that's a nice looking consistency . How do you "work" it to achieve that?View attachment 2665146this is usually the consistency of my wax after its been worked and has sat out for a few days.
the jury is out on that i think, and we are on the cusp of the dabs wave. everything that we are doing is more or less all new territory, and yes i know people have been making bho for awhile but to the extent and quality that all of us here are putting out... we are on the cusp. it seems like every time we all start getting into it and getting it down then high times puts out a magazine with what we are doing.but if I take shatter (shatter at room temp) and put it in the vac chamber, which is heated to above room temp (its heat is around 100-140f) it will liquify, just like any other oil and then let the vacuum pull on it for a few days, you think it would maybe wax up? very interesting.
So I usually use two to three cans of butane to an ounce depending on the potency of the material being used. As I'm blasting of course keeping either nice hot water under the dish, which I've never checked the temp of my water and I should but I usually just get it hot to the touch not boiling or anything just enough to make the butane extraction boil off more. Anyways after I have blasted I either put in on my heat mat from my clones or keep it on hot water while whipping/stirring it constantly. Now I know some people say not to whip or stir but as someone said earlier in this thread its like being a chef or a candy maker and you whip and stir taffy and hard candies to get it to an certain consistency, so I feel the same about the wax. After I get tired of whipping or until its not bubbling as much I throw it in the freezer to get it more manageable, then pull out and scrape into small dish and let set out with no top on so it can evaporate the butane even further. Usually any where from day two to day three you will have that up there in the pic. Now I have had other consistency where its a little more play dohy and a bright green/yellow tint, this I think was from to much butane in the extraction.that's a nice looking consistency .

you know, you can winterize your bho fairly easy?View attachment 2665891here's also some capsules I make out of my wax, this is really what I've been using it for cuz of my lungs starting to hurt.

Waiting for a video to upload...but here are some pics of my last LCOG tiny bud/trim winterized bho run. 1.3grams from 18...not exactly an exciting yield but i was going for quality not quantity. Decent amount of wax and fats separated.
I smoked with an older feller this last weekend who said he lived in San Diego most of his life and his favorite bud to this day is some good ol' OG Kush...i was like uhhhi happen to have some LCOG on me wanna see what you think?
Loved it he was about to go do like 6 hrs on a riding lawn mower so i threw him a nug to pass the time haha.
I was initially out visiting a friend who's about 55 also and he had another friend over so we all had that session together. My friend has 4 super tall super lanky BB's under a 600hps in a MASSIVE reflector! i swear it's like 4ftx5ft...i was like wtf they make em that big???
but his plants could be much better...i'll take pics next time to get some better input but he def need to be topping his plants.
gotta head to work
PEACE!
Sounds awesome dude.Oooo. The sfv og story.
Well. I really have a fuzzy memory of it all. But this guy been growing 15 years, he really loves the strains he is working with. Reallyyy prides the og. Says he was around when they created it.
My details suck, but . They were breading for a strong pheno. And many different seeds were grown, cloned, and all and all they picked this one og, and since then, its been clone only for her. .. This guys buds are some of the best I've ever smoked. Easily top shelf stuff in clubs. .
I've collected 3 different flowers from three different growers so far that im making my favorites.
First was is my" Purple Kush"
2nd is my "Burgundy"
3rd is now my "xj13"
gonna part with my scb .
got an afgoo I've never flowered before, we'll she how she goes, so far she is a weird plant in veg
Got some seeds that are almost ready for flower, scared as shit with these... Almost dont want to flower them, but it's 8 plants worth!
Can't wait yo clear out my unwanted plants, so I can focus on the good ones.
Im reallyyyyyyyyy happy with the progression of my magical garden
Holy crap...looks cool but could be yielding much more. but ya maybe they will fill out with health sized nugs even down low.
Maybe i'll make some edibles with that darker oil. My sisters wedding is coming up and i'd love to hook my brother-in-law up with an edible that'll knock him out...he's been going to law school and is ready to shut his brain off for the summer haha!
I'm just thinking about the method i want to use...any suggestions??
Sounds awesome dude.
That guy i went to visit last weekend who was growing the plants had some Blueberry and AK47 seeds, i snagged 4 and 5 respectively.
I also have 2 CherryBomb seeds to germ...can't wait to germ them all!!!
I'm think i'm going to be pretty happy with my grow room here soon. Just gotta buy some more PandaPlastic and rearrange some lights. I'm going to wait to post a video of my room til all that's done and cleaned up.
