Dude I just spent the last 4 days (off and on) reading your whole thread and have to say I really enjoyed those 26 pages (and lots a pics too)! If you don't mind can you explain how you go about making that wax or BHO that you you use that glass tray and heating pad to make. That looks like something Id love to learn how to do. Awesome grow by the way!
Thanks for the kind words KD!
There should be a section of the farm that covers making BHO.
Im not sure if you’re talking about a plant heat mat, (black), that I’ve sometimes used or if you’re talking about the silicone mat, (white).
If it’s the heat mat, it’s just to speed up evaporation, and in that case it’s usually for ISO.
BHO basics are very dry buds/trim.
A tube/vessel to hold the dried material.
And a few cans of high quality butane. Don’t use that Ronson crap or other cheap stuff that has the rotten egg smell added.
I have a stainless tube that holds 4 zips. But sometimes I make smaller batches in a pint Ball jar.
Let the butane evaporate. Then you need to purge residual butane using a vacuum.
It’s a simple process, but you do have the ability to blow your house up. So don’t do it indoors.
Check the site for threads dedicated to this and also check out YouTube.
You should also be able to find a few videos/articles where jackasses blew up their kitchens too
It’s relatively easy, but not without risk. Fresh air is your friend.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT…
But if you must do it indoors, open EVERY window in the house.
And if you smoke, for God sake, put your lighter and cigarettes in your car so you don’t get absent minded and light up while doing this. And yes, someone has done this and no more kitchen
Do some homework, and apply some common sense and you should be fine.
You could opt to use ISO, but you don’t want dry herb for that AND there is less, but still a chance of blowing shit up with ISO.
Good luck
