Yields not turning out

28% tested!?!?!?! no chance man sorry

28% was not thc 28% wasnt even sugar on the nugs
Well I submitted it to the lab and got the results back so not sure what you're getting at.

It sounds like you are running a lot of material during your runs. Several hundred grams and only yielding a small percentage... I can't imaging you running 600+ grams of nugs and sugar trim. For the numbers you are listing I would conclude your material is not refined enough at all. You must be running pretty much everything, stems in all to get those results. Only lower nugs and tight sugar trim is good IMO. You have to get rid of the garbage. (either that, or your tube/filter/butane setup is severely flawed). What size tube, what kind of butane, how much butane are you running per oz?
I take the time to sort through stems, any large leaves, discolored leaves and any garbage. Tubes are 1.5" x 24" and 1 can per oz

You are the second person this week who have experienced very low yields and said about dewaxing? How are you dewaxing? Winterizing in ethanol? Just trying to see if your method and other posters are same.

sounds like you are using a worn out clones . nothing but a lot of leafs and the bud is inside the leafs some where . is this what your talking about ? if so its time to get fresh genetics . they play a major role in yield and quality. that or your lighting sucks. if out side your just growing some worn out plants. how I know I have been there done that .
 
So I have great technique but my yields have been just terrible.

I can only sum it up to starting material but I did a nug run and still got terrible yield, good nugs too.

First run was about 680 grams of sugar trim and only got around 30 grams return

Second run was 113 grams of buds and got around 5 grams

Third run was 590 grams of sugar trim and got about 20 grams

These are terrible yields and I cannot figure out why. What do you guys think just the starting material?

I am doing slow, low purges, vacuum purging and even dewaxing (which likely takes yield)
jbonez? is that u bro??

dewaxing is prolly not helping the yield

yea there was an article i read and i had watched a video about the break down of how these labs come up with the percentages and they arent very accurate

what this guy is saying is that it is impossible for 28 percent of your material to be THC....
so 28 grams of your stuff has just over 7 grams of THC not hash or CBDs or any of the other cannabinoids, just 7 grams of THC.....

I respect both of your opinion however I'm not completely sold. It's an old dude, smoking a joint, wearing a lit up cannabis shirt with 700 views talking about percentages, for me that requires more research. So I'm not saying your wrong or I'm right, that's just not a solid evidence, IMO.

Now I just looked into it while writing this and found this: http://www.marijuanagrowershq.com/is-cannabis-lab-testing-a-scam/

Seems like a good place to read and I agree with it. My main point was that it wasn't some shit cannabis, whatever the THC percentage was/is it varies for each bud however it was good starting material.

yea i did not agree with everything the guy with the glowing shirt said

his perspective on percentages of thc that are in the plant and the percentages that are reported is what i was pointing out. All of this is still very new and there is very little solid evidence right now, regarding testing levels and extractions. I did read your article and i would agree with it in areas, the nugs at the top of a plant are going to test differently then the nugs at the bottom of the plant. that is also something to take into consideration, what part of the plant they are sending off to be tested, a nug from the main cola or a couple of bullshit nugs from the bottom.

I get your point "shit was caked with trichs" sometimes i can be to literal, i am just one of those people that is skeptical reported levels on stuff because there are alot of different ways to test and alot of variables that go in to coming up with accurate numbers. There is an extract company in Denver i think, that puts out this stuff called MoonRock with and lil astronaut in the background and they say their shit is lab tested at 89% to 91% and it leaves more residue on your nail then any other wax i have ever dabbed.


either way something is up if your only getting that for your returns
