It is no doubt more pure, but the extraction process lost most of the terpenes, and without them the potency has diminished. There's probably not much of a difference between the two.

I will be using both Bt and spinosad all the way until halfway through budding. I also use seranade and prune heavily to ensure good airflow. I will not have any moldy buds, but you will have Bt on your buds. It might be perfectly fine to ingest it, but inhaling it is a different story. If they...

Well maybe I won't do anything but will wait and pray for birds to tear apart my buds so they can eat the caterpillars. There are no effective natural predators for them or it wouldn't be a problem dipshit. It's gardening fabric and is made with the intention to keep out bugs and insects. A...

My plan is to use this type of fabric on the plants this year to prevent the caterpillars. Does anyone have experience with it?

Gold nano particles of differing sizes in water. The point I'm trying to make is that the size of the particle changes the color.

Wasn't there a thread just created on icmag like Sunday where someone wanted to know where your original thread went? I can't seem to even find that thread and if that thread is also deleted then there is def. something fishy going on. I probably didn't look in the right spot though so you...

When the particles in suspension become very small the way that they interact with the light changes, and the color that we would assign to it on the macroscopic scale can be different from the color it would be when very small. Below in the picture are gold nano particles of differing sizes in...

Usually by hand, but that's not going to work for larger amounts so I'm trying to find the most efficient and effective way to do it. I have used the vacuum before and it worked quite well. It removed all the contaminants that were smaller than the screen holes, but I didn't care about saving...

the 220 is fine but you want to clean out the stuff that is smaller than the heads because they will saturate quickly and ruin it. Stuff that small will cling to the bags, other trichomes, and whatever else because they are so light. A screen with holes smaller than most of the heads (<80u) can...

Yeah the bubblebag ice hash style seems like a bastard child of the original method your friends taught you. The blind are leading the blind. Learning is what I'm really all about. I see so much potential to change things in this scene for the better but it always starts with basic questions...

The thing that is special about water based extractions is that particles that are much smaller than the trichomes will stay suspended in the water for a very long time which allows you to clean out these contaminates easily. Particle that are larger than the trichomes are simply filtered out...

I guess you could but it wont last for very long because terpenes have significant vapor pressure and are quite volatile. The waxy cuticle on the trichome actually encapsulates the terpenes and solvent extractions destroy the cuticle and release the terpenes which are carried away with the...

Thank you! I completely agree. I don't even get why they are backing "their" methods like they'll die if their method isn't the best. Who cares? The way I think about it is that if you show me your method and it's better then I'll start using your method, and thank you for showing me. Instead...

I have never really thought about it at that level, but it makes perfect sense. Almost nothing will convert 100% without there being some kind of byproduct and indirect reactions occur even with the simplest molecules, so it stands that a molecule as structurally complex as THC would probably...

Well just my experience from ice water hash. Yes sir you got it. I'm guessing that if there is any change in density of the heads it probably would not stay intact, but who knows right? Hmm that is interesting. I'll have to try that some time.

I believe it is only the small amount contained in the vesicles. That's what I'm wondering. I'm skeptical but it would make sense that there would be some volatile gases trapped in the heads because they probably would not have the energy to escape through the cuticle as a liquid, so ice cold...

So you didn't introduce yourself, but started talking about the tests and assumed he would know who you were? TBH it shouldn't matter because if you both live close enough to visit the cup then you could just meet up again another time, and that way it doesn't have to be in front of a ton of people.

That's what I was thinking. Then I started thinking why it would be less dense because each molecule of THC, waxes (or other non-polar constituents) are generally heavier than each water molecule, so they must be more spread out to be less dense. With shatters and AA I think there is H-bonding...

That makes perfect sense for AA or a pressed resin, but what about trichomes themselves?They have a secretory cavity, so is that filled with a liquid? What's in there? What about the volatile chemicals how much escapes through the cuticle when they are a gas?

BHO sprayed onto water floats, so why is an absolute more dense? Just removal of the butane? If that's the case then purged BHO should sink right?
