Checking on weight of oil from a OZ of buds

Could be as low as 10% of an OZ, or it could be as high as 30% of an OZ. Really depends on the strain, the better the bud, the better and more yeild you'll get

well i know the resins is what everyone is after the veggie matter means nothing it comes down to the weight of oil
we been having contest to see who can make the most oil ................so far no one has beaten 4 grams from one oz
buddy said he could get better stuff then what i make so i got a oz of it ........his only gave 2.5 grams mine did 3.7 grams
same amount of time/heat ..2 cans of butane and 1 shot glass of ISO (23mls) 30 mins of whipping on a hotplate at 150 degrees
i just want to know what other ppl out there are getting ...........see if i am avg or above/below the normal

its more genetics and nutrients that get the oil weight..
this is were we need to start the side by side experiments.. honestly.. organic living soil.. vs soil with organic nutes.. soil with chem nutes.. and do a bunch of lines.. in the same base soil.. and see whats hitting the biggest numbers oil wise.. also. best dates to pull down.... for best oil production.. or what additives to add late flower to increase oil production?

The quality of the starting material is likely inferior. Time for new genetics unless you're an early harvester...

couldn't agree more....
I have always seen lower numbers from organics next outdoor, but fade yall pulled a 28.1% on an outdoor, out standing what was the strain?

they are auto flowers they yellow up and die off with in 75 days of planting it ...........30 days or so in veggie then they flip into flowering 45 days .....the strains i found marked 90 days strains those are about 110/120 days
i guess i need to try some photos to get a reading on my skill lvl ..........i am assuming most u guys that replied are photo plants
as for the genetics i always go with one of the older breeders and the thc counts is 15% or higher with some cbds 1.4% 2.6% ....stick with autos because the turn around rate is much higher so in a year i can do more plants and experiments in one area tiny area vs needing a large one and 4/6 months of time
re yield: what others have said 're genetics. But what's of importance, at least to me, is the content of the yield.
I find yield in terms of the ratio of oil to flower weight to be less useful than a density number for individual components, i.e., thc, cbn, cbd, individual terpenes, etc..
In this format you now have a better handle from which to dial in your final product, assuming your intent is to use the oil in another application.

well the idea is to get a co2 extractor ............what i am doing now is mostly just BHO for a set number of ppl the rest i turn into vape mix for the e-pens
co2 will let me make candies and other things plus the strait oil and the vape stuff .....i just wanted to get a handle on all of it before i invested 1.7k into a the extractor

Where is this $1700 co2 extractor at? I wanna see.

always happy to share what i knowWhere is this $1700 co2 extractor at? I wanna see.
1700 bucks bench top auto run super critical co2 extraction
http://www.apekssupercritical.com/botanical-extraction-systems/1500-1l/
i found it after i got home from denver ........they said 1700 in june when i contacted them....as u see it is a investment the first little unit is 1700 then u can get 75% of what u paided for it back in a upgrade deal for a larger unit
i want my own shop or to be a manager/grower ....guy in the back running experiments on plants and ways of using the oils (candy making should be fun)
denver to me was a trade show and place i could see where my own skills are at compared to some of the top ranks in the field .........i think i am going to do it again i learned alot of stuff
still want to use some mad hatter soil see how it does

ya we just started getting our new setup to make candy and chocolate.. we have like 25 grams of edible oil.. and another 50 grams of reclaim that we ordered a vapor distillation kit to clean the reclaim and make it nice to eat....
people don't seem to understand.. that if im hitting 25% yields on say.. Bubba Kush.. example only not real.. but it I hit 25% on this CUT.. it doesn't mean.. that EVERYONE with the cut will hit 25%.. so yes.. its genetics.. but mainly its about health genetics environment.. and nutes...
im going to talk to my buddy who runs a hydro store.. and im going to see if he will sponsor.. me to do a SIDE BY SIDE.. on every nute brand he carries.. to see which actually works best.. but.. I doubt he will want to give me 1000s of $ in nutes.. and more in different mediums..

one thing I cannot stand.. is when people say.. why is oil so expensive.. and for me.. its like.. if I run a OZ of nugs.. that I can sell for 250-400 depending if I sell it as an oz. or in 8ths. right.. but if I make that into say 4-5 grams of oil.. and charge 60-70 a gram for nug run.. people bitch.. so.. instead.. now I been running a room . DEDICATED for OIL.. now im looking for a strain that hits highhh numbers.. so .. im running 15 strains under 1 light.. and im going to run an Oz of each.. best yielding.. best tasting and potent stays..
but some don't understand.. sometimes the best yielding strains.. don't have the best tastes or smells.. and shit.. so you gotta actually look for an OIL producing strain...
im popping a few crosses I made with cali hash plant.. 5 years ago . to see if any of those are good for oil.

If your material is tested at 15% thc and you got 15% extractung you did well. You can only extract the thc thsts there

Then after thc/cbd/cbn/cbg percentage/weight you have to think that the waxes/terpines/ect. percentage/weight, that you didnt extract, may have medicinal properties of there own. the waxes/ terpines/ ect. may affect the type of high from the plant, that you cant experience when you only extract the thc/cbn/cbd/cbg, and discard the plant matter/waxes/terpines/ ect that get caught in the filters. What im trying to explain is the extracted high may be different than the high from the plant the extract came from because there may be medicinal/ effects that weren't extracted because there considered waste. Just wondering.

That could also be a non-laboratory way of finding out the thc/cbd/cbn/cbg % of your product

Looking at that unit, I bet it's 17,000 not 1700. If it's only 1700 I'd buy 3.
