I've actually wondered this myself but then how do you explain that when you press weed, you get a yield of 10% of the weight of the flower you press and the rosin is around 75% thc?
After pressing 100 grams at 20% thc, you get roughly 10 grams of rosin which is 75% thc so you end up with 7.5 grams of thc and there is still some left in the flower.
My point wasn't that there was missing thc, it was that the 7.5g is more than 3g.Yeah as you mentioned there is some left in the flower, and that loss can account for some of the difference we are seeing.
That being said I agree that lab testing is bullshit, because they are testing sample nugs, not the actual nugs you are receiving. Their is no way to tell the thc of the nug you are receiving, without making the faulty assumption that the thc concentration is homogenous across the batch.

My method of dry ice kief /oil mix yields about 25% of I'm guessing 50% thc. But I'm sure I'm not getting it all. And I don't care about lab tests. But yeah, still more than 3%.My point wasn't that there was missing thc, it was that the 7.5g is more than 3g.
Hmm that's actually true. I'm unfamiliar with how thc potency is tested but what about distillate, it is tested at sometimes 99%+. According to what you're saying, would that mean it too is only 15% thc? Distillate doesn't contain terpenes so what would make up the other 85%?help
hello Aaron
so first. thank you for the civility.
question. how do you know the rosin is 75 % ? if the rosin is melted resin it should still be the same % . the only way 20% thc can change to 75% thc the concentration must increase by 3.75x .( 75/20) there is no extraction or separation going on as far as the rosin goes. the only thing you are doing is separating the rosin from 4h3 leaf matter. there is no purification of the actual resin such as an alcohol extraction. the math says that the rosin has to the same thc % as the trichomes it made from . I make 79% thc oil and it requires separating the resin from leaf by water extraction as well as screening between 150/50 micron. I get close t0 15 % resin back from weed .now this is still just 20% thc because the leaf matter was never part of 4hr equation. I took rhesin that was 20 % thc off a substance that has no thc . as far as math I increased the 3 % leaf /resin mix and increased the percentage from 3 % TO 20% by the removal of the leaf. now I out in in 95 % ethanol. then filter out solids and waxs. distill off alcohol and I am left with now 2.5 gram of 80% ish thc from 10 gram resin.
so the rosin could not be 75 % thc either . how do you do testing ..I am hoping it's not the Tcheck device.. that is my next page .they are a fraudulent device . they do not test thc. they are a VOC ( volatile organic compound meter. they test bio gas) the spectral reduction of a gas or vapour between the test led and the receiving sensor interprets disturbance and light reduction as a percentage of vapour . then the data base sends a description of what they say that strain is .it does not test anything. you send a reading and it sends back pre written responses based on other testing noting to do with the sample sent. like using a flash light to make a shadow and sending a pic of that shadow to a company that then tells you how much weed you got based on other pictures of shadows in their data base
ok so show the math . you get more than 75% of your kief back as oil ?My method of dry ice kief /oil mix yields about 25% of I'm guessing 50% thc. But I'm sure I'm not getting it all. And I don't care about lab tests. But yeah, still more than 3%.
I do not doubt distillate is 95% . it does not speak to the percentage of the original product only to th4 the percentage it was extracted to. .. you can get 95% alcohol form a variety of sources such as beer 5% ( Canada) wine 12% you just need more beer than wine but the end result is the same.Hmm that's actually true. I'm unfamiliar with how thc potency is tested but what about distillate, it is tested at sometimes 99%+. According to what you're saying, would that mean it too is only 15% thc? Distillate doesn't contain terpenes so what would make up the other 85%?
But whats your point? Nobody I know cares about lab tests. I never lab test anything. WTF should I?but ...if there is skepticism then show the math. I do get mine tested as required by health canada as required under the licensing act . not just for thc but pesticides.
I know most dont agree ..so show me the math .
100 gram weed
how much potential trichome?
100 gram weed at 20 % thc =20 gram thc .
ok 85 gram leaf with 15 gram resin at 100% thc ? not possible
80 gram leaf with 20 gram resin that is 100% thc ? not likely.
75 gram leaf with 25 gram resin at 80% thc ? maybe but unlikely.
50 gram leaf with 50 gram resin at 40% thc ? nope
now let's look at resin itself..
how much oil do you get back from 10 gram trichomes? 50 % ? no
usually 30? and not pure thc and the leftover resin is devoid of thc
just show the math
So you'd only obtain a max yield of 2-3g of distillate from 100g of flower?I do not doubt distillate is 95% . it does not speak to the percentage of the original product only to th4 the percentage it was extracted to. .. you can get 95% alcohol form a variety of sources such as beer 5% ( Canada) wine 12% you just need more beer than wine but the end result is the same.
I make distilling systems on the side .we dona lot of hand sanitizer. I am just doing a unit for a legal grow and they ( who don't even. smoke ) were very upset when I told 4hem ...and showed them that their 20% product did not yield the 20 g per 100g but 2.6 gram. I built a small vacuum still . it is small version of comm3xsil they would need to do the ( way 5oo much to mention on this site ) amount they have
yes .So you'd only obtain a max yield of 2-3g of distillate from 100g of flower?
agsin I really thank you for your civility. even if I didn't convince you I am happy .on gra$$city I got 304 hate mail , 3 death threats and a guys address in fort john BC to go fight him ....he actually sent me his home address as I googled ityes .
As someone who personally knows someone that operarates a short path fractional distillation rig, i can attest to this being not true. He fractions returns of about 7% using tight trim or about 10% on average using flower. 2-3g distillate returns are what i would expect from leaf.So you'd only obtain a max yield of 2-3g of distillate from 100g of flower?
I also asked 4his question but about resin % on gra$$city but neve got one straight answer . I hope we fair better..Has anybody else made distillate and had a higher final yield than 3%?
What how?LOLOLOL SO ...I JUST GOT BANNED FROM THC TSLK TOO NOW .I did not even get one reply ..just posted the question and got banned for life no reprieve lol
dsmn this must be how copernicus felt lol
