I am pretty sure the only reason to heat is to get the THC/CBN to bond to the fat molecule (butter/oil etc).

You could eat finger hash and get high.

Heat actually decomposes (breaks down) the THC molecule into it's constituents, not into some more readily assimilated form...so simmer gently on the butter.

Part of the heat thing is to turn the THCA into THC. If you could eat finger hash and get high I would think it would be because of the very large amount of THC in it to begin with. And when I say heat I mean to decarboxing (don't think I spelled that right) the weed. I've seen a couple different way's people like to do it. There's a lot more to it but I am not that good at typing to go to far with it. The butter and certain oils can be used because the molecules will stick to the fat molecules. It's basically the method of extracting them. From what I've read. They talk about the heat thing here:http://boards.cannabis.com/concentrates/82380-definitive-green-dragon-revised-updated-combined.html

How much hash do you think I would get out of 5 grams?

I know it's not much but better than getting chucked out if I can recycle it

if you had 5 grams then you started making your hash at 420pm then you would get 425 grams of hash

5-10% depending on starting material.

Here are a couple of pics first is 20 micron and the next two are what I would have thrown away as it made it past the 20 micron bag. Recovered be siphoning off, chilling again, pouring off top and filter through coffee filter, before and after pressing. Smoking a mix of the two right now.

You might be better off making "Green Dragon", It also has a good description of the decarboxylation process. (heating it to make it edible). It really is very easy, I do it but then evaporate all the liquid off and make it smokeable. I do this with my low grade hash from the larger screens also. You can do it with weed also but you have to do the decarb process to vaporize a lot of the junk off first or it will not be any good. It gets rid of the chlorophyll and other unwanted stuff so it is not just a sticky mess. I've done it several times and is really good.

Simply fucking brilliant my friend greendude. It's no wonder I enjoy hanging around on your thread!!!!!!!!! I was going to give you a +rep but they say I have to spread it around more first. So hear it is anyway!!!

im reposting something on here that i posted on my thread.....

3/4 of an ounce was the official weigh in... not taking into consideration the many buds i smoked before hand... so it was probably right an an ounce or little less ... im satisfied guys... hope we can all hang out again in the future.. wheres everyone hanging at now?? hash, 420, roll...

you need to invest 10$ for a nice case of glass jars

im tottally down for that... i hung my plant up to dry a week ago and baged them last night... if i understand it right then I must open the bag several times a day and rotate the bud around.. keep the bag in a cool, dark, and dry space to prevent any mold from occuring... am i onto the right track?

yes, if its damp dump it out and leave it one a plate for a couple hours till its not

I baged it up last night and chcked it just now (20 hrs later) and there was very little condensation in there. Just a few minutes leaving the bag open and rotating the bud around took care of it. There is no standing water in the bag but it does seem to be just a little humid in there. The bud was very crispy on the outside last night but now its starting to feel less crispy. I think this is working. If it appears over wet then I will dump it out on a plate for a few hours.

Is this how you guys do it?

If possible a day or three in paper bags between hang dry and jar. The paper helps it dry a little slower than air. It sounds as if you are too wet for cure IMO. You should definitely not have condensation in the jar/bag. When ready for cure the buds will feel very dry, but check the stem, it probably does not snap like bone dry bud, and will slowly release moisture along with stuff like chlorophyll. After 12-24 your buds will be a little softer, like too wet to smoke good, but you could if you had to... This is what you "burp" out from the jar/bag as the bud gets smooth, tastes good, smells good and color changes a little. I will add a good link in a minute:https://www.rollitup.org/harvesting-curing/120624-want-bag-appeal-curing-matters.html

I saw where someone wrote "You can always add water back if it's to dry, but you can't get rid of mold". Always best to play it safe. I'd hate to mess up some good bud after so much time and love has been put into it.

This is very true, but if you want buds that don't taste and smell like hay, once it is dry, adding water will not continue the cure for some reason. But I would rather smoke buds that taste bad than throw away moldy bud. Also I usually think that I waited too long, the buds are too dry and then after a day they are a little soft again. But if you could "see" moisture you are really asking for mold.

And like Hay duke said,you definitely don't want to have any condensation in the container or whatever you have them in. If it seems moist in the bag I would take them out for a day. The outside lighter parts dry out fast but the center takes longer. That is why they feel dry when you put them into something sealed and them feel damp again after a day. The moisture is being drawn out of the bud. The outside leaves will wick the moisture just like other things will. Your on the right track though green.

cool.. thanks guys.. I took the 3/4 oz of bud and put it in a paper bag.. even layer of buds.. and left it open in my dark closet...

hash.. you told me on one of these threads that i can keep a plant short by trimming it right... well i have some schwag seeds here that i would totally like to grow with but i have no clue what type or genetics it is... its just schwag weed that i love smokin and tastin.. if i end up using these instead of lowryder(1 or 2) seeds then i will deff need some help keeping it short..

roll.. im deff growing again
