The THC should be stable to these acidic conditions. As for other compounds; who knows what else could happen. It is impossible to tell without careful analysis. I'd just stick with a good modern high thc strain. Good luck HM

Well I did some more research into this "isomerization" of thc. In reality the reaction you mentioned in the first post is an acid catalyzed cyclization of cannabidiol cbd to THC Just google "acid catalyzed dehydration of cbd" So if you have some herb high in cbd you can definitly increase...

I think you're on the right track if you have large volumes of trim and want to only do one extraction. I have not used a bubble bucket personally but they seem to make great hash . For butane extration use very dry trim we rubbed it on hardware cloth over a bucket to pulverise it and get rid...

That looks like some type of soxlet extractor. A solvent is poured in and heated to a boil at the bottom portion. There is a mesh cup at the top full of clippings and it gets continually extracted by hot liquid(heat is bad). This method is effective but much less precise. You must use organic...

RW, Yes the isolation of pure natural products requires some very specialized (read $$$$) apparatus. Thankfully I had a great reseach group. I would not worry too much about the bubble bag unless you like hash. Supercritical fluid extraction with butane is very efficient and you'll make...

I would say it's not nearly as dangerous or remotely as toxic as making meth in a bathtub... performing a reaction on a mixture is just sloppy chemistry. LH20 is a media used in size exclusion chromatography. We had 8ft tall columns packed with the stuff. Solvent is passed through the column...

RW, I'm a professional organic chemist and drug discovery scientist. I would definitely advise against this kind of "bucket" chemistry. There are a wide variety of cannabinoids and various and sundry other organic (oil) soluble compounds in a oil extract of cannabis. There are probably some...

If you have a drain at the bottom of your bucket/pot make another bucket with a drain at the bottom and attach a second bucket of nutes with some tubing. This will increase your volume and keep your nutrient concentration up and thus your PH down. I quess I could have just said add a reservoir...

slo, Just google 'ask lucas' and you'll find a all the info you'll need from the horses mouth. I'm about to switch to DWC for a White Widow/ Bubba Kush grow and the above thread is very helpful. cheers. HM

Loola, Thats a beautiful little lady you have there. I'm just waiting for monday when my rooted clones 3x Bubba Kush and 3x white widow are delivered by my provider..Its like a dream 25 strains to choose form with no sneaking around.. I'm new to this bubble bucket stuff and can't find definite...

I've been growing in dirt and soil less media for 20 years and I'm really interested in dwc as a more precise growing technique. The state of MT voters passed our MM law by 60% and now Obama's AG has said no prosecution so why not try something new. I'm a lifelong chemistry dork (now prof...

Hello, I'm a newby and about to start my first RDWC grow using 6 five gallon bubble buckets. I'll be getting my rooted clones on monday and I'm trying to plan every thing in advance. Been lurking an searching for a while and will be using Lucas Formula with FloraNova bloom. 1K HPS +250W HPS. I...
