I get it as hot as the tap can get it. I think thats around 110F. so the butane/oil is that temp right off the bat. but between the ice cold ground im putting the dish onto, and the ice cold butane dish in putting in there. doesnt take long to let off those BTUs and cool that water quickly!! that water id imagine drops at like 1 degree per second, not too sure where it stops at. maybe you guys can point your temp gun at your water?

lately, i have used no heat, i just spray, i get about 1/2 an in of a butane pool, i then place that directly under a high speed fan.. my surrounding temps are usually in the lower 60s...

I have tried hot water baths ranging from 80F-150F.. all it doe is speed it up, i never let my actual oil reach a higer temp than 80F..

.. i just ran 12 oz.. i was able to fan dry the tane off and ready for vacuum withing 30 minutes, oil was about 60F before vacuum.. ...

basically, just focus on little or no heat initially. thats the best advice so you get your muffin.. oncc you get muffin, that is when you apply real heat..

So I'm about to do some runs with LCOG bud about 4wks from harvest, but i feel it should come out pretty light colored still. How long from harvest was your last SCB blast?

if you store your material properly, it should keep its nice color.. i did no with mine..

If it's a small enough plant, like 1-2oz, sometimes it doesn't even make it into a jar before it's used up. 75% of each plant goes to concentrate.

This is random, but i just did a quick yield/watt calculation. At my highest efficiency i'm running about .55g/watt. If i'm doing it correctly, I'm running about 1400w total and could harvest 20oz every 12wks if i put some more time into keeping plants more consistently sized. And if i always had more plants cloned and in veg than i really need then i can make sure my flower room is always packed.

im pretty much on the same route.. i noticed though.. my last harvest, bho run, my bho smelled like wet plant still! i think a decent/qucik dry and cure help in the final outcome..


i cut down a zip recently.. dried for 4 days. now ive placed into a jar with the lid cracked..


ive yet to come up with the optimal drying cycle.. but i got this perpetual shit happening. so im going to be experimenting with a few different tweaks, one day i will share my best discoveries :]


i like turning most my crop to bho, I have smoked manyyy great flowers, and there is a nice abundance of great work around my town..


i would love to be able to show off a prime flower one day, and also have an oil that just wreaks my strain..


my friends seem to like the stuff though.. i dont know if im a tough judge, or if others just appreciate all weed.. lolll..


but over the weekend on the camping trip, i took a pretty goooood TRIP... usually when i am at that level.. my mind is pretty much engulfed in marijuana thoughts and ganja kingdoms..


(deep in the dark woods) I had one moment where i could visualize how a a light penetrates canopy levels.. all the individuals around me, we acted as the canopy level, and every time we moved, shifted, i could see the light break its way through..




All i could think about was how can we optimize the light, ( i think i was mostly thinking about indoor lighting) we(I) waste soo much light/energy/time with the unsused footprints of the light.. if im gonna be using all this energy, i want it to be fully used.. All those open spaces are potential ...


I also had a pretty dissapointing moment when i looked at MY weed.. usually, i am just blown away by how beatiful the plant is.. ( its always been someone elses tree) but this time, i felt like i was looking at glorified dirt :[ .. i held about an 8th in my hand, and in disgust, crumbled it up and threw it across the air.... my buddies thought i was crazy, i was just mad.. ( i ended up getting home, and blasting all my nugs affter this).. im tough when it comes to my own produced work.. bho was all that harvest seemd to be good for anyway :/




BUT ya, blaahh blaahhh blahh,


I love taking the best out of my trips :]


Im on a determined road to perfection :]

Edit: thread is open for bho, marijuana prep for bho, and memorable trip discussions :p

I'd say vacpurge and 650 probably have some fun stories..
bUt! I wonder what kind of things fadedawg has dipped into :)

but that is my way, im pretty sure 650 gets his oil to the 100s before vacuum..

that may be possible for some strains.. but for testing purposes.. leave heat low until you know your products lmiits!

Alright guys...I'm out the door to perform a run with 27.5g of LCOG bud and another separate run with I would guess 35gs of sugar leaves I forgot to weigh before I packed the jar. But I'm only doing the buds at the moment due to I ran out of parchment paper. I'll to the sugar leaves tomorrow. I'm soaking for ten min then check clarity. Its slightly warmer than usual 50F and dropping. I'm not sure yet how long I'll soak. I packed the jar pretty tight this time for a test to utilize my butane better. I'll be updating with pics soon!!!!

Ya I def sounds likes it's a good idea to wait until it's not smellin or tastin green.

I'm trying to transition from burning mainly nug to mainly concentrate(BHO most of the time for mow) to save on my lungs a little bit. I tried bubble bags a few times and even though i know my technique wasn't great i still didn't get nearly the yield i wanted or was hearing about. I moved on to Dry Ice Hash and was astonished at the results with little effort, not to mention it's ready to use right away. I've tried QWIso 4 or 5 times and because I can only get 91%iso around here and I was going to have to purchase online anyways, it seemed like it was an opportunity to give BHO a go. I'm having a lot of fun with it so i'm going to continue!

There's a decent amount of good herb around here but I have just never been able to make a solid steady connection till recently, but at that time i was finally getting my own crops so i didn't need him and was saving a lot of money. It's hard to say how I compete with others. Of course I prefer my own, but my friends stuff is still dank for sure just a darker bud and heavier high. So to each his own. Everybody who stops buy and burn my stuff always gets so ripped after a few hits they turn it down, but they are usually very low tolerance. I brother-in-law is 27 and has burned for a long time; he said my Trainwreck was very good and had a nice grapefruit hint but way too dense for his liking.
So I'm happy with my shit so far...but I still know there is plenty I can improve on helping my plants live to their full potential.

I know that feeling of disappointment, when consistent and on a roll growin great shit, then it just seems like maybe I totally forgot to boost one plant or some shit and it turns out half-assed fluffy not great trich density. I just feel like i wasted time and money at that point and i'm probably going to end up short on herb. It's not exactly "abundant" here so it's a struggle to find good variety to choose from.

Well i'm going to go grab the honey that should be done with the initial butane purge. It's been 1 hr on a warming pad outside. Outside temp dropped to 47F, the warming pad reads 78F, and of course the butane boiling off was below 0F somewhere but my IRT doesn't go that low.

Be back with pics.

Yep, giving it another shot since I feel it worked ok the first time...I just used 1.5 cans for the 27.5grams of nug. see how the yield turns out. it soaked for 20min, I kept checking the clarity of the butane and it seemed like after ten min it had barely changed color, I don't know if it's a combination of the cold surrounding temp and the very light colored young bud. It should be some very nice yellow-amber.

This jar held most of it, i'd say about an eighth in another jar. putting it on the computer screen makes it look like there's less than there really is, The IRT still read 78F on the warming pad and it was right around 55F in the pan. I'm going to pass out, continue in the morn.

We still get light amber after a 2 hour soak in a thermos, so don't be shy. You might consider a 30 minute soak for bragging rights, followed by another hour and a half for the rest.
