I used around 10 grams dry almost powdered leaf material (mostly yellow leafs that FOAF's plant drops all the time) and enough hexane to cover two times that amount (around 200ml). This mix was left for around an hour and then was filtered using a coffee paper filter and put in a round bottom flask so that I could distill my hexane rather than losing it as vapor (I have a nice lab distilling equipment so I could do the distillation kinda safely). When I was left with around 30ml of hexane solution I poured it on a petri dish and put the petri dish in a bowl of hot water. Pictured is the result. This whole process took a few hours and most of the time I was waiting (doing other stuff).
Now, 24 hours later I had a hard time using my extract - I can't simply roll a joint with it crushed as it's not solid, but rather honey like sticky goo. How do you use your hash oil?
Anyway, I got stoned nicely from my product :) It has almost no taste (a bit like good quality hash).
You may have noticed the greenish element in the color of this extract. I believe hexane dissolves chlorophyll very well (better than propane-butane) and that's the cause of the green coloring. I have a question - how would you proceed in purifying my extract from chlorophyll?
