Extraction Another solventless extract attempt ?!?

Okay,its tuesday night.. The buds had quick dried under a fan and when i looked at them under a 100x loupe there was still heads and stalks on the bud.. Soooo ,i figure why not run it again but differently... Since the water did not pull the chlorophyll and tirn the water green,i'll leave it for 24 hours,and shake the jar four more times for 1 minute at different intervals.. It is 8:30pm my time,and i will strain this 24 hours from now...

the buds tightened up a bit and this is the same amount that was in the two jars at the start

shaken not stirred... More tomorrow
 
Oh man, this is insane! Water, really, water what next? I love it man, something new to try. Im outta town and haven't been able to get on much. But i will be looking for the results tomorrow.

Hmmm,i have an idea!!!! I have time to load up some dry ice hash and also the "shatter" that came from this run,heres the thought,, the 11.5 water should dissove the wax patty... And the 11.5 water should dissovle the dry ice hash into a shatter... Damn am i stoned or what... Ill be back with more pics for a bigger experiment...hot damn,here we go!!

Alright guys the "purge" is in process for this solventless extract experiment.. Since this is using water as an "agent",this is safe to do indoors lets roll thru some pics and descriptions and we will see how the final return compares with some of the other processes View attachment 714892this was the jar this morning with olive oil..oh oh!?! The oil has pooled back togetherView attachment 714891these are quart size jars,i chose not to chop the bud. Its an experiment and i didnt want the fine particles to breach the filterView attachment 714894the buds were frozen overnight to minimize chlorophyll pickup( maybe a moot point since the water was not chilled)View attachment 714893 gotta have a cuppa!! I think the cup would look better with an AW/AFN Logo.. Hmmmmm....View attachment 714895 filters soaked in the 11.5 water to reduce the filter from "soaking up any extra oil".. The buds were covered and shaken for approx 1 minute each then poured into the filtersView attachment 714896 may be hard to see in this pic but i had a few filter failures and had to refilter a few times View attachment 714897the water is poured thru the fine steel mesh into the filters,at this point it was a wait for the last filter to empty outView attachment 714898this is what i call filter hash and since this was a water extract,its prolly similar to a "bubble hash" extract if the 11.5 water did not dissolve the husk of the triches to get the oil out..i will collect and smoke this and give a reportView attachment 714900the liquid is now on a double boil/water bath to stabilize the temp and evap the waterView attachment 714901the temp here is in the range for the best terp and flavor if this was an eth extract this would be perfect,since its water and a first attempt i will take the temp to about 120F .... Nothing left to do but wait... Another update soon.....
Hey budelee wicked kewl experiment.
I have no scientific knowledge but I do know a double boiler when I see one. You need water in the pan under your expimental pan, to be a true double boiler. Without water, the heat you're getting is just being transferred from the metal rings.

This is exciting. Way to go, ya pioneer!

Oh ya..definately dont let the wayer run out or too low.. It took so long to purge i had to refill the pan three times..... Okay heres where we are now
image.jpeg
the wax is just about dissolved already,, the DIH was 220 and its not looking too good..
image.jpeg
The 220mic stuff was already green so i dont have high expectations from it.. But i do have lots of dry sift and other hash grades from 45 mic to 220.. Now i just have to work on the home pH'd water taken to 11.5!!!! More soon!!
 
I was referring to these pics.

Looks like no water. You added after pic, I guess.
Oh.. Ya that was before i started.. There has been a few times ive ran the pan dry,over the years..that sucks,, ive also over dried and overcooked..damn ive almost wrecked some stuff,but theres always other processes to "bring it back" to a usable product.. I cover alot of that,with the communities help, in my eth thread.. Extracting and HST are my relaxation...
 
The dust is starting to settle and a filtering will happen this evening

heres the two.. The "silt" is at the bottom and hopefully another filtering will clean this up more..

the buds "soaked up" the water and i had to add some more water...
