Farmer just getting into extraction please help

Don’t get a CO2 system.

A hydrocarbon set up can make anything that CO2 set up will make.
The CO2 set up cannot make the same products the hydrocarbon one can.

And you can get a 5lb hydrocarbon set up for less than $15k.

Is a good price on a decent tool. At least while learning at 5-10lb.

There are even after-market mods for them you can read up on here and here

one of the first recovery pumps actually rated for the task

Check Recovery pump selection

I mainly use them for pressure testing equipment…but they are decent recovery pumps at smaller scale.

Got ya :+1:

As an end product…what do you want to make and SELL?

Work backwards from what can I sell today?

Edibles shatter and carts and would like to try diamonds eventually// I don’t have access to large amounts of dry ice so has to have a chiller .I thought bout etoh but way to expensive upfront n would need a shit ton of expensive equipment

Is “trim” worth $100/kg?
Just curious

In Michigan… licensed market. I’m getting between $150-200 per lb for my trim. That’s what… 300-400 per kilo?

Then you haven’t looked at the problem correctly.

See Eg: Bucket Tek (Cold Ethanol Extraction on a Budget)

learn how a panda (suggested above by @Roguelab ) is relevant.

You already have solvent recovery & purging in hand, so my math says you could be making panda assisted qwet with an outlay of about $500

if you’re aiming a shatter, I’ve got a redirect for you: How to turn "Shatter" into diamonds/sauce/distillate/anything I can sell?

Enjoy those prices while they last. CO is down to $75-90 lb for indoor and $2.50-3.50g for 86-90+ distillate.

Once the hemp-derived bullshit comes to an end, the prices are going to rockkkeeet.

Those are clothes dryers.

But so were BOCK when they patented their centrifugal extractor….back in 1905 or so I believe.

See: Got BOCK? perhaps

Nah, our market is most likely considered more of a matured market now instead of an emerging market since its been around recreationally 10 years. Its normal for prices to go down and hopefully they will stabilize soon.
