I definitely will, once I get it down. I don’t want to video my first try. In case I burn the house down or something.

Ok, so these first 2 Source runs will be without using the ultrasonic cleaner.

I’ve downloaded the owner’s manual and installed the app. I have a quart of 190 proof alcohol in the freezer.

My first runs through the Source will be:

  1. Doing a second processing of THC trim; first process was 11 days ago, after which the strained green material was frozen. I am running this through again because I didn’t have cheesecloth to properly wring out all the good stuff, so I know there’s more in there.

  2. While that’s going, I’m going to decarb 2 oz of Casino Cookies CBD trim, then freeze it for several hours. By then, the first run should be done and I can strain the CBD and start processing it through the source.

I am hoping that by the end of today, I have another 2fl.oz of THC tincture and at least 6fl.oz of CBD tincture.

Ok, yesterday’s run went very well! It turned out exactly how you’d expect such a dark green/black tincture to turn out. :joy: I knew this going in. Still, the first run was absolutely a success, even starting with reprocessed and severely broken down trim.

It took 6 hours to process one pint of liquid. I wasn’t able to wash the CBD yesterday, because of that. Instead, it’s been waiting patiently in the freezer.


I ended up with 10ml tincture and 2 grams of hash goo. The goo is going into Tootsie Rolls.

First CBD run went very well! Well, except at the end, when I was removing the lid, a bit of alcohol dripped back into the crucible.

I’ve estimated this batch, made from 2 gr of 21% CBD trim (cut down to 4% for being trim), has approximately 2240mg of CBD, that includes weight loss from decarb & processing. I only have 2oz dropper bottles, because I am an idiot.

That perfect little number just happens to be the amount of CBD I go through in about a month.

Right now, I’m just going to make tinctures in the Source. Once I get that Sourced to perfection, I’ll try to make vape carts.


Thinking about adding some Durban Poison or White Widow terps to this tincture. I will follow the instructions sent with the terpenes, if I decide to do it.

Plus the tinctures, of course.

After drying for a day, the THC oil is looking less RSO-y. I have been kinda stirring it and spreading it around every so often. After checking the Source fb group, it seems a lot of people will allow their oil to dry on a silicone mat, and kinda fold the goo and stir it up over a week or so.

Love kicking my alcohol extraction into the next gear! Lots of new stuff learn!

If you can spread it thin real thin it will crystalize mine did in three days where it was thin it’s like shatter. You could prob get it close by just giving more time tho.

OK, called it good. :grinning: Haven’t tried it, yet. I will attempt to dab a bit, first. If it’s nasty smoke, I guess I’ll just have to make delicious weed snacks of some sort or put it into capsules. Either way, I’m happy.

I didn’t really want shatter, but I didn’t really want oil. This is a great compromise.


Weight of final product: 3 grams
Made with 4 fl oz of tincture (from a 6 fl oz batch) where absolutely no hash oil was removed from the original extraction, which I then ran through the Source. It was originally extracted, via qwet, from 4 oz of extremely sugary Six Shooter trim.


Tonight, I decarbed 2oz of Casino Cookies CBD trim, then popped it in the freezer for tomorrow’s first Ultrasonic QWET Source Experiment.
