Nope.
I said don’t remove the antioxidant(s) in the first place.
If there is nothing more susceptible to oxidation than your cannabinoids, it is your cannabinoids that will oxidize when you add heat and oxygen.
If you dont get all the “sauce” off your thca (or maybe add a little bit back) and decarb in the absence of O2 (lower temps help too. Eg 100C, but that 11kg batch was at 130C) you won’t get red or purple. You will get yellow or amber.
My best guess is you used up the residual antioxidants on your second go through…by cooking for several extra hrs.
How do you decarb without O2?
Eg If I Decarb under Vacuum, would I avoid Oxidation?
Argon and N2 are also options.
How do you fill carts in an inert environment?
In a glove box. Under N2.
…and then there is the cart hardware, metals are great at catalysis and the metallurgy of the cart can clearly be pointed to as the culprit in many cases (the heat cycling helps too)
As for
Mea culpa. There are side effects to using large amounts of cannabinoids to manage chronic pain…I had forgotten this exchange….
I don’t understand is a great starting point.
Rather than you wandering away, how about I shut the fuck up and let others answer your questions in terms that the googles can interpret for you.
Sometimes they really are that simple…
