I was going to post this earlier…but decided not to…
but it is certainly an open question…questions…
What does this mean?
You just extracted at -40 and dissolved your THCA.
Do you mean crash THCA from butane -undefined Terp soup-plus new butane contaminant…
It would be nice if just someone would take some of the 99% plus THCA chalk
and call it standard. Then working with the THCA standard, just do a solubility
in n-Butane (mole/lit) chart vs temperature.
How do Terps promote crashing when in the trichome-soup ( in situ) the THCA is
not crystallized? How can it be one small contaminant in “new Butane” when you
you are crystallizing out of “terp=soup”.
So once someone does THCA solubility study vs Temp in butane with a known and defined standard…you can start to talk about the effects of mole fraction of terpenes
on such solubility…?
Using THCA chalk standard and recrystallizing diamonds from Pentane…
prove to yourself that you can poison this crystallization method by adding
“new Butane”. Get the Terps out of the set of variables.
these are just off the cuff thoughts about the “butane fast crash problem”
best…
