Definately go hash oil with hermies. Its the most efficient method I have used. Making hash from hermies is not particularly efficient because they are usually weeded out before they have had time to develop the tricome formation necessary for making good hash. The majority of the thc s still inside the plant. Your best bet will be to dry the plant by your preffered method (curing before hash oil extraction is unnecessary.), grind it in a coffee grinder, and then extract the oil using the butane as a solvent. Its an easy, efficient method that gives the purest, cleanest form of THC available from even crappy hermies. Give it a try!
