Got another question about getting that “perfect” sugar that some companies are putting out. Specifically, Harvest Moon Gardens out of CA is making this glistening sugar with micro diamonds, super terpy. How are they getting that ideal consistency every time?
We’ve had this happen sometimes when our terp layer/HT sugars up because we agitated it too much, but how would I go about making this consistency off the extractor?
My thoughts were to pull a high vac, cool temps, on a low surface area jar after off-gassing a day to allow the system to enter unstable nucleation zone. What do you think?
Owners constantly want to follow IG hype, so I must find a way to deliver. Thanks in advance!
There just jarring a bho solution that’s already down to almost gone, like pouring far jars, … You can achieve same effect jarring the same material after purging around 30min to hr full vac 80f to keep terps, then jar, they used dried and cured material
Anyone got some more info on this, I feel like I should be using higher temps within the vac oven for this kind of application. It seems to be the more popular consistency besides diamonds, most companies are using a ntane propane blend for it here but thats about as much info as i got, I was hoping someone would chime in.
I left my slab (cured nug run) in a vac’d down oven for about 5 days with heat at 110 the entire time. I was busy that week and came back to find an extract that was ahead of its time. Not sure how consistent the results would be with this tech just my 2 cents. I basically turned the oven into a large multi-plane diamond miner with large surface areas.
Full vac 80f 1hr… take out jar 2 to 3 weeks depending on amount, that’s right jar the honey.after vac entire contents -15 to -20 80f to clean up anything left
You’ll be left with a sauce sugar material if live
Do dried cured u end up w more sugar bho…also adding beginning vac times will make drier…but that’s just bc u purged ur terps away congrats
Works every time hands down without doubt I bet my pecker on it
I’m not sure if you follow them but all of their product is single source fresh frozen live resin. I’ve always been curious what their process is as far as what they’re running and gas mixtures, however I feel the end product is typically a consistent result of their material. The petite crystals may be a result of good fresh frozen, gas blend, and run temperature (which I assume is super cold.)
The consistency isn’t identical every time. Some batches have more jagged and asymmetrical crystals (like the master) and others more petite and uniform (like the og.) One run (I believe the papaya but first batch) didn’t have much crystallization and was more of a consistency typically seen with live resin (homogenized.) I may be confusing the strain tho. Pictured here is the master.
I heard you gently whip the extract on a hot plate then place it in the oven on a low temp? It supposedly has more flavor and the yield tends to be higher? Time, temps, procedure, and whatever info you could share would be greatly appreciated.
When you say jar the honey after the full vac, are you pouring the oil onto a sheet, then after an hour at 80f and full vac, moving that material into a jar, then capping it and leaving it sit for 2-3 weeks, then vac at the end of that time? Please share…
This is my preferred texture. I make this in my collection vessel. Initially I pull half vac and leave for about a half hour. Then I break vac, whip and put back on heat no vac for between 12-16 hours. I usually keep my temps between 85 and 95. The more you whip the finer your sugar will be and the quicker it will sugar.
These are both cured resin from this last outdoor harvest.
I use 80percent propane 20 isobutane
Solvent tank in slurry, injecting through 50’ coil, sleeve filled with slurry
yes if you leave the slab in the oven for a longer period of time it will start to turn into a sugar. But there are other ways as well. He is saying he did this by accident rather than intentionally.
