@skirk have you ever done the cold method? I've heard decarb 160 F for 4 hours, is that correct?
There's a friend who says that it could be interesting also to decarb at 160F with the green in the alcohol already but I think this would be a bit dangerous, wouldn't be? Apologies for keep asking...
So basically when you get the tincture for sublingual you suck it with the glass pipe from the bottom without mixing it first? So you just get the oil? That's the way to do it?
Ok. Is this a better way to preserve it rather then evaporate nearly 100% and then mix it with a bit of oil? Another aspect for long term conservation is evaporation. Alcohol evaporates. I almost never drink and my gin bottles have been sitting in the same place for a few years and they are...
@Nunyabiz but how can you get just the oil? When I evaporate the alcohol, there's a solid resin remaining on the plate and i have to make it fluid again adding a little bit of vegetable oil. If I keep some liquid at the end is going to be with alcool residues
@Nunyabiz do basically you take off the alcool and keep it a little bit or add oil to be like maple syrup? And at this dosage how many drops? I'm trying different alternative s now since I can't smoke or vape coz it's too much irritation for me. I'm just trying to get the right dosage. I've...
@Nunyabiz very interesting!
1. Is this the extractor you use? Source Turbo — ExtractCraft How does it work? I couldn't figure out.
2. Why do you use the cheese cloth if the extractor apparently is also doing the filtering?
3. Wouldn't simply evaporating the alcohol do the job? Why using an...
@skirk gotcha ya... Why don't you evaporate everything and then mix it with vegetable oil? This would avoid burning. The proportion floating around for a decent strength is 10 g herb/30 ml oil after full evaporation with an average of 6 drops/dosage (0.5 ml). I've heard it would be possible to...
WATER BOILING DECARB
Put your girded herb in a sealed glass jar and then bring it to boiling point, making sure it won't move around by fixing it with something on top. Let it boil for about 60 to 90 minutes. Then to do the tincture using alcohol as described in the other options above

Hello folks!
I'm a tincture passionate, that's mostly what I do. I've looked into different options and i have found very scattered information in the forum about how to make high quality grade tinctures. So I thought it was a good idea to open a thread specifically on the different types of...
Hello Folks
I've skimmed through the posts quickly (124 pages it's too much to handle at once ) but I didn't see much about changes in potency. Is there any change? We are also talking about very diluted amounts. Do we have LAB tests that prove that this method really kills molds, etc? If for...
@SmokingWings Thanks. Is extraction with alcool 95% not enough? 121 is huge,I'll give a look at it. But I was thinking about alcool extraction of the clean buds and just evaporate the batches I'll use within a week or two.
Hello folks I've found botrytis on some of the buds, out door guerrila. I could not monitor it properly.
I've cleaned the buds and now I have about 2/3 of the plant. Can I use it? Can I smoke it, vape it or do extracts like green dragon?
Can I also vape/smoke the sticky glue that remained in...
