What qualities make RSO "good"

@7elevin

Should I stick with the standard 1 to 1 ratio or can I stretch the ethanol further because of the room temp extraction.

rm temp…

@Renchi

Yeah, so far I’ve only managed 30lbs per 5 gal.

of course your milage may vary…

@7elevin

I was only planing to let the fresh frozen material sit for 3 minis but plans changed when after 3 minutes almost no color whatsoever was extracted from the plant material.

because your target molecule is GREEN?!?

@asmythee

The “home made” tincture recipes always stress keeping it in solution for a very long time (days to weeks or longer), and taking it out and shaking it regularly. Often there is a suggestion that shaking it longer or more often will help. Where does this come from? All the pros in forums I’ve seen seem to suggest times like you guys did. Any ideas on why this disconnect persists? I would have thought the edible recipes/tincture people would have heard by now?

Where does this come from?

Lack of analytics.

It gets darker. That must mean it’s more potent…

it doesn’t.

it actually means it’s less potent (more non-target…)
