if the video is showing when it’s hot than looks to be done, no bubbling?View attachment 1183411
Sooo...
How do I tell when the RSO is done... when it stops bubbling? What's the consistency when it's still hot? Mine currently looks like motor oil, like new motor oil lol... but with a glob of tar forming on my thermometer. I think I let it get too hot there for a sec.... but this is my first attempt. Does the consistency change as it cools like most things? It started to smoke for a second... but like I said... too hot. Probably fucked it up lol.

Waxes, terpenes, flavinoids, fats.. lots of stuff. I've seen RSO type oil come out in the low 70%'s cannabinoid content. Most crude and even some complicated extractions produce an oil in the 80% range. Getting over 90% is not all that common unless you are talking distillate or rosin. Even shatter is usually closer to 80%.i dont guess i understand the "90% pure cannabinoid", what else would it be? what is the other 10%?
No bubbling, it had tiny bubbles but then it stopped. I had to MacGyver my setup here... not a hotplate in my whole damn town and I have a gas range... so I started with a crackpot w water but it wasn't staying hot enough, so I used my electric griddle, first w a water bath then directly on it. Definitely got hot for a sec, like 270, But I took it right off. All I know is I probably shouldn't have licked all she sticky bits in my fingers cause I'm baked brahif the video is showing when it’s hot than looks to be done, no bubbling?
the consistency looks fine, depends on what type of material to make it and to extract it?
terpenes and flavanoids and all are cannabinoids i thought. i had been watching some stuff and reading and in the paper im reading now it says they are all the active ingredients in cannabis. some stuff about cannabinol and such. but definitely said terps and flavanoids were cannabinoids.Waxes, terpenes, flavinoids, fats.. lots of stuff.

the bigger bubbles mean it still has alcohol, the tiny bubbles is it decarbing. you can see the tiny bubbles for long after you remove it from heat as it decarbsNo bubbling, it had tiny bubbles but then it stopped.

I ran the tincture cycle on my MB machine... then boiled down the tincture as per magic butter's instructions using my hillbilly set up. I didn't decarb first, maybe I should have, I'm winging it. I left it in the sun in a clear jar before reducing to try and get rid of some of the chlorophyll. Not the ideal process but I think I was semi successful lol.
The trichs break off quite quickly yes, but the resin inside the trich needs a little time to dissolve into the solvent. The trich itself doesn't dissolve, it's a cellulose ball full of resin and that empty cellulose ball gets filtered out. Or it should anyway. Looks like trichomes in the filter, but it goes bone dry, non sticky.terpenes and flavanoids and all are cannabinoids i thought. i had been watching some stuff and reading and in the paper im reading now it says they are all the active ingredients in cannabis. some stuff about cannabinol and such. but definitely said terps and flavanoids were cannabinoids.
i froze, combined, shook for 30 sec and examined the green stuff and there were no more trichs left. so i dunno, but wouldnt that be all the cannabinoids? can you get more cannabinoids from it after all the trichs are gone? i figured any additional time shaking or waiting isnt going to produce. the trichs seem to be gone fast!

Keep in mind that hot plate evaporation will give you a dark amber oil still. The light fluffy product I showed above was produced by air evaporating it in a casserole dish outdoors, out of the sun with a fan blowing on it on it for a couple days. Once the solvent is mostly gone I'd scoop it out and smear it extremely thin on a large piece of glass to further dry and cure for about a week before scraping it off the glass.i normally run about 500ml of alcohol, so then i rinsed it with almost 500ml more (my container with the strainer and all i couldnt fit about 4 tablespoons - no idea liters but not too much shy of the double)
i could not get in the freezer, it is a front opening one, but a deep freeze, but i did stick my hands in with the door open, and sat it on my frozen green peanuts, with them packed around, so super cold. the alcohol was in the freezer for about a month. the weed was broken down and put in there on monday, i think, but plenty long.
it is on the hotplate now, i will soon see!!!!
thanks!
