points well taken.

as we all know.... if you freeze bud, the crystals fall off easier. this is why i chill it when producing green dragon.

the trichomes/crystals fall off quicker when cold then when at room temp.

and also.... correct me if im wrong, but isnt that the only way the thc is transfered into alcohol? i mean.... what else contains thc that is transferred into the alcohol, other then the trichomes?

as far as i know.... he trichomes, golden in color, are what contains the thc. its not like the alcohol sucks up liquid thc in the stems, although that might also be true.

look. im pretty sure i know what im talking about.

try this. take like a few grams of bud..... and put that in some alcohol. then take some other bud..... and put that in alcohol too.

then chill one, and dont chill the other. see which one comes out more potent.

for me...... the one that is most potent is the one that is chilled. i cant say i did an expierement like that...... but i have not chilled some, and chilled others. and the ones i chilled were moe potent then the ones i didnt.

remember. you want them to fall off. you want the trichomes to fall off.

what would facilitate that, other then cold? cold is better then room temp, to facilitate crystals falling off.

now.... i hae wondered....what would happen if you heated the alcohol, below evaporation point, but hot enough to get things going.

i dont know what would happen. i havent tried it.
