Need help making thca isolate

[cyclopath]

@WanderingHarlot

We tried at first to crash out but the solution was too saturated.

That sounds backwards…

If no crash == not yet saturated enough.

Presumably you’ve hired help. probably still worth wrapping your head around the problem…

@pangea

IMO, playing with and understanding saturation level is the most important aspect to growing crystals in a sauce. Understanding the metastable zone boundaries and how to manipulate your solution to those boundaries via temp and solute concentration. IMO, one of the the biggest hindrance compared to most crystal growers is the lack of a isolated solvent component to aid in that manipulation.

What we need for THCA and typical terpene/terpene mixtures.
Solubility phase diagram:

Nothing drops out of solution until you are oversaturated…

@WanderingHarlot

When we drain the filter reactor, there’s nice diamonds/powdered isolate on the side walls, none in solution though.

If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the precipitate…

You want crystals, they are by definition not “in the solution”.

Continue evaporating…
