Help got black oil!

So I used 91% alcohol to make it & it was a dark green color & just kept getting darker & darker. I heated it up super slow but by the time i was done it was black. Never had this happen before, is it still cool to smoke??

Yes I used leaf....I usually use butane but wanted to try something different.

Alcohol oil usually turns black even more so when leaf is used its normal and safe to consume

how long of a wash ? did u shake or swirl? freeze everything?

Start with everything frozen. 1st wash - swirl for 20sec max. dump thru straining. 2nd wash - 30sec swirl. dump. 3rd - 30sec swirl. dump. then discard of product as its no good anymore.

Alcohol is polar and readily dissolves and holds chlorophyll in solution.

When we use alcohol, we use quick wash frozen extraction techniques, so that the frozen water holds the chlorophyll in place.

dont wory about it being black thats old school hash oil ,,,iso is polar and pulls allot of chloropyl which wen concentrated turns pretty dark but when spread will leave green streaks,,,, its fine to smoke but wen i do iso (my personal fav for its spreadability ) i usually make keif then fill a baby food jar or mason jar depending what i am working with and then just add enuf iso to cover it and let itsit for a cpl days (less plant in keif so not much worry about it sitting) just shake it ,,, after wards the keif will look like bleached sand on the bottom and the liquid will be jet black,,, i pour into a pyrex and (not recomended or endorsed but my style) light t on fire ,, the fumes of iso burn well above the actual oil which evaps it to its best possible potential end product is jet black and smells beautiful and super potent
DONOT lite iso on fire if ur not ready for all potential problems ,,,, air evap n water bath work just fine just takes alot longer
