Yeah, sweat curing. It does also cause some fermentation, by being compressed together under the weight of the pile and excluding air. That's why it sometimes has an ammonia smell. That's a sign of fermentation. They mix the piles around so that all buds are in the middle at some point. Those are the ones that brown out first.
Whatever. Your lungs dude.
How many times over the years have you cured using this method?
That may explain it!
I dont buy smoke. Havent bought smoke in well over a decade.
As I said a few times, I like the color and the smell of heat cured. You can't get either of those the standard way so I don't have much reason to use it. The last batch actually came out smelling kind of chocolatey.
It's pure enough. There's actually a lot more crud in tap water. There's also a lot more in nutrient solutions and the resulting plant material. It's also low toxicity. Hardware store acetone is the same as any other. It's all made the same way. It's just in a can instead of a bottle.
Maybe in huge amounts. It wouldn't have generally recognized as safe status if it was dangerous. It's no more dangerous or toxic than alcohol. Gotta use some kind of solvent, and CO2 extraction is too costly and complicated, so acetone it is.
I think you should read section 11 of the MSDS again...then read it again to let it sink in...
Relax. I'm the only one exposed to amounts that could cause any of the negative effects. I don't plan on reproducing so there's no reason for concern. I think YOU should read THIS again, because the amount mentioned is more than you could ever find in my oil after I heat it to thicken it up.It takes a while to get all the water dried out of it with heat, and acetone is much more volatile than water, so there's essentially none whatsoever remaining. The THC and other compounds are far worse than the amount of acetone left in there. Terpenes are actually more toxic than acetone and there's WAY more of it. Don't you think 15% deadly terpenes is a little more reason for concern than maybe 0.001 ppm acetone?
Read my post again, I put more stuff in it, about terpenes.
It's an unbeatable combination. The brown oil makes perfect soft hash when mixed with sifted leached trim/shake too, also cured of course. Perfect hash smell, rather than BHO type painty smell. Actually, I doubt if you could even make a usable hash from BHO because it would get crumbly after a day or two when it turned to wax. Acetone hash stays pliable indefinitely. I got a 30% hash yield from trim last time. I had leached trim powder saved from before though. You can only get about 10% powder out of trim. You need about twice that to mix with the oil. I guess you'd have to buy leached trim or bud from a BHO maker. Offer then 5 cents a gram or something.
