Then after thc/cbd/cbn/cbg percentage/weight you have to think that the waxes/terpines/ect. percentage/weight, that you didnt extract, may have medicinal properties of there own. the waxes/ terpines/ ect. may affect the type of high from the plant, that you cant experience when you only extract the thc/cbn/cbd/cbg, and discard the plant matter/waxes/terpines/ ect that get caught in the filters. What im trying to explain is the extracted high may be different than the high from the plant the extract came from because there may be medicinal/ effects that weren't extracted because there considered waste. Just wondering.

really sweet that makes feel better about my skills

as for the testing .........i was able to find a test kit for THC and CBDs...........i know i need a mass spec i was looking at them they want 14-32 k for the set up to allow me to get readings print a report and attach it to the shelf with the items on it

That's my line of thinking. They say 5 weeks out for a 1500 psi unit and more wait for a 5k psi unit.

For that matter, the pump alone is probably 1700+

check it man if i still had the response i would post it for u but the court thing freaked me out and i wiped out alot of my old saved mails to make sure they could not be used against me in a court of law

the bench top is the smallest they have it can only hold up to a HP of material ...........the larger units is where the money comes in i think the biggest was 10k

if it is 1700 like i said ....buy me a thank u steak and a 6 pack of beer ..........if i am wrong i will buy a steak and 6 pack for u for sorry i was mistaken ........u know 20 bucks

but some don't understand.. sometimes the best yielding strains.. don't have the best tastes or smells.. and shit.. so you gotta actually look for an OIL producing strain...

I'd have to agree best yield does not mean best oil. Right now working with a new cross from the outdoor summer grow. PEauto x unknown heavy sativa Hawaiian. Extremely airy bud with no bag appeal what so ever and it's weak to boot.... Now the oil is very low yield, 4gms/2oz around 7%. But this is the headiest oil I've ever smoked. If I smoke any after 7pm I won't sleep well at all.

I'd say your results are average. I'd also say that 70% or so of the seeds you buy at the Tude or Herbies will result in a 15 to 18% return. My best was almost 22% but most of the time its around 17.

sweet that is one more thing i can use to get hired to learn more about this area for my own shop

thanks ....was getting worried about not breaking above 4 grams once i did the heat purge(running out of experiments to increase the amount) ....thought i was fooling self on skills and still a noob only ....ppl tell me good things but i am never sure if buttering me up for some reason

now just to make sure i got this 100%
the thc/cbd count listed on the strain of plant i should shoot for that in oil return .........that is the benchmark the goal and anything over that means u are a good grower .....correct ?

quality oil will become the over riding goal once i am convinced it is worth the conversion ..........numbers have to be primary factor in choice of offering it or not because it will divert attentions away from other things meaning need to hire extra person/s .............basing the idea my state will fallow CO 38% tax rate on it i can work numbers out on what needs to be up and running to run the place at break even point then profit will come with the in house making of it so over all productions values are low compared to volume of sell able product ...........(now did that sound good for a investor pitch)

i have a set rep in my area for being one of the most honest ppl around ........that and my shit will lay u out in 2 hits .........so if something does not pass snuff i am not putting my name on it .........the stuff will be converted into something and used for experiments once i get a chemical breakdown of the make up of it so i know for note

the government is anal about notes and numbers so bury them with the numbers and extra info i collect for my own experiments and tweaks .........3 to 5% of everything will be quality checks (us smoking or using it plus the chemical breakdown )

couldn't agree more....

I have always seen lower numbers from organics next outdoor, but fade yall pulled a 28.1% on an outdoor, out standing what was the strain?

Hee, hee, been awhile! As I recall, it was God Bud, but I will need to check with my partner, or the doctor involved, to verify that after this amount of time. Nothing that we normally grew. I remember the amount, because it was the best I've ever seen, though I've heard greater testimonials.

They were grown by a local MD naturopathic physician outdoors, using organic tea with enzymes, and we extracted it for him at SPR using open tubes.

The one variable setting it apart from our normal extractions, is that his buds had been finely manicured, which we don't bother with on our own.

We've also found that strain is the biggest factor, followed by nutrients and growing conditions, and actually average lower than 20% if you include only our high CBD strains, even after we dropped Catalyst.

Once you have a certain amount of bud, it doesn't take balls, just master cases. ;)

You think potency improves when buds are used? Main reason is i already get too destroyed with bho off trim.
