haha as it is ive got 11 ounces of full on full sized trimmed buds sitting in the freezer, pretty sure its getting turned into honey oil......
Guys - i must have explained myself badly in the last post. The bud i used was top quality ripe fermented bud. All milky trichomes and harvested after 130 days.
This is the most potent bud in the whole area. So it's definitely not the quality of my bud that is to blame. So something is wrong with my technique or equipment.
Yes - ran two cans through. Might be a little left in dish but not enough. Thinking about trying to put it in the coke bottle again - then bud is submerged in butane - this must dissolve the trichomes and get most of it. The first times i did this was like that - it is a little more tricky, but does give a better output i think. (well - not a miracle or anything - guess this just always gives you a little less that you hoped for ;O)its a little on the lowside, but its not on the wow wtf side... like researchkitty suggested, try running 2 cans of butane through?
i made dry ice hash. then i added it to some bud and put it in the coffee grinder. then i blasted it with butane.i dont use butane, but i gauruntee it will help it will pre weaken the trichs before extraction making it that much easier
another method id love to give a try, is making dry ice hash, then processing it further down with iso... seems like a natural course of what to do
when i get some iso to make this next batch of oil im going to try to get a buddy to come over and film the process as i do it so i can make a tutorial video for those interested in learning how to make top notch iso oil
you need to stuff enough trim into the tube to cause pressure to build or the butane just blows by without extracting anything. if there is not enough back pressure for liquid to fill the tube then you aren't doing it right. there is a narrow line between not enough and too much though. too much and the butane won't be able to pass thru at all. you want it to pass thru, but with the MOST resistance you can create. i often shake and spin my tube while blasting it to get everything possible.I can't help wondering about people always talking about preassure inside the tube. I just don't see how the preassure would build up when one end is just shut by a coffee filter?
Best bet to use 1 can of butane per oz of product you pit into tube. Also after making bho for quite a while now I chop all my plant material in the Ninja chopper.( available at target,Walmart, etc). This will get your plant matter to a better form to fill your tube. Then just tap your tube on the ground lightly to pack plant matter. Lightly is key here, don't want it to tight.Hi Guys - i still get a very low output. From 20 gr. of Jack Herer i only get like 1-1.5 grams of budder. I use a 1inch tube - 1 foot long. Cap with 1 hole for gas in one end and just a coffee filter in the bottom. Ground up weed - not too fine. Made it pack pretty good in the bottom and used 2 bottles of gas. Anyone who can tell me if this can be tweaked to get most of my cannabinoids extracted?
http://okief.com/okay so, someone link me to a good bho extractor, think im going to buy one to do side by side testing of iso and butane and show the results
I sell em for $25 delivered to RIU members, they are 25mm diameter and a foot long. They will run about a half ounce to an ounce ground up each time. OR, I have some oddball sized larger diameter ones for the same price but an extra $5 for shipping since they are around 3x the weight. Oddball sized means they are a little shorter, around 10-11", rather than a foot long. They will all do around 2oz to 8oz depending on the length/diameter. The oddball sizes are a few 50mm, 44mm and 32mm. So hit me up with what amount you'd be running each tube and I'll try to match the oddball sizes ones up. They all come with coffee filters and rubber bands so you can be gangster.okay so, someone link me to a good bho extractor, think im going to buy one to do side by side testing of iso and butane and show the results
