Hi,
Most of my extractions are done with my plants. The plants that I grow are from outdoor growing and most of them sativas, sativa hybrids or landrace. On my lasts 30 extractions I use the same equipment. The most significant detail from my equipment is the lab filter. Right know I’m using 38-43 micron hole paper filter.
The result from my extractions is an oil quite liquid (if I don’t do any post process).
The color of the oil depends on the variety, or at least that was what I thought.
On my last grow, due to different problems, I had to cut all the plants at the same time and many of them were ready and some weren’t (even from the same variety).
I made 2 extraction with 2 different plants from the same variety and I mention that the oil from the mature plant was darker the other.
Last weekend I’ve been with some friends of ACE Seeds and I made an extraction with their grass. We use some indoor grass. The result was an oil much more dense.
So, those are my conclusions:
- Indoor plants or indica -> dense oil
- Outdoor plants or sativa -> liquid oil
- Mature plants -> dark oil
- Not mature plants -> clear oil
Shalom.
