making hash from the leaves - ice cold water extraction

Hi all,
I just harvested one of my lovely female plants, its just drying out now i cant wait to smoke it after waiting patiently for so long!

I have gathered up all the trimmings, leaves and little suger leaf cut offs and using the ice cold water extraction method, I cut it all up real fine and added ice cubes, waited a while and then added cold water and waited some more, then i hit it with the blender for 10mins on and off three times. At this point I kind of winged it and I poured it into a coffee filter and let it drip into a 2ltr bottle i cut the top off (see pics)

it has 95% dripped through into a lovely amber coloured water, and left behind a mouldy green gook in the filter and some water at the end. My question is this: What do i do from here? I assume the trichomes were successfully filtered through the coffee filter and into the bottle? Can i just evaporate the water off and leave the hash behind? Would it be possible to just leave this under my HPS light for 12hours and collect the hash, or would that degrade the THC? What do you guys normally do? Would it be best to leave this in the hot water closet overnight or on top of a radiator?

Thanks in advance guys, this site has helped me alot through out my grow!!
much love:weed:

First off, don't put it under your light, as that will degrade the THC. Best way is to put it in a wide dish (13x9) and have a fan blowing over it.

how long do you recon it would take to evaporate off the water.
I assume this would just be a cool breeze blowing over the water as opposed to any heat which would degrade the THC.
Would this go bad or anthin if i left it lying around for a few days
