Looking for simple and easiest way to get some sort of oil for edibles
Make bubble hash and squish to rosin.
No. Itâs actually much faster and easier than drying and trimming.
Crockpot, water and oil, and a strainer for edible oil.
A set of bubble bags and ice for bubble hash.
Dry ice hash is even faster.
Can I do this a way so home wonât wreak?
Iâve done a lot of BHO but look into green dragon extracts. I found that exceedingly easy and it was a big hit with the locals.
All I see is products they sell
The crockpot and oil thing does have a pretty strong smellâŚespecially at first. Unsure if thereâs a way around that. I will caution you to wear gloves when handling the oil/weed slurryâŚit will absorb through skin and you can get very very high. I been there.
The real trick to it, is to use oil and twice as much water in the crock pot. After it has cooked for a good 8+ hours, let it get to room temp, and put the crock pot in the fridge overnight. The coconut oil or butter will harden and form a thick layer on top that can be skimmed off, and much of the bitter green taste and plant material will end up in the water which you discard.
Repeating this step again with the resulting oil and more water will clean the oil of additional impurities and it will taste much more neutral and less like skunky hay.
Asssume I could put it all into mason jars and crock pot those. Help w smell
ThatâsâŚactually a great idea are you sure youâre new to this haha? Or maybe a sous vide bag or something.
I do it a few different ways. Bubble is good. It doesnât smell but itâs labour intensive.
If Iâm feeling really lazy I put shake into the 160u bag and shake it over a newspaper. Takes 5 minutes.
Tincture I dunno.
Butter you can do boil in a vacuum seal no smell.
I have a sous vide thatâs where I got the idea. Itâs how I make my crème burlee sous vide in mason. Asssure ya this is my first go.
Iâm just trying to make oil to make edibles⌠prob coconut oil and ground Bud in cheese clothe in mason jars into pressure cooker or sous vide would be my best betâŚâŚ
God so many pollinated plants. Glad other tents ok they should all be coming down soon. Then I can pop all the stuff you OGers were kind enough to send
Vernal whatâs your process for dry / cure
I canât find it either. What you do is get some ethanol 90% or better. Bacardi 151 works too. I canât buy it in my state so I order it online.
You dry the product as much as possible, grind it up pretty good and fill a mason jar. Throw it in the freezer. Put the alcohol in the freezer too, leave them both overnight.
Then pour the alcohol into the product to cover. Shake well, and throw it back in the freezer. Every hour or so, shake it and put it back.
After a few hours, strain the liquid out, put in top of a double boiler and boil it down. Itâs really that simple.
You can do two passes to get the most out of your bud.
Hang whole plants for 10-15 days depending on airflow and humidity.
Trim them dry and jar for a week or two and they are good to go. Open the jars every day or close to that to ensure they arenât too moist and thus a mold risk.
Some people let them get cracker dry where they turn almost into a powder if you break up the bud but I prefer them a bit moister and stickier. My weed will stick to walls.
Yeah but thatâs just because you donât clean your walls.
Definitely donât overdry it. Should stick to the inside of the bag. People are losing so much flavor with that cracker dry stuff.
Maybe thatâs why my first plant in cannatrol doesnât smell well maybe I overdried it. Or maybe just strain. Hoping next chop is better smelling
Do you trim at all when you hang or leave all leafs on? Even fan
You can deliver premature babies in my house; itâs so clean.
The adderall helps a lot haha.
Nope just whole plants. But I also defoliate fan leaves throughout flower, so by harvest there arenât really a ton left.
