Dude, that shit started off lookin beautiful! If you had put that in a vac chamber for about 5 hours at 110 degrees you would of had a beautiful slab of shatter!

I'm really sorry to say but that stuff does not look good. Don't get me wrong certain strains will produce darker oils but that my friend is way too dark!I will start with some photos from the other day.

How can you call this crappy? Pffffffffffffft. It's MINE! =)
the color is there but its not done purging. you need to purge for 12-16 hours especially if your not using a vacuum or winterizing. if you want crumble do about 130 degrees and if you want shatter go about 160 165 degrees. the lower temp will make it purge slower have smaller bubble and after an hour or 2 you'll have so many little bubbles that it dried out the concentrate and is crumbly but it will go back to mushy if left in warm areas because of the short purge. shatter i winterize but to just cook off purge overnight at about 165 degrees. 170 is supposed to be the magic number that damages trichomes so don't get to close to 170 or it will taste burnt or change darker in color.
theres such an easier way. if your going to wait 2-3 months don't use alcohol. place outside in a sealed jar in the sun and let the sun vaporize it to a liquid. it'll be straight thc vapor and no alcohol mix. but if you want to use 151 it is a good solvent because of the high alcohol level and drinkability. if you think you can handle the taste of ever clear it is better but has a bad taste. place in a big enough pot that you can cook at 160 degrees for about 6 hours and boil the bud in there and it will be a lot faster than 2-3 months. DONT place in a dark place you need heat to vaporize the thc off into the alcohol.

Aloha Twitch and RIU'ers~
Gettin the harvesting in and lookin forward to making some (better) wax/ bho/ absolute...whatev'a! I got a vacuum and a pump, a shit ton of pyrex plates for water baths, to help equal out the temps, etc. I even gave up my pancake grill for maintaining temps. Lots more to learn but I have all the stuff... just need a bit more herb. Or maybe I should do a small run? good idea!
much respect~
thanks for the knowledge tho

Yes I'm alive! Very surprised this thread is still going, and somewhat strong too.
I'm on Instagram now, I haven't had much time for the forums.
