What to do with white widow leaves?

HI,

I recently harvested some white widdow plants Normally i would just smoke the buds and bin the leaves but some of the leaves are literally covered in sticky white crystals and it seems a shame to bin them. Does anybody know of any fairly straight forward method to extract the THC from the leaves.... I dont really want to use acetone or any other flammable chemicals as its a bit of a scary thought and i only did 5 or 6 plants. I tried scraping it off with a knife like it said in a book i read but its not really doing the trick lol
Is there anything i can do with these leaves other than bin them?
Thanks guys any advice would be great

yah, there is alot that you can do with them.. its a shame to just toss them.. since you don't like the idea of using solvents, you could try and make some ice hash, but for this you will need some bubble bags.. they do have some fairly cheap ones online if you look around enough..
i made my first batch of qwiso last year, and i too was super nervous as i have caught on fire at a job as a result of solvents, so i know how you feel... but you can make isoprypol washed hash fairly savely if you don't use any heat to evaporate the solvents off with... you can just fill say a mason jar with the leaves and trim and cover the leaves with 91% iso alcohol.. shake it for around thirty seconds or so.. not too long or you will end up with too much plant matter in the hash... next you strain off the liquid from the trim. you can use either say a panty hose or a paper coffee filter.. pour the liquid into a large flat bottom dish... now the fast way, but also the more dangerous route, is to cook off the alcohol, which im also very nervous doing... but there is another way that is much safer and doesn't require and heat... just take the dish with the alcohol in it, and sit it outdoors somewhere nice and safe away from any flames or heat sources.. it will take much longer, but the alcohol will evaporate on its own.. once it does, you will be left witht a sticky substance on the bottom of the dish that is a like caramel color.. take a razor blade and scrape this all up.. this will be your hash.. its more of an amber color actually... i like to make a nice ball out of it and sit it in the sun for a few more days to make sure all solvents are out of it... after that, smoke and enjoy..
if you want to go with the bubble bags route, there are tons of videos on you tube that show you how to do so, and im sure directions would come with the bags, but it basically just involves using ice and water and the bags.. fill the bags with ice and water and stir stir stir, and stir some more.. the ice causes the thc to seperate from the trim, and it gets collected in the bags.. there are different sized bags that have different screen sizes.. so some of the bags will contain better grade hash than the others..

Thanks for your advice mr G i have a friend who is going to do it for me so hopefully he will be able to manage it... i did not know you could do it without cooking the solvent

Put them in a jar with some water and ice..... I throw in some B.B's too to help cruch it all up.
Shake it up for a while 30 min to 1 hour. strain out the leaves and stems, let it settle, then syphon off the water that contains the chloraphyl and organic material....... do this a couple of times to refine it, then let it dry out......... POOF you got yourself some hash. nice little bonus from stuff most people throw away, surprised me the first time how much i got from the leaves.

Yeah make some ice hash like I did with y 1st WW grow I got the bags on ebay & made some killa resin with it - Made about 4 grammes with all my trim off one plant... kept it in the fridge in a airtight container until my weed ran out! best solid I ever had dude!

I keep my trim and male leaves and make stupid quicky joints and smoke them like cigs. It makes the harvest last longer.

crock pot cannabutter is what i did with my trim turned out to be like .67 of trim in the butter per cookie i ate 9 cookies and was ript for almost 20hours woke up the next day baked
its real easy to make theres a bunch of threads on here on it

there is no reason to smoke male leaves

Do i need to dry my leaves before i put them through a bubble bag with ice??

I give the shake to a few good ol' friends, or else I'll fire up my lawnmower and mulch that shit up!

When you harvest 2 lbs every couple of months, why smoke leaves?
