Is this thca or fats/wax/lipids?

:joy:

Yep. Although it might resemble fried pork rinds, you are not looking at fats. That would be thca.

Yes, by discarding the clear liquid, you threw away the good stuff…

You are neither the first or the last one to make that mistake.

Nor how to extract…

What’s this? What’s this?
I made it making hash.

What’s this this? What’s this?
I threw it in the trash…

It’s white and kind of crunchy,
It gets me really high…

It doesn’t taste like terpenes,
And I do not know why…

Ok … dang… would think I tossed at least 100g out… fuck me…

Si this is the “leftovers” from the last tube I emptied out… so this white stuff caked along the walls and right at the bottom that looks kind of like ice… that’s all thca?

With that much tane bubbling, i dont think its thca unless thats been capped, and in the freezer before the video

Not capped… sitting in water outside bubbling away super slowly at about minus 7 Celsius… the water was not warm yet… and about an inch of ice formed around the bottom of the Mason jar

I think that much tane would dissolve the thca if that was thca, but im not completely sure just throwing logical darts in the dark lol

Here are a bunch more videos… as you can see it took me about 20 min but I redissolved all the white stuff in the first jar… and if you look at the new jars from tonight’s batch… you can see white stuff all along the bottom … this is jarred even before boiling down… just let it sit out 20 min in the -7 weather before I start to boil down…

Dab it… for science!

Mix it with water, while thca will dissolve in water, it doesn’t very well. If it all dissolved… sugars?

What did you extract with, I’d have to assume tane, since you referred to a can, but I think they do 70/30 cans… not completely sure :man_shrugging:t2:

Well it doesnt really… that’s why I made this post… I left the “ice” that was lined along the bottom of my pyrex measuring cups on the counter over night to melt… it didnt melt…so I tried to wash it out with soap and water and what you see in my very first post is what didnt want to dissolve in water.

What’s in the jars on the bottom I can get to redissolved if i cap the jar and shake it around a bit… but it will fall out within 30 min again

Cans I’m using dint say whether 70/30 or if n tane or isobutane…colobri and special blue.

I usually use puretane but they are on back order

Last night’s run(the light yellow ones) along with the previous nights run(the leftovers from the tube… came out golden but turned dark dont know why)

It looks like you’re keeping them pretty cold between videos and pics. How cold, for how long?

Well what you see is at room temp in the house… but what’s in the jar is so cold ots buildingnup ice and frost on the outside on the jars fast.

When I’m blasting its outside … winter… was roughly -7 to -12 plus windchill factor.
Because it’s cold out I have a hard time keeping water bath temps above 75 and sometimes the solvent will make the water icey.
If I’m.doing a big run (4 lbs or so) and I have alot of solvent to boil down(more than my 4 liter can fit lol) what I will do is fill the 4 liter half full or so and start to boil it and use another jar to collect solvent out bottom of the tube… then dump it back into the 4 liter to boil away with the rest.

Today I noticed separation again until I was able to keep water temps consistently high enough to melt it back onto the solution.

based on the way you’re doing this (thanks for all the 1k word substitutes), chances are, much if not most of what you’re crashing out is probably fats.

methanol would probably be the most diagnostic solvent. if your mystery substance goes into methanol easily, then it’s not fats/waxes, and is likely THCA.

my guess is some will dissolve, most will not.
