Duuude What did I do?

Light naptha is pentane and hexane both are highly non-polar and easily evaporate but do have carcinogenic compounds. Use n-heptane as hexane is being phased out in pharmaceutical manufacturing. It is liquid at room temp. A little harder to evaporate but shouldn't be a problem. Isopropyl...

Hmm could I salt it out? Here is a wiki article on IPA "It is insoluble in salt solutions. Unlike ethanol or methanol, isopropyl alcohol can be separated from aqueous solutions by adding a salt such as sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, or any of several other inorganic salts, since the alcohol...

Yup its rubbing alcohol. Why is it different from ethanol here? Why am I fucked? Oh jeez... That's what I feared. I'm hoping that it will break the emulsion and separate under boiling temp, ~180-190°F but if it doesn't work I'll just boil it away I guess. Its not enough for me to put that much...

You know something doesn't make sense to me with concentrates. The terps are located inside the trichome, are non-polar, and heavier than butane, so why are they being lost in the process? It seems that the solvent based extraction process can never concentrate the terpenes like the way it can...

I'm a moron please help! I was attempting to clean my extract by redissolving it in alcohol and running it through a syringe filter, then when I heated up the alcohol in a hot water bath the shot glass I had the redissolved extract and alcohol into broke. Now I have a cup filled with an alcohol...

Hmm. I had a tahoe og that smelled like skunk and rubber, so I know bad smells are in the mix but I have never smelled a rotten meat smell. Pretty cool to know that there is that much variability. Good stuff unequal! Yeah with music its really all about learning (i play guitar). You will enjoy...

Okay that explains it. You were trying to remove your terpenes before vacuum purging then add them back in. Are you stuck with a hydrosol solution and now you don't know what to do with it? How did you originally plan on separating the terps from the water?

I am much more concerned about the residual pesticides, molds, and other pathogens than the small quantity of butane left in. Butane is one of the safest and most non-polar chemicals known to exist. I filter my BHO with syringe filters to guarantee a clean extract. Dry ice sift and kief is...

This is true, although I would speculate that it probably has more to do with the fact that your body is now tired, and you will feel the sedative effects of cannabis more. You will notice an increse in sedation long before an increase in psycho-activity. Bongs filter through water so they tend...

I don't think that a rotten meat smell is within the range of possible cannabis smells. At least the scents made by the plant through terpene production. Skunk is unique in that people who smoke love the skunk smell of good weed, but people who don't smoke usually don't really like it much. It...

used to get DP back in the day. It was literally the best smelling weed I had ever had.

Yeah your terp slime. Does it smell like herb at all? I read concentrated terpenes from cannabis smell like pinesol or lysol or something. For some reason it doesn't like herb. I could be mistaken though, so I wanted to get your opinion and make sure I'm not just getting garbage info or...

Saybian did the condensed terpenes smell identical to the original scent? I thought I read somewhere that they smell differently.
