Did a recent "bud/live resin" BHO run in a state approved closed loop system and vac oven setup. I usually yield 12-15% from dry trim. My mentor's highest yield from wet frozen buds was 29% of wet weight. Outrageous.
Amazed by this I gave it a try. Picked buds and rough trimmed fans and froze overnight, transported to facility (thawed en route), froze again for several hours until my products time slot.
990g wet weight yielded only 19g finished product. 2%! Seemed to leave a thin residue all over the parchment and has a grainy, soft, wet texture, not so sticky to the touch. Dark in color with a chlorophyll flavor. Not my usual light amber color and cookie texture.
I hear the proper freeze time is around 45-60min. Perhaps the extensive freezing caused chlorophyll pick up and exploded the trichromes, affecting quality and quantity.
very sad day indeed.
any thoughts on proper technique?
