We do all of our extraction in the mountains in an open air environment. No missing limbs yet, so I'm assuming we're doing well?
I wasn't inferring you were using extracts to use otherwise tainted marijuana. I would imagine you're growers are aware of the consequences of dirty grows.

If you are confident of the regularity of quality, you might consider testing it, that's why I asked about testing. I don't care about mold/pests from better MMC's, as I trust that they wouldn't sell me tainted meds. I've heard that 'pure' extracts can be from 65%-90%, but I don't know of any way to see results posted or anything. Kindreviews posts test results, but I can't see any extract tests anywhere.

Testing meds and related things would be a good thread. Hell, I just grew my first plant and I plan on testing it. It seems like MMC's are really the only ones with experience with testing, and that's still a new industry. I wish I knew more about the whole process.

Would you care to comment about your yield? Grams vs ounces of product? Have you thought about tumbling your popcorn buds and adding that kief to the flowers going into the tube?

Outside where no one is around sounds like a good idea. I've seen nightmare stories of static sparks to kids in breck blowing their house up from a butane explosion [citation needed].
