Send the starting material to the lab. Send the finished material to the lab. Do some basic math on those results.

Problem solved

You can also do a bulk measurement without the lab though you won't know potency difference because I seriously doubt you can discern the difference between 50 and 70% thc through consumption. I suppose if it yielded 90% thc, you might be able to differentiate that from 50% starting product.

You almost certainly lose cannabiniods in the process because they do bind to carbon...same with terps...though I am unsure why you are concerned about losing the terps. I always had a problem with way too terpy extracts and gave up on self extracting during early med to rec sales due to nothing but ultra sappy extracts though golden.

I tried zeolite once. Not recommended. The ethanol produced a heat bearing reaction. Did clear up greens though when I put it through with solubilized extract..still heat produced. Presumed chemical reaction with new products coming out the output.

If you have light green extract, I know a non-filter process that eliminates green and makes it go just a touch of brown on the gold...had some plants that made brownish extracts without chlorophyll in there.

I can tell you for sure you can do better on your greens coming through the primary extract by improving your process. I get high yield etoh extracts with less green than in your picture....now, of course this is worthless because no one cares really. I can't get work in the industry despite being in Oregon with a good background. Seems owners are inept and looking to shape a culture rather then put money into the quality work or even give an "outsider" not connected to "social" a proper shot at greatness. Oh, I'm homeless now, in part because of my exposure to risk in the cannabis industry. Being the highest performer at numerous job sites has literally done nothing for me.
