Its not unusual to see this kind of color with bho. You probably grinded up the material to a powder before running. Its possible to remove discoloration, but you don't really have that much, so it would probably be a better use of time to just make some edibles with it.
Oxygen is an oxidizer which means is rips electrons from other molecules and causes chemical reactions. That's a very bad thing. You will degrade your cannabinoids and will create by--products.
The relative humidity in the freezer is close to zero. You're not going to pick up any water in the freezer but when you bring it out to evaporate off the alcohol it will pick up water from the air. It's not really a big deal at all. You can just pour off the white emulsion that forms with the...
Use n-Pentane! Its just like butane but has another methyl group which makes it boil at a higher temperature.
I use a large 5L flask and a gallon of n-pentane. Let it soak and then recover your solvent with a standard distillation kit (they're cheap and very useful).
The n-pentane is much...
I believe its because when you grind it you rupture the plant cells exposing chlorophyll. This makes it darker, and the increased surface area also probably picks up more waxes.
I believe most vertebrates have an endocannabinoid system whereas bugs do not. The plant produces THC in response to bugs not herbivores, although I would imagine most would be deterred. Another clue to this is that there is more THC produced on the trichomes which grow on the veins of leaves...
At this point I am stupid when it comes to genetics. That much I'll admit, but probably most ppl in this thread know a lot less than me. Wake up and realize that you don't know shit and maybe you'll start to learn something.
Exactly! Besides the obvious mutations what about epigenetics?
That is most likely the monoterpenes being vaporized first. After the first couple of hits it usually becomes very smooth.
Personally I believe that if it vaporizes then it is decarbed. THC-A bonds together so in order to vaporize it must break those bonds and the acetate is part of that. Don't...
Tissue culture is just micro-cloning. It's more time consuming and expensive than regular cloning, but you can produce much more with less stock and you can remove disease and viruses. It really depends on which ones though because some are easy and others require more equipment, knowledge, and...
I think your friend is trying to say that there is too much variability in the genetics of cannabis. The strains get crossed so often that the phenotypes of a certain strain that made it popular might be rarely found in the offspring.
Apple trees are the same. If you want a red delicious apple...
There is no black and white polar and non-polar, all of the terpenes would have some degree of solubility in water, but for the most part they are considered non-polar. Could you list some of the polar terpenes if you disagree?
The terpenes are nonpolar. They dissolve into the cannabinoids and give it the characteristic strain smell, but also make it sticky, sappy, runny, etc. Basically, shatter= no terps
The concentrates market started to favor shatter because its stable and easy to handle. Terpenes were given up in...
