Decarbing first should make them stronger. I went almost forty years without decarbing and found it really makes a difference.

I decarb my oil at 245° for 25 minutes,or until it stops bubbling (out-gassing). My baked goods never reach 200° while baking.

Cannakis: you say : "I try to leave Just a tiny bit of solvent to help collect it all. Then on wax paper in gas oven at like 200 monitoring and opening every few minutes until it bubbles up like crazy and falls down." I hope you mean parchment paper not wax paper. If you are using wax paper...

I always decarb my coco oil, ~25 minutes at 245°F. You can watch it stop bubbling when the decarb is done.

If you want the CBD to get to receptors in the brain it should be decarbed.

It is a matter of time. Racerboy's comment go slow and low is good advice. One can decarb faster at higher temps, but the THC that is already decarbed breaks down faster. 240-250° for 25-30 minutes minimizes the breakdown of THC. You can tell when the decarb is finished by stirring the solution...

Decarb your oil by heating to 240-250° for 25 minutes. By then the bubbles of CO2 should have stopped being produced, a quick stir will bring out any gas that is being produced. At this point the oil is ready to eat.

I heat mine on the stove top to 240- 250° for about 25 minutes, when it stops having bubbles when it is stirred, it is done. I do this after I separate the material, water and oil.

I agree with Quiso King, it looks normal. The powdery stuff I would expect if I let it dry for an extra 24 hours. I spent many batches figuring out how to get it to the shatter point. One is time, the second is having no more than 3-4 grams of wax in the ISO per glass pan. If there is more, the...

I used to make decent brownies with fan leaves ground and used as flour. About 4oz ground leaves per cup of flour replacement in the recipe. They would have been better had I decarbed the leaves first, 250° for 25 minutes, but were acceptable w/o decarbing. Since I have discovered making canna...

I'm not being critical, and I'm sure your products are great. I just look at it from the perspective of 'what if I'm only getting 75% decarboxillation?'. That means if I can get closer to 100%, then I get 33% more potency. That's all, I just want the biggest bang for the buck.

Yes, from what I've read CBD is produced in an acid form and needs decarbing to get through the brain-blood barrier. I have been making caps with decarbed CBD, but with an equal weight of non-decarbed THC. This allows the THC to go to receptors in the body but not the brain. Of course some THC...

If SF did their research on specific temps and you're not using that temperature, what do you base your decarbing on? I measure the temperature of my oil bath which has 50X the mass of my decarbing oil and container, so it's damn close to the actual material temperature, and I have been using...

I like the 252° temperature because the degradation is so much slower afterwards. You didn't answer my question about how you get to temperature, but you do refer to your oven..."remember, the temp of the decarbd product will NOT be the temp your oven is set at. nothing cooking ever reaches the...

@Demon Trich; How do you heat your decarb to 283°? I would be concerned about the time it takes to get to that temperature because the degradation is faster at that temperature and the longer it takes to get to temperature, the more decarbing happens along the way. It seems to be visibly active...

"Can anyone recommend a better way to get the cooking oil out of the herb, rather than squeezing the cheesecloth? Probably better when hot?" A potato ricer, which was recommended to me works great. When baking the baked products never get that hot. My brownies with a temperature probe never get...

I have been using the Seego V-hit B for 18 months. I have burned out a dozen or so of their coils. For the first year I spent a lot of time trying to clean the heads, but found the carbon build-up could not be removed, even with an ultra-sonic ISO bath. I have settled on trying to use it at the...

I do store it in an airtight container, a 4-5" wide by 2" deep pyrex container. It has quite a large surface area relative to depth of the extract, which may run 2-3/16th of an inch thick for an ounce or so of wax. It is my guess that a deeper container might retain more flavor, less surface...

The difference is no plant material, just resin.

Interesting paper Grow Goddess. I notice their 30 minute, 145°C decarb on dry material did not seem to decarb very well. Gives me more assurance that decarbing after extraction is more efficient for oral consumption. I do want to explore your ND methodology. I just made an ounce of QWISO...
