🌿 WEEK REPORT – BHO EXTRACTION (MIXED SPECTRUM) A Deep Dive Into My Process, My Medicine, and Safe Extraction Hello my beautiful friends, lovers, haters, followers, non-followers — the whole amazing community. 💚 Today I bring you something special. Something many ask about, something many are curious about, something many fear because they simply don’t understand it yet. BHO extraction. But done my way — patient, safe, respectful, and rooted in decades of experience. This run is a mixed-spectrum extraction made from the leftovers of my last grow cycle — a blend of gorgeous genetics from Zamnesia Seeds (thank you, Zamnesia, always 🙏💚). When I say “mixed spectrum,” I mean it: multiple strains, different cannabinoids, different terpene profiles… all coming together into one unique batch of medicine. Every run ends up with its own personality. 🔥 WHAT IS BHO? BHO stands for Butane Hash Oil, a concentrate extracted using butane as the solvent. The goal is simple: ➡️ Separate the essential oils (cannabinoids + terpenes) from the plant material. What we get after proper processing is a potent, clean, flavorful resin with a high concentration of cannabinoids. People call the final product by many names depending on texture: • Shatter • Wax • Crumble • Sap • Pull & Snap • Honey Oil Mine usually ends up somewhere between sap and wax, depending on the blend. MY EXTRACTION METHOD – SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE, RESPECTFUL I use open-blast extraction with a metal tube, fitted with: a filter on the bottom small holes for controlled flow high-quality butane Here’s my process from A to Z: 1️⃣ Pack the tube I fill the metal tube with the dried material — in this case a mix of Zamnesia genetics. No need to overpack. No need to grind. I prefer a gentle hand. 2️⃣ Blast with butane (OUTDOORS ONLY) I ALWAYS do this outdoors. Never inside. Never in a garage. Never near fire. Safety is the number one rule: butane is invisible, odorless, and EXTREMELY explosive. I blast through the tube, letting the golden oil drip into a silicone plate. 3️⃣ Let the magic (and patience) work Once the extraction is complete, the plate sits in a safe, ventilated place. This is the part many people rush — but not me. I let it dry naturally, slowly, gently. All the butane must evaporate — completely. 4️⃣ Collect and work it After it dries, I scrape everything with a silicone tool and begin working it: stretching, folding, pulling, spreading — giving it that texture we are all after. 5️⃣ Long cure (at least 2 months) This is the heart of the process. I cure my BHO the same way some people cure their finest wine or aged cheese. Two months minimum. No shortcuts. This ensures: all residual butane is gone flavor improves dramatically effect becomes smoother, richer, more medicinal terpenes settle into a stable profile This is how I guarantee my final product is clean and safe for consumption. ⚠️ A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE BHO extraction is NOT something to take lightly. You are working with a volatile, explosive gas — and for 99% of people, the ONLY safe way to do this is: 👉 OUTDOORS, in wide open space, with full ventilation. I cannot stress this enough: Butane is invisible, it pools low to the ground, and one spark is enough. Now — because I always want to be transparent with you all — here’s the truth: Yes, I do my extractions indoors. But only because: I have proper airflow and extraction fans zero flames, zero sparks, zero electronics a fully controlled environment experience doing this for decades and I'm 100% focused on safety every second of the process This DOES NOT mean anyone should copy me. I repeat: Do it outside unless your setup is engineered for safety and you fully understand the risks. Here are the universal rules: 👉 No smoking 👉 No flames 👉 No stoves, boilers, heaters 👉 No phones charging nearby 👉 No static electricity 👉 NEVER inside a closed room 👉 ALWAYS prioritize safety over speed If anyone wants to take extraction seriously, research closed-loop systems. They recover solvent, control pressure, and are the industry standard. Even though I personally use an open system, I encourage everyone to explore the safer alternatives. I personally use an open system, but closed-loop systems:• recycle the solvent • allow pressure control • yield cleaner extracts • are the professional standard Anyone serious about the craft should at least know the difference. 🌈 THE RESULT — MIXED SPECTRUM MEDICINE What comes out of this run is a beautiful, full-spectrum concentrate with: ✨ mixed terpene layers ✨ mixed cannabinoids ✨ the character of ALL strains combined A perfect example of: “Whole harvest in one drop.” Each hit carries: • fruity notes • earthy tones • some bright citrus • some deep hashy flavors And the effects? Balanced, full-body, mind-and-soul medicine. Perfect for pain, anxiety, relaxation, sleep — depending on dosage. 🙏 THANK YOU, EVERYONE Thanks to Zamnesia Seeds for the genetics. Thanks to this amazing community for the love and even for the hate — both push me forward. Thanks to everyone watching, learning, supporting, and walking with me through this green life. 🌱💚 I am grateful for every one of you.

