Im trying to do my job better and learn a few things. What is the optimum amount of solvent to add per pound of cannabis when extracting oil.

3:1 to 10:1 depending on your temperature and material quality

edit: solvent type and system help us answer better

Thank you . I’m running ISO and I try to keep my heating coils around 84.

5 is good
10 is better

Thank you. I pack socks and put them into a 4ft column. Will making sure my material is ground up make a difference of the type of yield I get?

Honestly depends on what your running… anywhere from 3 to 10 depending on material …

Who actually runs 10:1? I’ve always ran chilled tane at 4-5:1 and I’ve gotten amazing results

5:1 for live resin and 10:1 for dry

Ive always used a full tank per run. Maybe its not always completely full but my collection holds a full tank.

I do regularly. Fire material often takes a little more solvent when running cold cold…compared to say…shit material.

see: Solvent to Biomass Ratio for previous exploration…

or Fresh frozen solvent ratios if you’re into that sort of thing :wink:

Variations are endless. Depending on your application and goal ultimately :innocent:

Just to be clear, it seems like the common consensus is a 10:1 ratio for wer and 5:1 to maybe 7:1 for dry? Is the reason we are not doing 10:1 on dry because of the loss that happens? Or would more be better for dry?

8:1 dry

I thought 8:1 was the bho standard and 10:1 the eho standard

I think you would want to grind it up to expose the most surface area and allow the solvent to easily flow out of the material. Though I am exposed to CO2 extraction.

Also a great way to pull chlorophyll and fat.

Break your bio up when it’s cold and brittle. Fuck grinding
