First, a greeting from the team cannabis Sant Yerbasi Grow Shops, the subject we will now be getting resin (known as Oil BHO) using a solvent such as gas. Second, notice of something very important: the cannabis oil extraction by a process gas is flammable and hazardous materials used.
To proceed with the extraction should take several safety measures:
• Carry out the extraction in a fully ventilated, avoid rooms, kitchens, and any interior without large windows is more, it is strongly recommended to do it outdoors .
• Not having any nearby heat source , especially have to watch with the typical cigar friend defective lighters , or any smoke that rule by the environment. There are reports of people burned by this issue , leaving nothing but a heat , if you are performing the extraction, fire cover everything in a second, INSIST IS VERY IMPORTANT THINGS TO PREVENT EACH SECURITY and that of the around us, from Sant Yerbasi special incapié do to avoid risks in such extractions.
Gas extraction involves passing gas ( for example, the clipper of the burners) into a tube which contains cannabis and obtain (after passing the solution through a filter ) + gas mixture without plant material resin . Then explain in depth the steps in detail, including how to separate gas finally our resin honney getting rich , oil, BHO extraction , or whatever you want to call it.
To make a gas extraction , we need the following materials:
Tube with the matter, and may be the pvc pipe typical sales Grow shops used for this type of extraction , or a copper tube or any NONTOXIC metal ( stainless food , etc). If we choose the copper home , here are some tips :
• Pipe measurements are to be about 28mm in diameter , can be made thinner but I personally do not recommend fatter .
• A junction to ¾ inch threaded , this tin solder it to the tube to have the gas input .
• A rubber stopper and ¾ inches to screw the tube + junction , we will open a small hole in the cap to get around the spout gas bottle
• A good bridle.
Sanding have parts that are to be welded , until shiny , paste is applied and the pieces are joined by heating with tin and applying torch.
The materials needed , apart from the tube , will be:
• One or two Pyrex pans ( those trays that our mothers used to cook in the oven), a big wider and better, smaller and round worse. We recommend a separate 2nd tray resin the first run of the second , and achieve two grades separately and not one of less quality.
• Coffee filters , or if possible, laboratory filters 30micras about .
• Charcoal activated for gas cleaning . There are two gases that we can use , the typical clipper, lighter gas , free gas or impurities (called mercaptans , additives that are added to the gas to make it smell and leakage is not dangerous , these additives negatively affect the taste ) , as the hummingbird. If we choose the easiest method , gas clipper , we will use as a small charcoal filter, which we explain below .
• square Razors , these typical barber. We'll use them for convenient collection of cannabis oil.
• A cloth to hold the pipe , passing gas will become extremely cold and in direct contact with the skin will be harmful.
• A container to put hot water. On top of this container will Pyrex tray , for extraction directly to the " bath " .
• Teflon to prevent leakage
• baking paper to support the honey collected
The extraction method will be as follows:
We fill the tube with resin material ( from small to pure manicure leaves bud , not to publish material without resin to more less quality resin material will not ) . We pressed marijuana with a stick doing a lot of pressure , it is very important that there are no air pocket inside the tube , then the extraction will fail and we will not get high performance. Furthermore the air pockets between the material can lead to explosion by introducing the pressurized gas.
Placed in the mouth of the tube, which introduce the gas , a small reservoir formed by the coffee filter and filled with active carbon. Best explained, we will make a kind of bowl where we put the activated carbon , and plunge into the inlet of the tube , closing the thread and passing Teflon around openings to prevent leakage.
At the exit of the tube, the bottom , if we opt for the tube home , will the laboratory filter / coffee laced with a flange , if we choose the option of pvc pipe that will not need it already incorporates a filter.
Place the tube in the freezer at least 2 hours, so that the extraction yield is higher , we must remember that the cold is one of the best allies to separate plant material resin .
A table prepared in Pyrex trays , the blades on the other hand , the cloth , and let boiling water in a saucepan . We recall the above, beware the heat and gas, where all very separated in different places ( The extraction is carried out on the terrace and the water is heated in the kitchen) .
When the water boils , pour it over the bowl bigger than Pyrex tray and introduce the glass bowl in the water , putting it in a water bath , and logically without water is introduced into the glass tray .
Let the freezer , we take the tube, and headed to the tray. Begin to inject gas into the tube, causing the output of the above Pyrex tray , so that the gas + resin fall on the gas container warm and begins to evaporate.
If we follow the steps of the tube home to about 30 - 50g of grass use a gas bottle Pyrex tray and 1 bottle get the premium gas , the gas bottle 2nd second quality, etc. . If we use the pvc pipe , but Mary entered , about 60 - 100g , and use two gas bottles glass tray.
When finished pouring gas bottles , begin to gently move Pyrex , and we will change the water as it cools , the water heats up the glass must always be hot , as we make the previous step is recommend that your partner or yourself, more boiling water will not stop the process heat.
The gas bubbles begin to evaporate taking the broth obtained , continue to evaporate most of the liquid and start to become sticky , like honey . We recommend Pyrex tray large as possible , because the thinner resin layer gas + gas evaporate in small containers better than very thick broth.
Once the bubbles are so sticky that cost break , begin to prick yourself with a small tip , or just blowing hard on them. Continue with this process until there is absolutely no bubble. Once we finished 1 - 2H abode and return to the water bath has make we did before , this is called bleed , just to make back the process is called re- bleed . At this point we recommend using vacuum machines to get the best quality without any trace of impurities.
Once we made the purged two or three times , we take the blades and start collecting honey. Greaseproof paper prepared in which each blade will a small amount of oil collected , totaling about 5-15 blades will draw oil. Then take the material to the refrigerator for storage crystallize and be more comfortable.
After a few minutes in the fridge, removed the material and carefully lift off ( can blow up , crystallized !) , Introducing a small box of metal, glass , plastic, etc. clean . A typical case where these seeds are packaged works , click clack typical metal box .
And finally enjoy later write about the different methods of consumption of this delicious stuff!
A greeting from the entire team of Sant Yerbasi Grow Shops !
