So shouldn’t I be able to run 100 proof vodka down and pour out the last .5 of batch to get 90%-100% alcohol?
Through the Source? Yes, you can use the Source to do that.

Oops forgot pics.
Oops forgot the pics.
The fluid and the goo at the bottom of the container are both very potent. Can be mixed together and used like tincture, or you can allow all the fluid to evaporate off, then weigh the goo, and use it in recipes/capsules/oil/as is
Do not waste either.
How much bud, by weight, did you use?

Can this be made into vape juice? Have vg and pg and Pineapple Express terps if possible.

Gotta let ALL the solvent evaporate off, then evaluate it from there.

Will do. Thanks for your help. Read your posts and they have been very informative. Wife restarts chemo in January want to be prepared. No medical mj here. Can feel pretty isolated growing this has been a great outlet to address our medical needs and feel supported. Thanks to the help we will be prepared to battle on.

Well, if you want to make RSO for medicine, you already basically did. For RSO, you can let your material soak for a long time and not worry so much about color/clarity. So, just do a super long wash and evaporate off all alcohol til you’re left with a black goo.
Also, you’re very welcome. This is a great place to turn to for support.
You better start cranking out that RSO!
Per ounce of weed, you should be able to get up to 7 grams.
Per ounce of trim, 1-2 grams.
Each gram of RSO has approximately 600-750mg of cannabinoids. This is a rough estimate that most people seem to trust.
For cleaner extracts/concentrates you can expect closer to 750-850+mg of cannabinoids per gram.

I think going forward long soak rso will work best. I have about 4 oz of low quality immature bud and have trim from 2 plants I am chopping tomorrow. Is it ok to let them soak for 2 weeks in the freezer. Also here are pics of what’s left. GBD (golden brown delicious) how do I turn this into something that you take orally sublingual.

That’s a lovely color. Not clean enough to put in a cart, but you could probably dab that.
If not, put about a tbsp very warm MCT or Food Grade VG, OR add in some lower proof alcohol to make a tincture.
Never have dabbed before. Just read a little about it. Hash oil was a rare thing. Going to try a little taste in a joint. Make a tincture with some vg I have with the rest. Let you know how it goes. Thanks for the help!!!

Just finished. This stuff certainly tastes and smells like medicine. Made about 20g. Little bit on joint tasted good brought back some memories. Going to lick the spatula. Bet I’ll sleep good tonight.

The colder the better, if you’re looking for clean extracts with no chlorophyll leeching.
It’s 40 below outside. The herb and ethanol goes outside when it’s this cold, because people spend thousands on medical freezers for weed extractions, and I get one for free, on occasion.

Here’s the finished first wash of the QWET. The darker green color wouldn’t be something you want to smoke, but the lighter one would be OK. I shook the poopicaca out of this and let it soak for over an hour without refreezing it, not caring much if I kept it golden. I want the dark goo!
Still, it’s waaaaay less green than it has any right to be, thanks to the below zero starting temps:
No matter, this is going to be turned into edibles, anyway. Well, we’ll see how lovely the Bud extract turns out; that could be a dabber.
For the multiple washes, I cheated and just kept washing with the trim solution. That’s why it’s so concentrated green and cloudy: washed the trim 3x and the buds 2x in that same ethanol. Honestly, I ran out of ethanol, so I kind of had to. Luckily, I’ll get most of it back, thanks to The Source.
Now, it’ll all be frozen again, then filtered very heavily before working my Sourcery on it.
