Chasing CBDa and CBD for effective tincture

[Vaporizando192]

Hi Cannabisseurs,
am looking to understand more about CBDa and CBD.


i bought a CBD tincture and in the label was written CBDa+CBD and this gave to me new questions.


Now i wanna try to do same kind of Tincture by myself and reach that effectiveness


but i do not know HOW to do it



Here where i am now:
- i made QWET and filtered with 25 microns sieve
- [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]cold (and slow) evaporation of ethanol (sit in pyrex with the help of a Fan)[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I did not DECARB yet, i wanna do it within MCT oil[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]MY MAIN QUESTION IS :[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]HOW TO HAVE CBDa AND CBD ?[/FONT]

Just grow any CBD-only strain. If you make an extraction you'll get what you want. Depending on the thermal treatment you can change the proportions between CBDa and CBD.

i grow only CBD-strain.


I did it already the extraction, but without heat. (slow and cold evaporation of ethanol)


Can you tell me more about the thermal treatment required?

There is a lot of info here. Read about descarboxylation. But in any case, CBD will do. I don't know any reason to use CBDa instead.

Before to write this new post i read around on ICMAG posts regarding the Acid part of cannabinoids, but i did not find any answer to my need. If u know where can you link me the right post please?


I read quite a lot about decarb and i did it already several times but i never wonder about CBDa (!)


CBDa (with CBD) makes the tincture more efficient even if i do not why.


my new goal is : if i Decarb do i have CBDa too ?? or only CBD ?


looking for answers

In the plant the cannabinoids are stored as acid. They convert to the non acid form with heat. The more you heat the more CBD in the mix, and less CBDa

Anyone have infos about it ???

 

[Carraxe]

Yes it means that. Fully decarb=no acid form

CBD-A + CBD is a nice way of saying it is a combination of both and varies (not controlled). It also suggests that they are using a concentrate, vis a vis an isolate.

As has been noted, it comes from the plant in its acidic form, and with time and or heat, loses the COOH link. We've made topicals with both, either of which will work, but currently are using CBD isolate.

If you want to decarboxylate the CBD concentrate, you can monitor your progress simply observing the CO2 bubble production.
