Run 2 same material, but better extraction this time.
7g. Very nice!
Dude, I was so stoked to see that. I was thinking half that. But scale doesn’t lie.
Running this one time, is kind of a production, but if you have everything lined up, running a couple of times is no big deal. Recovery goes faster after you have everything set. Recovery, that’s what takes time. @MidwestGuy
That’s good stuff, man. The benefits of owning sophisticated equipment!
Not really sophisticated, but it wasn’t cheap.
Glad to see that you’re happy w the results, which will only continue to get better & better w each run.
Sounds like doing multiple runs might be the ticket. Will be interesting to see how this new batch will run for you now that you’re getting in tune w the extraction.
I’m hoping to improve the processes to get the best extraction yield possible. I do a one hour soak, maybe I’ll do a 2 hour soak and see what happens.
The second run I packed the column loosely, but the interesting part is it ended up fairly tight after the extraction.
If you know anyone that does an extraction I have figured out that extremely cold temps are the key to speedy recovery, and total recovery.
The only butane I wasted is just a little bit of fumes between hoses, and whatever gaseous fumes is inside the extractor after It’s finished. Other than that, I figure 1% loss of what I put in. The white propane tank sized butane I ordered should last a lot longer than I ever expected. Lmao. @Mote
EDIT: I completely forgot you stopped by the first extraction. I blame just waking up. Going to drag myself to the coffee maker, then bake. lol.
Totally Awesome! Thank you! I had to go to google to even know what BHO was and now I am Following hope you don’t mind! Super stoked to have learned about this!
I’m no expert, but if you have any questions I would be more than happy to answer them best I can.
@GreenFlex more the merrier I say.
I am out of like’s but I believe I will be asking soon enough but for now I am Following along for sure!
Same here dude, I dont know what half the terminologies mean, its all a learning curve afaic.
I DO Now lol Butane Hash Oil and can even understand the process all thank’s to @Covertgrower for threading it!
After I make a few more runs, maybe I’ll make a step by step photo with better details. But really the whole process is straightforward. Still a beginner, but heck, I’m sure both of us will learn along the way.
Did another run. Still had dry ice from the other day, so why not? Gelato mixed trim and nugs 50:50. But most was GSC.
Did things differently than last time. Chopped in food processor with dry ice, got everything nice and frozen then dumped in. Didn’t grab a weight yet.
Previous run in container. Different plant, got a different texture. Thought this was interesting.
Looks like your getting the process dialed in.
Verny Nice indeede, looks great. Once extracted how long does it last and how do you store it?
Happy Memorial Day my friend
For long term, I recommend keeping in the fridge. I’m not really sure how long it would last. I would assume about the same time as flower. THC is THC and I suspect has the same timeframe of degradation. @Mote
More than likely this will be consumed before any expiration date ever came around.
I sincerely hope so
