Somthing wrong with QWISO

:tiphat:Hello everybody,so first of,ive made QWISO many times before,but this time I made it,it turned out like hashish..and wont dab??? very well atleast.. most hash ive made will dab like a oil,but this stuff wont.

Did I do something wrong?
I did wash quiet different than normal, I tried washing twice and did two runs,pouring all the substance into a pyrex container,scraped it and got this

It wont dab very good but it will bubble,it takes shape, and has a hashish feel,and the inside is brown...

I then shaped it to a ball,i put some it a bowl and it smoke ok,i was messed up last night and day because me and some friends dab about a gram every 30 min lol
Anyway,any info on why it turned out like this will help,i also might throw it back in iso to see wtf happens lol thanks guys:bongsmi:

there are probably a couple things u could change in ur method to get a better result.

first off what is ur starting materiel like? is it fresh?

im guessing u should put ur iso and material in the freezer for a couple hours first.

then maybe do less material in ur jar or washing unit so the alcohol can flow out more freely.

to get shatter i never let it sit in the alcohol for over 20 counts. including filling it up and shaking it. thats why i like to use like an 8th of a 2ozmason jar filled with weed. so i can get the alchohol back quikly.

imo if the alcohol has taken on a dark green tint , ur gonna polly end with a more hash like substance. so i would shoot for a quiker wash.

also if ur using more of a "shake" material rather than small partially whole sugar leaves is another reason for darker more plant mattery stuff.

i only recently been making qwiso shatter , my stuff used to come out more like a mix of shitty hash/shittybho. every time ive tried to make from nasty trim made even worse qwiso. the stuff i used recently prolly would have made some preety good bho so i think that is the key.
hope this helps, just sum ideas:tiphat::tiphat:
 
Sounds like you new method/ extra washing resulted in a slightly lower grade product. I have found that washing longer or doing a second wash will result in more hash but less potency. My best product comes from one fast wash. If I do a second wash, I keep it in a separate container so I have a high quality and then a low. Normally I just throw the buds away after the first wash.

try this...
instead of throwing away that refuse, dry it completely and screen it. you will find an extraordinary amount of reclaim.
you'll still have the primo first wash, and can dissolve the reclaim into EToH or iso for your seconds.

you'll be suprised.:biggrin:

You can make some great edibles and tinctures with the second wash. I do one quick 20 second wash at low temperature, then I do a second wash at room temp for 12 hours or longer.

The second oil comes out a dark green color. Dissolve it in Everclear to make a potent tincture, or add it to your favorite recipes for edibles.

i would focus on the quality of the stuff you are putting in, rather than purging method . then i would mess around with shorter soak times.
wet trim works awesome too.

as for the existing hash .... i know what id do with it:biggrin:
