To Grind or Not to Grind?

not until you tell us which solvent you’re using…

gold standard is the “nug-buster” care of @Graywolf et al.

using a whirring blade will make all sorts of fines and open cells. this is more of an issue with ethanol that the light hydrocarbons I’m guessing you’re using (based solely on “nug run”). it does mean you need to filter appropriately into your receiver if you’re not also dewaxing or going through CRC.

Biomass Grinding at various scales? probably goes into the pro’s and con’s. it’s been awhile since I read it. again, probably more ethanol than 'tane relevant.

maybe scan through some of the hits to Search results for 'grinding' - Future4200
