Excuse me if this is not allowed and if you would please direct me twords Anything that can help that would be lovely !
I have failed for my 3 rd time now attempting to mime diamonds for various reasons. Starting with mason jars… failing and moving on to a miner allthough my primary first 3 attempts were with mason jars.
However in my most recent attempt I have used a diamond miner and was lent a very large tank
Of nitrogen.
After putting my dewaxed solution in my vessel and placing the lid tightly on with my oven at about 100-105^f (laser temp gun reads at about 88-100f anywhere on the vessel) the solution on the inside for 3 weeks sat untouched with NO CRYSTAL GROWTH? so then my buddy brought over his nitrogen tank and we burped it down in pressure and re asserted nitrogen and beefed the pressure up to 50. Well it’s been 6 days so we’re looking at 3 weeks and 6 days with no crystal growth… solution just got darker and is basicly the equivalent of the most strong smelling of weed thick ass maple syrup you can imagine.
Sorry for the rambling I sick at that. Thanks a bunch
And 100 in the oven is way too hot. Try just leaving in your room or at 80-85f. 100f is just way too hot. As stated before. It’s not the solvent rather the thca in the terps that crystallize. If you have moving solvent. You probably have too much.
Next aft2r cryo don’t put band on jar until only 1/3 jar left
Seal w band for 3wks
After first 24hrs being sealed the visual solvent will turn into a gas bc 85f …then it’s invisible gas in the head space the jarr…not lost…as long as band still on and lid not bent open u didn’t lose seal…just wait , this is not everything but usually where most ppl mess up
Btw w miner these guys right…u have to slowly let the solvent burp off…then as slowly evaporates the crystals form…
When u get new bic lighter does it become empty bic lighter just by time? No bc it’s sealed completely.
U have to vent miner at certain rate so much per day…the jar just set and forget
I believe I for sure capped the miner with too much solvent. Then made several mistakes through the proces including but not limited to lack of burping. Now I suppose my next question sets like this…
Since it’s basicly for sure not gonna work which is fine and all… what do I do with it
Probally un salvageable ?
Yea I believe the oven was also too hot I was attempting to get the heat to reach the inside of the miner
I feel like I missed a link somewhere between burping and pressure of the miner.
Someone recommended putting nitrogen into it for pressure.
But liquid solvent will create some pressure as well under room temperature. ?
Do u have basically all ur solvent left or has all evap
And if did all evap And nothing which weird…redissolve and start over
Stop worrying about adding pressure…its all about the slow evaporation…the solvent will make it’s own pressure…
which I’m almost convinced all the pressure is doing is aiding to the slow evap…thats having none almost impossible w what we doing
If the material doesn’t have THCa to crystallize, good luck when your investor buys you some stuff that was meant for distillate. You won’t be making feed stock claims anymore. Last years material sitting in a hot environment generally can’t be turned into crystal efficiently.
I didn’t burp it once… totally failed there .
Just blasted another run today into the diamond miner today! We’ll see how it Goes… got a nitrogen tank together too.
so then my buddy brought over his nitrogen tank and we burped it down in pressure and re asserted nitrogen and beefed the pressure up to 50. Well it’s been 6 days so we’re looking at 3 weeks and 6 days with no crystal growth… solution just got darker and is basicly the equivalent of the most strong smelling of weed thick ass maple syrup you can imagine.
