plaing with a lab to make pure THC from pot.

The reason the butane gas gives a very pure oil is coz when you run it down the PVC
it get's very cold so cold in fact that it freezes up the PVC pipe, and at that low temp
the bad oils are not soluble, but the thc has a high solubility in that very cold temp.

that honey oil stuff is almoast exactly the kind of finished product I was looking
for however the process has a by product which is leaves and buds which could
be recycled using the process in the thread starter to get the last bits of THC out
of what's left. After reading those links about honey oil I thought that propane would
work just as well for less money.

This is the process I thought of thus far is to take whole plants remove the buds for use as is. Then make bubble hash out of the rest after that dry the left overs and burn them in a sealed jar to trap the smoke after the smoke builds up in the jar thick enough to be worth the work. Once that's done clean the jar with PVC pipe cleaner/primer (not glue even though the cans look the same) and dry that into a hash like substance. After that take your hash and smoke to refine further with the
honey oil process. When all is said and done you should have a work of art much like
the picture above.

 

i have a better idea weed smoke in a can

 

why are you intent on doing this by burning the weed and capturing the smoke? your not picking up what we're laying down are you? if you burn the weed to make hash, you might as well be smoking it through a pipe and then scraping the resins, cause thats all your gunna be doing. and burning the weed to produce smoke destroys some of the thc, so i dont even know what your thinking man. severly stoned is right, this is a retarded idea. extremely retarded.

 

Yea... I'm curious to know why you are so set on burning the buds and allowing the smoke to condense as a means to extract the thc?

By doing this, you are destroying some of the thc and introducing tars and such. THC can easily be extracted by the chemical process outlined earlier in this thread -- without combusting the product.

 

I don't intend to burn the buds in fact as my last post mentioned the buds are good enough as they are.

 

yeah, well, your not gunna get a nice honey oil by burning any part of the plant and trying to catch the smoke. your gunna just get resin. you know what resin is right? i guess its kinda like hash, but the lowest dirtiest kind ever. still though, why are you so intent on doing this by burning it and capturing the smoke? if your gunna do it, i guess do it; but, you must not be to bright. your process has a lot of bullshit steps in it. if you want some bomb ass honey hash, take the whole plant, buds and all, and just do the butane procedure. you'll get a much much greater yield that way. just trying to help you out dude.

 

I was thinking on the money side of things I thought that you could make hash then refine it with the butane and coffee filter part of the honey oil process rather than
waisting money on butane and only getting a few mgs of honey oil from streight pot.

The burning and condenseing smoke is just an extra step to recycle the plant matter left over from making hash.

 

I was thinking that the coffee filter used in making honey oil could remove moast of
the pollen from hash that was made out of male plants thus making use of male plants as well as female ones.

 

no, your wrong. good idea, im not trying to nock you, i mean you got this real cool way of thinking, but its just wrong. the male plants have very little thc, you'll be wasting your time and money trying to do that. male plants are good for rope, canvas, lotion, all the other crap that can be made from marijuana. if you make the hash right, burning the remainder to try to salvage it will just give you a bunch of tars and crap. if your serious about doing this, just do the butane (or propane if you want, but i think butane would be better,) procedure twice. do you mind if i ask where your from?

 

Sure I'm from Chattanooga Tennessee.

 

dont listen to the haters buy some seeds online and try it thats the only way to know if it will work

much love

 

The end product is what you get in the bottom of a dirty bong yep just the same

 

you can boil weed and make thc pop's ive done it before its pretty sweet i want to be an ice cream man bud bars for everybody!!!!!!!

 

What do those ice pops tase like?

 

If you really want a product purer than butane oil, first make the butane oil, then vacuum distill it, since THC is an essential oil. Of course you're gonna have to know a little background info, which you obviously don't have.

Bottom line: people have been making THC extractions for years and years and years. They've got it down pretty well. Don't fuck with it when you don't know what you're doing.

 

man I don't have a vaccume pump like what would be needed however I know where to buy one to bad they cost so much.

 

in the literature, I have yet to find anyone that vac distilled the actives, some have vac. distilled off the solvent from a synthesis and from a simple solvent extraction. why doesn't anyone vac distill w/fractionation to get actives? I don't know. Too hard/complex I suppose, so many partial~ pressures to get a nice fraction in a unified state. I suppose that at the temp. required to get the active to come over for a regular (vac or ~no vac) distillation, other constiuents would decompose, thereby contaminating the system. I can imagine a rather complicated set up with a differentiable vacuum manifold possibly working. one would still need the
T to overcome the strong cooperative cohesivity...K*...ahh thats it, chromatography, dissolve the organic matrix containing actives, redistribute onto appropriate stationary phase and ... stuck again. what solvents to elute with, gradients. Attach CBD receptors to the stationary phase and wash out like you would for a protein. denature protein, and purify to yield nearly 100% pure CBD ligand.
