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.
why not just answer? its not some secret technique. ive never had my material tested but nowadays I get raped selling bho to everyone but the few who kinda overpay. i get between 12.5 to 25 percent yield using butane on thc buds Nug runs no more. id presume the buds are between 18 and 25 percent thc The bho is maybe up to 80 percent I presume on a good batch?
This is what happens when people actually try to help instead of just answering a question. If we answered what he asked, he wouldnāt 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 answer⦠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 āhow much you getā. The purer your end product the higher the overall loss you will suffer. Itās 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 āit dependsā would have been inaccurate.
@og_extracts, no, no one should expect a hand out, cool if you get one, but donāt be surprised if people donāt want to give shit out for free. Yāall talk about the good ol days, well, shits changed and itās a competitive industry now, doesnāt exactly make sense leveling up your competitors.
Because the info is here if someone searchesā¦
Thereās not enough information to properly answer the question form the original post.
And because since he didnāt 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 didnāt ask where he could look up the information. To learn, he gave a laundry list of questions Anaās asked for answers.
Even if he was an investor, or more likely someone looking for answers for an investor, itās 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.
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 youāll need. Choice of solvent and recovery method can make or break you.
If youāre a farmer, and have handed off to an extractor, that discussion has been had tooā¦
@lov99 Hereās 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, itās 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? Itās actually the most civil Iāve 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 Iām permanently scarred for life, Istopped watching almost everything from there like almost a week ago but geez man, sometimes people really donāt know how good they got it until they see actual cartel murders. I mean thereās a few things that I didnāt 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 Iām glad for r/castiron and r/PublicFreakout⦠r/tooktoomuch is funnyā¦
Idk itās chill and all to watch things but commenting can be so unreal with how everyone swarms with thier hive mind thoughts⦠Like if youāre 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 donāt use reddit for anything serious but like Future4200, itās a community. I learned to have some kind of respect for it.
Makes me laugh that these people claim to back āscienceā yet when real scientists and chemists pitch in, they screech and whine.
Reddit wasnāt 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.
