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

I don't know, Joker. Alcohol doesn't dissolve many things, like sugar, and if that's the case then it seems that it would be possible to evaporate off the alcohol, leaving the cannabinoids bonded to the MCT powder. Then that would be reconstituted or just added to something dry. Not knowing anything about it makes it hard to say how it would work but infusing sugar shows a powder can be infused.

It's interesting. New things are coming up all the time and if they can be used for cannabis infusion, we'll find a way to do it.

 

She's looking pretty nice there, Dave. It's common for the leaves to start dying off in the last few weeks of flowering as the plant starts prioritizing and finalizing bud formations. I used CFL bulbs when I did my closet grows and I had no complaints and good results.

 

It reminds me a lot of powdered buttermilk or powdered milk or other protein powders. It doesn't say from where the MCT's are derived, whether from palm oils like the liquid with which most of us are acquainted but it should be noted by folks with dairy issues that the Sodium Caseinate is derived from dairy products. Other than that, the only thing that does concern me about it would be the lecithin, the corn fiber and the flow agent. I know that lecithin granules will soak up all the alcohol but not sure how it would be when included with this. The only way to tell is to try. Nothing ventured, nothing gained" is one of my primary principles of life.

That's pretty much an adaptation of the process I use but the dry ice allows for quicker processing. That made a beautiful product. That's due to the KleenXtract. The GD I made from the stuff was the best that I've ever made for both potency and beauty. No green, just a beautiful amber. I started trying to get some more in the fall and couldn't find it anywhere anymore and pretty much completely off the web.

When I was searching online I did run across another 200 proof ethanol that was being used for extractions but it was only sold locally and I can't remember what state that was right now. The problem with that one is that I could not find anything in the specs that said "food grade" and for me that's important. That may not be as important in concentrate because you can purge the drying agent but wouldn't be able to do that with GD.

If you find something I would be interested.

 

I've made some cards that I plan to take to the local dispensaries and leave for distribution with the other brochure and marketing displays. It's not a business card really but is a promotional tool, I suppose, for what that's worth. I've inserted the card in my signature so if you've got a moment, check it out.

 

Yeah, finished making it yesterday but still have to edit it.

 

You remember wrong, Stiggy. I've done nothing with high CBD except for that one Harlequin tincture I made and it turned out not to be high CBD after all. As Jojo mentioned, you'd need a high CBD strain/hemp for that kind of product. We did temp/time comparisons for the decarb analysis but that was it pretty much for actual hands on experience.

Sorry.

 

You can make a high CBD RSO but you would still need a high CBD strain. You can make an inactive product that has THCA instead of THC. It retains the CBDA/CBD which would have more of a footprint in the overall profile but the high THCA could cause anxiety and panic attacks in some people.

I'm hoping that mainah and the others here that are growing high CBD plants will fill in the holes in our knowledge base on this subject. I'm more than willing to be the student instead of the teacher for this one.
