Someone gave me a bunch of buds that no one wanted because it was like hay but had little crystals on the buds. Perhaps there was also a seeded out female one male plant and all mostly sativa buds or trimmings or whatever. I didn't want it laying around or throw it away and thought to try the RSO. All I could find was 91% ISO at drug store. It was all really dry and froze it with a couple gallons of the 91%ISO and whatever pans that were to mix it in. Followed the procedure with exception of coffee filter but used two splatter guards as a filter. At end of the procedure rice cooker needed to be moved around rotated until noticed it was slightly being burned on bottom of rice cooker. I then threw it into a baby croc pot that slightly simmered out the rest of the tiny bubbles then waited 10 more minutes of swirly motion before syringe.
It still has this hay smell but pulled out about 22 grams of oil and plan to give it away.

I would not want to give this to someone if it is not done right or will get them sick. The oil is black when thick but golden brown when smeared. It does have a hay type smell and could be contaminated with chlorophyll or something due to no coffee filter. There is no alcohol smell.
Is there a way to rewash this oil and filter it? The grain alcohol will work? Is it possible to reuse/recycle the oil stuck to bottom of rice cooker and baby crock pot?

Also Woozy how did it go with Sannies strains.. outdoor in Aloha?
Well, I don't recommend the 91% iso. You can order the 99% iso online. I also only recommend using a metal cup with a coffee cup warmer as it is not as hot as the mini crock pot. Also, next time be more careful not to burn the oil in the rice cooker. It is very easy to damage the product that way.

Since it was made with iso you can clean it up and make it better. That has a lot to do with polar and non polar solvents. Take your finished product that was made with the iso. Put it into a metal or glass cup. Dilute it with a good amount of 190 proof Everclear grain alcohol or even a higher proof grain alcohol. After it is well diluted, put it into a jar and then into the freezer for at least 72 hours. Then take the mixture and run it through a paper coffee filter (I filtered it into a shot glass then poured it into my purge cup) and get it back into the metal cup or pan for the coffee mug warmer. Purge it to the desired thickness, stirring occasionally. Your oil should be cleaner after that.

Please let us know how it turns out.

Here are some pictures of the process.

I did a comparison on this winterizing. I just took a quick picture to point out the difference. If I would have had some light behind the syringes it would look prettier and more transparent. The darker oil on the top, I winterized iso oil with iso. The lower syringe I winterized the same iso oil with 190 everclear. The polar non polar thing is very important. As you can see, the winterizing of the iso oil with 190 everclear came out more clear. Iso and grain alcohol go hand in hand when it comes to winterizing. It is rather simple to do too. A good thing about the grain alcohol when purging is that it doesn't stink the house up nor does it seem as dangerous. When you are finished purging the everclear, you can be confident that there is no iso left in it at all.

I did this experiment with very clean oil. It is wasteful to do this with clean oil. Far more effective with a dirtier higher chlorophyll oil. Excluding winterizing, forget about winterizing for a minute. If you are already making a good clean oil with iso, you may want to dilute it with 190 everclear and purge that. Then you know for sure there is no iso left in it whatsoever and you know it is completely safe in regards to solvents.

Gray Wolf knows more about winterizing than I. There is information posted at SkunkPharms web blog site. I used that to help get me started.
GrowGoddess Reviewed by GrowGoddess on . My Experience with Rick Simpson Oil A while back, I kept hearing about it, read about it, and also about other concentrates. With my experience in using cannabis, from Colombian Gold, Thai Stick, Strawberry Cough, to Querkle, finger hash, different types of medibles (brownies, butter, cookies, candy) the medibles never really impressed me. I am sure they work for others, but for me, they did nothing. I also found it hard to believe the testimonies on the Run From the Cure video, that cannabis, when used correctly, can cure Rating: 5
