    How Much Do You Reduce The Everclear In Your Tincture?

    I reduced some by half and that greatly reduced the burn.

    Mixing High Thc Oil With Cbc Oil

    For my daytime pain puff, I mix 50 mg of winterized high sativa THC butane wax, 50 mg of 99+% CBD crystal isolate (with terpenes) per ml USP PG. I simply put it all in a test tube and leave it sit for a few hours with a small tungsten photo lamp shining on it. Everything dissolves quickly and...

    Mixing High Thc Oil With Cbc Oil

    CBD crystal isolate works well for that.

    Shatter Project

    Thanks for the confirmation. Also thank you for the mention of desiccants. I've been leaving chopped buds in 45%/95° open air to dry and the stuff really doesn't lose much moisture in a week. You reminded me I have a big bucket of calcium chloride so I'll try using that. I put a half-pound of it...

    Shatter Project

    I thought this was the only concentrates sub forum. I've read theory and hypotheses that initial boiling off of butane under high ambient humidity conditions as well as too much moisture left in the source material will cause failure to harden as well as darkening in color. I was simply hoping...

    Shatter Project

    My pseudoshatter may be miserable to work with as is but it does make some nice eliquid. This has a lot of added CBD crystal isolate and will be used as a daytime puff by my brother with cancer. Something to relieve pain in the daytime that won't buzz him out. So what does it take for a new...

    Shatter Project

    I winterized 1277 mg of the above pictured material in 15 ml of Everclear 190 proof hoping to dry it out to better solidify it. 2½ days at -6° F then freezer filtered it through a buchner with Whatman #1 paper. This caught 150 mg of lipids. I let the ethanol evaporate off at 90° F then vacuumed...

    Shatter Project

    This is the only other shatter I've ever seen. Somebody sent me a gram and it arrived like this. Completely melted in March.

    Shatter Project

    Here are my first two pieces of "shatter". From what I've read, the color is probably normal considering the age of the buds. Otherwise it seems nice. I've been holding the temperature to between 90 and 95° F so it has good terpene smell. I vaporized a small taste and it's potent. It will...

    Hello Folks!

    Yep. And Panama Red, Acapulco Gold, Kona Gold, Maui wowie, Thai sticks, etc. Yah, I miss the old days even though the best of the best now is so much better than it was in the 70's.

    Hello Folks!

    Thank you. Now I know what "days" means in all of these seed ads. Back in the day, we didn't buy seeds. We collected good seed

    Shatter Project

    I did my first extraction today. 14.45 grams of bud, clipped into small pieces with scissors and left to rest in a jar for a few days. I did the extraction in a 90 gram closed column. The half-Z more that halfway filled the column, very loosely packed. I stored the loaded column and butane in...

    Hello Folks!

    Sweet creepin' jeezus, those look delicious. I want some to eat for dessert tonight. So those buds were 62 days between seed and picking?

    BHO Purging Method

    Bump. Some excellent questions here in a well laid out scenario. Since I'm about to start making some shatter in a 90°/90% environment, I have interest too. OldHead, did your catch bowl ice up when you were releasing your butane mix?

    Shatter Project

    That's nice looking stuff. Do you have any macro pictures of the source material? The project is real and will begin next week. I have 9 oz of this material to learn with.

    Another question: What major characteristics would bud dried to 50% humidity be showing?

    Hopefulok Is More Than A Name -

    My friend who legally grows 72 x 12' medical plants for his patients says the same thing now that the big money and corporate BS is taking over from the original small grower system. He went to a dispensary a while back to look at something and they gave him a $20 joint. He said it wasn't worth...

    I use it by dissolving 300 mg into 30 ml EVCO, then use a 10 ml pipette to fill 50 capsules in a capmquik jig. I once put some in the oil pod for my Flowermate and vaped it but since the oil is a whole plant reduction, there's too a bit too much goo for that. Even after melting and filtering a...
