I have access to lab testing($75 per sample)
so I’m going to try this experiment.
2 samples of RSO made exactly the same with the only variable being to Agitate or Not?
105 grams per test sample placed in 64 Oz ball jars. 230 plus grams of bud were striped of stems by hand, placed in vita mix blender, then pulse blended on low until a grinder texture was achieved.
Freezer T stat is maxed at -24 Celsius. I suspect that the actual temp inside will be close to -30 Celsius. I have a 3rd party thermometer inside but it’s maxed at -20. So I’ll check with my infrared. It’s been on for 3 hours.
-40 is where is doesn’t mater how you measure your temps, everybody’s thermometer reads -40.
How long do you have to wait for the result? I heard too much agitate is not good, but It would be interesting to know if agitate makes difference and if so, how much,
Kick ass freezer man, I get more from shaking for 3 to 5 minutes in a paint shaker I keep the everclear and the bud in the freezer over night and then make my rso oil. Very curious about the results you get thanks for doing this
Might be a case for another test at some point. I was directed to just loosely break the flower off the stem and hand break it. That way no (or less) plant material is disturbed. I don’t know as I’ve only done it a couple of times.
When i do big batches i use the coffee bean grinder and press the button just enough to where it’s a little chunky and broken up otherwise it seems to take forever before I used the paint shaker i did 45min to 2hr soak people always say you degrading the tch but I’m like it’s not Mexican brick weed so i don’t care. I get really great hash from the coffee filters too. Hell you know what you’re doing awesome work great job
I’d say if your worried about cholyphyll lay the grinded bud out on a sheet of news paper over night let it ear out all the green on it’s own then re freeze?
Are doing to do a qewt run to like a 10 second wash and compare those results as well I bet those concentrations of thc are higher but your agitated will be higher in the very thing else qwet is more for trics only rso is full spectrum meds no?
I will agitate 100 grams for 15 minutes. That is my traditional method, so I’m calling that the control.
The other 100 grams will be soaked for 15 minutes in the freezer, that will be the experiment.
Looking for a better quality oil. The theory is that agitation is not only extracting cannabinoids but also inert plant wax and resin. So if it’s better quality, then the question is how much cannabinoids did I sacrifice.
