I - Dry bio-mass to where it can be powdered easily.
II - Place bio-mass in a GLASS or PYREX container (I like the 3L Carlos Rossi jugs)
III - Cover bio-mass with non polar solvent (hexane, heptane, chloroform or VM&P naphtha. do a google search for specific on each and where to get. I use the naphtha cause its like $20 a gallon at home depot)
IV - soak overnight.
VI - strain out bio-mass solids
VII - Repeat step III (2 soaks is worth the time, 3 isnt)
IIX - combine the 2 'soaks' from step VII
IX - Filter again to remove any small, leftover trash
X - Pour an amount of the thc containing naphtha into a pyrex or glass pan with a wide bottom and evaporate.
XI - collect the goo with a razor blade or what ever and either mix it w/ some stuff or put it into little vials.
this is a super easy process and it works wonders. easier that butane extraction (butane is a gas at room temp) and its cheaper than butane($20 a gallon for naphtha). most anything above the ground will work for the biomass. stems and flowers (or just a bunch of sweet leaf is what i usually do). doing several evaporation runs and mixing the results will give you a super loaded solvent so when you do a big evaporation there is a lot less work to do that doing a bunch of little evaps. I got a jug with apx 6 oz. of oil dissolved back into the solvent. makes it easy to pull out and evap. smaller amounts of oil. I suppose a Isomerization step could be added, even a THC Acetate run could be done if one desires....but why make more work(then again I havent done any serious research on the matters so who knows)
