Would explain why when unpacking the tubes felt like digging in mud instead of neat frozen cubes popping out.

So like a food chest with dry ice and the tubes inside? So dry ice is like -109 F and a freezer is 0 F. Are you finding any benefits with the lower temps??

Any comments as to how long you all freeze for?

Meet: Chuck Norris OG (IDH) Chuck Norris with OG Kush High: 9.1~One hit gives you a tingly head as a numbing wave works its way to your toes. Lasts 4+ hours. Taste: 9~ A kind of spicy, piney, fuel'y flavor that invites itself in before you open the jar. Cough: 5~ Not so much of a cough more...

Meet: Sour Diesel (SDH) 91 Chemdawg with super skunk/northern lights High: 8~ Comes on quick but uplifting and motivating. Long lasting, powerful but light on the head and motor functions. Taste: 9~ An oh so sweet pungent sour taste with "ammonia" undertones. Cough: 7~ Starts with a head...

Well that's still important enough to discontinue for me. It's unfortunate I already sealed my next run but will have enough to run again and compare the differences. Is 48 hours the uniform or is that overshooting it?

So to dumb it down for me ;) Vacuum sealing the tubes is boiling out low point terps? Did I miss another adverse effect in there?

Would you mind elaborating on the vacuum sealing? My understanding is that the vacuum is removing air and excess moisture allowing the trichome heads to freeze cleanly and not be frosted over. (freezer burn) Am I on the wrong thought process here?

Hello RIU, I wanted to hear what your thoughts were on the freezing of tubes before extracting. I am used to vacuum sealing the tubes in bags and freezing them for 48 hours. Then extracting with cold butane. I'm curious to hear what you do and why it works for you.

So last I heard the farmers market was put on hiatus until September due to the raid. But I hear it is back on this weekend "officially"? And word?

..... I'm not even sure why you bring that up.... I have no reason to believe the wax I was given was decarbed. Heated for purging maybe but no where near decarbing.

Junk like plant matter? Or? I was told it's butane but not sure the brand. Apparently three separate people blasted it with a similar consistency. I was going to be the fourth but gave it back not wanting to waste more of it. There is definitely an unknown variable at play here.

Topping is the method of cutting or pinching off the tallest new growth area to cause the plant to grow more branches to compensate. You can do this as many times as you please and end up with a bush. The more branches you have the more flowers the plant can grow. And here's my favorite guide...

The plant flowers in cycles, you notice them by the swell then stop of growth then swell and stop of growth.. etc.. This happens until you are fully ripe. At the end of each one of those cycles, most strains have some hairs turn red; it' not a big deal. You have healthy plants, I would be...

What he said... ^ Carbon filter and a fan and you got 99 problems but odor an't one.

It needs to be elaborated that the flowering happens in cycles and the hairs turn brown at the end of each of those cycles. Not that you are nearing time to crop, increasing light is always good as long as you keep the temp down. A rule of thumb is a plant needs twice as much light when it...

Well that light put's out a 4x4 pattern so you would be wasting your money on a 3x3. Its "equivalent" to a 1k hps so any of the aforementioned methods are great. We do need to know your media preference to elaborate further. I would say 8-12 five or ten gallon pots with each plant topped many...

ISO boils around 170F but 99% will fully evaporate without heat or conventional purging and leave's the THC and it's friends in your glass. Your "purging" to speed up the process and/or get the 5% water out. Edit: I use the inch above the flower line rule. Works well, second wash only yields a...

@VP Well both batches were trim runs, I asked for some nugs to check them out. Both have curb appeal but when smoked felt harsh and "mid-grade". So the shit doesn't fall far from the shit tree, lol. @Murder I might suggest that to him, I don't know why I never mentioned it. There is a huge bag...

I like the thought process there. It makes sense, for the same reason fresh budder gives you the wow effect. I have never had any form of concentrate saved for a long time. So I haven't experienced with storage and degradation after extraction. It is my belief is that wax is less harsh...
