This is about 30 minutes into a potentially 30 hour process.
The oven is set to 200f, and you put the Rosin (or any concentrate of your choice is my understanding) in a mason jar and let her rip until all of the CO2 bubbles stop forming. This turns the crystalline thc-a into the liquidy thc.
From there I’m going to do a few carts a few different ways, I have liquidizers to flavor and help thin if needed, but in theory I should be able to put the decarbed rosin liquid right into a cartridge and go.
It’s “Live” rosin because I froze my cannabis immediately after harvest. The “Fresh Frozen” cannabis was than put through a bubble wash machine to get Bubble Hash. From there the Bubble Hash was dried and cured and then pressed into rosin. And from Rosin to here now.
So is that why my shatter always stayed oily and wouldn't harden into the more glass like stuff after being heated up once or twice?
I would imagine so, light, air and heat naturally turn THC-A into THC over time, but freezing it stops the process. So you should always freeze concentrates to preserve them.
I didn’t, which is why my rosin is already so dark.
