Welp damn someone forgot to cap. Can this be salvaged?

Just hang in there, you might not get single pieces but youāll get diamonds still
Ok so i re added butane n was able to salvage it, dropped a seed and now theres these weird patterns where the seed dropped and looks like is disturbed multiple layers. Whats going on here?https://future4200.com/uploads/default/original/2X/f/fdaf4e54c22102b28b1e246845f2300946588325.mp4
Am i the only one having trouble getting picture to open

In my head only certain strains can make full bloom. Others have different bloom while soomdonāt bloom. Does not mean canāt achieve diamonds. My reason behind it is they all have different terpenes causing different amount of pressure when capping in my opinion . Same as if you had straight butane vs straight propane.

When you try to bloom in initial freezing depending on how fast thc separates from mother liquid I think has a lot to do with if you get a nice looking bloom. Which is why I feel terpenes come into play changing the speed of thc seperating from mother liquid or I may be completely wrong
what does cyro mean ?

Thank you sir, appreciate it got that going right now but I got my jar inside a coffee Thermos with dry ice and iso instead of freezer or cooler. Obviously not sealed tight haha.
Hey guys. Iām new here. Many thanks for the site and what you guys are doing. Iām a newbie to diamonds, been making bho for 3 years very successfully, I followed the sop step for step Only Iām using 300ml (Iām from England) mason jars. Iāve got 2 jars that Iāve capped and placed in separate vac ovens but for the life of me I canāt stop the lids from leaking/ slash popping. I can literally here the it coming out as a hissing noise. Itās happened on both. Iāve tried 6 different lids now. The two part lid with the band and the single part lids with the rubber seal. Is this suppose to happen? Am I doin something wrong. Iām capping at a 1/3 anyone else have this problem. Any help please guys? 
Yes heres ur helpā¦
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, itāll change the mark just by oil volume

Thanks for the quick replyā:hugs: Iāve 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 itās hissing out. Itās not a massive run but off the same run Iād normally yield 25-30g of shatter. Iām not saying Iām any relation to the diamond yield but to let you know the amounts Iām working with. Going off what you are saying it seems it has something to do with saturation?? My run is small therefore Iām hihgly saturated at the 1/3,1/4,1/5 mark? Ikdā¦
What kind of viscosity are you at when capping at the third mark
? Hereās a pic of my jar and lids. Same stuff as everyone else??

And ur tightening the piss out of itā¦
Those are not the exact ones I use
I usually retighten after first hr and day bc pressure will back it offā¦
You shouldnāt hear hissingā¦ It should seal, and after you saying that Iām gonna say order some ball mason jars ,quart wide mouth with measurements on itā¦ Still thinking itās those bandsā¦ If doesnāt tighten up without losening!
To many ppl do this all the time, very repeatable
You either arenāt getting tight enough or bad jarsā¦
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 hissā¦ But all the visual solvent will be gone after the first 24hrs of being sealedā¦ Itās 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. Iāve tighten them back up and itās rebulged but no hissing this timeš¤š¼ With my run being small you still think I need quarts jars?? What consistency is yours when capping at a third? Iāve spent all night reading most threads. Iām 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 Iām at now. A thin syrup. This sound like I could on to something? Uploadingā¦ Uploadingā¦
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.
youāre aiming for saturated, then slow evaporation.
you started with too much solvent.
which means you were under saturated.
