Whats up guys. This might be somewhat of a mess of a post but I’m going for it anyway as this forum has been the single biggest resource in getting started.
Got our first runs through our 5L Apeks. Trying to dial in the settings but want some input on our process so we can adjust moving forward.
Started with 5+/- LBS of biomass. Here the kicker; Only tested @ 2.9% CBD content.
collected roughly 150G of crude.
Mixed 10:1 with 200 proof. 36 Hours at -40C
Followed by another 24 at -40C
Cold filtration through 11micron paper on vacuum buchner funnel.
Warm filtration through Celite 545
AC wash and back through the celite
Rotovap (120-90MBar, 40* Vapor Temp Target, 50RPM)
Ended with 60G of this.
Really just trying to get feedback as to how I can improve the color/yield moving forward, especially before I put it through the SPD.
Is it even worth it to continue running this Biomass? Or just send it back to farm and try some higher % material?
Unrelated:
Labs are in process, but when it comes back higher than .3%, is there a way to dilute it to compliance for use in carts as a crude without cutting/mixing?
Thanks in advance everyone!
