I’ve been using BHO sugar in my edibles and its been taking about 3-4x as long as shatter to fully decarb
I set aside time in the morning so the decarb is fresh and now my process is taking way longer than it should. I was just wondering the reason for this
Same hotplate, same beaker, same temps.
Heidolph HeiTech @ 180c 1000ml beaker 100g sugar - taking 2 hours +
Ive noticed a stirbar at 100rpm speeds up the time a little bit
You have to add extra heat to break the crystal matrix? With shatter you are melting an amorphous solid. With sugar you are melting a more structured, lower energy state material.
Same reason you need your Enail hotter to deal with diamonds…
But 4x seems loooong.
Edit: …so I’d also suggest you’ve got more volatiles you’re boiling off.
yes ive noticed the decarb loss is slightly more with the live terpy stuff, was thinking water content and terps
It’s usually very high purity with no decarb, even shatter will have so amount of decarb.
