why thank you. yeah its true when you smoke on mornings after too many edibles you cant feel the high as much. last night i used a gram of honey oil(earwax) and cooked it into some peanut butter and made sandwiches its high in fat so it worked very well. no more edibles tonight makes me eat everything like that board game hungry hungry hippos.

yeah cept they got something to eat.....

we just look at the fridge like stunned mullets for half an hour to see what else isnt in there...

isnt it funny how that thing you want always eludes you and is just out of reach... so basically ya just end up having noodles or some shit like that cos its easy...

either that or ask the missus to cook you a steak either way works fine for me... tho i prolly wont be a able to eat steak soon dammit but well see :( (mising most ma back teeth :( weed really helps me with my apptite too if i get stoned enough i can eat food a bit better cos i dont care i just want food... ma mouth hurts the next day tho

haha wow gotta say. this has been a great thread and a good read. tons of great info! im working on my first harvest now and have maybe a few more weeks till they are ready and was definitely looking into alternative methods.

of all this, a few things stuck out. cooking with the steak marinade, the alcohol tincture, and cannibutter (cause it seems the simplest and i havnt done it yet)

but anyway, a few questions tho. when i harvest, its obvious i can use the buds and trimmings, but what about the whole plant itself? stems, fan leaves, and all? i mean i have it so why let it go to waste no?

was just wondering if anyone had considered it or done it before.

with the tincture, did you have to grind up the bud before you put it in the alcohol to sit? or did you just throw it in there and soak as is?

also with the tincutre, jesture, did you ever try the larger batch? im thinking if i try this, to make a large batch, let it sit and consume a little bit at a time.....maybe even not strain it out and just let the plant sit there while the alcohol is consumed....idk not totally sure yet.

but keep up the good work, its threads like this why i came to RIU! +rep
thanks again and keep on growin:bigjoint:

ehy glad to have you along

what you want to do is make hash oil... the dark greenblack stuff
AKA Alcohol Extraction.

i cover it briefly in my first post :)

its how i used to make hash oil when i was younger.. these days its ice water hash for me :)

it works pretty good though i preffer honey oil over alcohol but you seem to get more with alcohol extraction... its just black and dont taste as good really..

its the easiest way to get a thc extract really providing you have an electric stove..

anyhoo hope that helps

I'm not sure if your questions were directed at any certain person or not, but I'll throw in my .02 anyway.

I don't use stems/ leaves/etc in my tincture. My reason for this is because I want to minimize the amount of alcohol I use. I want the thc, not the alcohol.

If you are wanting to get drunk while getting high, a more traditional green dragon may be for you. So if you go that route, you can go ahead and throw all of your weed trash into a bottle of high % alcohol and let it sit for a while. I usually make canna oil out of my weed trash, and buds for tincture.

And I grind my bud before making a tincture. I've read several different places that grinding creates more surface area, which aids in thc extraction. I have never tried it any other way, so I can't comment as to it's effectiveness.



I still intend to finish my experiment that I screwed up previously. I really want to know if preheating your bud in the oven makes a difference when you are going to be soaking it in the alcohol for a long period of time.

I got real busy with work all of a sudden, but as soon as I find some time I will get to it. At this point, I'm satisfied with my tincture method. I just want to see if it could be improved upon a little.

Mammath, how did your tincture turn out?

thanks HWC for the quick response, and no the question wasnt directed towards anyone, it was just a general question for the form. i think that sounds like a good idea, use the buds for the tincture and then the rest of the plant for the hash oil.

another question, and im sorry if this is redundent but i want to clarify, when you put the plant into the alcohol do you dry and grind that up as well? if so, it will change the way i plan to dry my plant, either as a whole without trimming, or first trim and then hang.....

Hey fellaz.

