Ooof, hard to argue with people so sure of their ignorance.
Crazy to hear they were having so much trouble clearing 5000. Deeper vac!

1000 ppm for ethanol is completely reasonable. Anyone properly drying their extracts can clear this. 500 ppmā¦that could get tough, but do-able. If you are above 5000 ppm, go home and try again.
Whatās the limit for live resin Sauce in yāallās statesā¦
Thatās question for everyone that applies to
What do you mean by limit? Purchase limit?
Or solvent ppm?
The residual solvent limit is solvent dependent not product dependent.
Although some states (legitimately) have stricter limits if youāre huffing it rather than eating it or rubbing on your skin.
5000ppm for āButanesā and āPropaneā in OR.

Omgā¦ OR is pretty lax with the residuals.

Was talking about solvent in it so you can smoke

(Amount of crystals in each dram does NOT show loss) Far left is from my first batch of crystals. i took a small amount and recrystallized them, which is in the middle dram, and the last one is after a pentane wash.
Thank you everyone for your valuable information.

These little ones have been forming for quite some time now. I disolved about 7g of lowerend hash oil into 70g of acetone, thinking the proper ratio was similar to ethanol, and winterized. After vacuum filtering the frozen solution in a chilled filter and removing the acetone to the point of creating a sludgey solutio I capped and allowed to sit at room temp. After burping for a few days to get to regulate the amount of solvent left in solution the crystals started to form. After 2 weeks of being left at room temp the solution stalled and burping didnt make a difference for a solid week so the jar was thrown into a 90Ā° oven for a week and the development started bacj up without the need to burp the jar. Burping the jar seems to help the reaction a bit but it isnāt doing much as of now. Iām doing a larger batch with hplc grade acetone once I get the right reaction speed and will try again with a different batch of oil as Iām curious as to how much of the THC activated while the oil was sitting after being made. Any input is greatly appreciated!

I have successfully growing all of my crystals in acetone. I donāt cap the jar. I place mesh over the jar and tighten it down with the cap ring that comes with the jar. I store this in a cabinet. The ambient temperature varies between 60-90 degrees depending on the day but I have not seen a difference in my crystal growth due to temperature fluctuations.

Iād be willing to send your sample/s out for testing.

Ok how much is residual solvent test, do you have any idea? Iām not really concerned on thc amounts, bc itās sugar sauce I know itās gotta be high, and I dewax as much as possibleā¦
I almost feel like someone could follow the recipe SOP and I pay for the test, wouldnāt it give the same idea, bc the sugar size is consistent every timeā¦ But Iāll do which ever way easiest for you
For the people washing with acetone; what are you using to wash the flower and do the initial recovery of solvent + cannabinoids? I heard āPandasā arenāt safe to use with acetone as the paint flakes off. So is everyone using centrifuges?
I use ethanol and then introduce the acetone after rotovapping. That way acetone doesnāt mess up any of my equipment and I can still take advantage of its properties.
