Well, I did some more research after I posted this question and it seems like making hash with the males are a no go. I read where it gave some people bad headaches.

I did some research on using male leaves. Male plants dont make hash oil that will
get you high.

Quick question....Once you've strained everything through the coffee filter, does the remaining pulp have any use or are we only interested in the strained liquid?

I made some really nice oil with both the butane and isopropol method a few months back. In both cases I had a big issue gathering the oil up out of my container after the liquid(butane/isopropol) had disolved. Have you come across this problem? If so how did you go about solving it. I see you used a metal container, that may be the key as mine was plastic.

Also a little trick I discovered to help the butane and isopropol disolve faster was to put the container with the oil alcohol mixture in a pot or bucket with really warm water, speeding up evapouration. WHen using butane the container needs to be removed before all the butane has been evapourated though as bubbles appear in the oil (which I feel may be filled with butane).

Well, you just removed the oils and most of the THC or "goodie" so I tossed it.

I used a stainless steel mixing bowl and it worked great. I situated the strainer over it and let it drip. I tried heating my bowl in wamr water some to speed up evaporation and then I read somewhere not to do that. Just be patient.

I wanted to add, if you do this right, use female shade leaves, follow the instructions and even add a little bud top to it, you're going to get some potent stuff. IF smoked properly, you can see colors, squiggley wavey stuff and get dizzy enough to pass out. You'll think you are a sofa.!!! or glued to it !!!!

rose man, at the end of the month i'll be harvesting my two plants, and i'm thinking i'll only keep the bigger buds to smoke, but use all the trim and a lot of the smaller popcorn buds to make hash

but
now after reading this, i think the oil would be a lot more reasonable to make... my plants and leaves look nice and crystally too so hopefully a decent yeild of the oil too!!!

i think i'll be asking your advice, along with videomans, later on!

the bubbles are butane evaporating. if it bubbles there is still butane in it. i let mine sit for 2 days. it gets crystally and turns into a thick oil when scraped. sometimes it turns white. i just made this batch about 3 days ago.
