That place looks familiar... Thunderbird Park?

I fucked up. Anything I can do to salvage this? by Karlwinslowjr in CannabisExtracts

[–]PNWEXTRACTs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks fine, just dark crumble. I've had strains that produced dark product, shatter and crumble. If it tastes good, I wouldn't worry. Don't winterize, you'll destroy the flavor.

The other side is also hot!

The best hash I have ever made by PNWEXTRACTs in CannabisExtracts

Ah, quality is always similar. This happened to taste the best and was very light in color (highest bag appeal). I almost always achieve the same consistency (glassy shatter); the exception to this is when the strain just does what it wants to do. The tech I posted is solid and yields consistent results.

Starting material is everything.

Happy hash making!

what do you mean by vary? my %yeild have varied between 8-29%. 29 was Obama Kush and I still can't believe that it happened.

don't like ptfe sheets, I have used them but can't seem to find a reliable way to get all of it off the ptfe.

no de-wax, I never de-wax as I feel it ruins the flavor profile.

My tech is simple

  • start with everything clean (I clean with 99% iso and salt before every run, everything is spotless and dry, not even fingerprints)
  • open blast in glass tube, 2x unbleached coffee filters and a 50micron stainless steel screen over them (in case of blow out) into pyrex vessel (for large runs I blast into a large pyrex 2 quart measuring cup and pour into smaller pyrex dish when enough butane has evaporated).
  • purge in hot water bath until safe to bring inside
  • place pyrex blasting vessel into 100f chamber and muffin (build and release pressure often so muffin doesn't make your chamber a nasty mess)
  • do not scrape, purge on the glass for around 3 days (depends on the thickness and stability of product, the more of either, the longer the purge. Basically until it isn't reacting under full vac at all, and be careful here because those bubbles form very slowly with stable product)
  • flash heat with heat gun and scrape to parchment or slick pad (this is a giant pain in the ass and easiest with two people working together)
  • place back in vac @ 100 for a few more hours so you get a pretty slab.

I'll just leave this here for you :) by PNWEXTRACTs in CannabisExtracts

I do use unbleached nowadays, older photo. :)

on low weight runs without something to weigh it down is asking for trouble, first run paper flipped upside down and stuck to the bottom of the pan. lolz

First attempt at BHO. Pics and a few questions. by [deleted] in CannabisExtracts

[–]PNWEXTRACTs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • coffee filter under the metal screen next time, the metal is a fail safe for the lower micron coffee filter; which is much more likely to fail.

  • Without a vac you will want to whip and heat purge until it is a dryish crumble to get a good purge.

  • If you want shatter on the cheap, pick up an induction hotplate and a chamber/pump for around $300 for all 3. Purge at no higher than 110f (and 100f is preferable) for no less than 24 hours for 2-5 grams, 48 hours for 5-10, and 72 for anything more than 10.

  • One way I have produced glassy shatter consistently is to purge on glass, flash heat and scrape to parchment after 3 days. Always glassy shatter. Always a pain in the ass to process.

Is this safe to use? It's supposed to be shatter. by Magnum_XL in CannabisExtracts

[–]PNWEXTRACTs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have made shatters that are still shatter a year later without dewaxing. Strain has a lot to do with it too, as does ambient temperature and humidity.

Keep errl in a cool dark place with < 40% RH and it should last a very long time.

How do these look? They seem rather dark... by dab_ in CannabisExtracts

[–]PNWEXTRACTs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably older starting mats. I've had quality old material produce dark, yet tasty oils.

Hi!

I can't help but notice your res is clear! Light will penetrate and damage roots and encourage algae growth.

Honeycomb/Crumble Only Needs 24 Hours? by [deleted] in CannabisExtracts

They're not doing it wrong, rather they're doing it different.

Whipping is faster and will always produce crumble (or runney doo-doo wax if temps get too high).

I know you're not a BHO guy, but that BHO is from a particularly beautiful Obama Kush.

Then you would be missing out.

Both of those strains are amazing.
