YOC Dirty Diamond Tek - THCa isolation from Crude

@Sirplantsalot

I didn’t realize it had to evaporate

Then you’ve missed much of the class (the section on crystallization) and would probably benefit from starting again from the beginning…

@cyclopath

Lose the conceit that this is a cannabis specific trick you’re trying to master.

Play with sugar water….or alum.

Cannabinoids are expensive and light hydrocarbons bring risks to the table that you can sidestep till you’ve wrapped your head around the important parts.

Understand what the kids are being taught.

@cyclopath

Playing with Alum may be informative…

See if you can beat the K-12 kids

Or at least learn what their teachers are feeding them up front…

Pressure is a red herring. You’re not working with carbon crystals.

Without crystallization, you’ve got nothing to spin out.

Edit: what temps has that ethanol crude you’re working with seen? Any level of decarb makes this more difficult…thc does not crystallize
