Here’s some pictures. I’m now over 100 jars strong. Extracted from hand trim, trimmer material & fresh frozen.

So get to googling!
Yes, there is a scientific explanation for how and why it works. No it is not nessecary. It can certainly help.
You can play with sugar to prove it to yourself…

I found this very very cool youtube video…
Now someone please make the same video on nonpolar crashing…

Do u still insist with going with jars rather than a diamond miner?
I’m thinking of purchasing a miner
Don’t know weather to get a 4” or 6” one
I run a 2LB system usually running shake and popcorn (cured material)
Really want to start making some nice diamonds albeit dark end product due to the material I’m processing atm
Yep. I still would prefer jars over miners for the cost and space that miners cost and I sell them
I think if your fire marshal is breathing down your neck or your tired of jar inconsistency. Then grab a miner, but there isn’t really any better crystallization in a miner than a jar
For that extractor. A 6” is the right size.

Thanks for the reply
I don’t think I will buy a diamond miner due to the size issue, jars will fit in the small freezer compartment of my fridge and also help me learn the tek
Thanks !
that should absolutely NOT be part of your “Tek”.
if the freezer compartment in your EXPLOSION PROOF refrigerator happens to be large enough to fit a canning jar full of flammable solvent, then by all means include a cold crash at -20C, but the fact is you A) don’t need a cold crash B) would generally go colder C) can get colder simply using evaporative cooling (pour early).
note: pouring with too much solvent (undersaturated) isn’t particularly safe even in an appropriately rated hood or booth. I’m guessing you have neither. So I suggest ignoring option C. If you insist of cold crashing, use dry-ice and a cooler, and don’t do it inside.

You don’t need a cold crash. That means u can straight away place 10 degrees C above room temp and wait?
Why is a cold crash not required and why are people doing it. To speed up the process?
Okay , I understand. I will use the dry ice cool box technique
Also a cold crash is supposed to be done at -20?
Why not colder?
ill try your dry ice cold crash thing in a cooler.

I said -20C was NOT cold enough. So in addition to being an explosion risk, the freezer in your fridge was insufficient.
Read it again…
As fas as why?
Not sure, but my best guess is that for the vast majority it’s because that’s how they tried it, and it worked, and they wouldn’t know experimental design if it bit them in the face…their ability to optimize the process is therefore severely limited.

Probably. If you’ve got the saturation right (another term many can’t use correctly)

Puddin skin lol
it’s a decent write up…it’s also recent and the thread is currently uncluttered enough that novices can’t get sidetracked (single post🤫).
