How many mgs of cbd isolate can I add to a 30ml MCT solution before the cbd begins to crystallize?

Done 12000mg in a 30ml a handful of times with no issues.

That’s less than 50% if my math is correct. Cbd shouldnt crystallize lower than 50%

The solubility limit is 50% in pure mct oil, at room temperature.
But it get lower in other oils richer in insaturated fatty acid, like about 30%.

Later edit: in fact the solubility depends also on the composition of the MCT oil. The one Im using is limited to 32-33% cbd. Adding abit of hemp waxes to it can make it up to 47-48%.

Behold, I have achieved the impossible. I have recrystallized 1g of CBD within 24ml of MCT oil!

This does not seem like it should be happening haha. I think there is something wrong with this “coconut MCT oil” The density is very low, 0.800g/ml What is the density of MCT oil that people are typically using? Could be something with the MCT oil (brand pictured) or perhaps there is something wrong with the CBD? It was given to me by a trusted producer as a free sample, but I didn’t actually test it. However, it sure looks like regular old CBD to me.

FYI: This was recrystallized in less than 15 hrs at room temperature (~65 degrees).

alchemy right there lol, how did you do that?

Dude, I have no idea what this shit is! Obviously not MCT oil!! I have a hunch it is cut with, or predominately mineral oil? The density of the liquid at room temp is closer to mineral oil than MCT oil. I went ahead and got some MCT oil at the grocery store and confirmed that true MCT oil density is about 0.91g/ml. Also, the CBD stays dissolved in MCT oil. Hah.

damn that is interesting for sure, i would be contacting that company asap smfh who cuts mct oil? lmfao

What’s the Function to figure out solubility ?

Is there a formula to figure out solubility for hash oil + mct or coconut oil? I want to cook trim down and add coconut rather than butter. I want the maximum ratio of thc/cbd to mct

Does this change using full spectrum or when adding thc distillate to the function?

Huh please explain
What’s your question ?

Adding THC will help inhibit CBD crystallization, yes.
Not sure on an exact equation of function to determine exactly how much.

But as Rogue said, 50% CBD by weight seems to be a good benchmark for where crystallization will begin.

I am working on cooking up hemp and T in my kitchen. Boiling a lb and adding coconut oil. Cooling to a handling temp and squeezing in a strainer bag. Placing bag back in pot with a stone on top. Pouring the oils/water back in pot and letting cool and separate. Then taking oil off top to make water soluble tincture. I have not tested potency yet. Pretty much same as making butter.

My question is this:
What would be the best way to figure out Maximum solubility for hash oil in carrier oil. Meaning is there a way I can figure out a ballpark for the minimum amount of carrier oil/fat to boil with my biomass?

Looks like cbd is crashing out. Would it be safe to say it’s more than 50%?

Density of MCT should be abput 0.91 to 0.94.
So this is seemingly not pure mct oil, but a blend witg somzthing pretty light, likely not an oil. Does it smell ? It should not.

In addition, does this cbd isolate behaves the same in other oils ?

Once I was asked to analyse an isolate, it would dissolve only in hot ethanol (at 10g/l, which is far from solubility limits) but would instantly reprecipitate as solution cooled down. That time I suspected that they employed a sort of mysterious precipitating agent. So far I did not figure it out.

Can this concentration be achieved with hemp oil carrier?

There are many constituents of coconut oil, I recommend using C:8 solely to eliminate the issue of the MCT crashing near room temperature.
