So i recently came into a pound of some dark bho(120g is in photo below). Im going to be trying different "experiments" and purification/refinement techniques. I'm also open to ideas and suggestions. If you want to see something specific, as long as its safe and reasonably priced, I might give it a try. A little background on the oil. It was made by a few of my buddies from trim and small-medium sized buds from this years outdoor harvest. I suggested from now on they separate the buds so they could do whole nug runs(which they started doing and are having much much better results.)
MAIN GOALS
Starting Material: Unsorted trim about 10-20 percent nugs. Close sugar trim, fan leaves, stems, and nugs under a gram.
Extraction Method: Passive 5lb Closed loop system.
Solvent: Butane.
Purge: two AI 1.9 ovens @ 95°F for 5 days.
Finished experiments:
MAIN GOALS
- Remove fats, plant waxes, lipids and other contaminates.
- Significantly lighten the color of the oil (Not sure if this is possible)
- Final consistency being Stable (shatter, pull and snap) or honeycomb
- Turn at least one of the oz into 90 percent plus total thc/thca
- Have fun and learn some new tech
- After seeing the thread about "jars of crystals." try and find a way to grow crystals with this as starting material.
Starting Material: Unsorted trim about 10-20 percent nugs. Close sugar trim, fan leaves, stems, and nugs under a gram.
Extraction Method: Passive 5lb Closed loop system.
Solvent: Butane.
Purge: two AI 1.9 ovens @ 95°F for 5 days.
Finished experiments:
- "Winterize" 39 grams without freezing using aluminum oxide and methanol. (currently evaporating/purging methanol)
- winterize using 200 proof ethanol(currently evaporating/purging ethanol)
- try to isolate and purify cannabinoids/thc via dry column chromatography using hexane/ethyl acetate(in seperate run use chloroform/dichloromethan 2:1) to create fractions.
- After Winterizing attempt to significantly lighten the oil using bleaching clay
- After winterizing attempt to significantly lighten the oil using activated carbon
- Try saturated salt water wash w/hexane
- See if its possible to make butter/wax after dewaxing/winterizing bho
- Try to Grow a thc crystal
