Tincture concentrate

[Fomerballer]

Question. I took my trim, leaves from Northern Lights Auto and ground them up to fine. Next put grind on cookie sheet and popped in over 225° for a hour. Had about 1oz. next cover with 140proof alcohol. Put in freezer and shook Dailey for about a week.

Next filtered twice and got about 8oz liquid. Next put on hotplate with a magnetic stirrer, evaporated down to about 3oz.

Am I doing this right? The color went from dark green to now almost black. Will this be a good tincher?

Hoping to maybe use for night time sleep. I don’t smoke.... any thoughts? Thanks

It will work just great. I don’t grind up fine just decarb, cool then soak for a day or so in fridge. Then strain and use. I always evap some alcohol if you don’t when you use in a recipe it really tastes like alcohol. I use it in gummies.

It will work great! The dark color is from the chlorophyll and other water soluable stuff. The good stuff is in there too, don’t worry.

Could be the strain you are doing with this? THC content
