qwiso from bubble hash

[Lazyman]

I disagree about using warm solvents on trim, it solubilizes chlorophyll so easily your mix will turn out very green.

I've taken the solvent wash and put it into a 2G jar in the freezer, after a few days a 1/8" layer of white plant waxes settled to the bottom. if you stir it this will never occur. I siphoned off the top layer, and then the bottom layer and dried them separately. The bottom layer had a slightly different (almost crumbly) texture when scraped up, but otherwise the product smoked similarly and had similar effects. In all i decided it wasn't worth removing such a tiny amount of waxes for the effort, so now I just wash it and dry it.

Cold alcohol and acetones both dissolve resin heads in seconds, any more than a couple minutes and you're just wasting your time. It's not worth picking up tons of chlorophyll to speed up the process, when the whole point is to preserve purity, right?

I never proposed using warm solvent on trim or buds, it is against the common sense,

in contrast to buds or trim, hash is the substance of a high density and contains a very little chlorophyll,

doing extraction from hash I was failed with cold solvent and was succeed with hot.

you are right, ok then next time i just :

- use very cold isoprophyl alcohol
- soak only for 3 minutes and not overnight

(and no need for putting the solvent in the freezer after dissolving,
i will directly put it through the filter, as you told...)


i tell you when i do my outdoor run...


...

Yep sounds about right, if you're dissolving hash I would break it into tiny pieces or even grind it up first, the crap will still get caught in the filters, but it will dissolve better. I think you will be surprised at the amount of crap that was in your hash!

yeah...maybe jump117 is right, its about making qwiso from bubble,...and i always had good success with room temperature iso.

but you know what? i just do another test...

...same base material, one time with very cold, one time with warm iso! i use same soaking time then and then i compare and we see whats better

(btw , on the pictures on previous page, i used a grinder to make powder from the bubble, AND i was surprised what was left over, but was not the best bubble as i told ....)

 

[jump117]

are you going to make bubble-hash first and after that make qwiso from bubble hash?

the faster way is quick alco wash on fresh undried plant matter, resulting with amber quality product.

 

[Lazyman]

I dunno man, I've made ISO from fresh (frozen trim and dried/cured frozeon trim, and the frozen trim turned the solvent green almost instantly, way too much chlorophyll. If it's green its being contaminated!

 

[Lazyman]

Oh and if the end goal is to get oil, I would agree that making bubble first is a waste of time, bubble isn't a perfect extraction process, but filtered solvents pretty much ARE. Why start with a contaminated and less-than-perfect extraction and extract from that? Start with the plant matter and do a solvent extraction with that instead, save time and money and get a much better yield.

i make bubble first....and i have a look on that i dry it in a powdery form, not as a chunk(s)....so that i dont have to use a grinder next time ;-)



hmm, i know that i could use fresh buds, but firstly its already dry(ing), and secondly i wanted to avoid using the bud/trim because i think that there is some kind of funghi on/in my outdoor plants...some had a slightly form of powdery mildew (really not that bad, nearly nothing, hehe), and when i harvested them, the outer skin was definitely disordered from something as a funghi(m plants had the leaf spot disease)...was nothing in the bud, but this was the reason i just didnt want to use the "green", and prior to that extract only the resin ...

but i think it can only get better when using only the resin...and when there is no chance to dissolve any chlorophyll...hmm

(btw, end goal is only to get the qwiso )

if yall dont mind me asking..... why did my last run of bubble turn out so gooey/sticky? there is no way i could handle it if i let it cool to room temp. I have to leave it in freezer. By the time i get an answer to this i will be making that into qwiso im sure

@JohnnyHopkins


What measure size had the gooey bubble hash?
What strain did you use, indoor or outdoor?
Did you let our trim/bud dry or did you use fresh trim/bud for making it?



Maybe its some genetics thing ....or maybe the cuticle of the trichome-head was very thin.....was the herb very sticky, too?

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Thanks for your response bud.....

the 70 bag was the goo pretty much.... I let it dry on card board overnight and then put it in the freezer for a couple weeks ( iread somewhere on here that is a fool proof way up dry/curing hash). The trim came from nirvana ice and super skunk and was fresh/frozen trim. Should i dry it longer next time before putting it in freezer? how do i get bubble hash that is easier to handle?

Hi there :yay:

from fugu kush's trim I made bubble hash...but I wasn't satisfied with the purity..



so I dissolved into ISO ALCOHOL..


..to became Q.W.ISO. OIL




Have a good weekend
