Does the ethanol level look high here on page 2 coa for CBGa crude? It says it’s 124014.632 ppm.
120,000 parts per 1,000,000 == 12% ethanol.
0.12g of ethanol per gram.
were you planning on eating 400g a day, you’d be getting the equivalent of 2 drinks. you’re not.
imo the only problem is the lab director putting ANY digits after that decimal point. chances are they can justify 124,000, but the precision implied by 124014.632 is simply ludicrous. that’s the number the machine gave. no human thought about it.

The real question is can anything that is made with only ethanol or butane/propane or co2 be considered full spectrum when you are only picking up a portion of the available spectrum when it comes to aroma and flavor compounds.
Lots of these have never been seen on a weed coa but that doesn’t mean it isn’t present in weed. Until we fully analyze weed like essential oils we will never know what true spectrum is and what our current forms of extraction are leaving behind.
I’m all for shotgun mass spec, because that’s the type of approach you’re going to need to identify all the constituents of that matrix…

Will CBGa crude decarb just sitting there at room temperature?
No clue.
Certainly a possibility.
Ethanolic solutions of thca have been demonstrated to decarb at an accelerated rate.
Have not seen anyone present the data for cbga, but there is no a priori reason (I can see) the phenomenon should only apply to thca.

The CBGa will just decarb into CBG right?
Yes. Shouldn’t go any further in a hurry. Couldn’t tell you what years at rm temp will do…

The CBGa crude I recently got tested at 70% CBGa back in March. Now it’s testing at 38% CBGa.

indeed…
how was it stored during that period?
how does this qualify as “crumble”?!?
certainly looks to have solvent in it. is that the 12% ethanol shown earlier?
