I use plates designed for acidic cannabinoids, rather than decarbing the material prior to extraction, or worse yet on the plate.
Mobile phase is methanol and water with 1% glacial acetic.
Spot identification by UV, forget fast-blue or vanillin. It's a more expensive initial investment by a few hundred bux, but worth the hassles it saves in the long run.
I'll see if I can find and post some pics.
