Average amount of CBD extract from 1 pound?

I think at this point in the market the key is to share all the basics and foundations. Creating long lasting relationships from farm to table is the only way that smaller guys are going swim with the big fish.

By sharing knowledge you are investing into infrastructure and innovation with all sorts of people.

Wandered through some of the required math here.

Once upon a time. Numbers game: is your WFE a goer?

As for CBG, Iā€™m going to repeat

And point you at: Panakeia and other Hemp Varieties

Your extraction efficiency is also likely to be lower for CBG, but you can probably crash more of it (based on data posted by @Dr_Jebril iirc).

Exactly how those two balance each other will depend on your solvent choice and extraction temperature/techniqueā€¦

Why do all of these threads devolve into a shit throwing competition

Why canā€™t information be shared

This is what happens when people actually try to help instead of just answering a question. If we answered what he asked, he wouldnā€™t really be getting any help at all. A series of people stepped in to try to explain to him the complexity of the task required to give a meaningful answerā€¦ and those people get shit on for not being unhelpful by answering the question as asked?

Extraction is only the first step in a series of processes, each carrying their own respective losses, and depending on how you want your product to end up you will have to incorporate all of those losses to get to ā€œhow much you getā€. The purer your end product the higher the overall loss you will suffer. Itā€™s always a game of give and take and the devil is always in the details.

The answer is it depends, kinda like what @anon64373531 said originally.

We had no idea what any of the variables for the question were, so to give any answer besides ā€˜it dependsā€™ would have been inaccurate.

@og_extracts, no, no one should expect a hand out, cool if you get one, but donā€™t be surprised if people donā€™t want to give shit out for free. Yā€™all talk about the good ol days, well, shits changed and itā€™s a competitive industry now, doesnā€™t exactly make sense leveling up your competitors.

Itā€™s fucking hemp, of course not

Because the info is here if someone searchesā€¦
Thereā€™s not enough information to properly answer the question form the original post.
And because since he didnā€™t provide enough answers he got smart-ass.
So instead of searching for 15 minutes(lots of searches, reading, and more searching). He asked someone else to answer ā€¦without providing enough information, and didnā€™t ask where he could look up the information. To learn, he gave a laundry list of questions Anaā€™s asked for answers.
Even if he was an investor, or more likely someone looking for answers for an investor, itā€™s doing them a disservice to immediately answer the question
Now I gotta go!

no, for simple questions, those that have been asked AND answered repeatedly, the expectation is that you will go look it up or ask for appropriate search queries if you fail.

Along the lines of Search results for 'yield cbd isolate' - Future4200

https://future4200.com/search?=Crude+yield

you want yield data. its here. including behind several of the links up thread. AND the search queries above.

If this is part of a business plan development, there are lots of other pieces youā€™ll need. Choice of solvent and recovery method can make or break you.

If youā€™re a farmer, and have handed off to an extractor, that discussion has been had tooā€¦

@lov99 Hereā€™s some conservative estimates you can use:

With ethanol extraction, generally you will yield around 10-12% (by mass of input) winterized, decarbed crude from high potency (meaning 15-20% cannabinoids) material.

After wiped film distillation you will be left with about 50-60% of your decarbed input.

You can then process that material for crystallization, which may yield about 60-75% of the input.

Your questions about stems/leaves is not really relevant, itā€™s all about % cannabinoids by mass. If you have material with lots of stems or leaves, take a big homogenous sample of it, and grind it up and get an accurate potency test, and that is your answer on yield. In the canna market with commercial scale ethanol extraction of trim, the industry average of trim is about 6-7% cannabinoids, and the yield is around 7% crude and 3.5% distillate from the biomass.

Message me if you need equipment or more help with your operation. Pardon the rude replies here, but we do like to tease each other on this forum.

Ever explore r/BackdoorGoRe2? Itā€™s actually the most civil Iā€™ve seen on Reddit. People are very real there and I mean that with absolutely no pun intended.

I took about a month or two of keeping up with watching whatever the fuck came up.

I think Iā€™m permanently scarred for life, Istopped watching almost everything from there like almost a week ago but geez man, sometimes people really donā€™t know how good they got it until they see actual cartel murders. I mean thereā€™s a few things that I didnā€™t even bother looking at cause I can only stomach so much but againā€¦

Some people in developed countries seriously do not know how fucking good they got it.

Yeah reddit may be a fucked up place but Iā€™m glad for r/castiron and r/PublicFreakoutā€¦ r/tooktoomuch is funnyā€¦

Idk itā€™s chill and all to watch things but commenting can be so unreal with how everyone swarms with thier hive mind thoughtsā€¦ Like if youā€™re not gonna be with the popular opinion or if a thoughtful question really comes from you you get down voted and chastised a bit too.

I donā€™t use reddit for anything serious but like Future4200, itā€™s a community. I learned to have some kind of respect for it.

I just stick to my principles. Not going on Reddit is one.

I used to bait people on some of the cannabis related sub-reddits. Those were fun days.

I know. Iā€™ve seen it lolā€¦

Makes me laugh that these people claim to back ā€œscienceā€ yet when real scientists and chemists pitch in, they screech and whine.

Reddit wasnā€™t like it was. When you could say what you want on there, it was in its golden era. Memes were born and memes died there. It was like 4chan, but more civil. Nows its an even worse version of 4chan.

I browsed and tried helping out and I think after like 2 attempts I was like, ā€œnope, these peopleā€¦ā€
