Thanks, I plan on giving this another try when I harvest my next grow. Last time I got around 3 oz of frosty trim. I think the extra volume will give me much more extract to work with. As it stands now, I only ended up with about 5g of crude product that I will need to refine. I probably won't...

Yes. All of it fit.

Nearly all of the chloroform has been recovered. Now I just need to do a vacuum purge it to remove the rest.

Yes that is how I make it. I use about 75mL of acetone for a bottle of bleach that is 8.25%. I shake it and let it sit for about a day to settle out, then I separate it. Once separated, it should be distilled at least once to get rid of all the other stuff that may have been in your bleach and...

Just finished the extraction. It is a nice dark green. Almost black looking. The next step when I wake up will be distilling the chloroform out for reuse. Then I will setup for Vacuum distillation of the final product.

I just started the extraction a few hours ago. Sadly the claims that chloroform has a low affinity towards chlorophyll have been greatly exaggerated. The extraction turned green instantly. Oh well, it was a chance I took. No harm done, just means the vacuum distillation afterwards is...

I am a chemist as a hobby, and I am currently majoring in chemistry in college. Chloroform is about the easiest thing to make for me.

I decided to make more chloroform last night to make sure I had enough to do this extraction. I will be using about 26 grams of bud that I have ground up and decarbed. From what I have read on the net (correct me if I'm mistaken) I should be able to get about 10 grams from that 26 grams of...

I have been wanting to try extracts for a while now, and I have been doing a lot of reading on the topic. While I would love to be able to do CO2 or butane extraction, I do not have the equipment needed to do that. Ethanol, and Isopropyl Alcohol are the most common method of extracting...

I have both in my laboratory. Dichloromethane (DCM) has a very heavy smell, and chloroform has a similar smell though slightly less heavy and more sweet. There are more than a few reasons for wanting to use chloroform. 1. Reduced coextraction of chlorophyll. 2. Reduced boiling point. (61.2...

While you're not wrong about phosgene, chloroform is still used to this day in extracting compounds from plants for medicinal use. The risks are very small seeing as the amount of phosgene that is created from the break down of chloroform are tiny and if the proper precautions are taken can...

Has anyone tried extracting using chloroform?

Chloroforms BP is 61.2 C or 142.2 F. I have high hopes for this.

What I mean is. By distilling you are boiling off the product leaving behind the unwanted stuff. As you know heat will break down thc into cbd (i think it's cbd), a less desirable product if you are after the high.

Lol all good man. I am going to try chloroform. Supposedly chlorophyll is sparingly soluble in chloroform, but cannabinoids are much more soluble. Plus chloroform has a pretty high vapor pressure which means it will leave the product with only minor heating. Not to mention the low boiling...

If I do an ethanol or isopropyl extraction. Is it possible to distill the product without losing potency?

Chloroform is a chlorinated solvent. Chlorophyll is the one you're talking about lol

Maybe the question shouldn't be which has the highest yield, rather it should be which has the highest yeild for a given volume of cannabis. I want to do small batches and I typically only have around 1 to 2 ounces of available starting material. So far for small amounts, it seems that iso...

It means Generally Recognized As Safe

I use sodium hypochlorite. Typically the concentration is around 8%.
