For many years I was happy to get fan leaves from a grower. An alcohol extraction yields an oil that I use at 20 doses per gram, others use it at 60 per gram. I use it in chocolates. The leaf can be ground up and used as flour, about one gram is a moderate dose. Replace 2 cups of flour with 110...

I have used reflux extractions with Everclear for years, using a 30 gal metal trash can, and often reclaim 50% or more of the alcohol. I set the can on 3 concrete blocks with a 200 watt incandescent bulb under the bottom for heat. The liquid is in a stainless bowl sitting in the bottom of...

I've been saving my blasted material too. Thought I would try an alcohol reflux extraction. I would expect a lower THC concentration, but perhaps a material more suited to sleep than intoxicating. The alcohol extracted oil isn't worth smoking with all the chlorophyll in it, but is great for cooking.

One thing to take into consideration is altitude. A lot of posters from Colorado may not realize it, but it takes less temperature with altitude to reach boiling points. I'm at 6600 feet, and water boils near 200°F, not 212°F. As a rule of thumb, any temperature used by people at sea level...

I have been doing BHO extraction outdoors, and was waiting for the fall and cold weather. I got to run a batch at 20°F, with materials and equipment having spent the night in a freezer. Doing it below freezing is safer as the evaporation is slow, plus it allows soak time in liquid butane at...

Without boiling it there aren't many options that don't require a lot of patience. Evaporation under vacuum would be quickest, at room temp or on a warm mat next fastest, and open in a self-defrosting freezer causing sublimation if you don't mind waiting, maybe one to two weeks if you can get a...

Although I make oil I mostly make chocolates with, see Fadedawg's link for extracts, an easy way to ingest is a brownie recipe. Take 2oz high grade bud, run it through a coarse-mesh kitchen screen. Then run it through a fine mesh oil-splatter screen, 12" wide and flat over a large bowl. This...

I would guess mine gets to 120°-ish. The sample wax in with the green samples you recently got, mixes well.
