Well I went ahead and tried it. I'd like to find out where I went wrong. I used a little over an 1/8 (3.6ish grams) with 2.5 oz everclear. It boiled down to 1.5 oz everclear.

When I was pre-baking, I baked it at 5 minutes at 325. I saw massive amounts of vapors and the smell penetrated the house at around the 30 second mark, but I continued with the 5 minutes as directed. I moved to the 2.5 oz of 190 proof everclear which was already at 170 degrees on the stove. Left it in there for a little over 20 minutes at 170. Strained, garlic pressed, dosed 3 droppers full. Waited about 2 and a half hours and feel only slightly buzzed.

By this time the alcohol had completely evaporated from the saved bud, so I smoked some to see if I could get high. Tasted like shit, but I got pretty damn high. So I know somewhere I went wrong. At least I saved the bud.

The Definitive Green Dragon (Revised, Updated, Combined) Hi Friends, Since I first posted the Definitive Green Dragon 6 months ago, I have received many great comments, answered many questions, and gained more expertise with the extraction myself. I decided it's time to update my recipe and combine my other posts. The biggest change is increasing the extraction temperature from 150-165°F to 170°F. Below is the original recipe (updated). Tips and techniques follow. Thanks for all the feedback and interest. Rating: 5