I was out of town for a week so not too much to say in this update. They're coming up on 60F but have just barely started the fade so I'm thinking another 2 weeks or so from this point. Nothing but plain water from here until harvest.

Day 74 - Cheese - Been watering with only clean ph every 3-4 days and watching the trichomes. They're mostly cloudy with no amber. Just gonna keep watching and letting it swell. Super Lemon Haze - Buds are coming in nicely. Purple leaves coming in near the top. Gets cold in the basement at night, so I'm not surprised with a bit of colour change. The tip burn doesn't seem to be moving too fast on the leaves it effected and the rest of the growth is coming in nicely. I Think there should be only a few weeks left now, so probably one more nutrient feed and onto flush as well. End of week 11 - For my first grow, I've already made it far past my expectations. Love growing and love these plants. Stay tuned for cheese harvest!

Eccoci qui... Tutto va per il meglio, questa settimana si inizia a vedere la resina e ora si inizieranno a formare le cime, per questo aggiungo Sugar Shot di @xpertnutrients vedremo l'evoluzione settimana prossima. Come potete vedere nel complesso tutto va alla grande e c'è un odore nella stanza davvero troppo ed uno strato di resina che sembra zucchero a velo sono davvero molto molto curioso di vedere tutto quello che ne uscirà fuori... Grazie a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️

Welcome growfessors to week 4F in the 4x8. LSD, Green Crack and Divine storm are showing the most discoloration, however the bud sites continue to bulk up and frost is showing. Both Mandarin dreams strains, 4 of pheno 1 and 2 of pheno 2 all look good, with a bit of discoloration starting to show. A bit of defoliation and removal of any dead leaves. Not much else to say, they look happy and a bulking up nicely. Tune in next week growfessors for another episode 👽🌳💚

So i had to take all my plants inside because i found bud rot on 2 of them & the weather wasn’t going to get any better, had to transform my bedroom into a grow room😂 & i have 2 more plants which i am going to finish next to a window.. The smaller plant to the right is a Northern light by zamnesiaseeds that has a seperate diary if you are interested! I really hope the bud rot doesn’t spread anymore & if anyone has any tips or tricks for that they are always welcome!

Hi Growmies, This grow was not about growing the biggest plant but a test on how Natural sunlight compares to artificial light. I can be clear on one thing: natural sunlight gives a better terp/trichomes development, at least within my setting. This is probably due to natural UV rays within sunlight which is harder to get in a tent. Also the cost of this grow was so cheap, that if I would sell 3 grams I would have my whole investment in this grow back. So cost wise an outside grow will always beat an inside grow, especially with the current energy rates where I live. So after the drying process we will do a quick taste test before jarring it up to cure. That will also be the time I weight my buds, wet weight is not important to me. Hope y'all will come by later for the final verdict but for now, feel free to scroll this diary and if you have any questions feel free to ask those and I will try to answer yours ASAP. Have a good one and hope to see you in 10 days or so👋🏽

Flowering stage initiated only after switching to 12-12 lighting schedule. The Deficiency (purple colour on leaf stems) was cured by using extra cal-mag pro by ionic nutrient supplement I was using 1ml per litre Had to use 3ml per litre Lots and lots of top nodes prime flowering locations And they are stacking one above other. It has begun to double in size and I’m about to run out of space! I might have to install a scrog (net) to hold the top branches from getting to the light

Hey everyone 😃. Day 1 : The seeds were placed between 2 moist towels to germinate and sealed in a box. Day 2 : No change . Day 3: Both seeds have sprouted and you can see a small tip of the root coming out. Day 4: The tip of the root looks out about 0.5 - 1 cm. today they were set in stone wool blocks. These were placed in water beforehand and mixed with a little Rizotonic to stimulate root formation. Day 5: Today, both seedlings stick their heads out about 1 cm 😊. (The grow box is sprayed under the hood every day to keep it moist.) Day 6: Today the heads are already looking 2 cm out. Day 7: Both rock wool blocks were planted in Canna Coco, and some water with an Ec mixture 0.4 was added. So they stay under the hood for about 7-10 days. (The lid is opened a little wider every 2-3 days to get used to the lower humidity. I hope you have a lot of fun with the update, stay healthy and let it grow 🙏🏻😊 You can buy this Strain at : https://www.royalqueenseeds.de/feminisierte-hanfsamen/115-amnesia-haze.html Type: Amnesia Haze ☝️🏼 Genetics: Original Amnesia Haze 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC. Add Cal / Mag to 0.4 Ec Ph with Organic Ph - to 5.5 - 5.8 .
