Anyone separate a mix of D9-THC, thcA, terps 43%/43%/14% (approximate ratios). Looking to separate the thcA that is still in solution when the THC to thcA ration is high
Distill off the terps under high vac, dissolve in ethanol, use basic chemistryâŚ

Best way I know how is LLE but Iâm not a real chemist. I was able to use basic pH water (KOH) and heptane to separate the acidic cannabinoids from the neutrals, then titrate citric acid solution into the polar layer to separate the acidic cannabinoids from the water. Clean heptane again to pick up these goodies and that was it.

I would hazard a guess that many of the candidates for âMedusaâ could also be usedâŚ

Try to fraction it with some silica. Wonât get perfect separation but itâll tighten the ratio significantly except d9 and thca will probably elute the same
Thatâs a really dope sop but pain in the ass Fs
Get your hands on a CO2 extractor and fractionally extract each item although Iâve never tried extracting from an extract 
That doesnât actually work tho
I wouldnât give to many detailsâŚyouââll scare themâŚ.
Looking around at this $1,000,000 worth of stainless closed loop and C1D1 regulatory equipment and licensesâŚ.
You are proposing 3 plastic 50 gallons HDPE barrels a paddle and some KOH and vinegarâŚsounds like OlivesâŚand food prep???
ShhhâŚâŚlet the lion sleep a bit moreâŚ.
âTastes like shitââŚbut gets you high as a RAT âŚ.âtoo speedy.â.
âOh, I like the carcinogenic terpsââŚ.
They settle down a bitâŚonce they find it hard to talk and thinkâŚ
Best thing to say: âoh itâs made with waterâŚso its a little weakâ
âYou have to take 3 good hits from the vape bowlâŚ.to sort of get highââŚ.let them figure out what âsort ofâ means in âwater worldâ.
