psychoactive it takes 9 times the volume to even feel effects compared to what it came from...and its not cbd....what? Not cbd! It does not give couch lock....it causes the messed up high, memory loss and mental confusion..unable to do a basic math problem..it causes the burnt out feeling after smoking all day It does not have the medicinal properties of cbd.....it is not cbd..yes it is somewhat sedative....

It also effects the consistency and texture of your product



"2can you use fresh greens or does it need to be dried and cured before using to make extracts ???"
I prefer fresh frozen......you can still cure your hash oil just as some traditional sieved hash makers do
Keep in mind this effects consistency as well..decarbing, loss of lighter oils, degredation
Break up bud after temps stabilize or risk releasing the goo

"3can i run my hash that was made with dry ice? or would i get more back with the plant?"
Sieved hash in itself is pretty inefficient..like iso, both can extract nasty product..running that hash and freezing the solution for a bit, then filtering...like a winterize I suppose with added filtration really cleans up sieved hash
Qwiso imo is more efficient than sieved if getting the same quality, qwiso can get much better quality than sieved


"tried my first DAB the other day and as far as high i was very impressed but the taste is not really for me because i like the taste of a good bud..so that being said will the taste go with strain or will it depend on the process of extraction?"
Both..qwiso is not something I recommend without reading about it a good bit...it can be black sludge that your not sure you want to even make edibles out of..or it can yield a creamy powder..I'm not talking about shatter and wax....from my experiences, concentrating the flavorful compounds that are literally what give fruit etc its odor and removing the BBQ and waxy nastiness found in flower and bho....really helps .........my extracts are delicious, stinky, etc just like the herb

Anything I missed or didn't do good enough for ya?
Any other questions I may be able to help with?
 
QWISO for the win. I made this over the holiday. It is F@@king BOMB. I washed in a jar for 20 sec then pour through a mesh filter. Pressed out the rest using a plastic baggie. All done in under a minute. Let the solution sit in the freezer till the heads fell to the bottom and then carefully poured it on to my drying dish. I keep the little bits that are left from pouring this way and use them later for edible hash.

QWISO King.. Thanks! I don't think I will be making BHO again. This oil is stellar
