I adore cbg for my adhd, not so much thc as my tolerance is EXTREMELY low. With Texas trying to ban all cbd/thc products... If someone doesn't smoke, how would one best extract cbg? Several strains I see says the biomass has high amounts.. Is that same process?

Reposting due to issues with last post.

I've recently obtained some THCa isolate at a very reasonable price that I'm trying to decarb to mix with crystal resistant full spectrum CBD, however I'm running into serious issues.

Despite using constantly increasing temperatures, I seem to be unable to fully decarboxylate the THCa leading to it crashing out into crystals several days after my carts are filled up.

I started at 125C for 4 hours in a convection oven for 10g. When that crashed, I put it back in for 145C for another 4 hours, that still crashed out, and now even with 160C at 4 hours I still have huge amounts of THCa recrystallizing.

I was dumb and didn't weigh my initial container, which I will do on my next batch to ensure I have 12% mass loss.

But if even 160C for 4 hours wasn't enough, I'm not sure where to go from here.

Was there simply insufficient heat transfer in the oven for it to fully decarb? I was using a calibrated oven thermometer the entire time to verify the temperatures.

I plan to use an oil bath at 150C for my next batch, but does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Ive been experimenting with hash for the past few months. 2nd time trying Moroccan and I can't get enough of the smell lol. It smells like the bottom of my mom's grinder in 2004 😭🥰. So nostalgic 😢.

I am trying to make some carts out of shatter and was wondering if anyone knew if I needed terps in the cart?

the flowers need to be dried to make dry ice kief?

i just picked a random one but the other option was indica cherry gelato lol does getting raw affect my high?

Started experimenting with live rosin gummies and chocolate. I have a strong suspicion that I may have the gene that doesn’t allow you to process edibles to get similar results as smoking. I can’t process medications the way other people can, recently my doctor mentioned that people who can’t metabolize pills correctly tend to not really respond to edibles over all either.

In college I ate a cookie a friend made that sent me to the moon for a few hours, but never not once have I ever gotten a good buzz off anything I’ve eaten since - even in high doses. All sorts of products and dosages and strains from shops as well as friends and baking myself, the most I get is a little sleepy and then I’m wide awake a few hours later but no buzz to speak of.

That cookie from Age of Old was supposed to be eaten in pieces, but I shrugged and went for it all. The baker estimated the equivalent of 100mg.

I’m wondering if I really do have to eat ten damn gummies to actually get anywhere.

Hi, any MBM users in? I'm getting x4 28g of trim leaves tomorrow and I want to make the strongest tincture I can. I've used x1 28g with decent success but I'm wondering which process will give me more potency. Do I...... Do it all in 1 batch or do x2 then double infuse with the other x2? Or am I over thinking it and it will all be the same?? Thanks 😊

Help needed! I’m decarbing BHO to make live resin carts, but I keep running into the issue of losing terps when opening the jar to stir/whip/homogenize. I was wondering if there would be any potential issues with adding terp pearls to the jar, in order to homogenize without needing to open the jar? Would it shatter my jar, or would my theory hold that it would help homogenize whilst also helping regulate the temperature?

How diffrent do they perform?

Good Day!

I am a Medical Cannabis patient and I am wanting to make my own Luster Pods/Vapes. When I Google search, there are thousands of different methods but I am looking for the best solvent less extraction method to where I can make my own vape carts out of my harvested buds. Anyone have any ideas on a process that is relatively cheap and doesn’t require the use of solvents? Apologies in advance if this is a stupid question. I’m new into making my own medicine.

Ok so quick question here...

I have been making my own cannaoil quite successfully over the last 6 months and have a nice routine and recipe to make lovely little 00 caps...

But im stuck what to do with the left over plant materiel after infusion into coconut oil at 180° and currently have about 2 oz waiting to decide what to do with it

Can I then soak this left over material to make a tincture ?

Am i better of baking it into brownies cookies etc

Or is it just waste product and better off just disposing if it..

All answers and help greatly appreciated
