A buddy's came out very amber with a tinge of green. Is this a problem? Seems to carry a good punch. Its very "hashy" tasting. It never got above 170 for sure as he baby sat it the entire time. If it sits for a bit, a layer of very dark "oil" looking stuff forms on the bottom and it needs shaking. Wondering if the tincture reached saturation and thc was "falling" out. He used 11 grams of ak and ended up with 3 ounces of "amber" dragon. appreciate everyone's help.
just wondering....what do you think would happen if you allowed all of the alcohol to evaporate from the finished gd solution? would the resulting dried powder or residue be potent enough to put in a pill and consume? what do you guys think? I'm thinking about doing it myself to see what happens.
I do just that and smoke it, it can be quite good. Other than that it would take longer to get into your system and just guessing you would not get as high for that same reason. The alcohol helps to get it into your system a lot faster than ingesting it without it.Quote:

I broke it into pieces (12) about the size of a baby aspirin and smoked some as hash in a pipe, as hash blended with weed in a joint, and just eating one of the little balls like an aspirin on a empty stomach.
The quality of the buzz was quite nice and a lot stronger than I had anticipated. If I had the resources I would like to try this again with a 1/2 of the best weed I could get. If it could turn crap into gold, I imagine something high end would be incredible in a concentrated form.
i'll be trying this tonight and i'm pretty pumped. Made brownies for my first time the other night and they turned out great, so I'm pretty confident in my concocting abilities.
i'll be using an 1/8th of some good (hopefully White Rhino :jointsmile:) and pure ethanol from a chemistry lab. has anyone ever used pure ethanol?
once a verdict's reached, i'll hop back on tonight and share the results!
so if i just use some mids, it will be weaker, but does it still work. more droppers? how much should i use of the mids? just cant afford the dank!
i have used a water bath for some unrelated tasks for the reason that you can get consistent temp control. a huge part of that is the object in the bath shouldn't be touching the bottom of the pan. that leads to a direct heat transfer to the bottom of the beaker/jar.if you are using a super thick pan that might not be so drastic . With a thin one it could be very high. if on top of that you have plant material sinking to the bottom of the bath insulating it further.... idk just seems like that might be contributing to some of the inconsistent results?
Followed the recipe..but did compromise on the bake...could not stand 325...but seemed 200 too low. So I did 310 for 5 mins.
And used 4 oz of everclear and 1/4 oz super high end bud ($160 in the club)...and boiled down to 1 oz...one dropper full (I guess I got 30 or more droppers in the batch) gives a very nice high...comes on in about an hour. By 2 hours it is strong....and lasts 5-6 hours.
Did 3 hits the first time...man, that was a nice trip!
Anyways, I think I'm done with smoking...this is the way to go!
Congratulations and welcome to the Dragon way. Be warned, I can't do the big doses too often or my tolerance goes through the roof. But like a 1/3 of a dropper supplemented by a few smoked hits an hour later does wonders.Quote:
