Winterized and triple filtered. Going into the Source, now.
I only washed 2.75 oz of the decarbed trim, so I still have 1.25 oz in my freezer.
The above pic shows a frosty glass making the solution seem cloudy. Here it is after filling the Source and wiping off the condensation:
Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble! What Source-ery is this?!
Whatâs the finished product look like?
It needs to finish drying. 
Once finished, t will be made into CBD tincture.
Iâd say by 9pm tonight, itâll be ready. When I run 5+ oz of THC trim, I usually get 6 grams of oil. Hoping to get 2.5 grams from this 2.75ish oz of CBD trim.
After being processed in the Source for 6 total hours AND after being farther purged for almost 10 hours (2 hours on a warming pad):
@Markjordan420 I suggest you go back and read the terms of service you agreed to on this forum when you signed up. Youâre breaking the rules by putting all this information out there. I have flagged your post in another thread.
Your also being very inconsiderate of other peopleâs threads that youâre putting your information in!!
Thanks for saving me from saying something. Havenât taken my CBD, yet.
Call it 4! Looks great, nice work.
@blackthumbbetty, If I want to make FECO, when you take it out to purge on the mat, how can you tell if the alcohol is gone. At that point, is it still liquid or become shatter like that? How can you suck it up into syringe?
Warm it up to liquefy it a bit, then pour it into your syringe. Itâs not really shatter, at that point. More like a taffy. I donât use syringes, except to fill vape carts, but if I did, Iâd probably leave it runnier than I usually do OR mix it with a small amount of MCT, to make it flow.
For edibles and tincture, once it looks like one of these, I call it good:
Thanks. How can you tell whether youâre done purging the alcohol?
See above pics.
The alcohol will be gone before other fluids. Honestly, unless youâre vacuum purging, thereâs not a way to easily say, yep, thatâs done, except to just let it dry for as long as possible. Once thereâs no liquid floating on the oil and it starts to kinda ball up rather than smear on the mat, itâs safe to say that itâs as purged as youâre going to get it.
Okay, here is some Blue Dreamâatic âlive resinâ QWET. Itâs super green! Made everything it touched super sticky, too. This was made to try to salvage a screwed up plant. Kind of an experiment in âlive resinâ ethanol extracting.
It was frozen while wet (both freshly harvested and from a peroxide wash) at a minimum of -10 (temp dropped to -20 overnight) for 12 hours.
*Roughly chopped the frozen colas into the Ultrasonic Cleaner and covered the herb with 2 cups ice cold 190 proof ethanol
*Processed in the cleaner for 13 minutes, occasionally manually breaking up the bigger nugs as they began to thaw; temp never went above 0°C
*Strained via mesh sieve, then once through a coffee filter using the Buchner
*Put used herb back into Ultrasonic Cleaner, covered it with 1 cup cold ethanol (was only in freezer a couple hours) and processed it for 3mins30secs, without stirring once; the temperature reached 17°C
*Strained that through the sieve and then through the Buchner using 2 coffee filters
Now, that lovely plutonium green QWET will get frozen for 48 hours, then TRIPLE FILTERED before being run through the Source. Hoping to make dabby-shatter.
Note: usually, I donât want this green color, but because of the frozen FRESH material and extra moisture, it wasnât to be avoided. Itâll probably turn a beautiful shade of amber, once processed and purged. As long as I winterize and filter it properly, this should turn into some really tasty and potent concentrate.
Licked my fingers lots (not decarbed, unfortunately) and it tastes so good, alcohol and all.
If anyone wants to know how to scrub away chloraphyll or dark colors from your extract, itâs very easy but will result in the loss of quite a bit of the cannabinoids (I think itâs something like 20%).
I have no plans/desire to ever use this method, but thought Iâd share it. As we all know, plans donât always work out, so someday I might use this method.
DE/Charcoal Scrubbing your Ethanol Wash
This is where I learned about it, with lots of follow-up in a Source usersâ online group:
I stopped at the title. I donât like polished things much. Except chrome. Chrome is cool.
Yeah, me neither. Iâm ok with every color of oil. So far, hasnât ever given me headaches or bellyaches.
