Ello everybody!
I thought I'd update a little about a couple of things I did last week with some of my stash.
Oh and know I mentioned smoke reports so I really must get round to those. I have sat down with every intention then have got caught up in the moment and forgotten to write anything down! So my new plan is to do a voice recording and listen back to my ramblings the next day then write that up.
So far I've done one recording and it's 82 minutes long of me babbling on so I think I have some editing to do in order to extract any worthwhile info for a report!
Anyhow, I recently made some tincture and some hash so here's a few pics and notes.
Tincture was a very small run. I used 2g of decarbed bud (mix of CBD lime and Pineapple Express auto). The smell whilst decarbing in the oven was lovely!
I used 60ml of 95% spirit, mixed and shook well.
Then popped the jar in a pan of water on the stove and heated to 75 degrees Celsius. Didn't quite expect it to reduce so quick and before I knew it the volume had reduced ALOT!
I strained the plant matter out and had 10ml liquid. This reduced to 7ml after passing through a coffee filter. I guess some was lost/soaked up in the filter and the last bits of plant matter filtered out to reduce the volume?
So very rough calculations say this dropper contains 17mg of THC.
Not sure if I have made it correctly, especially my decarbing as i was worried about over cooking it, but the proof will be in the pudding as they say so I will report back once tested.
I also made a bit of hash with the trim I saved from 4 plants. I was pretty selective and only saved decent sugar leaves and fluffy bits from lower branches. Hard to say how much trim in weight. I thought I weighed it but looking back at my photos I obviously didn't.
I used lots of ice and water and as I only have small bags did it in 2 runs. I used 220, 160, 120, 73 and 45 bag and ended up with this once dry.
Maybe could of run the lot again but was pushed for time.
Once dry I combined the 120 with the 73 but kept 45 separate. I warmed, kneaded and compressed into two cute lil lumps of hash that are now in a jar curing.
It's hardly a massive haul but "waste not want not" right?
Again as a noob there are things I could do differently next time but it was fun and kind of magical to end up with something so cool from a few handfuls of plant leaves!
So I have 2 new things to try and I promise I'll record a smoke report on each of my strains then edit and type them up for here.
