do you know how old your nugs are? dark usually means you’re extracting too warm or the chlorphyll in your bud has degraded over time. you can mitigate some of the dark colour from old bud by doing super short (<2 min) runs at like -40 C

So is this a response to @Nimo (two days ago, doesn’t have a CLS & has green extract)
or to @GreenSmoke (two years ago), our OP for this thread?
…cause @Nimo (for instance) might not get that it matters.
Can you explain how @Nimo could achieve that on the closed column?
They do have a dewaxing sleeve, but based on “green” I’m guessing they’re not using it (which is why I asked)….

@Nimo imo you’d get a lot more out of this if you were an active participant in exploring your process…
You’ve got two folks with suggestions best accomplished in a CLS, and you have also made one…
Are you waiting to purchase a CLS before exploring further, or do you have some other reason for wandering away without responding to folks who are trying to help you figure this out?
Colder! And your marterial may just be old or improperly stored or cured happens from time to time. A lot of people.dont think this is extraction stuff until they decide to blast ?
I’m not the biggest fan but you could run some media that would help but personally it makes the exact taste and smell way diff
Not sure you’re paying attention @N710ate …
(That’s the WHY behind asking YOU if you were using a CLS…)
How exactly could @Nimo
in their closed column set up?
Not saying it can’t be done; I am asking you to think about how your advice might be best implemented
How cold can @Nimo run the solvent into the closed column before getting it back out becomes an issue?
How would they solve that?
Do you imagine they have the tooling on hand?
Or would someone need to explain it just a smidge more?
You may be correct that it’s the material…
But I suspect it is a particular aspect of said material, not that it’s old or improperly stored.
@Nimo believes they are using primo material…
Not saying any of your advice is wrong (if running a CLS)…but it’s not specific enough if the person you’re advising doesn’t have the required gear.
@Nimo: have you decided to upgrade to a CLS yet?
You seem to expect the answer to be handed to you without the need to answer questions from the rest of the class.
That’s not how this place works dear bro.
When you don’t respond to those questions, you severely limit your ability to acquire the answers you seek…not only that, the folks reading along by at home, who are also trying to figure this shit out, ALSO learn less.
Your call.
But you did ask…
