I struggled with making extracts for quite longer than id like to admit. Seriously if you want bho that looked like rick simpson oil i was your guy. However through trial and error i have been able to produce stable shatter and crumble. Laughable to you guys I know. But for me its an accomplishment.
The problem im running into is humidity is starting to effect the stability. Michigan winter’s cold and dry Crumble isnt crumbling shatter isnt snapping. I have 1k to spend. Would an oven eliminate my climate problems im having in my garage?
I needed reassurances that im making the right decision.
Any recommendations?
My material is the same frozen trim I have from my rooms always fresh
Winter means lower humidity in most cases so your sugar should be sugaring and shatter snapping and sugaring
You probably have moisture from the material you run in your solvent and it’s getting into your extracts
Get a molecular sieve and the correct beads for it and bake them before using. You can distill all your gas (dump into collection with no material) and recover back through your molsieve to remove water.
Also people spray weed with all kinds of stuff. Are you growing this material or getting it from somewhere else? I’ve found that spraying oils on blooming plants will sometimes leave a residue that gets extracted along with your cannabinoids and terpenes that makes shatter goopy and doesn’t allow crumbles to set up.
Edit: you grow it and it’s fresh frozen
50 bucks it’s water in your solvent. Fresh frozen is tricky if you aren’t getting it cold enough before you extract and keep it cold enough during extraction. Add maybe not having a molsieve or one with improperly dried beads and BINGO!
Dude im asking about buying an oven. I have no idea what that is your talking about. Im a caretaker in michigan in a two car garage i have a two foot glass extractor and a vac chamber thats it. Wouldnt an oven be my next step?
If you want to be a race car driver you have to learn how to put gas in the tank and turn the key first. There are better places for day one info. @Killa12345 has some very affordable equipment and can help with resources on how to learn to operate it safely.
Please educate yourself and stop poisoning people for profit under the guise of medical marijuana
@Brycedad welcome to Future 4200. No one is trying to be short with you at all. Hope you know this…
I came on here asking questions just like you. Then…one day I discovered the search function and my life was truly altered. There is frankly too much great information on here relating to life and the pursuit of cannabis happiness. Since I’ve been on here since 2018 ( 2 different handles) I’ve gone from being a grower to mfg bomb ass concentrates and edibles. Takes time and effort, but to truly know how to be a caregiver and let someone else be the caretaker.
