Hey Keef!
No, I haven't tried this yet, but you know I'm ALWAYS on the hunt for improved methods.
Had some early harvest on a few plants due to bud rot, & I can't afford to throw it away so I guess I'll turn it into oil for my personal use. hehe!
Probably make some ejuice with some of it & let you check how mine turns out

I don't think it would hurt to try it. If it isn't up to par take it out of the bag and redo. Also you could, after trying it with the bag run the bud for hash. That would tell you if you got it all or not. Just my thoughts. :vap_smiley:
 
my 4 sour diesels i had this year looked like that before bud rot got em. never could figure it out, they were in the ground with good sun. looked great till they matured then it went down hill.

Good evening weed giggy. It says you are are from the deep south. Not sure where but I bet your humidity is crazy high. That's what killed you. Humidity gets up around 75 to 80% or above and you have to try and jump through a lot of hoops to try and save them. Trying to keep the buds dry so mold can get going is the only thing you can do. sprays, fans etc etc
 
"G" I got a mess of 2 mil dropper bottles if U want some I'll send them to U with the lights or sooner if U want -- I was thinking that process would be great for Cannacaps or Cannabutter !!-- But what if U took it to the next level ?---- do a slow boil on the weed with water only -- with the weed weighted down -- pour into a tall thin glass vessel and cool -- if this works the RSO will congeal on top of the water when cooled-- and U got solventless RSO!! I gots to know !!

Only problem I see with that is that you could lose a lot of your oil to steam.
With the coconut oil or butter, there is a place for the volatile oils to go besides with the steam
ie: steam distillation
 
Got a pot of leaves and stems coming up to a gentle boil now -- lid up side down with ice in it -- swamp refluxing !-- will know if the oil comes out and can be recovered before I sleep tonight -- report back later !

done a LOT of that "swamp refluxing" . Slow but it works
 
Slow simmer for half an hour filtered thru screen -- got the water in fridge -- don't expect much but if ANY oil seperates then I can perfect the process !
 
I HAVE OIL !-- a thin layer of oil is floating on top the water !-- I can work with this !
 
Giggy U in trouble now !!- We gonna heal U !! First !-- that work thing is killing U !! U gonna have to find a place in the Green wave to pay the bills !-- Work is a 4 letter word around here ! Growing weed ain't work ! Sensor this if I'm out of line Miss Rosebud !-- Chai seed tea is a stimulate that may help U get motivated Giggy !-- Curendero here !! "G" ain't no reason that water - oil thing won't work is it ?? Solvent pairs and all !- I might have to give that a try ! Should get it all with no waste !! U already did this didn't U ?? Damn Wizard !!

no nothing but a baby sour diesel going now. i lost most everything outdoors this year. brought 5 in and brought the mites in with them. so this was a bad year. i ended up with about 6 1/2 oz from 5 plants. them little buggers are a pain to get rid of, hope i never have to deal with them again. as for getting motivated it will work out, it has to. i got to build the wife a greenhouse and build a bigger shop.

if it wasn't humidity it was rain, we stayed soaked for a good while. washington state, wet side or dry side? i picked up my ship at lockheed shipyard in seattle well kinda i think it was on a island but that has been many a moon ago.
 
Curmudgeonlanders,
Good Morning all, late to bed, late to rise, makes a man, ah forget it. Where`s my coffee and vape ? Giggy, you the "wake and bake" man anymore. Guess that`s what happens when ya gotta go to work. Sorry for using a swear word guys. He, he, he.
 
Mornin' Yoop and all the other Old Farts!
You gettin' the same crappy weather above the bridge, Yoop? Don't ya just love getting November weather in September? Global warming my arse!
 
What Yoop said -- UHG !-- need coffe need y pipe need Cannacaps -- U guys gonna kill me before this is over !-- My brain hurts !-- Think I had a brain hernia trying to figure out how to recover oil floating on water without a sepratory funnel and some lab glass ! "G". Go get a bag of fan leaves and collar up them greens -- I don't know how long to cook it !-- crock pot might be best ! Pour the water into a tall. Thin container -- let rest and cool then freeze-- water will freeze oil won't -- pour off R.S.O.-- just a theory from what I saw lastnight experimenting !-- Good day all ! -- got to get pickled now !!
 
Love them pics ! I might just live !--- got some little A.K. beans busting -- look like little commas ! Fold these puppies right into the rotation !

Bud rot haven with conditions like that. Just like it is here on the wet side. You probably picked it up on Harbor Island. Happy Tokerday giggy
 
You guys were mentioning holler. He was on the mountain on 8/2 and hasn't been seen since. Probably lot of work on the farm. Great looking girl there Gman. Here's a few shots of the back yard. Just to see what I have going. Not sure the PGG will finish. They are the big ones
