I VERY loosely followed subcool's(the canna-god) guide. I used all RO water to prevent anything other than thc and plant contaminate from being in the final product, as well as RO ice cubes. One thing I didn't do this time was use crushed ice, but I'll use it next time, hoping for a larger yield than 2.2 grams. I used around 6 ounces of FRESH, and frozen bud. The larger fan leaves had already fallen off of the plant, and the only pruning done was removal of the bud from the stems. 15 minutes wooden spoon mixed, with about 1/3rd of the bud, got that beautiful caramel hash. I got some slightly darker caramel hash for the final 2/3rds due to recycling the water. I also got some DARK nasty hash, which I promptly sold to someone. Next time, I'll use only sugar leaf, instead of just rushing.
