I was wondering today why most people don't make hash oil instead of hash. theres an average of about 2-8% (with as high as 20%) THC in hash, and hash oil is like 15-25% with as high as 50% or more THC. I'm guessing it's that smoking hash oil is harder to do than smoke hash, since oil is kind of runny.
I make oil that's hard like candy, easy to break up and put back into a ball full of creamy colors. Oil has higher yields. Bubblebags have never given me more than like 8% of the weight of trim in yield, when oil usually gives me 15% or more, if the shake is frosty. And properly made, it blasts you into space. I don;t know why not much people smoke it. The taste is the only thing missing in oil, and the sweet smell.
hash oil is NOT runny. its very, very viscous usually, even high quality stuff. i've made and consumed oil with terrific results. however it didn't keep well for me and lost potency very rapidly. i suppose keeping it under cool, airtight conditions would help with that. but the yield is low, its hard to work with, even easier to get ripped off on, and it isn't as "sturdy" as pot or hashish. also, it is still a liquid even if it's very thick, and its definitely very sticky. its not good for commercial purposes because a lot of it could potentially be lost to various things it touches and sticks to, little by little.
Well even the people who buy weed and make their own hash from it, still only make hash most of the time. If I was in the situation where I could make a bunch of weed into hashish, oil would be my first idea. Not to mention it's WAY easier to make.
Very very high quality oil is sticky and all. It is yellow and transparent. But if you lower a bit the potency, it starts to have the texture of glass, plastic or hard candy. Very interesting tones of color and overwhelmning potency.Not sticky. Then if you still lower, comes the black and viscous oil you get sometimes on the street. This is too much plant nasties in it.
Well you can make bomb hash using just water, so I wouldn't want to introduce chems into the extraction. This is my main reason for not being concerned with oil.
I'm trying to make hash oil with weed and isopropyl alcohol. I powdered the weed and am currently soaking it in the alcohol, after 20 mins the alcohol was already really green, so I think its working. Im only using a gram of weed though, just as a test, I think I may try to thicken it with some cocoa powder... mmm chocolate hash
DONT THICKEN IT WITH ANYTHING! I smoked a joint with some chocolate sprinkled in it once and it just totally killed my throat and smelled and tasted like shit. It doesn't melt, it just burns.
my dear .....try this..... Put your material in a mason jar, and add alcohol, then shake like a madman , for not more than 2 minutes! If you are using shitty stuff, 45 seconds will do the trick. Then you filter the liquid through a cofee filter or a bubblebag or whatever fine screen, so it drops on a plate. Then let evaporate in air, or use your mind to find a heat source which will facilitate evap! Be careful, iso alcohol is very volatile! Then when theres no more liquid, take the plate and scrape the thin film and put into a ball. You will be very interested by the results, i swear! People will call it hash though, it looks more like it, and its much easier to handle I guarantee you a very good oil product, which can be golden and hard like candy. It's the stuff. The thing is that shaking speeds the extraction and if you do it more than 2 minutes, vast part of the thc (what you want) has gone in the alcohol, and more shaking just gets nasty stuff you don't want, sugars, chlorophyle etc, that will make the oil black, sticky an yeah, oily . Bad bad, I tell yo! At overgrow its one of the big oil techs along bho *if you use cofee filter to separate alcohol from plant, try to get the less pot as possible in the filter with the alcohol!*
so lets say you use 50 grams of pot. How much yield will you get out of this. How potent is this. Is this called Hash? Sorry im new Also can you use the leaves as well in order to get any remaining THC crystals off?
This is very potent, more potent than any hash you can find on the streets, ....You know, your friends around that smoke weed a bit and hash, if they tell you theyve smoked better stuff, they are probably lying It's not called hash though it looks like it...And you can use the leaves of course. Though you have to understand what you want is not the crystals, its the oil inside of them. If you have lots of bud you can use...well 50 grams should give you about 10 grams. alot better than the yield with bubblehash. If you use only trim, you can still get a very good product...for very frosty trim, 2 minutes is aright. For average frostiness , 1m30 of shaking, and for stuff that don't have lots of visible crystals, 1minute shake does the trick. See this pic shows good product. From overgrow.
Ya in the end I just scraped it up and put it on weed, it was pretty stiff stuff, and like a golden brown color.
I read somewhere how to make budder out of ISO hash oil, you know the stuff from vancouver supposadly tested %99.7 THC. It looks kinda like penut butter and from what I hear it simply is ISO hash oil with every last bit of ISO boiled out of it. after smoking oil for a day I ussually feel like a retard.
The problem with it being 99.7% is that there are other chems that are isopropanol soluble, with a percentage being much larger than 99.7%.
There's nothing you can get that's 99.7%. You would have to purify a less potent product and you would lose so much with a complicated chemical process.. I always budder my iso oil or else it tastes liek shit! But budder isnt more potent, its just a more smoker friendly texture and better taste. I think theorically, it will be less potent, cuz buddering makes microscopic air bubbles in your shit.
I see, ya I jus read somewhere that it has been tested in its %90 somewhere. But from what I hear BHO has a better effect than budder does anyways. I hear budder is too much of a heady high and no body high .
