Long time no see, ;)
Someone posted a crude tech on how to test for CBD. The cannabis community desperately needs a quick and simple way to check for CBD, as well as a way to compare CBD levels of one plant to another. I spent a few weeks tearing the tech down and refining it.
Please share this with as many cannabis community members as possible. The full write up with photos is here... https://steemit.com/cbd/@thecleanga...cbd-indicator-test-clear-and-accurate-results
Briefly, here is a rundown of the process:
- 1 dram vial with tight lid
- Add 500mg of pure sodium hydroxide
- Add 35mg of dry cannabis
- Half fill vial with 91% Isopropyl alcohol
- Cap tightly and shake gently for 2 minutes (Make sure everything is moving)
- Fill to shoulder with 50% Isopropyl alcohol
- Cap tightly and shake gently for 2 minutes
- Open and add 250mg of activated charcoal granules (pellets and powder are not as effective)
- Cap tightly and shake gently for 2 minutes
- Let sit for 2 minutes
Purple indicates CBD. The more purple, the higher the CBD content. Accurately weighing samples, cleaning your scissors between tests, precisely timing your test steps, all add up to a highly accurate test result. 3 tests per plant are recommended, waiting an additional 10 minutes gives full color indication. You can compare tests to each other and see which one is darkest.
You're Welcome! :D
