Simple Guide to Best Quality Hash Oil and Crystals (70 - 99% Pure THC)

[bombchron]

I have been looking at "how to make hash oil" pages for a couple days now and this is by far the best method I could find and I tried ALL methods. The potency that this method makes is around 70% to 99% THC so you get baked off like 2 hits.
Steps:
1)Freeze your bud/trim for at least a few hours to get most of the chlorophyll (green stuff that degrades oil quality) out.
2)Put your frozen buds/trim into a mason jar and fill the jar
1 – 2 cm above the bud/trim with 95 - 99% ethanol/isopropyl then shake vigorously for about 30 seconds and quickly pour the contents of the jar through a mesh or wire strainer into a bowl underneath it. There still might be some plant matter left in the solution don’t worry about it.
3)Now pour the contents of the bowl through a coffee filter and into the Pyrex dish. This will filter out any plant matter left.
4)Put the Pyrex dish on top of a very low heat source such as a stove burner on minimum, a sink with hot water or a hot water heating pad and make sure you have the dish close to an open window or if you do it on the stove turn the stove fan on for ventilation.
5)Once all the ethanol/isopropyl has evaporated you will be left with golden colored sticky goo. Now put the dish full of golden goo in a dark place to cure overnight.
6) In the morning stick the Pyrex dish in an oven preheated at 220 F (105 C) with the oven door closed for about 10 – 15 min. This is where the decarboxylation happens and the THC – A loses a carboxyl group and becomes the more strongly psychoactive THC. (if you used really good bud that has been cured and decarboxylated then you can skip steps 6 and 7)
7)Take it out of the oven and let the Pyrex dish cool for a few minutes.
8)If you just want hash oil then you can scrape it up right now off the Pyrex dish but if you want to make the hash oil crystals then stick the Pyrex dish in the freezer for a couple hours. The hash oil will freeze up forming very hard crystals.
9)Once out of the freezer immediately begin scraping the hash/honey oil crystals from the bottom of the Pyrex dish with a fresh and sharp razor blade. Try to do this quick so the crystals stay hard and once you’re done scraping you’re ready to start smoking. Best place to store it would be in the freezer.
Hash Oil Uses:
·Oil hits
·Oil papers
·Melt some on a bowl
·Mix some bud in with oil to make hash like stuff
Hash Oil Crystals Uses:
·Sprinkle on bowls
·Put in joints
I can’t really advise lone stoning joints of Hash Oil Crystals, probably look like this after

Really??? Will the Pyrex not crack or do you wait until it cools before putting in the Freezer?


And one more thing...what if you are skipping 6 and 7 like mentioned..at what point do you put the oil in the freezer to make crystals?

I am doing some testing right now with some bud we already vaporized once or twice...would heating it like that qualify for "decarboxylating" the bud or would you suggest going through the process of curing and reheating in the morning for a 10 minutes as suggested?

Thank you for posting this by the way...I think your right best one I have read and have done it several ways over the years.

A little off topic but any advice you can give those of us that might be considering using Everclear 151 (in california)??

Yes wait til it cools down enough that you can hold it in your hand, then stick it in the freezer.

If skipping steps 6 and 7 just stick it in the freezer a few minutes after your done evaporating the alcohol and after it's cooled down a bit.

Yes, vaporizing should decarb most of the weed.

And about the everclear 151, it would work but if it's not 95 - 100% pure you will get worse quality oil so I would only go with the everclear if you can't find anything else.

I think Bacardi makes 151 and Everclear is 95% Alcohol by volume so it is better I guess.
