well lets see, I've made another batch, this time paying attention to the smell, while the bud is in the oven , 'activating it's thc' or w/e, and then trying to as quickly as I can transfer it to the 151 on the stove already being at 175-80 degrees tho so I took it out of the pan and then put the bud in then put it back.. thing rose again to 175-80 all fast and I took it out like 2-3 times. then it lowered to 170 or lower and Im keeping it there for 20 minutes.

I noticed a smell that was gone in my last batch when I was making it , the alcohol didn't tingle my nose anymore when I came up to smell it. I thought maybe by going too high in temperature, I might've lost that smell which may be whats needed for the alcohol to activate the thc..

I'll let ya'll know how it goes..
