green dragon questions using lemon extract

[justintime]

im about to make green dragon with kief but i only have about .3. would this be enough to use in a 1oz bottle of lemon extract? if not how much herb should i add to make up the difference?

[Jonafro]

you should probably be fine, as it is only trichomes and not empty plant matter making up the .3

yeah thats what i figured, but do u think i should add mabe .5 or so of some herb just to be safe? how long should i let it sit for? a week? thanks for your help btw

[justintime]

you dont need to be 21 to buy the extract, and its 83% alc by volume. plus it has lemon flavoring

id use some bud too just incase man. grind bud up very finely, 1 fluid ounce per gram, and shake it often. i let mine sit a week. i didnt think i did it long enough, so i just let all the shit evaporate. i was left with a gooey, lemon scented thc oil. that my friend, was the best idea i have ever made.

ethyl alcohol, ethanol, CH3CHOH, or simply "alcohol" (the kind you drink and use as car fuel), is extremely volatile. Contrary to common belief, volatile means evaporating easily, not explosive, although most chemicals like ethyl alcohol are explosive and evaporate easily. My suggestion is to have the area above the container a very large space so the gas does not burn and explode.

as far as the oil being gooey, i would assume it is because there is not much more solvent, so the THC which has not evaporated is just collected in what little bits of alcohol are left. This is the same with say BHO hash oil, as butane, C4H10, is a hydrocarbon as well and evaporates out of the solution.
