i bought a organic product based on copper, but i havent used it yet for spraying. 
i was kind of hoping the new de3sing and setup of the flowering room would take away the problem
well finally i think i will spray very soon i dont want to risk these first pm free plants i have had in a while
at the moment there is only one plant left with pm, and its a seeded powerplant. i would throw it out to bring down contamination levels, but im waiting for the seeds to get done asap
anyway in the end we are getting too used to do BHO with the nugs by now and i think it feel will feel weird to not to do bho after 3 months more or less of continuos bho smoking.
ah i should say we dont use bubble hash for the jelly. since the bho is pure thc almost, it can be mixed with a little bit of moroccan hash of lower quality. for example using 7 grams of cheap hash to mix with 12 grams of really nice bho, makes a jelly hash that is enough handleable, and the flavour of the bho is overwhelming.
ice hash is not productive enough in comparison with bho, when it comes to fully extract a material. atleast that is our experience. we can buy butane for wholesale prices and that greatlly reduces costs. in the end its almost cheaper than ice here! during summer we would need normally up to 40 kilo of ice chunks thats 2,5 euro for each 5 kilo and out of 500 grams of material about 20 g of nice hash is to expect, more or less. while making bho, for each 30g of material we use 2-3 cans of thane, and normally the yield is around 20% or more. so out of 500g of trim and small nugs we can get minimum 50g of bho in absolutelly worst case. normally the yield is higher.
so for the money and time spent on extractions, bho is the most work efficient
also should add almost any state of nugs, be it insect of slight fungal attacks like pm, the bho comes out perfect in flavour. so for nugs w mites, or etc its a great way of saving the resin out of the crop. while for example using this material for ice hash, will result in ice hash full of mould, insect pieces and eggs. the fact is the mould spores are smaller than resin glands, and also they stick to the resin, so using ice water extraction, it is virtualy impossible to clean the resin out of contaminants. sometimes it even will result in a concentration of contaminants.
i have seen electron microscope pics of resin glands with botritis mould gtrowing inside the resin, and also with spores stuck to the outside of resing glands. in that specific article they tried even a isomerizaion to try to clean the spores of the mould. needless to say it didnt work well. i think it was written by jonathan ott if im not entirelly off track. the end conclusion of the article is to use alcohol or bho extractions for infected materials for 100% free end product.
- just as a note i can add the way butane works in an extraction is, it breaks up the gland walls, and go inside, but beeing a very selective solvent, only the thc and terpenes etc etc is extracted. nothing more
and for all the sceptics - butane is the foodgrade solvent of choise for any culinary extractions. but allways remeber about safety first
we do like to dry sieve... but thats an other story
peace
