Runny Dark Honey Oil HELP

Me and a buddy made some BHO yesterday. We have made it before and it has turned out excellent, nice annd thick and dark gold. But this time was different. It seemed like we were going to get a fat yield this time. But it turned out the oil didnt end up thickening. It turned almost black, when sitred you can see the gold within. The only thing we did different was bust are buds in the blender, which is why we thought we would have gotten more. It wont boil down anymore it seems like there is no butane in it. What do you guys think? It seems like there is water in it but i have no idea how that much could get in. Also we were using seed weed and we busted those withy it too.
 
well first seems like its not fully purged and also dark as in black oil is crap. Stir it until hardens then give it away if its black as that shit is not smokable.

Dissenting opinion. I've smoked very dark extract. Imo the color is cosmetic. Sure; pale oil is pretty, but the dark stuff'll get you there and has no health problems. cn

Sounds like you ended up extracting more chlorophyll and plant waxes by more finely grinding the material. When I run buds for bho I do one run with the buds broke up to popcorn size then completely break up and run again.

I have to agree with the chlorophyll. You run it thru twice? I've never heard that before.

Ive had GREAT shatter that was black, i know its rare but i just got the same thing as he was descibing, when frozen it looks like nice black shatter and at room temp it still stays hard but not like usual shatter, and if you whip it a lil it turns dark brown and is very gooey and almost stringy when twirlin on dabber. Is it just OIL or is it just poorly made shatter? It tastes pretty damn good and gets me blasted but its def not like anything ive ever seen from dispens. It did at first when it was colder but then as it got to room temp it got more gooey.


Another Question- Supposed to be sum budda from like 3 diff strains but its def a lil greenish, never ever see n green oil and its way more gooey than above and def not shattery but more buttery until room temp and turns very gooey. But my problem is when i dab it to my ti nail it leaves a lot of residue left behind, not just lil black on bottom of skillet but leaves like a thick layer or a clump of residue which ive never ever seen nor had before. What cud this be and is it bad? Ive heard bout neem, nail not being hot enough but nail was def hot enough and people using pvc pipes instead of glass to blast.... Any ideas please let me know if i should throw this one out or what? Thanks alot

The one from your second paragraph sounds like an overaggressive extraction to me ... probably using an alcohol. It's impure, and the impurities are a pain, but i don't think there's a problem with health or effectiveness. Does the char burn off, or does it leave an ash? cn

no it leaves a lot of residue and almost looks like charcoal, i dunno what u mean by char but it def doesnt turn to like grey ash or ash at all cuz if i move it around while nail is still hot it still smokes, almost like it clumps up to one side of nail. Thanks tho, lmk what u think. So is it still safe to smoke or no, its kinda got a green tint and almost looks like lead or particles cud be in it or they used to big of filter or mesh screen when blasting, i dunno

It's safe ... after all the single ingredient was weed. But maybe you don't get your nail very hot. Heat it to bright red once in a while to burn off the char, is my advice. cn

I smoke by dabbin it on a super red hot ti nail, i been dabbin for long time n never came across shit like this maybe its ISO made n not BHO cuz it sounds more like ISO made to me but i also vape it using a dab pen n using that i cant tell if any residue is left in pen but it still gets me ripped.

The oil should be safe. I'm almost sure it is because you blended the material. Although your yield will increase doing so, you are sacrificing precious quality in doing so. If you just break the nugs into tiny little popcorn nuts, they will be small enough for the butane to fully saturate and extract the THC, giving you good yield, but they will not be small enough to allow the butane to extract plant matter and chlorophyll as well.
Yes, some oils do automatically gain a tint to the color from strain to strain, but it is obvious when the color alteration is due to a strain difference, or impurities in the oil.
The oil will just probably leave resin on a nail if you are dabbing it. It will taste worse and unpure dabbing as well as flavor and smell are lost to all the impurities in the oil. In a vape pen it is less noticeable when it is crappy oil, but none the less... still crappy.

yup your exactly right, i didnt make it just someone got way to much thinking it wud be better or what we usually get... top shelf shit. im trying to make tinctures with some of the bad green colored shit that leaves tons of residue and sum of black oil just using glycerine. Any suggestions or ways to make not using alcohol or olive oil? but the black stuff doesnt leave nearly ass much residue if any, i think its just straight poorly made and refined ISO oil which we never get here, only wax and shatter from raado but this is def shitty CA ISO. Thanks

Concerning the residue it could be very small particles left in the oil from grinding, and as far as it being liquid it may be crap in the butane that is left over like oils. I typically do not use a processor but break apart buds by hand as I do get crap in the oil if too refined. Also I have had BHO turn green after I tried to soften it up in micro wave, not sure why, and never did it again.

sorry to bump an old thread, I'm having the same problems... runny liquid bho from 3/4 low quality trim and 1/4 high quality trim/popcorn.

has the consitency of that oil they have in the syringes or something. very confused... I haven't made oil since around 2010 but haven't made anything remotely like this before...

might have plant material in it if its green and theres chunks after you vaporize it...
also, I wonder if there is any correlation between sappy extracts and blending it too much. ie, running your material through a blender before you run it...
that and the temperature/humidity of where the extraction occurs must play some role in how the final product is.
butane quality -
butane quality -/ purity -
yeah butane quality is a big thing here too. go for stuff like purtane or newport, its worth the extra money.
how was it purged?
