Hi All,
I wanted to gauge interest in Co2 hemp terpenes.
We are waiting for our lab results to come back then will be sending in to get slanger verified. This is not a for sale post just a general interest inquiry. Our initial pricing point will be around the $20 per ml mark. Assuming all labs check out, anyone interested in this type of offering?
The color is a clear red amber. Post extraction processing so far has only been winterization. I wouldn’t dare guess the cannabidiol profile, lab will tell us that. We plan to perform remediation if It comes back hot.
When I do mine, I average 35%-40% cannabinoids (THC ND), and the reddish color.
Winterization can be done with methanol and activated alumina, rotovap, then distill to pull all residuals. Some carry over, but that’s the nature of the beast.
Ye spending on input material. Fire fire trim had come out as high as 2.7% thc in the terpenes. But our average leaf. That yields 12% thc crude oil on from the biomass That average terpenes pull has about 1 % residual THC
These are steam distilled Hemp Terpenes, 2 strains. The clear and yellow are a merlot harvested about 3 weeks apart. The Red was from a red Bordeaux that was harvested as late as possible. Only guess is that the age of the plant and to a degree the strain brings out the darker hues. We see some of this with our hop and mint extracts. Certainly dried vs fresh extracted shows color variance.
CO2 terps usually run pretty hot from what I’ve seen. CO2 always just generally has a lot more of the heavier stuff— cannabinoids, sesquiterpenes, and nonvolatile terpenoids.
