got caught up seed shopping so i'm running late lol
here's the original version
Honey Hash Oil...in 100 seconds
as per request..
here it is..
all the standard disclaimers pertaining to dangerous solvents apply. work OUTDOORS, or in a well ventilated area like a shed, unless you own a fume hood.
what you'll need:
(1) 1/8-1/4 ounce of dry buds/shake/frosty trim
(1) quart mason jar with plastic lid (metal works in a pinch)
(1) cup of 91% isopropyl (rubbing) alchohol or everclear
(1) unbleached (brown) coffee filter
(1) small stainless steel collander with handle (99 cent store)
(2) pyrex or glass pans or corningware casserole dishes (1 will suffice, 2 better)
(1) rubbermaid tote (large enough for your evap. dishes to sit in)
(1) pot of hot water
boil a pot of water and set everything up in your work area before starting.
time is of the essence when doing this. work as quickly as possible during all steps,
but work carefully. its easy to fuck it up if you're sloppy.
arrange both evap. dishes right next to each other before you start, as well.
paper towels are good to have around too.
step 1
add the weed to the quart jar and cover with an equal volume of solvent.
replace lid.
holding the jar, not the lid, shake it like you're mad at it for 100 seconds.
step 2
over your 1st evap. dish, carefully, and slowly, pour the contents of the jar into the coffee filter nexted in the collander.
some stuff will get stuck in the jar, dont worry about it right now. put the jar aside.
let it drip through the coffee filter and collect in the dish.
once the alchie stops draining freely, or after 60 seconds or so, whichever comes first, move over to the 2nd evap. dish. and let it run till it stops dripping.
if using just one dish, just set the collander down on the table while you work on the next step.
step 3
wash the plant matter off the inside walls of the quart jar with a small amount of solvent, as little as possible, then, over your second evaporation dish, pour the contents of the jar into the coffee filter with the rest of the 'spent' plant material. some liquid should drip through.
at this point you can either stop, or, over the 2nd evap plate, or a third, gently pull the sides of the filter together at the top, in essence closing it up into a 'pouch' and apply some slight pressure to 'purge' the remainder of solvent from the plant matter. stop when you start to see the color of the liquid change.
if you have used 2 or more dishes, you will have 2 or more 'grades' of oil. if you use just one, it will all be combined.
another advantage of multiple dishes is ease in evaporating/drying. its of utter importance you let your oil evap fully and dry completely before smoking. this leads us to the last step
step 4
pour the hot/boiling water into the bottom of your rubbermaid container, about half the height of your evap. dish, and set the dishes in the heat bath to evap. fully. remember to replace the hot water when it gets to room temp. may need to do it 3 or 4 times before your solvent has been fully purged from the product.
you shouldnt have to, but you can use a blow dryer on a low setting to speed the evaporation process. this is dangerous, but then again so is working with solvents. if you arent smart enough to be able to work with electrical devices around h2o, then you certainly arent capable of doing this procedure
meanwhile, back at the ranch...
once evaporation is complete, youll be left with an offwhite/gold to cherry colored film, depending on how quick you did things and the starting material. some strains make oily concentrate, some a pastier consistancy.
set it in a cool, dry place and let it 'cure' in open air for at least 2 days before scraping up your bounty with a clean razor blade. if you are desperate you can smoke it after 24 hours. i wait 5 days before scraping the plate.
this stuff melts at slightly above room temp and turns to glass anything under, so store it in the fridge or freezer in an airtight box or jar. i use a plastic box lined with wax paper and do not press my product.
wayyyyy to complicated
my version. 99% isopropyl alcohol. lower percentage can lead to white residue. quart canning jar. coffee filter. a gold screen coffee filter works well. pyrex pie dish.
everything is pretty much the same. put the trimmings in the jar. i go about half full. cover them with alcohol about 1/8" more than the material. put the lid on tight and shake like hell for 100 seconds. remove the lid and drain into the pan through the filter. with practice you can get most everything out on the first try without adding a little more alc to wash the sides of the jar. i skip the boiler process entirely and use a fan placed about 1 foot away blowing directly into the mix. normally i just leave over night and it's dry in the morning, but it only takes 2-3 hours normally. although the product can be used when dry, i prefer to leave it in a well sealed box for about a week or two just to make sure everything evaporates.. a sort of cure almost.
here's the mixture in the pan pre-evaporation
the gold screen lets through just ever so slightly larger particulates which renders the oil more manageable. the two grades mentioned in the original tek will begin to separate during evaporation. you can see the cleaner oil built up on the sides of the dish..
the particulate stuff builds up on the bottom along with a layer or the caviar oil on the sides. i usually keep side stuff separate from the bottom stuff though.
even the bottom stuff is pretty oily too
the main keys are like the original says. 1) move fast and smooth. do a dry run first just to make sure if need be. 2) 100 seconds. no more. more leads to extraction of chlorophyll and other undesirables that have to be separated with polar solvents like in other methods. 3) like i say lol.. 99% alc. trust me on this
it's not the ultimate production method.. nor the 100% clean method, but it is a good inexpensive and easy route to some truly damn good quality product when you put the right stuff in.
ok have fun, be SAFE
i'm taking a few hits of the caviar before bed lol
