Micro/sugar crystals Vs. Boulders

I picked out the bigger ones left… They were all this size mainly but they was quiet few 5x that size…

Is this clear enough and faceted sides enough! Once they get bigger they get defined more

They covered in terps only reason tinted yellow…

The center one was only one the wasn’t swimming in terps when I grabbed… They would drain right off

@Demontrich @BG305 out of curious have either of you tried the process below?

  1. Separate HTFSE from HCFSE
  2. Redissolve HCFSE in another hydrocarbon solvent (pentane or hexane)
  3. Recrystallize using jar method

@StoneD That’s the exact product I’m looking to make.

When you’re jarring what’s your solutions viscosity looking like? Oil like, syrup like, water like, or should be it similar to the solvent you are using?

EDIT:
I should also ask, how are you removing those nice facets from your jar?

I wish!

I dont blast…yet

I do ethanol washes, soon to be running spd.

Here key tip I figured out…
Everyone says smaller taller jars … they make solid Crystallize piece on bottom hard to get out,I’ve heard only!..I like wide and thin(I’m playing w tall thin jars now, I may like better but I think I’m gonna run into stuck to sides)… The wider thinner ,It let’s terps get under the stones somehow and slides right out with a spoon, probably bc not solid layer Crystall where no terps are…

Btw it’s very thin at seal, almost water thin but not… It’s the trick sealing at right level and knowing when to burp and when not to burp…
More of an art…

Move over couple threads and read read read read read read…u have a ton to do!

I use quart wide mouths and it barely comes up inch off the bottom when done,…

Btw always wear ppe and good luck!

About how much do you fill the quart wide mouth with your solution? Also, when you say “btw it’s very thin at the seal” and “always wear ppv” what do you mean by that?

Ppe typo personal protective equipment

Gonna be hard to compare apples to apples, as I may blast a different amount solvent,or have more oil or less in it…

RECOVER or let evap 90% initial amount, pour into jars… Follow 1/3rd rule from there… Read over otss like we all did!!! It’ll help!!!

Btw I don’t know if the op ever intended on having full jars after was all done… That the oil only comes to 1/3rd mark oil in end… So when u pour into jars it’s really saturated

Have not tried that procedure yet. I just blast cold then jar and burp depending on what the lid looks like. If it’s bowed out big I do twice a day. This is what I left behind looks like.

That’s badass…I been waiting on some easier method!..

If you burp every time blimps u burp a lot?

I might be wrong but my general understanding is crystal size has to do with terp profile.

Somewhat, it helps, but w otss your actually forcing it

I’ve never tried without any but I’ve had some without much at all

And was under the impression you can recrystallize just the crystals in same way

This is what happens when you don’t blast cold. I left my column over night and my buddy noticed it was at 55psi in the morning. So he did me a favor and opened the valve at the bottom to dump what was left into the collection pot. :man_facepalming: I have 4 jars from that run that look like this. :rage:

This was the first run I ever did. My boys where standing around like it’s cold enough let’s go, when we where around -30c. I was like they told me it had to be cold my my bro we waiting a little more. :joy::joy::joy:

Live resin fresh frozen has giving me the biggest diamonds I’ve played with dog solvents strait propane gives big diamonds but seems like I’m getting more sauce than diamonds got best results with tri mix ( prop n tane iso) pretty much half crys half suave but not as big diamonds keep in mind strait propane runs very high pressure tubes will reach 90 psi wen dethawing and solvent tank always reaches 90 wen recovering be careful!!!

Super-saturated means there is very little solvent…

If you had so much solvent you were concerned the lid was going to blow, you’re using the term “saturated” incorrectly (backwards).

That may be how you’ve heard it used, but you’ll be better off using the term the way the chemists do…

U ever tried cracking the lid and changing the saturation rate and setting back for week…I bet you get way more to drop!

Any time growth stalls try that first!

I have quite a few liters of tiny crystals, i would like to wash them clean wirh cold pentane then try to grow big diamonds. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I was told ro wash with cold pentane then take the thca and add to room temp/warm pentane does that sound right?
