Hello Everyone,
After smoking for 20 years,growing for 10,and dabbing for 5, I decided to read all I could on BHO extractions and purging techniques and pull that 1st extraction on some Frisian Duckfoot strain I grew. I packed my tube with 2oz of nugs (pretty much whole off the stems),blasted 2 power 5X cans, unpacked and dried nugs, grinded them up and repacked tube. Then I blasted one can of newport and collected all liquid in pyrex glass measuring cup (10cup size). I placed in warm water bath and after 30 min or so it had stopped bubbling and reduced. I then added 8 oz Everclear and put in freezer for 12 hours. After straining mix through unbleached coffee filter into mason jar, poured onto rectangular pyrex pan which was then placed into a 18qt roaster filled with water at 150F and at approx 2 inches above the water line. It took 2 and a half hours for the liquid to milk up, oil bubble, and evaporate. After scraping 10 razor blades of product, I collected some golden shatter and very tiny shards. I was happy until I dabbed it... because it had a sizzling sound. After some research it seems like water is the likely culprit. So my question is where did it come from and what could I change so that I don't repeat. Keep in mind it's for personal use, and like someone who brews their own beer or makes their own pizza dough from scratch, theres a certain pride in doing something the best way possible.I know everyone has their best way of doing it and I'm glad for any advice. In closing, could extracting outside in the middle of the night in winter pick up water from the air? sorry if that sounds stupid
Peace and keep smoking!
