Here comes the end of my last year's harvest((😨
1.5+ pounds of buds ended not without the help of friends and relatives. It was a good season, it was the first time I got such a result significantly saving the family budget.
Also my cannabis harvest helped me keep my peace of mind during these hard times for our country.
This jar is the last thing I have left of my cannabis supply. I was going to use it for Butane Hash Oil processing, but now that all the jars of big buds are empty, I decided to chop and smoke them up.
These small, unsightly, loose buds are called "popcorn" in grower parlance.
To grind cannabis buds I will use a kitchen drushlak, the fine sieve of which makes it easy to separate small twigs and seeds.
The buds, finely ground through a sieve, densely studded the paper sheet.... If you take a paper with a pattern, the process will be more fun)))
The sifting resulted in a fraction like this. This is just what you need to roll a joint or smoke through a thimble.
surprisingly, it turned out exactly 50 grams of fragrant crushed buds. When crushed, they revealed their flavor to the full.
Here is a mixture of 3 varieties that I grew last year!
I certainly couldn't help but keep a few dense buds abundantly studded with trichomes to smoke them in the summer in anticipation of a fresh harvest
This is what was left unsifted in the sieve, as you can see, there is still material to work with. In my case, it's an unacceptable waste not to take this into processing.
From the remaining 21 grams, the seeds have to be extracted first. They are superfluous here and will only take up extra volume in the terpenes extraction process.
The process of seed extraction is easiest to carry out on a wide flat surface, from which, while tilting in different directions and stirring the pile of raw material in the center, the round seeds are simply rolled away
Then, following the method already previously described in the blog, we tightly tamp the raw material into a homemade extractor for subsequent washing with liquid butane
The glued-on nozzle, made from a syringe needle cap, prevents cold gas with dissolved sticky canna oil from spraying in different directions like a pulivizer)))
We see how in the accumulated gas at the bottom of the plate flakes begin to precipitate magical ingredients we are looking for.
With time (or temperature) the liquid gas will evaporate leaving only hash oil in the plate
It is under the deep and pure impression of this amber that I am writing the lines of this post sharing the process and impressions with you.
