Good vacuum when distilling. ?
Cbc can be formed when O2 is present
And breaks down to cbl

first pass is usually around 1000micron, second pass down to 150-250.

just felt like normal run. i know i get some conversion because my gear is crappy chinese, but this is absurd lol

The most astonishing i find the thc-a
Not even the CBL

I have had several batches along the way with these kind of mistery s
I always keep them to see if they crystelize or for what ever other Discovery that they are involved
Of non i can Defenatly appoint the culprit

problem is i have 1500 more lb of this material to process… i’m in the rec market so i need THC! gotta figure out what’s going on.

thank you for all your insights everyone

If you have smaller gear do a perfect run (low vac) see what that brings
One could water wash the biomass before extracting then dry and proceed
For ethanol
Or humid for hexane to rid the sulfor

What’s the best way to up the ph of ethanol/oil solution? (After filtration, before solvent recovery)

Best and safest is a water wash
MgO is used as is baking soda

Awww man, I really don’t want to add a whole new process… i need to buy a big reactor and do the whole seperatory funnel thing?

54

You can Mickey mouse a separatory funnel for real cheap, it only needs to work a few times. Get creative with jugs and buckets. You may need a glass turkey baster to get the last drops of the aqueous layer…

@Ruwan might be able to isolate this compound for further testing

CBL formation via CBC degradation is one route, I believe
(Has anyone here seen or worked with CBC isolate?)

Any labs that are currently testing for CBT? I would be willing to bet it’s one of the impurities in some of my recent ∆8-THC samples.

57

so does this mean i can get rich by overcooking sulfur contaminated hemp to remediate thc?
