First Wax Run - Is it done?

Hey everyone, This is my first try with wax. I've been interested in making it for years but stayed away thinking it was too complex and I like to follow the KISS method when it comes to about everything but I just got tired of paying high prices for the stuff so I thought I'd invest in what I need and take some time to learn and get it right. I picked up a Vacuum Oven from Craigslist (got really lucky) and a 3CFM vacuum pump along with an extraction tube and a few other gadgets (I will post my toys soon) Anyway, I made this. It looks pretty good, smells great and I think it is done/close to but I'm not sure because it's not a lighter tan color throughout. Does it need to be? or could it just be the strains I used to make it keeping it dark? Please let me know your thoughts on this as I plan to make many many more runs in the future and also want to try making shatter in the near future. Thanks for your help and input

Looks done. If you grind up your material too small it can "green" or darken the wax. Indicas usually make a darker wac. You freezing the tube of weed before extracting?

I did not freeze. I've been wondering about this, should I freeze my trim immediately or dry it then freeze it? What do you recommend when it comes to prepping the trim?

And yes, I did blend the trim up pretty fine. Next run I won't "grind it down" so much. The trim was a mix of several strains: chem dawg, jillybean, berry bomb and a few other hybrids that are more indica.

thanks for the quick response and help

Dry and freeze. This helps lock in any remaining moisture and chlorophyl/water solubles.

Enjoy!

Thanks again Snaps!

What temperature did you purge at?

Vac Oven was set at 130. Started low to find the melting point then gradually raised it till it started to wax
