What’s up folks
Need help on some r and d
For research sake I need coa s of fresh flower
Or fresh frozen flower ( outdoor or indoor)
Preferably outdoor
OR Bho extracts made from fresh frozen flowers ( live resin)
So basically coa s of plant material that had little or no time to dry
Since the flowers produced in the USA are of a different density and quality than what I can fetch here in Europe
AIM of this r and d is to find the sop for cannabinoid free HTE (hydrocarbon extracted )of cannabis at scale
At scale it s possible to do on cbd stains but
Now it s time to figure it out for the THC strains
And I need data to get a view on average cannabinoid content
Please help you can send it by DM or post it here the more the better at least 100 Coa s is my aim
Thx regard @roguelab
Let me look through an old laptop I might have an excrl sheet on coas if the actual COa doesn’t matter.
Please do what I try to figure out is the amount that decarboxilates when fresh
We should have some data. Been running mostly cured so far.
Just got a COA back on a decarbed cured resin listing 20% “terpenes”!!!
Some cured might be interesting as well if you are willing to share the method of curing
Unless it s the Marocan way 3 weeks on a plastic tarp in the blazing sun
I know the carboxilation rates on that already😎
I dont have coas but from experience once trim hits the 4 month mark its not as easy to get ur extract to crystalize out.
If it’s stored well I’ve pulled appreciable amounts of ‘a’ from year old material. Just gotta be willing to sacrifice what little terps were left to a heavy remediation to reduce the additional pigments and other contaminants. Definitely only good for reformulation and pretty much demands a recrystallization if you want it to hold up to thca from better sources. Fresher just makes the post processing a lot easier usually. Anything over a month that isn’t stored pretty cold has very reduced sauce amounts though which ultimately makes separating it cleanly a bit more difficult.
I find heat, even for short periods of time is the real killer. It’d be cool to see a bunch of research on that too.
Centrifuge aided crystallization? Or chromatography?
None of the above basically @Termite sop
For thc remediation
DON’T have any!!
all our FF so far look to have decarbed before third party testing…
@anon45638961 has been so kind to send me a very long list of data for which I am very gratefull
and these numbers have proven my fear that there is no such extract with NO decarboxylated cannabinoids no matter how fresh
if my calculations are correct fresh frozen always has at least 0.7% decarboxylated cannabinoid content and fresh cured a minimum of 4% decarboxylated cannabinoid content
so that’s the challenge to get out without using reagents that leach into the extract
and without reagents that grab any other compound other than what I wish to remove
as for thc removal I think @Termite s approach makes the most sense and I think there are better sieves than the 3A he played with for the task
so I have a bird view of what needs to be done If any one still has coa s please post them for science sake
Glad I could help
I would argue that your data set is incomplete, and I have plenty of data to contradict your conclusion. We regularly have less than 1% decarb (0.3-0.59%) on a vast majority of our cured, decarbed resin that was extracted from nearly year old biomass.
I think you are seeing artifacts of post processing and solvent removal, not the actual decarb present on a plant when chopped, whether live or cured, but I have been known to be wrong before. We’ll see about getting @cyclopath to send some COAs over to you next week.
I’d be very interested in this information as well.
I sure hope so
To achieve cannabinoid free HTE
Having to corner the acidic noise is plenty of work
