Diamond mining sop
- [ ] Recover hydrocarbon run to 5 to 10 psi.
- [ ] Remove collection or begin pour spout prep.(set up jars or Pyrex etc)
- [ ] Fill vessel of choice 1/2-2/3rds with resin/hydrocarbon run.
- [ ] Let sit at room temp for 30 minutes -45 minutes till you notice slow of percolation.(at this point cap the jars loosely)
- [ ] Set jars in oven(no vac but can n2 backfill to keep percolation volatility low) or onto heating pad at 85-90 degrees f.
- [ ] Leave jars for 1.5-2 hrs then pull from oven.(purge n2 if by venting exhuast if used)
- [ ] Set out at room temp for 1 hr till cools to room temp as you don’t want to have a indirect heat transfer & break your vessel hold precious oil/solution.
- [ ] Once cooled, set in dry ice bath cryo or chiller ( needs to be minimum -65c)
- [ ] Let crash for 18-24 hrs then inspect formation growth.( if satisfied with faucets, pour off mother liquor then recrx stones in heptane to bring out very clear pure diamonds. If not satisfied yet with nucleation then set till ready & continue with the steps of recrx.)
- [ ] Take pour off(depending on if it smells appealing to the nose purge it at 75-85f in the oven for 12 hrs or till percolation stops, if nose isn’t great, crc through preference of media either w1 or 300g t5 top:200g silica60A column then allow to sit back in cold crash steps to see if any remaining cannabanoid is in the solution then proceed to purging of terps in oven steps again.(this can garuntee loq terps if dome properly.) - ( do the crc column step inline on your run & it will garuntee faster crashing as well.)
- [ ] Once fully happy with the growth of your faucets, depending on how your vessel is setup( jar I would stick in over at 90f till sides of puck sweat so you can slide it out or Pyrex should be lined with parchment or oil slick mat unless you’d like to do the steps for the jar then either scrape or begin breaking faucets apart for final wash with freezing pentane & then continue to purge them at 85-90f for minumum 12 hrs.
- [ ] Once purge is complete you can either enjoy your adequate faucets or break them down for small packaging.
( it is optional as well to recover to -5 to 0 psi & then drop oleo resin into a terpene blend of your choice for a co-solvent crash, please include Limonene at atleast as it’s a very fast crashing terpene. )
If y’all benefit from this then By all means post your science art
Pyrex I’d suggest either a ziplock seal cover or press n seal to keep the saturation at peak.
