Yes heres ur help…
Cap at 1/4 mark instead
This is coming from everyone having DIFFERENT amounts of oil laden solvent, not everyone has same amount oil dissolved, it’ll change the mark just by oil volume

Thanks for the quick reply:hugs: I’ve already done the 1/4 mark cap and the 1/5 mark cap (haha I recapped as I was losing it) and still the pressure build is too much and it’s hissing out. It’s not a massive run but off the same run I’d normally yield 25-30g of shatter. I’m not saying I’m any relation to the diamond yield but to let you know the amounts I’m working with. Going off what you are saying it seems it has something to do with saturation?? My run is small therefore I’m hihgly saturated at the 1/3,1/4,1/5 mark? Ikd…
What kind of viscosity are you at when capping at the third mark
? Here’s a pic of my jar and lids. Same stuff as everyone else??

And ur tightening the piss out of it…
Those are not the exact ones I use
I usually retighten after first hr and day bc pressure will back it off…
You shouldn’t hear hissing… It should seal, and after you saying that I’m gonna say order some ball mason jars ,quart wide mouth with measurements on it… Still thinking it’s those bands… If doesn’t tighten up without losening!
To many ppl do this all the time, very repeatable
You either aren’t getting tight enough or bad jars…
If outter band strips when you try to tighten it then you need new bands
BTW my lids buldge out every time, not ton but definitely up!.. But never hiss… But all the visual solvent will be gone after the first 24hrs of being sealed… It’s gonna look like thinner oil after first day being sealed, no longer at 1/3 Rd mark

Yeah real tight and then some! Possibly is the jars but Idk. I’ve tighten them back up and it’s rebulged but no hissing this time🤞🏼 With my run being small you still think I need quarts jars?? What consistency is yours when capping at a third? I’ve spent all night reading most threads. I’m thinking its was over saturated. I thread I read said, if I understood it right, around a 50% saturation of cannabinoids to solvent solution. Worked well ie in my situation as I know I usual get around 25-30g I should have around 60-70ml give or take. Which I believe I’m at now. A thin syrup. This sound like I could on to something? Uploading… Uploading…
undersaturated: too much solvent, not enough cannabinoids (solute) to precipitate (crystallize).
saturated: solvent is carrying as much solute as it can hold. remove solvent, and things will start to ppt.
super saturated: more solute in the solvent than it can carry. ppt is imminent. crystallization will be rapid, and fine grained.
you’re aiming for saturated, then slow evaporation.
you started with too much solvent.
which means you were under saturated.

Not enough solvent it I see solid frozen later…
BTW u can still achieve diamonds, just wait till 1/3 level which close and seal…just want be singular diamonds
Lately been thinking solid frozen during cold crash equals to super saturated I think the word
And white sand no bloom may be too much solvent… More test to find out soon but I know for sure if it freeze layer you let to much evap before cold crash…

Diamonds made with puretane pass residuals, it’s a more sugary diamond run mixed with sauce, purged 4-5 days @85 full vac. Hope that helps any of you who don’t have this priveledge get an idea…

Now that’s a cold crash… Any insight…dewax or not?..we’d love to hear more
I have a :27 vid of it forming but the file is too large to upload and I am not allowed to post links yet. Whole plants minus fan and non-sugar leaves froze at -80c in a lab freezer for 24hrs within 2hrs of cutting. Inline de-wax in my closed loop system. Was wet so didn’t weigh but guessing it would have been a little over a lb if it was dried.

Short vid before they dissolve

I must be doing it wrong, mine never do that that’s awesome! I’d say you got it down!

You will probably get sugar, I believe you have not enough solvent left, the one I had like that practically dried up, so i had to start over, does anyone know if it’s the butane contents causing crystallization? Like traces of pentane causing it to be less polar so it’s easier for them to drop out of solution? I’ve only had luck using puretane the other 2 crashed like so far like @b_mk6 but I know I had plenty of solvent, after capping they sludged up so I added puretane redissolved re crashed for 6 hours and got decent sized sugar, I haven’t tried a propane blend yet, just curious after seeing the residuals tests I got back…

@Baked-All-Day hell yea man!! can you post a picture from the side of the jar?
How viscous is the solution?
I’ve been out of cold crash for 2 days at 85 degrees and I haven’t seen a glimmer of anything I want to compare to see if I have to little or to much solvent
