So I would like to be sure that I am not damaging my material or oils by some of the techniques i use to prepare both trim/buds which I will soon start to freeze along with my butane pre extraction . I use the same techniques to try and dry out oils with low or no heat using a small room with a dehumidifier going and in certain areas where i try to make some winterized absolute shards/sheets using trays that hold some oil with non toxic dessicant pellets in close proximity to the oil ,as well as a fan blowing on it. But so far this has failed to produce touchable oil after days of extreme dryness and a short heat purge (less than 1 hr at 105F or less and a short vac at same or lower temps to vaporize the majority of my etoh) .However the material I winterized was old and not the best quality + it had old keif extracted with the buds/trim and i am wondering if this is more why my oil wont fully set up as absolute(possibly partially decarbed due to age). I am going to run some tests on much nicer material we extracted with no keif in the extract, using the same low temp , dry air desiccant purge, after a short vac purge at low temp as well (95F max) at 1-2 hrs (until most solvent bubbles seem gone). Hoping I get better results. Does anyone know if there is such a thing as too much dehumidification on extraction material?? I'm not as worried about it damaging the winterized oil since the temps are low and its just an ultra dry environment unless someone can give me a reason , other then longer purge times , not t do it this way.... I am trying to find that medium between weeks of air drying alone, and short vac/heat purge at low temp with a few days of air drying to get to an absolute... any tips would rock!!
