🌿 BHO EXTRACTION & CURING DIARY — INTRODUCTION Welcome, my friends — growers, learners, supporters, skeptics, and the simply curious. 💚 This space is dedicated to one thing only: honest documentation. This diary is a living journal focused specifically on BHO extraction, purging, curing, and cold curing, documented over time, across multiple batches and extraction runs, using a consistent method and philosophy. Here, I will be sharing: • different BHO extraction runs • different batches and materials • different curing timelines • different cold cure expressions • and how time, temperature, and patience shape the final medicine Each entry you see here may come from a different extraction run, but all are made using: • the same extraction method • the same safety standards • the same respect for the plant • and the same refusal to rush the process This diary is not about hype. It’s not about chasing trends or textures. It’s about understanding. ⸻ WHAT THIS DIARY IS (AND IS NOT) This diary is: • educational • transparent • process-focused • built slowly over time This diary is not: • a tutorial for beginners • a shortcut guide • a recommendation for unsafe practices Everything shared here is for educational and documentation purposes only, aimed at helping people understand why different BHO textures exist, how curing affects stability, and what patience actually does to medicine. ⸻ ❄️ WHY EXTRACTION & CURING ARE DOCUMENTED TOGETHER Extraction does not end when the solvent leaves. Purging, curing, and cold curing are extensions of the extraction itself. The final expression — waxy, crumble, sap, full-melt — is written by time, not by force. That’s why this diary will continue to evolve: • new extractions will be added • new curing timelines will be documented • new textures will appear • and comparisons will be made honestly and clearly Nothing is hidden. Nothing is rushed. ⸻ 🌱 HOW TO READ THIS DIARY Each sample or entry represents: • one extraction run • one curing path • one moment in time Some entries may look similar. Some may look completely different. That’s the point. Same method. Different runs. Different expressions. ⸻ 🌈 WHAT’S COMING NEXT As this diary continues, you’ll see: • additional BHO batches • longer cold cures • side-by-side comparisons • deeper dives into texture evolution • and real observations, not assumptions This is a long-form project. It grows the same way good medicine does — slowly. Thank you for being here, for reading with an open mind, and for respecting the process. More to come. Always. 🍯 SAMPLE 01 — WAXY / FULL-MELT EXPRESSION (01) This first expression is the one that leaned clearly toward a waxy, buttery, full-melt profile, while keeping the same golden color spectrum as the rest of the batch. At first glance, what stands out is the uniform gold tone — no darkening, no oxidation, no cloudy patches. The color remains consistent throughout, which already tells a story of a clean extraction and a proper long cure. 🔍 Visual & Physical Characteristics • Soft, waxy exterior with a satin / semi-gloss finish • Oil separation visible on the surface, especially when slightly warmed • Interior is drier and more structured, showing light aeration • Holds shape on the tool but melts immediately on contact with heat • Very easy to scoop, fold, and stretch What’s interesting here — and something many people miss — is that the oil separation is not a flaw. On the contrary, it’s a sign that: • terpenes are still active and mobile • cannabinoids have stabilized during cure • the matrix is alive and expressive This is exactly what a properly cured mixed-spectrum wax should look like. Why This Texture Happened This waxy expression likely came from a combination of: • minimal agitation early in the cure • balanced terpene retention • slow THCa nucleation • gentle post-scrape handling Even though it comes from the same run as the other samples, the chemistry chose this path — and I let it be. No forcing, no whipping, no rushing. 👃 Aroma & Flavor This one is LOUD — in the best way. • bright upfront notes • layered sweetness • earthy depth underneath • lingering resinous finish On low-temp dabs, the flavor spreads across the palate instead of peaking all at once. You don’t get a single dominant note — you get movement. 