    Ardent Lift Decarb - do you still need to infuse?

    Just as an update, while I found the canola + plant material method worked nicely as a smoothie additive, there was a sort of "kief settlement" effect in spite of my attempts to mix it up every time I used it. As a result (whether or not this was partly down to too little infusion time) the...

    Ardent Lift Decarb - do you still need to infuse?

    Yeah, I decarbed in a mason jar (itself in a metal roaster, which complicates the temperature over and above using a sealed jar, but if the darned thing ever blows up on me I don't want to deal with a mess, much have anything damaged.) ~240F for an hour, on the assumption that the roasting...

    Ardent Lift Decarb - do you still need to infuse?

    I'm not positive how the labeling system in Canada is regulated; I do notice that the THC and CBD percentages are often odd tenths-of-a-percent numbers like "THC 14.8% CBD <0.1%" and those numbers often differ from what the product line is pitched as being in advance, so a local strain will be...

    Ardent Lift Decarb - do you still need to infuse?

    Well I had an encouraging start, tried 2.5ml of the plant-oil mixture, nominally a maximum of 15.41mg of THC, but that's assuming a 100% decarb and that the oil-plant mixture didn't skew anything upwards or downwards; got an acceptable mild high. (I feel like the amount I would have to smoke to...

    Ardent Lift Decarb - do you still need to infuse?

    I infused into 60ml (4 metric tablespoons) of oil at just under a boil for 45 minutes and will see how it goes. If I've underdone it I should be able to revisit the infusion, at the price of a "oily wet grass clippings" feast for the senses. Compared to the huge tincture thread on GC I...

    Ardent Lift Decarb - do you still need to infuse?

    48 hours more or less. I was optimistic about the decarb (and don't have much tolerance) so even though it was labeled 14.8% THC (<.1% CBD) I started with .08g (optimally, 11.44mg of THC) and tried incremental increases on different evenings. The results were so poor (and so hit and miss, in...

    Ardent Lift Decarb - do you still need to infuse?

    As a sort of self-update, I tried two .15g samples of the same decarbed flower, one just mixed into a smoothie and one mixed in after being infused in some oil (given the trivial amount I just left the flower in) and it was markedly more effective on the second run.

    Mason jar decarb what's going on in there??

    Yeah I get the impression there's a lot of great info in there those were just what seemed like the two most relevant lines in the index, which is obviously its own bit of voluntary work done for us. The videos PSam has up seem really good too. Yeah sadly my oven is garbage at 240F. Reading...

    Mason jar decarb what's going on in there??

    I'd not previously made much headway into that thread because it covers such a wide range of topics. The level of effort put is obviously super-impressive and welcome. Talking narrowly about decarb the post that seems most related (and describes the experimental design) is the Sealed Jar...

    Ardent Lift Decarb - do you still need to infuse?

    I take it there aren't a lot of people just straight up eating decarbed flower, then? I've got decarbing odor-free down to a reasonable science but I have less confidence (and kitchen hardware) to try to cook with weed odor-free. I've been finding my results eating decarbed cannabis (on...

    Mason jar decarb what's going on in there??

    Not sure if those links are working correctly for everybody, so, pressure cooker water temperatures by pressure level, and chart for how to fudge the numbers at high altitude.

    Mason jar decarb what's going on in there??

    I guess actually thinking about it you don't need the thermocouple for a pressure cooker anyway, if it happens to have a pressure gauge, the ability to add one aftermarket, or if it's setable to particular pressures: That is, it's worth noting, for altitudes near sea level. The stated...

    Mason jar decarb what's going on in there??

    I don't want to complain too much about Canadian first world problems because straight legalization is big progress, but the whole thing has been very path-of-least-resistance on the government's part. (Some basic guidelines are federal, most of the detail is province-by-province, "state law"...

    Mason jar decarb what's going on in there??

    I definitely think "people should know" and ideally if more people who have the equipment (wireless thermocouple etc) and the money or lab access could do the kind of tests blackie did in the Ardent thread and nail down whether that exact temperature curve (including warmup and cooldown and...

    Mason jar decarb what's going on in there??

    I can see from their perspective why they wouldn't want to shout this information from the mountaintops. Similarly there's a lot of good and interesting stuff on their blog about decarb but it tends to highlight the disadvantages of oven decarb, and just says vaguely that you can do a bit...

    Mason jar decarb what's going on in there??

    Hey major kudos to OP for putting the work and sharing those results. One datapoint that may be of interest: FC user blackie did a partial teardown of an Ardent decarb appliance and measured its running temperature with a thermocouple; he found it decarbed at 115°C (more exactly, the...

    Decarb with an Instant Pot pressure cooker

    As a follow-up to what I posted in December, I'm not sure "oven thermometer and oven" is as good a suggestion as I thought before. 1. Cheap analog oven thermometers are prone to inaccuracy, it turns out. The America's Test Kitchen roundup of them buys four of each kind just to see how many...

    Decarb with an Instant Pot pressure cooker

    Also: if anyone has ready access to a lab (or the money to just mail it off) I would think that a demonstrably ~99% decarb process with lab results, using only kitchen appliances and a thermometer, would make a great how-to article pitch to Leafly or a similar informational website. Given...

    Decarb with an Instant Pot pressure cooker

    Hey, so I had a few thoughts on the forgoing. Sorry to make my very first post a self-important wall of text. With regard to the ideal decarb temperature curve, I personally am inclined to take the 1990 chart with a grain of salt. It is from the legit chromatography journal seen at the top of...
