So I ran all my jars of distillate tails through my chromatograph.
They tested anywhere from 10-40% cannabinoids.
Usually a ratio of 3-5:1 thc to CBN.
I melted it all down in 5:1 methanol.
Stirred for 5h, then froze overnight.
Poured methanol off of big black glob on the bottom.
Tested glob. Dropped down to 18% cannabinoids from 32% initial.
Re-ran glob in methanol and stirred.
Rinse repeat x2.
Got the glob down to about 8% cannabinoids.
Will likely do another pull or two to see how low it can go.

Where do the cannabinoids go?
Into the methanol.

smart! Did you introduce any heat during mixing your tail and methanol?

On the initial melt I needed to. It was stiff as a rock. Heated them separately then combined and stirred.
On the subsequent pulls i found the texture was more runny/saturated. So just did the next pulls at room temp with a quick (1-2h) chill and settle.

That is cool, thanks for sharing.
I see a lot of people through the tail away after the distillation. This is a smart way to do
I ran a methanol LLE on some CBD tails and crystallized with pentane to see what I’d end up with. I never tested it, just threw it in with my next run. This is the color/consistency though. I got 48g out of the 100ml I tried this with. The methanol LLE took almost all of the smell out.

Sooooo goooooood! Lol
Potency testing for flower/trim is amazing.
Able to validate experiments is unbelievably helpful as well.
Wouldn’t to back to running without. Such a difference.
