HowI go about making Green Gold – Butane Honey oil extraction


Ok soI still use the original honey bee extractor that I bought fromCanada more than a decade ago. Back then the motto was “Turn yourtrash into cash” It wasn't until recently that I became aware thatsuch things as “shatter” even existed.


Ratherthan focus on producing the top quality product my goal was to usethe entire plant and not waste all that good leaf. The oil budderwas a pain to deal with. So I would grind up 7g of fine bud pereach 2 can extraction throw it in before evaporating the butane ina water bath and package in 1gm bags much easier to handle. Everyoneloved it one hit stone.


NowI'm not saying this is the best way but it's worked for me for quitesome time.

Itemsused – notice no coffee filters or parchment paper. I love the OilSlick products.



  1. coffee grinder $10-50.00
  2. Honey Bee extractor Amazon $23.00
  3. Mean Skreenz, Essential Oil Concentrate Filter: White, 5 In. Silk-screen , 55 Micron $14.95
  4. Oil Slick DUO Non-stick Concentrate Pad $9.90


Consumables -
[h=1]5xPower Butane Super Refined Fuel Gas 300 Ml or whateve 5x butane isthe cheapest. ½ can for the best quality 2 cans will get nearlyeverything out of bud trim in the original honey bee. 2[/h]
As much leaf pot as youcan scrape together. The better quality the starting material themore potent and higher volume your end product will be.


As a general rule 1 ozof trim + 2 cans of butane = 1 gr of BHO.




Safety First: - UseCommon Sense.


Every year someonemanages to catch themselves of their homes on fire while making BHO. Remember this is a pipe bomb in your hands and even the smallestflame can set it off. DO NOT MAKE
BHO IN THE KITCHEN ORFURNACE ROOM!!! the pilot lighs in these room will cause very likelycause a fire.


Always have a fan blowingthe butane away from you. I use a carbon filter to help.
It is not healthy tobreathe, burns crazy hot and intensely. fast Be Careful.


OK- on to the fun stuff


the starting product mustbe cracker dry. Remove any stems and toss, not enough thc in them tomake it worth the cost of butane to extract.


1 – Run the productthrough a coffee grinder finer is better
2 – place grounds intohoney bee. Pack so there is no air space but no super tight.
3 – run 2 cans ofbutane through the honey bee into your extraction dish.
Mod a = ½ can 1dish 1 and a can and a half can dish 2


4 – -grind up some budand use that as a binder for the oil. Much easier to smoke and a loteasier than trying to scrape every bit off. (dish 2 only)


Use a water bath nohotter than 120 degrees to encourage rapid butane evaporation, orbetter let it sit over night


5 - scrape up the goo andplace into a noo-goo container. Dish 1 you may want to let it stlonger.


5-a Dish 2 place insmall baggies or no goo container(s)


Heat, Light and Air alldegrade THC keep all away from your stash20


Enjoy!++

Definitely not impressed in anyway.

Of course its green.. ground too fine.
i grind my stuff in a coffee grinder, if you freeze it when you do this it prevents it from being green. freezing actually locks up alot of stuff you dont want

On skunkpharm they are pretty big on not breaking it up too fine.

I always freeze, dry or wet.

Personally I don't break trim/larf down smaller than happens on its own when I pack a tube.

i dont grind up trim, but on nugs i run through a coffee grinder. after i saw yoda do it i tried a side by side of a frozen ground tube and an unfrozen ground tube huge difference

Freezing sounds interesting. I'll give that a try next batch. Thanks

I'm looking forward to getting a vacuum pump & chamber but it's going to have to wait.

1 gram per oz? Is that a typo? That yeild is very low. And then you are mixing 7g of ground bud into the unpurged oil? Hmmm i dont even know where to start.

1 gram per oz is not right.

I generally add 7 grams of bud to the butane and end up with between 10 and 20 grams of green gold. impure as it is stlll a one hit stone. its also a lot easier to deal wih just put pinch on top of a bud and add flame no dapper or fancy rig required.



@ snapprovolone. Dude that link rocks!

Ok the Skunkpharm site is pretty amazing.

I was surprised that they use so much fresh flower. that would be hard to grind up even if you wanted to. I am guessing that freezing is much more beneficial when you plant material is less than cracker dry to start with. The only reason for NOT grinding that I saw was that it left to much fine in the mix that had to be removed later. I've always heard that grinding allows more material to be packed into the tube and thus a higher yield.

The idea of extracting high quality bud honestly never occurred to me.

Packing density is improved by grinding, but it also breaks more cell walls, exposing the chlorophyll and water solubles to the solvent. For bragging rights extracts, we break up fresh material lightly, and for decarboxylated oral oil, we grind it to 10 mesh.
