Greetings, quick question. And i apoligize if its been asked already. But, i know someone who has been having mite probs. they harvested, but there are those little red mite eggs and some webs here and there through their buds. Would this stuff be legit to do something like making bho?

If after you extract the BHO, you will winterize it in ethanol and then after filtering out the waxes, filter down through 0.2 micron syringe filters, you will take out all the bits and pieces, including the bacteria in the mites feces.

Thanks! That is definitely the right direction. I don't really know anythign about the proper fittings for gas lines. What would I need to get to connect an n-butane tank directly to that tube with a gastight seal.

sr verde, i'm tired of paying for the actual cans. It creates so much waste, and jamming a can into one end of your tube is really inefficient.

Might as well add a few pics of recent personal batches i've ran. Everything is blasted and purged at low temps. Each batch tastes and smells just like the plant it came from.. No boo boo here..Straight fire.

OG Blend (Triangle Og,Faceoff Og,Tahoe Og) Pulled before it waxed up.

Nice 11g nectar slab. (Cherry Pie,Girl Scout Cookies)

pull n snap nectar from SPOG aka Super Pot of Gold (Super silver haze x Pot of Gold)

Some Green Crack soft wax..

Small lil chunk off a shatter patty..

Just about out of the Blueberry wax.

If you install a 1/4" male flare fitting in the top of the column, you can use a refrigeration hose to connect it to the tank. A refrigeration tank will already have a 1/4" flare fitting, and you can make a tank adaptor for an Lp-5 tank, using a propane tank nut from an RV dealer, screwed to a 1/4" male flare.

Thanks so much. what kind of fitting or valve would you recommend for the bottom so that i can control how fast the butane comes out?

That looks really nice!!
Here's a few honeycomb slabs I ran for a friend and myself a little while back..
The biggest slab was just over 40g's and was a mix of Cherry Pie,Tahoe Og,Chem 4 and B-Real Og.

Here is some oil I've been running. Trim only on this batch, still turned out excellent. This is the Sour Kush I mentioned a short while back on this thread. I'm about to go take it outside for more vacuum action.



That was a few purges back, it's been clearing up very nicely since that pic.

Ok, so I haven't heard much mention of RSO on this thread, but I'm thinking this would be a good place to start. My stepfather is dying of Leukemia and supposedly this Rick Simpson Oil is supposed to kill cancer, specifically Leukemia, when given extremely high doses of THC. I have seen other oils on the market but nothing comes close to the levels he is stating in the oil--93%THC!! from an Indica heavy strain. I have not found a dispensary in the country that carries something with those high levels. The only option is to do it myself. Me being a rookie, I am looking for the most efficient, easiest way to get that high quality of an extract.... I found a dispensary that has a lab tested Strong Indica Hybrid of 32%THC. That's the highest I've found. For extraction I was going to use something similar to the Thai ISO2 from the 70's, which I heard is an almost foolproof and very effective method. This one is The Super Flower Tower. It looks identical and is cheaper and readily available. The only thing. I can't find reviews anywhere which makes me wonder...Anyways, the patient it is for has a very low white blood cell count so I do not want to use butane or Namptha. was going to use everclear, but 99%iso might be ok......Any advise here would be helpful.flower.jpg

I challenge a test showing oil extracted by the Rick Simpson method as being 93% THC. Perhaps 93% of the area under the curve that the GC hasn't been instructed to ignore.

If we ignore the other terpenes and the solvent peak, our butane Absolutes run in the high 80's, low 90's percentiles for THC. Rick Simpson doesn't winterize his oil, so with the plant waxes still present, 93% begs some questions.

Using a reflux soxhlating extractor like the Thai ISO, with a polar solvent, will extract loads of chlorophyll and water solubles. If you are going to use a polar solvent like Iso, I would suggest a QWISO technique.

If you do get a Thai ISO, I would recommend a non polar solvent like hexane.

Hey everyone, i figured id ask my question here first and see if i can avoid starting a new thread.

Basically, i may or may not know some people who are interested in BHO, but in small batches. I mean, we are talking maybe 7-14 gs of flower or trim in, 1-3 gs of oil out...nothing too crazy, just personal use.

My question is this: what is the best purge method for small time home users like this? They are looking for a safe and affordable and quality product. Do they really need to drop about $500 on a vac and dessicator and all, or is there a more cost and time effective method for these folks, like: blast, water bath, scrape, winterize. Would something like that be acceptable? Or are there any other good methods i may not be thinking of for the small timer? Thanks a bunch! We here in the northeast are kinda still in the stone ages on alot of this stuff. So glad to see that you cats out west are getting some real work and research done. Big ups to all here at RIU!

you can easily make winterized oil.

materials needed

tube
butane
95% + ethanol
multiple sized pyrexes.
razor blades


thats the baseline for getting a nice return through the bho process. god luck man!

BUT! vac pumps/chambers speed things up. (* you can produce nice different consistencies with a vac/chamber/griddle )
