My tent got hit hard by a heatwave and I had to mad dash scramble and process three plants with 10lbs of dry ice. This is the result (via bubble bags - a 73 micron and a 220 micron run).
Any suggestions for non-lung route consumption? Tincture, edible?
One way you can go about it is to decarb at 100 Celsius for different lengths of time.
I have 5 jars of bud decarbed for 1 hr 11 mins, 1 hr 44 mins, 2 hrs 10 mins, 2 hrs 22 and 3 hrs.
I eat a third of a teaspoon of two types every day for breakfast.
Whatever feels right that day.
But since it’s kief, might wanna eat smaller doses if you want to be functional.
It is my understanding that, left alone in a sealed jar, with enough time, it will decarb on its own. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong…
“you can let it sit for 2-3 months and it will naturally decarb without losing the terpenes from a heated decarb”
Decarb Question. Is it possible, to Put Keif/Bud in a canning jar, With some form of oil like Olive Oil, and Decab and Infuse at the same time In a pressure cooker? Typically the liquid in the jars in a pressure cooker hit about 250f under 15lbs of pressure which will sterlize anything in the jar presevering it. I was just thinking it might be nice to decarb and infuse in one step! Say pressure cook it for 2 hours at 15 psi? Think it would work?
Decarboxylation converts ?9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) and cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) to their neutral, or active, forms: THC and CBD. This chemical reaction occurs naturally over time, but can be accelerated with high temperatures, light and oxygen .
In principle a pressure cooker would work but in practice… I think there would be some issues especially in the cooldown phase. You don’t want to overshoot the decarb curve as that leads to degrading the THC to CBN.
If you are planning ‘post processing’ ie baking edibles, ideally you should factor that in to the decarb process as well.
