((that is a good way to utilize leaf/trim, bro'g. I have made a good amount of it in a very similar way. If you're useing 'just' leaf, and plant matter without any fear of losing trichomes.
Try doing a soak in water for several hours, prior to the alcohol soak. Water will extract much of the chlorophyl and soluable sugars, makeing for a l'il better quality, final product. And since thc is not water soluable, no loss of potency.
Water wash, drain, dry, then the alcohol wash.))
i read this on another grow forum... is this true???
