    Was that extracted with frozen material and butane?

    Cant get BHO right

    I suggest soaking less time and winterizing it to remove the plant waxes, before boiling off the alcohol. IE, place the alcohol mixture in the freezer for 24 hours to precipitate the waxes and then filter them out using #1 lab filter or coffee filter. Carboxylic acids are hard and brittle, but...

    Cant get BHO right

    If you concentrate only muffs up a little, it may be because it is already mostly decarboxylated. Purging at 115F shouldn't take more than a couple hours. As soon as the larger multi sized solvent bubble cease. That is a vibrator that was donated to the project, and the mechanical action...

    Cant get BHO right

    I tried a soak system and am not a fan, as it appears to pick up more non targeted elements, which as you note lowers the viscosity. Especially if it is allowed to defrost while soaking. Here is my test sled with vibratory assist that I abandoned. We had our best open blast results using a...

    Cant get BHO right

    I usually use between 100F and 115F for BHO and up to 125F for QWET. It varies with different material. It has been a while since I open blasted, but typically use about three column volumes. What size column are you using? I also freeze my material and chill the butane. What temperature...

    Cant get BHO right

    Old bud can be partially decarboxylated too and three months old will be. Only the carboxylic acid forms are brittle. Retained solvents, including high terpene content will produce a soft concentrate. I personally prefer pull and snap to shatter. It typically has more residual terpenes. I...

    Cant get BHO right

    Old trim is more likely to be at least partially decarboxylated and will stay tacky.

    2/3rds of an ounce of weed WASTED trying to decarb this month.

    The first trick is to recognize the different between solvent bubbles and fizzy CO2 bubbles and the second is to recognize when you hit 70%. The pictures on my site should show the bubble difference, and if you are watching and stirring as you are decarboxylating, you will see a sudden...

    Particle size for BHO extraction

    According to Clarke in Hashish, the trichomes sizes are: 150 microns – large plant debris 130 microns – very large resin glands 110 microns – large resin glands 90 microns – medium resin glands 70 microns – small resin glands and debris 50 microns – very small debris and little resin...

    Closes Loop Extractor

    Consider a Mk IV size Terpenator, which can be run passively using dry ice, or actively with a pump. I suggest checking out BVV or Open Source Steel. Closed Loop Extractors | Closed Column Extractors | BVV (shopbvv.com) Open Source Steel

    Theoretically speaking?? Poppy extraction.

    Here is a link ot the Psychedelic Guide to Preparation of the Eucharist posted by Skyhighler on ICM. It should include poppy preparation. (17) The Psychedelic Guide to Preparation of the Eucharist | International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

    Cold trap questions

    Dry ice or LN2 will both work in a cold trap for a rotary vane vacuum pump. Check with your local supplier to see what size Dewars they can supply LN2 in. You want it as close as possible to your usage, as just sitting around it warms up and vents to atmosphere via the dewar PRV. A cold...

    RSO Never Boiled

    You don't boil the RSO, you only boil off the alcohol. Since a liquid boils at its lowest constituents boiling point, the mixture with isopropyl would boil at around 177F until it reaches the point where the alcohol and mixture form an azeotrope. If you add a small amount of water, it will...

    What route to go?

    I suggest QWET for the least amount of equipment. https://graywolfslair.com/index.php/9-diy-cannamed-production/9-4-extraction/9-4-7-ethanol-extraction/9-4-7-1-qwet/

    Is THCa Federally Legal?

    D-8 THCA isomerized from hemp CBD is proscribed in some locations, but D-9 THCA is how it comes off the plant and is in widespread use worldwide.

    Green Dragon, couple of questions..

    You can make green dragon from trim, though I recommend brown dragon. 160 proof will extract the concentrates, but will include more water solubles. You can reduce that somewhat if you use QWET for your extraction...

    Why won't my dewaxed bho slabs stabilize?

    We typically purged in less than 4 hours at 115F.
