nice swiss cheese look, care to share the details on that slab? temp and vacuum and length of time in oven?View attachment 806565 View attachment 806568 View attachment 806567
These were 2017 outdoor, 15% average return on much better nugs than yours. Do you have a set up yet or is this all hypothetical?
those numbers are very generous best yeild ive ever gotten was 26%I don't know about the experienced or scientific part, but a good place to start guessing with nug is 20-25% and that last pic looks pretty frosty, so definitely leaning towards 25%
I winterized 1277 mg of the above pictured material in 15 ml of Everclear 190 proof hoping to dry it out to better solidify it. 2½ days at -6° F then freezer filtered it through a buchner with Whatman #1 paper. This caught 150 mg of lipids.
I let the ethanol evaporate off at 90° F then vacuumed at the same temperature. The only major change is it's even more gooey than it was prior. It used to fracture like glass at refrigerated temperature. Now it merely bends at the same temperature and you have to drop it very quickly to get loose from it.
So what's the trick to making something that's hard and stable at room temperature? I'm thinking maybe my source material wasn't dry enough and/or I boiled off the butane under extreme high humidity conditions. Any validity to these guesses? Another guess is I used too much butane in my closed column. I used two cans both times but the second washes produced produced very little colored fluid. Is one 5-10 minute wash with one can per oz enough when using a closed column?
I'll be running another 1 oz batch next week. (Frozen column and material/cooled butane) The clipped up source material has been drying (very slowly) for days at 45% humidity. There's nothing I can do about the outdoor humidity for the initial butane purge but I wonder if there's some sort of practical upper limit for a successful shatter run. I can't visualize the humidity dropping much below 80% any time soon.
Thanks for any advice offered.
