I read and reread this thread so many times I hope I got this right.
Let me warn you I usually OVERKILL everything!
I took 32 Grams of sit on the couch weed
Ground it up in my food processor to a fine powder
Preheated my oven to 325 for 10 min then put the powder on a sheet of foil ans baked for 5 min.
When I took it out I saw the wisp of vapor! it was browner then when it went in.
Then I place the poder in a double boiler added 2 1/2 cups of 160 proof vodka broght the mixture to 170 degrees and left it for 20 min.
When that was done I strained it and had 1 1/2 cups left.
SOOOO I washed the powder 2 more times I ended up with 3 cups or 24 oz of booze. Now trying to duplicate Dragonriders recipe in which he used 4 Grams bud to get 12 oz before he added the simple syrup.
I had started with 32 grams of bud so My recipe should have been 96 oz or 12 cups at this point. However I didnt have enough vodka! so I added all I had left that brought the volume up to 7.5 cups or 60 OZ
So by my calculations My mix is 62% stronger weed to booze.:stoned:
Now to get to the goal of doubling the volume with a 2 to 1 simple syrup to mineral water I figured I needed to add 5 cups of simple syrup and 2.5 cups mineral water.
Am I on the right track here???? :stoned::stoned::stoned:
Not to be a dick to anyone but if you don't know things like what a water bath is or if it's OK to drink isopropyl alcohol or how to convert Celsius to Faraeheit then you probably shouldn't be doing this kind of "advanced" chemistry. And for safety's sake I would consider Pyrex.
OOOOhhhh Yea this is "advanced Chemistry" Come on man we are just a bunch of stoner tyin to get High!!!!!!Quote:

Also, I have a crystal catcher on my grinder so what if I just put the crystal straight into the alcohol and heated it up?
This is just a thought I had, I don't know much about the science of this stuff.
I'm definitely gonna try this later this week though :D
Just made a batch of GD, it's dark green, and should be ultra dank.
Do you guys think this technique would work well for making absynth???????
I've got like 3 ounces of Wormwood lying around.
I've tried it twice now, with no results, and think I may be going wrong at the baking stage.
Even on a very low (180F) setting, my powdered bud goes brown very quickly and there's a burnt smell about it. Even after just a few minutes it turns that way.
This results in a brownish, burnt smelling product at the end of the water bath stage, and a pungent alcohol mix.
Tastes bad and there's no effect.
Any ideas?

Yes, I can assure you that I've followed the directions as closely as I can - can you be more specific with where you think I'm going wrong?
I have an oven thermometer - the over temperature is 180F. The cannabis is grinded into a powder, so I suppose there's a large SA:V ratio, but nothing so significant as to account for the quick burning.
Having read this thread in some detail, it seems very important that the baking stage is followed to the letter, but I'm loath to lose any more bud.
Unless someone can offer some helpful (i.e. not you Max) advice, I'll try a final time, ignoring the length the bud is in the oven, but concentrating more on the release of vapours and just taking the stuff out as soon as it starts to brown.
I am still curious as to how/why it's going brown so quickly.
