Stinger96 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I have a question about decarboxylation. I have no experience with these processes. When cooking your cannabis at 225ºF will it not cause the trichs to vaporize? Or is this not hot enough. I'm nervous to do it, I feel that I will loose potency? This is most probably a stupid question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highchome Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) Hi @Stinger96, here is a graph that shows effect of heat on THC content. You need to heat the flower to convert from THCA to THC (etc), notice how the THC content peaks and then slowly declines. So follow the graph roughly to work out the time and temperature you need to get to the peak but not too far past it. Also are you doing alcohol extraction or make cannabutter/oil?

Stinger96 Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 Thnx Want to try canna caps. Grow weed easy has a few great processes but as I have no experience wondered about the cooking of the bud. Really thought that would vaporize the trichs.

Stinger96 Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 From your experience, will Sativa dominant or indica dominant oil be better? I'm a absolute novice when it comes to oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 well that question is subjective what end goal are you aiming for why are you making the oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger96 Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) Well I have PTSD, night terrors, some insomnia and back pain. I find that smoking helps but was told I'm bulshitting myself and should start using oils. From all I've read nobody really talks about what kind of cannabis is better. In my mind THC is THC and maybe all oil is basically the same but I do not think that's the case. Read allot about chatlotte's Web and it seam to be the perfect strain but I still have allot to learn before buggering up good genes. So for now I want to experiment with the bag seed I have and move toward the better genes once I have educated myself enough. I enjoy getting baked too. So a all in one is my end goal.

SkunkPharm Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 My 2c, ethanol extract is a full plant extract. I find that sativa keeps me awake but not my girlfriend. So you need to find what works for you. I will try it again when i have a good INDICA. Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

420sake Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Been making oil for a very long time now and Sativa is chief on my grow list. I get really big trees which is wonderful for my feco. I say start with bag seeds and refine every cycle. Yes, different folks get varying results, but generally they get healthy if adjusting some life functions inclusive. Been taking my dose using a Vapresso by preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
