Well its my own fault for sure. I couldnt realy see the back side of the plant untill I pulled her out of the closet for harvesting.

awwww hexane is the fucking waaaay to go waaaaaaay clean. the oil should come out real golden. and yes it can be added to butter to cook with but i dont know if you would wanna do that. some would b e sketchy to eat something that involved hexane at one time

Hexane is the number one way of making cheap non pressed olive and garlic oils. It evaporates away completely. Besides how is smoking any better then ingesting? lol

i never said i would be sketchy i know hexane is clean thats why its more expenisve
What do you think was the culprit...
Lack of air circulation?
Humidity too high?
Very sorry to see that happened, BTW

There was plenty of air circulation but humidity was left unchecked. I also had misted the bottoms of my fan leaves a few times becuase I was affraid I had underwatered. Totaly preventable, Live and learn

For making the oil you want your bud as dry as possible. The more moisture you have in the mix the greener the oil will be. Green oil means that some of the plant material is in the mix as well as THC. THC dissolves in alcohol and all the other shit dissolves in water. I read somewhere that it has to do with polar and non-polar particles, but to explain simply: Less moisture=Good.

let it dry COMPLETELY leaves and all,then you do the leaves and the buds and voila after the hexane dissipates you will have concentrated thc for your consumption

Alcohol is semi polar and will dissolve a lot of the "other shit" as well. but anyways Ive got a nice drying box set up w/ fans and a 2 pound bag of silica crystals. Should be dry in a few days.
I did toss the fan leaves out but I didnt trim the buds real close sense its all going in the coffee grinder.

If I where you, I would be cutting all the moldy bits out NOW, if you don't the mold will spread to the entire bud.