🌬️ Melt & Consumption This is true full-melt behavior: • melts clean with no residue • smooth on the lungs • fast onset but not aggressive • very controlled, medicinal effect Perfect for: • flavor-chasing • daytime to balanced evening use • low-temperature dabs • anyone who appreciates terpene expression over brute force 🧠 Important Note Even though this sample looks softer and more “oily” on the surface, it is fully purged, fully cured, and fully stable. 🧀 SAMPLE 02 — DRY / CRUMBLE FULL-MELT Four-Month Cold Cure Expression (02) This second expression comes from a different extraction run and a different batch, processed independently — but using the same extraction method, the same philosophy, and the same safety standards explained throughout this diary. While Sample 01 and Sample 02 are not from the same run, they are the result of the same technique applied consistently over time, allowing a clear comparison of how curing duration and natural stabilization shape the final expression. This batch was allowed to cold cure for four full months, double the time of Sample 01. What time did here is not subtle. This sample naturally evolved into a drier, crumble-leaning structure, while maintaining the same golden color spectrum and true full-melt behavior. ⸻ 🔍 Visual & Physical Characteristics • Dry, brittle texture that breaks cleanly by hand • Thin, flaky plates with sharp edges • Matte-to-light-sparkle surface (microcrystalline structure) • No greying, no darkening, no oxidation • Warm, consistent gold tones throughout The crumble forms are not whipped, forced, or mechanically altered. This structure is purely the result of time, temperature, and molecular organization during a long, undisturbed cold cure. ⸻ ❄️ What Cold Curing Does (And Why Time Matters) Cold curing is the process of allowing an extract to stabilize slowly at low temperatures, without agitation and without added heat. Over time: • residual gases fully dissipate • cannabinoids reorganize into a more crystalline structure • terpenes bind, settle, or slowly migrate • moisture and volatility stabilize naturally At four months, this batch clearly shows: • advanced THCa crystallization • reduced surface oil migration • increased structural rigidity • extremely clean and predictable melt behavior Nothing was rushed. Nothing was pushed. This is patience doing the work. ⸻ Purging & Stability Notes This batch was: • fully purged before curing • then allowed to off-gas naturally over several months • never reheated • never aggressively reworked The result is a concentrate that is: • chemically stable • mechanically dry • aromatically refined • exceptionally smooth on melt Time is the final purge. ⸻ 👃 Aroma & Flavor Profile Compared to Sample 01, this expression leans: • deeper • more grounded • more “hash-forward” The high notes are still present, but they arrive later. The flavor unfolds slowly, with a heavier base and a longer, more settled finish. Think: • less brightness • more depth • less movement • more weight ⸻ 🌬️ Melt & Effects Despite the dry crumble appearance, this is true full-melt: • liquefies cleanly • leaves no residue • produces no harshness • delivers very controlled vapor Effects lean toward: • full-body relaxation • pain relief • evening / nighttime use • grounding and calm Same method — different expression. ⸻ 🧠 Important Reminder Crumble does not mean: • lower quality • over-purged • terpene-less • or harsh In this case, it means fully matured through time. Different run. Same method. Same color spectrum. Same melt. More time. ⸻ 🌈 CLOSING REFLECTION — CONSISTENT METHOD, DIFFERENT EXPRESSIONS Sample 01 (2-month cold cure) shows movement, aroma, and surface oil expression. Sample 02 (4-month cold cure) shows structure, depth, and crystalline stability. Neither is better. Neither is worse. They are simply different chapters written by time, using the same language of patience and respect. This is why I don’t rush medicine. This is why I let chemistry speak. And this is why patience will always outperform speed.

Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Bueno como sabrán ya teníamos un problema ... Como pudimos ver o podemos observar que el riego abundante con agua y suspender la fertilización de la plata fue lo mejor ... Para que pudiera vivir o seguí adelante ya que en las fotos adjuntadas podemos observar como su coloración principal está volviendo a ser un verde claro ... Por ende la planta está tomando nutrientes perfecta mente agregando minerales exactos y ocupando una dosis más baja de lo usual ... Ya que logramos recuperar la planta a su 80% aprox veremos qué tal se termina compartando en lo que le queda de floración .... Después vienen unas cepas iguales para ver pa comparación con la sobre fertilización y con una producción sana ... Atte SpotWeed

Sta esplodendo si iniziano a definire le prime cimette. Inizia a emanare anche un buon profumo molto fruttato, per fortuna esistono i filtri ai carboni attivi. Ora sta solo ad aspettare dopo le carenze iniziali si e ripresa alla grande vedremo in futuro che succederà. Dajeforte growes

Primera semana de floración. Las niñas crecen en condiciones óptimas y recién hecha limpieza de bajos. Se ve que son muy buenas genéticas ya en la fase vegetativa.

We’re now entering the fifth week of flowering, right at the halfway point of the stage. Some plants are showing potassium, nitrogen, and magnesium deficiencies, which can clearly be seen in the leaves. I haven’t been around these past few days and left the boss (🎅) in charge, but it seems he doesn’t really know what he’s doing… I might have to cut his commission. I’m struggling to keep the humidity low while maintaining good temperatures, since it’s quite cold where I live. It’s nearly impossible to have both perfect at the same time: you either get proper temperature or proper humidity. Even so, the flowers are already forming nicely; now it’s time for them to start fattening up.

D101: harvested the plant! Very happy with the grow :) Wettrimmed all the buds and hung them for drying. i will report after drying and curing!

Hat einen leichten Training bekommen ich bin gespannt wie du Buds aussehen werden 🤩

Did some defoliation as noted. I think she is ready for a 10 gallon pot.

She is much prettier than she was a week ago :) I remembered that I have my first grow light, which is more compact and it will give me more space, so I changed my light, now the girl's side branches get light too:) I add a lot of video memes, because I really want to win Iphone16 pro ;) and those who don't take risks don't drink champagne:) good luck to everyone.

She is doing really great and buds are astonishing! Switching to Overdrive this week

We are going to send these two into flower the second I get my hands on a 3x3. The plan is to move them into the 3x3 until they finish up. Leave the 5 Autoflowers in the 4x4 until they finish then start a perpetual cycle between the two tents. A 3x3 for Veg and 4x4 for Flower! I’m extremely excited about the future!

I've moved lights towards them, so now the lights are 15 cm above them. I've moved a fan a little bit higher, so the wind is not too strong for them now. Hope she will be well now.

Plants are fattening up now. I think they have been a bit light stressed. Lowered ppfd 30.10.23 Raised Lights to 60cm. Looked like some was getting light stress Ppfd 650-600 Dli 46-43 2.11.23 Turned both lights to 3/4 power and lowered them to bring temp down a little bit. 465w 40cm Ppfd 630-400 at back dli 45-29 300w 42cm ppfd 730-430 Dli 52-31 4.11.23 10ml pk 5-8 in each plant with bactrex and recharge Ph6.3 Lights 3/4 power 45-50cm.

Growbericht – Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto Die Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto wurde an Tag 70 geerntet. Schon ab Beginn der Blütephase zeigte sie wunderschöne lila Farbtöne, die sich bis zur Ernte intensiv gehalten haben. Die Pflanze blieb insgesamt sehr klein, was vermutlich auch zu dem eher geringen Ertrag führt – geschätzt etwa 20–30 g trocken. Trotz ihrer kompakten Größe verströmt sie einen sehr angenehmen Duft – fruchtig, süß und mit einer frischen Note. Ich bin gespannt, wie sich das Aroma nach dem Trocknen und Fermentieren weiterentwickelt. Ergebnisse kommen nach dem Trocknen --- Grow Report – Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto The Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto was harvested on day 70. Right from the start of the flowering phase, she displayed beautiful purple hues that remained vibrant until harvest. The plant stayed very small overall, which will likely result in a modest yield – estimated around 20–30g dry. Despite her compact size, she gives off a very pleasant aroma – fruity, sweet, and with a fresh undertone. I'm curious to see how the scent develops after drying and fermenting.

She’s a beauty in looks and terps! Coming down soon. She’s ready. Going to flush this one— sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t—

All ticking along nicely and I’ll find it difficult to select just 9 for the final pot

Start of week 4. Glueberry OG is coming along nicely. Lots of bud sites are developing and she's starting to smell. Until next week, happy growing everyone!
