Just changed jobs for more money. For the second time (last time a year ago), I failed the drug test and got the job. I was so anxious about it this time, I had to smoke on the way to the drug test. Not bragging/boasting, just trying to give hope to those anxious folks feeling trapped in a...

Yes, you will have water in your solution, to some extent. However, if you then decarb the resulting oil, you will boil off any water left. Water vaporizes at 212F (100c), THCA decarbs to THC at 220F (105c). So, if you decarb for the recommended 30-40 minutes, and wait for all those little...

The wonderful world of I.T.

This!

I would *guess* no, you aren't decarbing. If you google the typical temperature of a slow cookers "Low" setting, it is 190f, THCA decarbs at 220f.

Figured I would post this. This is in Massachusetts. Long story short, I was really starting to hate my job and was looking for a change. Got a really good job offer, but I needed to start in 2 weeks. I'm a relatively heavy smoker. I also have my state medical card. Anyway, I went to the...

You are (basically) correct. Vaping anything with residual solvents is unwise. I don't care the amount. When you heat solvents, they change form chemically and can potentially cause unwanted results, regardless of the amount. That said, if you decarb the crude oil, the result after...

It’s plant wax.

Only complaint I have with the source is it’s size. Less than 250ml per batch is too small for some. Also, and SPD rig will get you better oil, where as the source will give you crude oil (aka RSO) at 50%, an SPD rig will get you polished oil at 85%. for what you said you wanted to do, you...

An SPD rig won’t help with ethanol recovery. You want the solvents gone before you put your crude oil in the rig. Otherwise, it will get pretty violent in your boiling flask, and you’ll wind up muffining the rig. Nasty mess to clean , trust me on that. The mega home gives back 80%, more if...

Keep mind, that chart is is meant for hexane extracts, in an open heat reactor, not necessarily meant for buds. I think they used it slightly out of context. Its from the Journal of Chromatography (1990). Also, its focus is THC decarb, so there isn't mention that when you jack up the heat for...

If you happen to have some THC oil laying around, and want to try a different kind of buzz, give this a try and let me know how it works for you. I went with 500ml of THC oil in a 750ml bottle of Grey Goose, let it sit for 3 days, shook it, and then mixed 1 measured shot (45ml) of the now...

I think you already identified your issue (straining, aka filtration). When you soak your weed in the ethanol, it strips away the cannabinoids/terpenes/flavonoids (the desirables) but also plant fats and waxes (the undesirables). The higher the temp of the weed and the ethanol, and the...

You want to oxidize the delta 9-THC so it turns into cannabinol (CBN). Light, Oxygen and/or Heat will do it. Most efficient way I've seen is to decarb for 15 minutes at 150C-160C. Don't seal the product in a jar, you'll want the oxygen exchange. Also, this is how some folks mitigate any...
