So I’ve been putting in some work on the quest for nice gem stones. had a lot of trial and error with some success. I’m following the osst step by step with some success but it’s a hit n miss and not repeatable for me so far . Not saying anything is wrong with sop i goofed offed some where just not sure where . I’m currently working on a batch and it seems about 50/50 are doing exactly what they should and the others have me stumped. Below are pics of current of current project
!
The pics above and correct me if I’m wrong seem to be on the right path! how ever the ones below show no signs of progression and have been in the cryo stage for the same amount of time
The variables are that they are different strains but from the same grower. All jars were seeded pior to cryo. The jars in the 1st set of pics were de waxed/ filtered and loosely material packed columns via . And the 2nd set of pics not dewaxed tight column pack and the caps were tightened during cryo phase as well.
The pic above is a shot of a jar from a batch currently in oven for the past 2 days . The empty jar next to it used and marked as a reference on where it was filled, froze and capped .

The pics above are of successful attempts
Sorry in advance for crappy pics
So i guess the questions that I have are
- Am i freezing and capping the jars at the right time
- By not dewaxing certain jars did I mess up or simply prolong the process.
- When I over packed the columns the yield increases so did mess up on the recovery ratio leaving solution too thick ?
Thank u in advance for any help
