What is the original extraction method?

Terps arenāt the same as waterā¦all liquids arenāt the same weightā¦doesnāt work like that.
Iām sure that you get more in grams. My source changed to grams and explainedā¦Iād get like 20% more in some cases.
*Edit
Iāve also noticed different amount of drops in ea cultivar & batch as wellā¦back when it was in mlā¦
*Same dropper
X strain - 44 drops in 1ml
Y strain - 38 drops in 1 ml
Z strain - 40 drops in 1 ml
Iāll add a picture to better explain
How many drops of water in a ml ?
20
Whatās the mass of water then ?
Terpenes are technically an oilā¦ if they didnāt float itād be a significant problem lol.

Plenty of oils that sink that s another story
But to claim that my statement terpenes float is inaccurate is foolish
Like so often the guy on the ground knows best
And in the case of terps they float

Should they even be water clear? What would cause the pigmentation?
Personally I like to refine the terpenes as little as possible. Iām actually not sure what molecules are contributing to the pigmentation of the complex. I would really like to able to see full analyses of these complexās in the future. A full COA on a terpene complex that shows flavonoids and other contributing compounds.

I like the way you think.

Iāve done exactly what your doing rnā¦so Iām just gonna golden rule it.
Your incorrect about the weight.
I never claimed to be smart. But Im far from dumb. (*Not implying your dumb.)
@Roguelab is spot on about terp density. They weigh less than water, so if ur getting ā20ā terps, getting 20g of terps is more than getting 20ml of terps.
20ml terps is roughly 17g.
20g of terps is roughly 23.5ml.
Most cdts are in the 0.85-0.89g/ml range.

Reason you probably have the best flavor resembling the flower they where pulled from
I really hope folks will learn that full flavor is more than the terps and that some of them have colors
As for full panel coa I wouldrecomend laboratory s in France if your terps are thc free
They have more standards than the average
Definetly in the compounds that are NOT terpenes
@bolagirl whatās the name of the French lab?

Terps for sure arenāt THC free
Actually going to send a sample off this week to see how much THC actually contributes to the complex

There is a wide variety of hues I get with these āfuller spectrumā terpene complexes. Along with different viscosities. With test comming back at no more than 35% terpenes detected I would be very intrigued to see what else contributes. Thereās nothing like strain specific terpenes.

Then sending them off to the lab in France is not a good idea sorry

May I ask where this info is coming from? Can you show the source?
In my personal experienceā¦all the 100% pure CDT Iāve been getting 1 gram is more than 1 ml.
Cannabis terps not replicas. (Excuse me if your advanced CDT guy or something idk)
But tomorrow Iāll fill up a 1ml vial and take a picture.
1ml terps I say it will weigh less than 1 gram.
Iām positive 1 gram weighs more than 1 ml of CDT. If some how it doesnāt Iām going crazy. Mandela effect .
Thatās not 100% pure CDT then ā¦more of a hte yes?
Technically pure CDT doesnāt have any cannabinoids present. Pureā¦
Not saying yours arenāt really good. But Iāve absolutely had pure CDT ā¦(water clear) tasted exactly like the flowers it was extracted from.
Especially if your base oil is clean. After a 3 day cureā¦tates just like dabbing.

Which is consistent with a density of less that 1g per mlā¦think about it some more.
You even fucking state it yourselfā¦
