Hi all. I’m wondering if anyone has tried milling/mixing the media in with the biomass? Might get better overall coverage. Not open yet but I will try next week. Stoked on the community all the cool people here.

Play around with those until you get his. I really want to get one of his but I use it in two places and sizes.

That looks gorgeous!!
I’m going to talk to my brother/co-Owner and see if we can do a media give away to folks that have posted results using our gear so far.
Like a pro bono 500g T41 or something.

I have one strain in particular that is all of a sudden letting go of ALOT of anthocyanins all of a sudden… I DID switch to an unfamiliar 40/40/20blend n/iso/pro from a 70/30 at the ssame time as purple showed up heavier. Nothing else changed… I ha e enough to run 1 3x36" this evening of that matireal. Will try activated alumina in mix.
Has anyone run any the medias packed into a 1 or 1 1/2 x 12" spool… instead of filter stacks?
Just now got most the stuffs and such in and wanna give a more prepared go today at it while Im waiting on more stackins and a fabbed c.r.c.
@Dred_pirate can i show ya what im working with? …
and props on jumping in and throttlin fwd for science… been rootin for ya since early in other thread… Any words of wisdom??
Imma be running a strain known to be dropping mad purple hues. A 40/40/20 blend, i DO have a variety of filter stacks , and a few filter plates and rings. As well as a few powders to choose…

Hey @Shadownaught currently im using the t-41 inline in my extractor in a filter stack 6” column. I feel like after two or three runs the color starts to darken. Is there a certain amount of t-41 I should be using per so much of material or gas I pass through? Do you have a recommended amount or ratio?

How much material in each run, how much t41 are you using until spent, what type of material are you running, how cold is your solvent?
At the moment each run is only 2.5# of material. The material is fresh sugar trim, the solvent is coming in at 0c it’s a 70/30 blend. I tried doing a full run in my 5# system and it came out dark. The drop was a beautiful gold and as it got about 20# of gas through, it darken up. Really hurt to see it get that dark after all the beautiful slabs that came out. It was older material that sat, all the previous runs came out great, by the fourth run on the same filter stack it came out dark smh all bad. Wondering if I should be using so many grams of t-41 to gas going through it

Clay isn’t magic, eventually it gives up what its caught.
A good trial would be washing the clay with hydrocarbon to see what falls off. If you are getting up to 3 runs with the same clay I’d call that amazing and stick to 2 runs before wasting out the clay or trying to clean it.
