Didn’t even think of that but that makes even more sense as well on the labs end.
I noticed the N/A on some pesticides and residual solvents as well.
There is a mystery peak near d8 that is sometimes mistaken for it. I’ve talked about it before but didn’t post, I will try to this week.
Also d8 can be made on accident from high d9 oil. When people cared more about water clear d9 it was always kind of a bragging right to be able to make it with only d9 and not convert the d9 into d8.
Acidic carbons, acidic silica, acidic clay all help strip colors and can all cause conversion from d9 to d8 after redistillation. It’s possible this oil went through a color remediation process that used one of the mentioned consumables.
Pesticides are another clue that this is not conversion. I would think bifenezate wouldn’t be there if it were converted from cbd, which is easy to remediate through crystallizing again.

I don’t think it’s a conversion. The minors don’t make sense for it.
If it is…. That’s some pretty damn good work.

No way lol. I see 2-3% D8 in tons of samples that were not made from CBD. Very common in hydrocarbon extracts ran through CRC. All different extractors (many are members here), all different crc SOP’s. Pretty sure most labs just don’t care enough to differentiate the D8 when they’re told it’s a D9 sample but it’s there. Try telling the lab there’s a little D8 added and suddenly they will find what was always there.
Surface area, heat, acidic dirt. Ripe conditions

Sloppily run conversion mixed 50/50 with regular D9 distillate.
I got $100 on it anyone in?

95%+ is good
So do you agree with me that this is just shitty run conversion mixed with regular distillate?

I’d definitely guess it’s a conversion
Especially with cbd and d8 in there

There are ways to mitigate it but this is 100% true.

This looks much more like a partly isomerized d9 distilate, rather than a conversion from CBD.

Thats what i noticed.
CBD and CBG and D8, 5%??
Either really shitty crude and material turned into crude or its a conversion. Either way its still shitty distillate.

There’s almost always cbd and cbg in natural distillate
Ethanol extracted d9 often has more cbd and cbg than hydrocarbon
Are you Elliot or someone else?? Maybe a new name

Well no conversion is good to me. Also get this, I spoke to the rep of this brand, I used to know the owner of the brand directly but since stopped working with him, probably about 8 months ago I dropped him. Anyway, the rep, he said it’s cheaper and theres no difference when I asked him about the converted liter and said I think his carts are using converted dist. Said he can “put in a special request for better distillate” but I know he won’t, he thinks they’re true high quality when its food grade terpenes and well, questionable distillate to say the least.
Essentially he said, “it’s cheaper and people don’t care or notice and I can request higher quality I just don’t have a reason too”

No. I have stated I’m not elliot, my main is @CapitalismSucks420 and its muted. I cannot change names, I have dm’d sidco about a name change with no response.
Trust me, I want to change my name on here
And yes I know flower has CBD and CBG, but what about other minor cannabinoids? Wouldn’t there be more? And the fact the rep also said what he said is more evidence in favor of it being converted, and the high D8 with low D9. Im not chemist at all but this is just my 2 cents off what I’ve been taught here and shown here with the word of the rep I asked about this.
My buddy distilled with no CRC for a while. He kept on getting D8, even though he said the pH was in check. Turns out exposure to oxygen from leaky seals was his most likely culprit.
EDIT: This is all anecdotal. I’m a grower, not an extractor.

Hmmm so poorly pH balanced product can lead to it, bad crude can, and more.
Also, @AgTonik what do you think of what the rep told me.
His explanation was well, pretty typical, its cheaper to use converted but not higher quality
Easily a converted product at 5%imo

We should really have a game show like this… “whats this product” Have the distiller purposely spike some d9 with some d8 and other fun stuff… i think it would be interesting. I think any COA can get fucked up… I think any distillate can get fucked up as well. Who really knows is the person who made the product. The rest of the speculation is just that. Its better than some of the straight d9 ive seen… who really cares as long as its sold with a COA… and the buyer knows what they are buying.

A lot of people get coas now that show no details because it’s for a product that doesn’t have standards yet. That’s where things get a bit different.

Thats what i sorta thought when @Kingofthekush420 posted this…
The D8 in that graph is coming out way before the d8 window.
