You'll get all kinds of chlorophyll and any liquids still in your trim. The dryer the better in my experience
I looked a little couldn't find much about this...
Spose to be dry?
i have a bunch of fresh frozen trim I was gonna make bubble with.
can I make BHO with it instead?
Thanks GrayWolfFrozen fresh trim makes a delightful BHO extraction. Freeze the butane too, and check out thermos techniques.
Yup, just careful if you tube it cause icy chunks can build up and cause messy blowout (thought my gear was immune, but finally learned the hard way). If you vacuum out the air before freezing this can be avoided, and break it up better than I did (the frozen chunks). For dry, the less you break it up the better it will be, although a little lower yield with non-reclaim equipment. I like the extract textures from dry material too, but fresh and freshfrozen are super flavorful.Frozen fresh trim makes a delightful BHO extraction.

cool, good to know. thanks Broand dont grind the material to fine. break it down the consistency needed to roll a joint.

Bet that harlequin will be awesome too. You should make little samples of them all to find your favorites. I have a small 3-4g tube just for this purpose, easy purge and cleanup with qtys so small, so in a couple hours you can have a smorgasbord.
GW, how long do you steep in the thermos? And where do you get those micron screens for straining?
For this you mean after pouring off the liquid butane for evap, right? Do you cap the vessel/thermos for re-freezing? Potential pressure to make a bomb if allowed to warm back up?depending on how pristine I am trying to keep it. I pick up the remainder with a second soak after freezing again.
When I do fresh frozen BHO, I make sure there is no moisture on the surface to ice over the trichomes and then cut it up in rough ~1/4" chuncks. I stuff those in the thermos and after freezing the butane and thermos to -18C/32F, I add the butane and soak the first time for 30 minutes to an hour, depending on how pristine I am trying to keep it. I pick up the remainder with a second soak after freezing again. I've never run it over a couple of hours total, but perhaps Jump can regale us with some of his longer soak experiences in the great frozen north country.
I pour through a Chenoise strainer purchased from Roses Restaurant Supply and a simple commercial coffee filter from the same place, for the first fast filtration.
If I need it prettier than that, I redissolve it in ethanol and after freezing the solution to -18C/0F, I filter it using a #1 Watmann vacuum filter (~17 micron), followed by a 0.2 micron syringe filter, which takes out everything, down through bacterial size. Those come off E-bay, or from American Scientific.
