I have been blown up as well, by LP which is very similar in properties to butane. I was at work, not making oil. It's not fun!
My cousin blasts BHO and I think for what it's worth, if done right the end result is right there with perfectly done water extraction (higher yield though). The whole decarboxylation process is critically important and a pain in the ass, but you can't skimp it is the difference maker.
QWISO or similar erl is on par with the BHO in terms of yield, and the flavor is there too but this is the difference IMHO. The flavor seems to degrade faster in this method. I would argue that you wont have it around long enough to experience this effect. ;)
My $.02 is that the safest & easiest way is QWISO or alcohol extraction, will get you the yield you miss with the water extract but save you the expense and danger that you face with the BHO.
Hey cowboy how's it going.

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it. Your right about the decarboxylation being very important from what I understand. This is going to be like "making hash oil 101" for me lol. Pretty clueless about the whole process, need to pick pops brain too.

Like your last sentence cowboy, think that's what I'll do. Of course now I don't have any trim laying around. That doesn't happen very often haha, or much for buds either. A little trim from a bunch of lowers that I trimmed off of the cindy the other day, not sure if it would be enough to even warrant an earl run with

My son and his girlfriend just left a little while ago, shmoking a couple bong of the Cindy right now. Even taken a 6 wks it gets you damn high lol. He borrowed my rig for the day, he has a place about 3 hours away that he does his recording at and today he has gone down to finish his album. Don't see him this stoked too often, I was a good dad and filled up the tank for him :).

I have some of the songs on cd just haven't figured out how to transfer them so I could play them here

.....flowers are coming up, grass is starting to turn green. Woke up to a few inches of snow this morning. Poor mans nitrogen lol. About half of it has melted already. Good!

My nephew hasnt made any BHO since, but he only grows outdoors, so idk what this winter after harvest will bring.
I hope he doesnt do it, but at least he knows the dangers of using butane while high.

I'm on day 2 of week six so I'm right about the same time as y'all, around day 36.

I'm thinking of throwing that early Apollo from mutt hydro attempt in the bowl. It was taken way early so unsure if it'll do anything. I need a picker upper with some energy. I took some flexeril 14 hours ago and I'm still a stoned zombie

Had a dream last night where I put a hole in the back of my closet when I was mad. Found a hidden room with a grow light and Ziploc full of seeds. Strange dream. Couple months back I got the noid dreams one night, two different dreams off getting busted

Hi my name is HC and I'm a 2 pot/day coffee drinker ;)

That's what I do voidman lol. Not the best cycle to be in but not the worst either and it's working for me. The Cindy is a good picker upper strain too as is the apollo

You got your entire flowering garden at day 37 bassman? Going to be knee deep in buds over at your place in a couple of weeks lol. Just let us know, we'll be over.
Yeah poor planning on my part, and will have to halt any further flowering to dry it all since there will be lots.
The buds this round are small from several errors and experimenting with new ferts and no meters

I believe decarboxylation is only important when dealing with topicals and edibles. Basically heat is needed to convert thca to thc. When taking topicals and edibles that were cooked without heat, you are simply ingesting thc-a. When dealing with hash that will be smoked, you can skip the decarboxylation as it occurs when you apply heat during smoking.

I would combine the alcohol and butane methods. You use the butane to extract thc from plant material and use the alcohol to help the butane evaporate from the hash.

Alcohol is polar meaning it will extract water solubles like chlorophyll and plant alkaloids. This is why the exposure time or wash time (15 seconds or so) is so low. Butane is mostly non polar and will not extract the water solubles . Yield will be lower when dealing with BHO because it is more pure. Using alcohol mixed with the extracted hash and butane will create a better end product.

And then there was one haha.

Can't have three chicks without getting into trouble so last night I got rid of two of them. One by choice (the therapist), the other one was the ex, we kind of had it out last night but that's ok, good riddence. She came over last night to hang out but wigged out by the thought of another woman in my bed so we parted ways after she said I was going to have to buy a new bed ha. Shit I bought that one for her and it was not cheap over 4 grand so I guess she considered it her bed. Yeah she's fucking nuts.

Soooo what I have left is the hot blonde that's a few years younger than I and lives just a couple of miles away. Doing lunch with her today at a fancy restaurant. She's another one with expensive taste, going to need to start getting bigger harvests lol ;)

Lol HC. There's a reason exes are exes :) Hopefully she's not gonna narc on you now that you're cutting her off, but like you said she has reasons not to :) Gotta always worry with crazy though :)

Fancy and expensive tastes... I smell future problems :) Enjoy while it lasts :)
