In another thread riddleme stated that you could do a vigorous shake for 30 seconds and have oil. Well, he's right. I chopped up some trim and put it in a jar and covered it with alcohol (everclear) and shook hard for a minute and strained it thru a 100 micron screen and let it evaporate. It yields a cleaner tasting oil that is easy to make without any soak time. it made a believer out of me and is a tip worth passing along.

how much oil did you get from the jar? also when i made it in the past, it came out too think at room temp. everything that came in contact with it couldnt be cleaned.

i used butane, when you say alcohol, would that be better is it like 100 percent pure? im not sure exactly what to buy for it.

I only made up a small batch for experimental purposes, but the yield was comparable to a long soak.
Unfortunately, Everclear is not availabe in Europe, but me west has reported using 91% isopropyl alcohol with good results. You can use any alcohol, but the higher the proof, the cleaner the final result.

Hey cof, thanks for the tip. I'm just looking for something to do with some trim I have here. I'm short on bud and trying to keep away from the girls when they're so close to finishing. Buying's not an option either. Problem is that I don't have any kind of extraction gear other than some DIY stuff around the house. I do have some fairly fine screen material laying around that I could probably come up with some fairly decent hash. I have a fine mesh nylon bag, you see them in drug stores with gift samples of soap and such. It really is pretty fine but without something to gauge it to I couldn't say micron wise. Problem is I think my trim is still a little wet. I pulled it out of the freezer at 8oz fresh. Do you guys want trim fairly dry when dry screening? I also thought of the blender/ice method but I'd only have nylons to strain with and I'm not sure how that would go over.

Also cof. I just transplanted the 3 Heri girls that I got, out of 3 seeds whoohoo, and was reading up on the strain and it claims she's a stretchy plant. I'm running them 12/12 from seed and don't want to top so I'm wondering if I should let them go or train them. What's your experience with them?

Thanks,
Duchie

I, too have 3 heri's in bloom and stretch is not an issue, in fact they are short plants.
Heri is not one of my favorites and I'm only raising these for breeding purposes and I have one fella who has been bugging me for smoke. The heri is pretty much for heavyweight hitters and this fella is not in that class so I feel like he'll never bother me again once I put some in his hands. (looks like I'm revealing my sadistic streak)

I dry all of my trim before freezing and later using.

I was hoping to get a male out of these three so I could do the same. Seeing that I was pretty lucky hitting a hundred I may breed one of them with Extrema. I was going to do that with an Afghani today but after checking the calendar I decided against it. Another boat missed. But a Heri Extrema cross might be something.

Thanks for another great tip and, what's wrong with a bit of sinister in the name of fun?

I shared some White Widow with a friend, who shared it with a friend and the attention it grabbed was more than was I anticipated. It actually caught me off guard and was something I didn't anticipate when I thought about keeping things on the down low. Now they're bugging me to get more and I just can't do that.

That's the reason I try not to let anyone know I grow. All I say is I have a good, limited source which I share with friends when there is a surplus.

caveat on the shake and dry method: it has dried to a hard consistancy that can only be scraped from the dish with a razor blade and is similar to a gummy hash with no liquidity. I prefer at least a three day soak.

MMMM oil, me and my home boy made a few batches, one using everclear and the latter batch with 120 proof absynth from the uk, damnit boy!!! some straight mind blowing shit yet smooth & devastating smoke. Weve dipped a few buds of some primo DOG Kush & a few Jack Herer in a bath of absynth goooooo All from the DOG trim too. Shit is just so fkn gooo-d

I tell people I have a friend who grows and he lives far far away. He doesn't have very much and I only see him every once in a while.

I've been thinking of doing some butane oil stuff with my trim from this round. I've never done it before and will look up the proper way. Any secret tips anyone has?

Sour D for the 600

Nice, how good a smoke is the Sour D? ive heard good things but never tried it.

looks real tasty. i heard it was a long flowering thing tho. 12 weeks maybe.

totally off topic but i found a great site with free shipping for ph meters and a whole lotta other stuff.

The oil sticks like shit to a blanket so it's hard to use unless kept in the fridge, the gas i used was London gas it states on the tin free from impurities (i thought all butane was free from impurities but obviously not) but any gas they use in kitchen blow torches should be good to use the tube used was a large maglite with the torch end cut off just before the buttons, a piece of old sock was then secured over the end using a jubilee clip and a small hole drilled in the battery cap for the gas to be inserted, the best results i had was when i passed 2 tins of gas through each tube and let it run out into a large pyrex bowl and boiled the gas off (using warm water in a bowl) when all the gas is gone keep the oil warm and whip it up a bit just to release any gas that may be trapped.
I hope that helps.

Looks good whodat, who was the breeder? My friend has been wanting me to grow original Sour D and I'm planning to for the winter but haven't decided on what breeder to use...

Here's an NL5 update for the 600. 38 days in flower.
