To make a basic solvent-extracted 'hash' from dried leaves or dried buds: Take dried marijauna and crush it up into a fine powder. Put the powder in a jar with 100% pure Isopropyl alcohol, so the alcohol covers the powder. Soak in a dark place for anywhere from a couple of hours to a few days. Pour the mixture through a screen onto a glass plate. A fine kitchen strainer or gold coffee filter work well. Evaporate the liquid carefully. This can be done either by letting it sit out in a warm place or by heating it up. If you're going to heat it, be careful: it's flammable. Do it someplace with good ventalation, preferably near a kitchen exhaust fan that blows outside. A fan blowing over the top of a pan will speed evaporation, but can increase risk of fire. Please Note: If alcohol or any flammable solvent is used, a fire extinguisher should be on hand, there should be consistent ventilation to keep fumes from building up, and open flames should be avoided. If heat is to be used, electric burners are far preferred. In a pinch, damp towels can be used to suppress flames on a pan, a metal pan lid to fit tightly over the pan being used, or a bucket of water. Even a spark from an electric fan can cause a fire and could result in a primitive flame jet. Scrape up the tar with a razor blade or spatula. Try to choose a pan or bowl that won't be harmed by a razor (glass?). If it is too sticky, add a little dry powder till it attains the consistancy of silly putty. Work it over and over. This seems to make it bind together. Practice makes perfect. Use in any way you'd normally use hash! This is better than any imported hash I've ever found. Burns slow at a low temp, so I think you get more THC. It makes a little pot last longer. I know people who go through a half an ounce weekly smoking the bulk material, a quarter will last a week if extracted. A different high altogether, light and trippy. Kind bud makes a gold tar and is SOOOO sweet!!! Personally, im willing to try this method, in fact lst night I rubbed my bud (and she liked it) and then i rubbed my pot using the goldscreen coffee filter deal and i got this super fine powder, is that what Im looking for?
it works, but you wanna shake it for NO MORE than 2 minutes, any more and your extracting plant sugars along with it, like chlorophyll n such. Jus soak and shake for 2 minutes, filter and let evaporate.
Yeah with this method you can make golden hash that looks like chewed bubblegum. Its pretty oily but is fairly consistant... That's if you shake the hell out of it in 2 minutes or less. make a new smoker try this and he'll think you've poisoned him or sometn
so when i throw it in a jar, do I shake it in the jar for 2 mins then take it out immed, strain it and evaporate? what if i cant get 100% isoprophynol ? will like, 80% do? I gather my bud, just plain bud, crush it by hand? or should i blend it? And also, I got this powder, lemme take a pic and put it up here, i rubbed the bud over the gold strainer and got this powder, hold on:
You can use as low as %50 ISO alcahol, jus more water and a longer evap time. Dont keep triim in longer for 2 minutes. Hold on Ill get a link to the guy whos good at this at Overgrow, its got pictured instructions n all. makes it nice and simple. EDIT: Ok its http://www.overgrow.com/edge/showthread.php?t=495856 . Should help ya out some and explain exactly how to get good potent hash oil.
you;re very helpful weedman! this picture is blurry but its the clearest i could get. its a fine fine green.white powder...
Looks good. Try going for a blonde powder than completely melts when it gets heated with a ligher. That will get you the most potent high.
