My first Tincture

This is what 1/2 oz. of Sour Diesel looks like made into Tincture. I followed GWE instructions and used the Green Dragon method and shook the jar for 1 hour to speed up the process. The thing that took the longest was filtering it through the coffee filters. Took about 2 hours. Those are 1oz. Dropper Jars.

Easy way I found was to put a funnel into a clean jar, put a coffee filter in it and fill up the filter. Drips right through for a while and then it slows down. I usually replace it with a new filter when it does. Cuts time drastically I feel like
 
Thanks for the info. The thing I'm not sure off yet is the dosage. Can you advise me on that? I would be considered a heavy smoker. So I'm not sure about Tincture.
 
I usually heat mine down to oil from that but my next time I plan on having a lot more so I'll be keeping some tincture as well. I've always heard start light but I'm a heavy smoker as well. I'd probably recommend a half to full dropper to start and wait a few and just go from there. Me personally, I like to for sure feel my high the first time so I'd probably go full. Hope that helps a little
 
If you want to get rid of the chlorophyll i've read you can leave it in the sun for an hour or two (not hot sunlight, but sunlight breaks down chlorophyll). It should go from a green color to a browner color.

Take 2 to 3 drops under your tongue the first time and give it a hour, if you didn't fall asleep you need more.
I can take about 1/4 to half the dropper filled for bedtime. The colder you can keep that as you work it the stronger it will be.

Congrats, I love me tincture.
 
I wouldn't recommend that method because light will degrade chemicals. The chlorophyll is good to have in Green Dragon: it's holistic.
 
I was not aware of the chlorophyll was holistic so forget my post. However, sunlight is used by professionals to get rid of chlorophyll in oils The trick from what i understand is to not let it sit more than a few hrs. Yes you might get a tiny bit of degradation but i dont think it enough to make a difference for the short period it is in sunlight. Here is a video where the guy does it. https://youtu.be/z58FiH87-6w?t=634
 
I knew sunlight would do it but wasnt sure it grow lights would work as effectively. Now i know!
 
I tried my tincture for the first time and I must say it will become one of my favorite. It took about 30 minutes to get a buzz. It is totally different then smoking. A complete body high. I have to do a better job on decarboxelating, However it's not that I ruined it. Also I have to find my doseage. I started with 3/4 of the dropper. I like it.
 
Did you use everclear? I did everclear and it burned the shit out of my tongue. Now I use vg or cook the alcohol out.
 
Mr.furley, I don't want to fall asleep. But I will take your advise and put it in the fridge. Thanks
