THCa is a solid, so my money is on that they are being misleading

Can you spin rosin to separate? I was under the impression you had to use heat and pressure to separate out the THCa in rosin (solventless diamonds)

Of course you can, as long as there is some thca that has crashed out you can spin off the terps.

As sk8 said they’re the same thing, just a different process to get the material.
I’d think that you’d get better yield off the fuge than repressing since when you repress some of the thca dissolves into the hte fraction during the press

Coa, or decarb happened!
In order to legally sell that shit it needs a COA.
You don’t need a working relationship with the creators, you can simply ask to see the coa in your local dispensary.
What do you mean you always purchase without asking to see the coa? One of those trusting types huh?

They have COAs available that I can access. I got to check out their rosin carts when I toured their facility. Im guessing since it was the owners giving the tour they might have just been misinformed on their own rosin cart process because they dont have any hands on experience nor did they have a part in developing those procedures. They were just the money guys. I dont think its them being shady and trying to lie about their process, there would be no advantage to that strategy.

Simpler = less of a chance to fuck up
Just gonna say that. My expertise is in rosin…I don’t even do the fancy shit for carts. Why you gonna buttfuck your yield and pretend it was worth it?
Mechanical separation is great and all - but where do you put that THCA? That’s right. Not back in the cart.
Do you want a cart that tastes pretty and isn’t close to profitable? Or a cart that tastes pretty (but one knotch down) but still fucks you up (oh and makes you money - because that’s why we do any of this). Easy as that.
This is coming from a guy who has a jar of isolated rosin terps next to his monitor who could do that tek in a few seconds right now. Buuuut I don’t.
But then again I’m a staunch advocate of “if it ain’t fuckin broke don’t fuckin fix it”

All I’m saying is that there IS a very simple way to answer the question…

The rosin I press is way to thick for a cart so how are you guys thinning it down
Did you decarb?
Did you read the thread you posted in?
(Because that was the second post)
Did you try the search tool?
(Because nobody has ever asked that question…right?!?)

Full decarb
If using a hotplate how long and and what temp is best?
I tried some rosin at 250* for 45 minutes until bubbles had stopped but once it cooled down it was still too thick for a cart without adding cbc.
Tried this with diamonds too which sat on the hotplate for and hour and once they cooled they recrystalized.

I’m no expert but 250 seems a bit high, and 45 min seems a bit low my friend.

THC is not known to crystallize.
SuggestIng you either did not have THCa to start with, or still have it after that hr on a hot plate.
Where did you source them?
Open to atmosphere so you drove all the terpenes off as well?!? That would likely be your viscosity issue…

No, I used a hot plate with small glass vials with lids. I used a temp gun to verify the temp of the oil and then began to log my time.
I kept the material on heat until there were no more bubbles and the oil was still. After stirring, it would create the tiniest of bubbles that would pop up from the bottom but quickly stopped when the stirring was over.
The first attempt at diamonds couldve been to low of a heat. I’ve read over numerous posts and watched multiple videos about the process and may need to try 300* for 2 hours next but 45-60 minutes for badder at 250* should be plenty of time from everything I’ve gathered.
The badder was sourced from Rush Hemp Farms and the Diamonds were from Preston Hemp Co.
My bad for taking so long to reply. My suspicion was confirmed, the owners were full of shit when they said there was no decarb on the rosin. They had no idea about the process their techs were using to make the rosin carts. SMH
