If it is green, then that would indicate Chlorophyll getting into the mix, so I am not sure WTF he is doing? Certain strains will be darker b/c of CBD content, your sativas tend to be 'blonde'. It actually has been a good way for me to get a handle on the sat/ind dominance by looking at my budder's hue.it was sort of green lol def not that good of bho mine was much more impressive visually.
here is what i showed him

Where does one find those little boxes or ones like them?
The oil looks good, but b/c there are bubbles there is still a miniscule amount of tane left in there. Easily removed by the carefull application of heat. If you are purging using boiling water, try a flat electric griddle, it is much easier to maintain a warm temp on the glass and they only cost about $40.
BTW if your BHO is still sticky it still has some 'tane left in it. if you leave it in the open for a few months it won't be sticky anymore (well, at least on top).
But if you get it into a semi-solid form, it breaks up easily just like normal hash, and doesn't stick to your container as much.i dn if id agree with u there sput cant say stickyness has anything to do with whats leftover , as many oils including sc c02 that has completely zero solvents left it in it is quite quite sticky
ur just talking about dehyrdating the oil which has minimal longterm affects on purging whatever is left, pretty much get the same out with a proper purge done ur better off leaving it gooey imo, smokes way easier, if the residual tane is a concern vac purge it
Yeah, like two year old pine tar IMO. I would think they mean more on the side of the viscosity of glass versus sugar water.ganja- I concur...ive talked with some chemists who say properly low temp purged oil should be almost viscous at room temp...so id imagine pretty sticky.
I will agree that essential oils are sticky, but I must contend that the process that many people use to make BHO still leaves 'tane in it, and therefore heating it longer, below the boiling point of the cannabinoids will remove more of the 'tane.
As you work the oil (yes you may be dehydrating it too), those miniscule amounts of 'tane that get trapped as the viscosity of the product increases, they simply cannot escape through bursting bubbles [unless you have some crazy ass vacuum purge on that shit, but even then you would want to add heat]. Surface tension is what prohibits the 'tane from escaping. The 'tane is not chemically bonding in anyway, it is simply trapped.
Conversely, since 'tane (or CO2) is a gas the volume/temperature curve is of great importance here in purging of the gas from the analyte, when trying to overcome that surface tension of the oil.
I guess the real heart of the matter is, that current testing can't be trusted and we are just splitting hairs here.
There is only one test that matters to me, and that is the smoke test.
Two books of interest in this discussion are:

I have since stopped research on this subject, because it wasn't going anywhere.
Just going to stick with a griddle, copper tube and a case of Vector.
