I have done a few batches of ethanol extractions, cleaned up with pentane.
The first couple were of odds and ends, but mostly sativa dominant strains. I say this, but I mean modern, worked indoors strains that exhibit the big stalked resin glands we all love. The oil has been quite thick. Lovely, clean and potent.
My last round I somewhat foolishly dedicated half of my flowering space to untested "Acapulco gold". Pretty stuff. Most definitely untainted sativa. I had 2 female plants, 1 quite fast, it finished around when my other, modern, plants finished. Quite a large yield too. Now the bad news, barely any oil at all. And the oils it did produce were downright runny. So runny that the "recipe" I used to make pen cartridges tend to gurgle and leak.
I suspect that it may be CBN heavy due to leaving her on the vine to let some seeds ripen and a bit of heavy handed ethanol evaporation.
Any of you more experienced extractors know WTF is responsible?
Thanks y'all.
