Another Tincture Thread - Try it, You'll like it

 
Unfortunately, the signature only allows one URL anymore and that includes the image. We used to be able to have 3 so I could put the image, link and 1 more if I wanted. It had allowed my 2 because of grandfathering but once I started to edit the material, it wouldn't allow me add the index link again. That's why it just says the index is available after the hiccup. I can't add a link but I will direct others to the first post for the link. 
 
Thanks for looking out.  

 

 
It's a computer term and no, GC will not increase it. One of the bad things from the new format when they changed. That's the way it goes in the big "City".  

 

Analysis Update
 
So, nobody wants to give it a shot, huh? Well, let me give you a hint. You want to find the percentage of THC to THCA on each test. Does anyone know how to calculate percentages? Let me help you with that for the first sample. The formula for that is as follows:
 
A/B = x/100 with A & B the known values
Invert and cross multiply  Bx = A * 100
In this sample "A" is the amount of known THC and "B" is the known amount of THCA = 1.95/18.6
Step 2 for this sample is 18.6x = 195
Percentage of THC to THCA in this sample is  x = 195÷18.6 = 10.48%
 
Maybe that will help. I'll check back later. Remember, we need to find the percentage of the second sample then calculate the total representative percentage of decarb that took place. Again, that answer is 14.6%.
 
Good luck.  

 

 
Close but no cigar. It's actually 25.08% and here's how to get that.
 
a/b=x/100 > 3.21/12.8=x/100 > 12.8x=321 > x=321÷12.8 = 25.078 
 
Now tell me the total representative percentage of activation, decarb, for 1 year based on these two samples.  

 

You are correct! Give than man a banana (kush). In fact, Stiggy, you're righter than I am. Last night I switched my subtraction and came up with the wrong one. It is not 15.4% but 14.6%. Very good.

I knew someone was going to mention that. A representative percentage is based on "representative samples" such as trees in a forest, snowflakes, fish sticks or buds in a harvest or in other words, not from the same exact item being used to provided those samples. That being the case, each sample is an individual in it's own right but is considered to be representative of the whole lot. It would be used to describe the early phases of the study and later, after enough "representative results", it turns into plain old "average percentage". 
 
We have only one source lot for data so we can't use an average yet so our analysis can only be based around that that source. There were 6 plants that gave 1.5 pounds of bud but where the individual buds came from is anyone's guess, Since the first bud had maximum total THC value of 18.3 in the written data and the second only had 14.4, it's pretty clear that they didn't come from the same bud. "Representative" just clears up the notion of an single source. You could also come to the same conclusion by comparing the total cannabinoid numbers of each sample. 
 
I don't know if that muddies it up more but that's life I guess. Just another thought, my tincture samples are not representative since they are from the very same sample at all stages. They won't become "representative" until I start adding them with other results for averages.  

 

Only if you feel you know it all.

Yep. They were clones taken from my original from the seed I was giving away for a while, Blue Jewel. I gave them to a friend with a tent and she did a great job. We kept an ounce in a quart jar with a Boveda 62% humidipak and it has rarely been opened. It has been in the jar since it dried. The next set of tests will explore various ways to speed up the process without heat.