I been experimenting with tincture making of late and thought I'd share some results.
This is my first go at it so still a long way to go before I find the most effective method.
I made 2 batches, one with alcohol and one with glycerin.
I really want some strong shit so I'm using pretty good bud and lots of it.
8-9g of bud per 100ml of fluid in 200ml jars.
Here some pics and explanations of the process.

Here you see the 2 jars full of bud and fluid.
One is whisky 45% alc, and the other is food grade glycerin.
I simmer them in a water bath and keep them at 80C for about 2 hours.
I took the alcohol one out after about an hour though.
I wanted to see if this speeds up the process of extraction.
I don't want to wait 6 weeks for my shit to be ready.


After simmering the jars look like this.


Then I strain them into another jar while warm. Here's the glycerin straining.


Here's the pulp that's left behind and I check it with my scope to make sure
all trichomes have been removed.


I then tasted it and decided it wasn't strong enough so I added another 3g or so of mulled up bud.


I then repeat the process of simmering and straining and end up with this.
100ml of very golden, very potent, THC liquid.


Final step is to pour it into a 25ml eye dropper bottle for easy consumption.
I usually take 1ml at a time.


The alcohol one I left for another week and it ended up not too bad potency wise.
Would be better with a stronger alcohol I think.

The glycerin is so sweet it's unbelievable it actually taste like sugery trichomes.

The effect is not like smoking at all really. It doesn't get you high but it does get you stoned. Nice relaxing stone.

Next batch I'll try heat treating the bud before using it and see if it makes a difference to the results.

Cheers :peace:

nice the other day for fun i took a gram of bho (butane hash oil) and cooked it into some peanut butter and made a sandwich which i ate at night worked well but the next day i was still stoned not the worst side effect but a little less would be best.

Can you give us a quick run down on how you put together your canna peanut butter mate? eg cooking times and quantities.

well sure i will try. to be honest i just through everything together i just took the gram of bho which is as you probably know is more potent than other hash and dissolves easy and got maybe 2 or 3 tablespoons of p.butter and very quickly with some water. simmered it on the stove on low heat until all was mixed thoroughly it worked well. i have made other edibles before but was more precise in my efforts anyways p.butter is high in fat and works well evidently.

Yeah thanks mate for that.
Cooking with the BHO is probably always going to produce better results because of it's potency. I'll have to make some.
How much BHO do you get from a zip of bud?

I just brewed up some canna milk on the recommendation of Don Gin and Ton.
Got me feeling pretty good :hump:
2g of bud simmered into 50ml of milk for 15 mins. Goes nicely in an espresso.

my views

i have made/been making hash basically every different way there is since i was 12/13 years old

my final conclusion is that bubble bags make the best hash and gumby hash if you do it right.

i agree honey oil is the best out of the two oil extractions. though alcohol will seem to give you more butane hash looks better and in my oppinion tastes better.

a good trick for oil is to keep some of your mash (what your using to make it ie: buds leaf etc.) grind it to a powder and rub it through the oil.. if done right it will give it a hash like consistancy making it more madageable:)

these are my oppinions.
check out my thc percentages link and you may understand what i mean.

just because they class it as more pure thc doesnt mean its better. hey have a pretty poxy way of working shit out lol.

i mean look how many people preffer hash. but i guess this is a two sided coin after all and these are just my views. remember im the first to admit im wrong about heaps of shit though people lol.

Hey Jest'

Here's a link where I got the idea http://www.letfreedomgrow.com/recipes/glycerine_tincture.htm

There are also another glycerin tincture thread here on RIU, https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/17359-how-make-thc-drops.html it's a real long one but I've done the time.
In conclusion it effects everyone differently.
If you got the time have a read.
I think by heating it improves the extraction greatly.
Plus glycerin is cheap and you can buy it at the supermarket.

I think extracting THC by combining fats like butter, milk, veg oil, is still the best stone from edibles though. Sugar based alcohols will work but not as good as fatty foods mixed with a bit of heat.

But lets keep experimenting and trying new things hey?
