Larf and trim handling?

CreatureCreator
CreatureCreatorstarted grow question 2 years ago
What to do with dried larf and trim? Sitting on about 6oz of frosty stuff that was dried and cured next to the buds. Decarb and ethanol? Bubble hash? How can I make something presentable and clean without a big equipment investment?

bubble hash -- freeze immediatly, next time. other stuff won't matter much.. you are dissolving it into oil or alcohol for an extraction... doesn't really care if it has some moisture left or not. less moisture may even improve resulting potency -- less mass of non thc added.. simple result of math. pressing rosin i believe is better with a normal level of moisture in your typically cured weed. it helps the oils escape through all the micro crevices and such. it facilitates the process so 'normal' weed pressed will be a better yield than bone-dry. i'd recommend bubble hash but has some initial investment -- set of mesh bags of varying micron sizes and a portable "5 gallon" washing machine (aka RV clothes washer)... it is worth it. stirring by hand sucks... also good to note with this method... the larger the load the more efficient it is... it will take 2-3 hours whether you do 10g or 1000's of grams starting material. Good thing is this is a sieving process.. absolutely nothing added.. pure plant material. dry ice hash has more contaminants and comes out greenish, but probably the cheapest and easiest option. dry ice from local supermarket is typically cheap and you'll need "1" mesh bag... drpo teh ice in.. let it freeze, then shake over a flat, larrge surface you can scrape it all toegether easily -- glass or something very smooth in similar way to glass... a long mirror, e.g. butter you can use a double boiler .. can do the extraction AND decarb it for read-to-use state at one time -- 60-90mins at 212F.. the double boiler guarantees you cannot burn the butter. lots of options.. if it won't be smoked or heat applied when used, you'll need to decarb it -- if eaten, for example. vapes and smoking take care of that part on their own. extractions involve solvents... some more dangerous than others... don't follow some 'bruh' science on these.. make sure it's a reputable source with some sort of education behind them on relevant subjects... smoking butane is never good, lol.

As @UnkleSkunk has said, bubble bags just require the bags (cheap on ebay etc.),a few bags of ice and a big (clean) bucket. You could probably get all of this for under 50 quid. If you want to make life easier for yourself, it helps to have a chest freezer, so you can drop the whole bucket in and leave it for a few hours. I don't personally think you need to agitate it so much that you'd need a paint mixer, but it depends how cold you can get the water in the bucket. Less cold = more agitation required (and more plant matter released). I make BHO (shatter) using butane, an extraction tube, a vacuum pump and a heat mat. All in, I think I paid about 200 GBP including the pump oil, super-clean butane ("Newport Zero Impurities") and everything else, but it's not for the faint of heart and you should not do anything with butane indoors as its dangerous, so you need garden space or similar. Once it's in the vacuum chamber it should be safe to bring inside as the amount of butane remaining it is relatively small. The absolute cheapest extraction you can do is coconut oil for edibles. When I do this, I de-carb the herb in the oven first, then setup a slow cooker and add in all the de-carbed herb and the unrefined coconut oil together for a couple of hours on a low heat. I then pour everything from the slow cooker through a coffee filter (multiple layers of muslin will also work if you have no filters to hand). You can then use the (now green) coconut oil in place of butter in any recipe you like and you'll have yourself some tasty edibles. It seems to last for months when kept in the fridge. I've used this method to make everything from gummy bears to hash brownies and they always turn out well. I recommend buying some powdered lecithin to add to your recipes as well, as it makes the THC easier for the human body to digest (i.e. you get higher). If you plan to make gummy bears, you should also buy a mould (under a tenner on Amazon - I have traditional gummy bear shape, Super Mario and Final Fantasy characters etc. - and some malic acid so you can make sour flavours. I took these on a flight to Japan and they randomly spot-checked my bag at customs but said nothing about my gummies! Highly recommend.

gli estratti con roba tipo alchol non mi piace moltissimo in piu ha un minimo di pericolosita' il butano è una soluzione per avere la qualita migliore ma questo è parecchio pericoloso e dovresti investirci qualcosina io sono x l'estrazione a secco o con acqua e ghiaccio(bubble hash) investimento 3 sacchi (in italia costano 30 euro) se hai un secchio,ghiaccio,acqua e un braccio forte o un trapano per mischiare le pitture(pulito) sei apposto ricorda che se fai asciugare ad una temperatura superiore ai 12 gradi lo rovini quindi via dentro il frigo ad asciugare con questo metodo ho fatto delle cose spettacolari
