Nice ask!
Might find some starting points here Beyond CO2 density, "vapor pressure" method boosts THCa throughput
Pretty sure there are a couple of other discussions around here that have links to the primary literature. Probably in reference to terpene extraction…don’t recall a deep dive into the theory
Poke around a little, imo it’s pretty easy to see who the friendly CO2 wizards are…and it looks like you’ve been here for a bit.
Consider tagging individuals you think might have the knowledge you seek into the discussion directly…or simply asking if they have any suggestions for reading material when you figure out who they are…(they provide salient advice in another relevant thread)
wow! You seem to have a good handle on the theory, any chance you can point me at appropriate resources for getting there myself?
Maybe see
Manipulating super critical co2 solvent density to target specific compounds in cannabis
To get an idea where my head is?
I have absolutely seen crystalline THCa in an early Apex or Eden lab separator…
They thought it was so neat, they bought the thing to a high times event, and were offering dabs (apparently NOT from the THCa)
