BHO (Butane Honey Oil) and concentrates are becoming more and more popular. They offer many patients the cannabinoids in a highly concentrated form, but they are also doing the rounds more and more among pleasure chillers. Which strain one uses to make the extractions depends, of course, on the preferences of the user, or the medical indication. As already How is BHO actually produced? you can of course also extract low-quality buds and small leaves, but the result is best when very resinous buds of the highest quality are used.
Which varieties are particularly suitable for BHO?
Especially resin-rich strains are suitable for the production of BHO, e.g. many strains of the "White Family" or also most of the Kush Strains. It is also important to pay attention to the flavour, because this also potentiates, therefore Fruity varieties are a good choice in any case.
Juan's Top 10 Varieties for BHO
As already written, everyone has their own preferences when it comes to strains. It's the same with concentrates as it is with weed. I would like to briefly present my 10 favourite strains for BHO:
Warlock is one of the best indicas on the market today. In British Columbia, she is the most prescribed medicinal cannabis. This makes it ideal for making concentrates because of its extreme resin production. When produced well, these have a very intense, fruity flavour and a very beautiful light pink colour.
Warlock won 2nd place in the concentrates category at the High Time Cup 20011
9. Critical Yumbolt by Delicious Seeds:
It is a meeting of two ingenious genetics, Critical Bilbo, the most popular strain in Spain, and Yumbolt, one of the most famous Californian strains. The result is an extremely resinous strain that only needs 7-8 weeks of flowering. In concentrates, its spicy-fruity aroma comes out particularly well and the cerebral as well as physical relaxing effect makes you feel weightless.
Veneno is a very resinous Indica hybrid that has a short flowering time and produces abundant yields. Unique is her very fruity strawberry aroma, which comes out excellent in the concentrates. Veneno has a THC content of 20% and an extremely relaxing effect, her concentrate is particularly suitable for treating chronic pain.
She won 3rd place at Spannabis in the resins category in 2012.
7. LA Confidential by DNA Genetics
It is a pure indica and one of the best strains for chronic pain and sleep disorders. Many patients trust its effect as a concentrate, so it is extracted by many commercial producers in the USA for medicinal use. It is also in my top 10, not only because of its effect but also because of its extraordinary spicy taste, which I like very much.
6. Jack Herer from Sensi Seeds:
Jack Herer is just Jack Herer. Not only is it still the best weed out there, but extractions from it are also extremely potent and appreciated by many patients around the world. It has a wide range of uses, including ADHD, depression, glaucoma, MS, migraines and nausea.
Jack Herer is still the most crowned cannabis strain in the world and regularly wins BHO Cups. It's not my absolute favourite, but it easily belongs in the top 10.
5. G13 Haze from Barney's Farm:
The G13 Haze is, as the name suggests, a cross between the infamous G13 and a Havaiian Haze. The result is a pure resin wonder that has the typical Haze taste and turn, but remains relatively small and only needs 10-12 weeks flowering time. Ideal for indoor growing. The concentrates taste extremely fruity and have a wonderful yellowish colour.
- 1st place High Times Cup 2007
- 2nd place Cannabis Cup 2006
It is a white strain from the White Widow Strain that cannabis has bred specifically for medicinal use. It is characterised by a very strong resin production and high THC and THC levels. Its effect is very relaxing without being too strong on the body.
La Blanca won 3rd place in the BHO category at the Cannabis Canarias Cup.
3. Sharksbreath by DNA Genetics:
She is one of the most popular strains in the USA when it comes to BHO. It is a very potent cross of a Great White Shark with a Jamaican landrace. She delivers enormous yields with extremely resinous buds that have a very fresh, minty taste. It has a very pleasant relaxing effect and takes the mind to new realms.
The concentrates turn amber and have a fresh, menthol taste.
2. Y Griega from Medical Seeds:
She is a medicinal dream plant that convinces with 27% THC. An 80% sativa with a delicious haze flavour that still has a fruity undertone. It needs 80 days indoors, but the wait is rewarded with big potent harvests. She has won many awards and is appreciated by patients worldwide.
2nd place TreatingYourself Cup, Canada 2012, Best Sativa
1st place Cannabis Canarias Cup, 2011, Extraction category
3rd place Ala Cannabis Cup, 2010, Indoor category
1st place Cannabis Canarias Cup, 2009, Indoor category
1. Tangie from Reserva Privada:
Tangie doesn't need a lot of words, her successes say it all: in 2013 she competed in 12 events and won them all, including the High Times Cannabis Cup for best sativa. The genius of Tangie extractions is her awesome flavour, which also gave her predecessor, Tangerine Dream, her name. There is no BHO that tastes so deliciously fruity, with an effect that blows even experienced smokers away.
My absolute number 1 for concentrates!
I'm going to dabble now, hasta luego
Your Juan
