i just found about 15 wild cannabis plants growing on my road in illinois. they all are nearly full grown but they already germinated and have little to no bud on any stalk and are mostly seeds. ive heard that trying to smoke wild cannabis buds is pointless because of the low thc levels. But ive seen around about a cold water hash meathod using the shit weed, leaves, stems and seeds. i was going to try to make a batch soon so i woudnt waste these plants. does anyone know if there is enough thc in wild marijuanna/hemp to do a descent cold water extraction? thanks
Absolutely possible to pull dank cold water with total crap. It's all in the method, not the precursor. 1lb of old water leaf done correctly will consistently pull more than 1lb of dank sugar leaf done incorrectly.
Update. The experiment was a success. I ground up the pot, stuck it in a glass jar, put in enough acetone to cover the weed and covered the jar.
Then I shook it for about 5 minutes, and used a tea (metal) strainer to drain off the acetone onto a plate.
Set the plate outside for an hour or so, and once it was dry I scraped up all the greenish-brown residue with a razorblade and let it dry for another hour.
Ta-da. Quick and painless hash oil. Next time I'll use more weed.
Green and brown both indicate the presence of plant matter/shit you don't want. There are way better solvents out there that aren't to hard to get OTC. And no, im not talking about iso or butane. Just depends on if you wanna put in a little more effort.
I've been experimenting with QWISO extractions, and it's really been awesome. Turning previously useless trim/free "compassion bags" of trim from dispensaries in the area into sweet, golden oil is a humbling experience sometimes.
Last night I had purchased a handheld fan for evaporation assistance and after I had drained the alcohol onto the plate I set it on my windowsill to dry, with the fan standing next to it. The fan ended up catching a piece of the furry stripping hanging off the window in the foam blades, knocking a shitload of tiny fibers all over my fresh extraction.
I had to think fast to save it, so after a slight panic, I grabbed a needle out of my grandma's sowing gear and picked them out one by fucking one. I needed to do it quickly before the alcohol evaporated on me as it was already half dried by the time I fucked it up, so it was a bit of a race against the clock.
I finally did get them all out, and saved the oil. I'm smoking it now and it has to be the best batch I've made so far.
The moral of the story is be mindful of your drying spot, especially if you're using a fan or something like that. Oh, and fuck fibers.
You do realize that there is no reason why you can't re extract and filter hash/oil that you previously yielded right?
Woulda been way easier and more efficient then picking out fibers one by one. Just sayin'.
I've never run a QISO with less then an ounce of top grade headies, but today I find myself looking at a 12 grams of Purple Frost, and wonder if I should bother doing a wash. Thoughts on yeild? It's certainly one of the higher THC strands out there.
probably a high yield but buds have WAY more chlorophyll so with iso and butane it's pretty much impossible to extract 95%+ purity product with buds - dank trim however...
i just use:
a mason jar,
99% iso,
a metal mesh strainer with a handle,
a coffee filter in the metal strainer,
a glass plate,
a solo cup cut at the bottom laying on the glass tray, so it works as a stand/funnel that I can rest the mesh strainer ontop of.
And a razor blade
I evaporate the alcohol by boiling a small pot of water at medium heat, then placing the glass tray ONTOP of the pot, vent the room very well, and point a fan blowing full power directly at the iso. Evaporates in about 40 minutes, then I let sit on a heating blanket, and again a fan.
Does anyone have a solid suggestion on where to put the hash right after scrapping it with a razor blade? I used wax paper for this last batch, and the paper ended up getting frozen together onto the hash. I can peel it off, but a lot gets left on the paper. To solve it i am going to iso wash the paper, but for the next batch, I'd like less of a headache.
How do you mold it after scrapping with a razor?
Put it in a small glass jar. You should be able to buy all different sizes at a decent headshop. Then when you want to smoke some just take a paper clip dab some up and melt it into your pipe with a lighter. If you just want to be able to mold it like hash then your only option is marble as seen below.
Well, I tried a couple of things. At first I just left it on the plate until I could think of something. Then I tried a flat smooth pill bottle cap to press it flat. That worked but to get it off I had to turn it back into powder, lol.
Then I scraped it back into a pile on the plate, grabbed two razorblades and sandwiched the hash in between them. Applied a bunch of pressure, peeled them apart and scraped it all on to one blade. Then I just used the other blade to press the loose stuff down a little. It wasn't perfect and I didn't get 100% of the powdery hash, but what I didn't get was easily picked up and scooped into the bowl I was smoking anyway.
I was thinking of using my grinder to press it down flat, and scoop it off as needed. Or use something flat, but also something you won't mind scraping the razor against to reclaim the pressed hash.
Try mixing it with a bit of baking powder. It makes it much easier to manipulate
baking powder? i use kief. easier to smoke kief this way too if you ask me.

It's called marble and if you want the dankens you gotta figure out a good ratio of cold water hash to oil and thoroughly mix them together. It will turn into a workable, malleable chunk of the most melty hash you have ever smoked.
I'm working with about a zip of top grade headies and a quarter of sugar leaf trim, so the yeild is around 2.5g I'd estimate, not ounces. I think I'll just keep it mashed between razor blades in the fridge on wax paper, and use a knife or needle to take small chunks off, then met it onto wraps / bongs. I can think of no other way to make it possible to really get the rest of it off the wax paper otherwise, in this case, i lost about .3 in has to wax paper
If there is enough on the wax paper to see it and scrape it off (if that was possible) all you have to do is throw it in the freezer. It will temporarily flake like a product that has been cured for many months, however it will melt back down after returning to room temperature. It's slightly more complicated to speed up the curing process, but the point is that you will be able to get it off the wax paper. (*should be able to*, ive never done this on wax paper but it's worked on many other surfaces)
So ive been smoking a bit of iso for like a week now since my oil connect is dry.
i just spoke to him and he says that smoking iso hash is poison.
he says all of it doesnt evaporate from the hash, which makes it terrible for you.
can someone help me out? is the hash i have right now really poison for me? \
this is bugging the shit outta me
Does it crackle and sparkle when you smoke it with direct flame? If it does then there is still hella solvent and that shit needs to dry out more. If it doesn't then it's more or less solvent free. (I say more or less because it's impossible to completely remove all traces of iso and/or butane. If you want a truly solvent free oil you need a slightly more complicated method and way better solvent.
I know i haven't been extremely descriptive so if anybody needs more information just PM me and i can almost guarantee i can help.
