1. I'm making a tincture, using food grade alcohol extraction. I know that my herb material needs to decarboxolate before it is effectively converted to THC from THCA. My question is this- Can't that occur to the resin in the tincture when the excess alcohol is boiled out? When i go to reduce the amount of alcohol in the tincture, if I heat it past 140* F. for 5 minutes, isn't that enough to decarboxolate the THCA resin in the tincture into THC ??? Would save that time and eliminate decarboxolating the herb in the oven up front. Yes? No? Thanks.
2. Another question would be how to get rid of contimants in outdoor grown weed. Can I give the buds a good bath immediately upon cutting the branches and before letting them dry? It's a very small space we have to grow outdoors (no space indoors). There's a tree too close to these my grow spot but there's nothing I can do (except really wacking the tree, which we did today). But, I can't believe how much crap gets in those buds. I believe washing them after they dry would be a really bad idea. But, what about spraying them down right after clipping and just before hanging to dry? Thanks everyone.
