Winterizing bho

I've never gone about the thermos soak way. But others have, fade , and 650 baquet both know those tricks.

as for freezing wet trim. I would go about letting that trim dry out as much as possible first before freezing. Freezing will help lock the moisture for sure, but the less you have to lock, the better. Trim usually dries fast anyways. So no biggy.

whether it be trim, or bud, preserving the material as soon as it is dry is key.
Old crusty left out trim, no good. Fresh bagged wet mildew trim, no good.

if you must run fresh wet, of course freeeeeze. I just prefer fresh dry.

quick tips. Use the lid of thermos to help you strain the initial butane oil out. Pour that right into a measuring cup, or Pyrex cup.

let that evap off naturally outdoors. (what kind of weather do you have over there?)

being your first time, add plenty of ethanol, some say 10x as much eth to bho(10ml to 1g). Go with that. You'll figure out a happy medium after a few runs. Key thing here is to make sure you fully dissolve any chunks of bho into the ethanol .

freeze till temps of that Pyrex drop below 0f. And you shoulddddd be about good.

coffee filter onto a nice flat Pyrex baking dish. The more surface area the better.

let that sit in the flowering room for x amount of time. Bam!

my favorite way to do the evap is to place the dish at the exhaust end of a fully enclosed filtered flowering tent. warm weedy air blowing right over :)

See normally i'd totally just use the tube and run a good amount of tane through it but i figure with the thermos you can let it sit for well hours if you wanted but 45 to an hour should be everything out.

I totally hear you on drying the trim, i always did using the tube bone dry then frozen. this guy doing the Amber stuff advises wet for best results, seemed odd to me?! I also wondered about curing the shake so maybe not just flash dried on back of a hood. would it even have bearing on the taste?

our weather is pretty shitty atm cold wet and real rainy i have a small lean to i can leave the pyrex in with the door open. but it'd probably take a day or so. might water bath it if needs be. not ideal though. can't evap in flower room though eh lol

cheers for the tips man, and answering my noob Q's. i'm excited to try my hand. i've not tried anything new weed tech wise in ages. might even get myself a Ti nail for my bong.

Duration depends on the temperature.

In a thermos with butane at -20°C / -4°F

50% of the resin is extracted for a half-hour,

70% extracted for the hour,

90% will require approximately two hours.

me wants some winter somethings.

i pre gamed for a show last night, kind of under the weather at the moment, so i took a hugeeeee dab before i left house. (didnt want to drink)
measured out .5g, got about half way through :mrgreen:

that thing hurtt!! for about 15 minutes at least. (non winterized bho shatter)

key point, winterized somethings most likely would have only hurt for about 5 minutes..

point i really wanted to get across. i was really really RIDICULOUSLY highhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhfvdjvdfkvndv! :]
felt like i was sailing through trippy land for the next 2 hours.. landed the ship 3 hrs after take off :]

Ran some BHO last night but when I was done I realized in my haste that I had left a significant amount of oil unpurged and unscraped from the Pyrex I blasted in. Too tired to do shit about it so I scraped it all into a glob & dumped about a shot glass full of everclear on it & swirled til it dissolved ...left it evapping on my dehumidifier. Scraped it up to do a dab after breakfast & found it to be some of the most flavorful, smooth, & potent stuff I've made to date. It's like a lemon colored crystalline powder that vapes nicely in my pen... Awesome! Thanks for the info everyone

I did a huge dab after taking a few days off and went to that same place Guz! I was playing COD and all of a sudden I was in the game, freaked out, and had to look away. When I looked back at the TV I was still there like I was in the game. I had to shut it off and go sit by myself on the couch for like an hour while I talked myself down. I'm still laughing about it a week later. wTF!

Every closed loop ive seen comes out light brown/light green - dark.

can you still achieve yellow or white in closed loop?

The only time I notice a color difference is with the age of the material. Older trim often comes out darker for me.
