Ever smoked real frosty buds that don't get you high? Same concept, but backwards.


Not since the 70's. Lots of Hemp was going around. You can't tell hemp for drug types by looks.


My son came by to grab some fossilized seabird guano, and checked out and smelled all the plants. He was impressed with my sour Dubb. Its blowing out more trics then his is. The bucksaw are good interesting terps, but still faint. The real surprise was a plant from a cross I did last winter, that wasn't expected to do much. Its Sour Dubble x Maple Leaf Indica. My son kept going back for another smell, even after he walked away. He said get some cuttings off it. I think I have a lot more of those seeds.
He described the terps as, Sour Dubble backbone, with very fruity overtones. He said its also very spicy. Interesting looking plant with a different structure, and marble puffball buds all over it

Sour Dubb passes her terpenes in most crosses shes used in.


Has always had me scratching my head. My Tresdawg is not a frosty strain but always tests 26-30%.
My RHS is the frostiest strain I run and the highest it has tested was 22% but usually is more like 17-20.

The good thing is I have extractors telling me % is % when it comes to extracts. In other words a 30% strain should yield 30% in concentrate so looks like a Tresdawg run will be coming up in the new room.


THC potency doesn't equate to yield as far as I know. Potency degrades over time. If tested right after harvest you will get the best results. 3 months later it will be lower, 3 months after that it will be lower again. This is why testing for potency is useless IMO. By the time the end users get the product it will be lower than what it tested at.

Hammer what I was getting at was a 10% strain should yield roughly 10% concentrate (bho) by weight and a 30% strain should yield 30% by weight. At least that is how it was explained to me by a dude who did some work for me.

the key word there is should...that's where the skill and knowledge of the blaster comes into play as well as the quality and efficiency of their system...

That's about right. There's more in there then THC.
We get about 20 % from glue.

Definitely. Sent a bunch of my last crop out to three different extractors to compare results.
And let them all know that as well to hopefully thwart any shenanigans. If one comes in 5% power than the other two I’ll have a good idea I’ve been ripped off.
Seems to be that will be what the new barn will be going for, wpff. Saves me $200 a lb on the trimming and makes it non-perishable for the most part.

Let us know how that goes. I don't see many getting 30%. Most get 15-20% yields. Your doing well at 25%. Trichome density has a big impact on yields. None of this has anything to do with potency.

https://www.newcannabisventures.com/how-to-measure-cannabis-extraction-efficiency/

There are many “numbers” that are thrown around with respect to extraction. We most often hear the question, “What are your yields?”
“Yield” is a term that has commonly been applied to the amount of mass extracted from the feedstock, compared to the mass of feedstock used.
For example, a 100% yield would imply that the mass of the extract product equaled the mass of the initial feedstock.
Obviously this cannot occur but a more realistic scenario is obtaining 90 grams of extract from 1 lb (454 g) of feedstock.
This would equate to a “yield” of approximately 20% (90 g divided by 454 g = 19.8%)
. I dont know if this is trim of flower.
This percentage, or the commonly referred to “yield,” is a practically meaningless number.
Here’s why: Products made using material that has been extracted are measured and often sold based upon the amount of THC content.
The “yield” does not measure THC content in any way. Thus, the potency, the amount of THC, is the most critical number to be concerned about.
