Sorry some of the pics are sideways, I didn't upload them that way... and yes they 'add terpenes' if you so desire to your pure THC-A crystals with that that there glass pipet thingee. They were even blowing out terpene holy water out their tent's mister system... gettin' them terpenes from somewhere/how..... ;-)

Such a slam down today hitting the crystals hard for the first time since I acquired this pure crystal 'stuff.' Full eyes shut at the mercy... where is it you guys want to go with other terpenes, THC alone delivers, I'm writing this without a desire to turn to my side and dab some oil, Tom Petty's singing out in the wide open.... Pandora rocks! Pounding! brother's and sisters, kudos to The Guild.

I'm fixing the previous post's sideways pics, seems to have been my bad, sorry.

So, in the pictures of my outing with my Health Stone sherlock and the crystals, the pic of the lid isn't legible, it reads, "EST. 2000 GUILD EXTRACTS where art meets science"

I have seen the lab test results, talk about how many 999's and zips, so I assume the extremely brief initial 'chemical smelling' impact is indeed just the THC saying good bye way too fast under the torch on the HS. The 'chemical smell' is instantaneous, and fully disappears, leaving you to experience the trip.

About 0.025g completely cleared in one hit was plenty for me.

Sounds misinformed.
I've made sugar candy that you couldn't tell from the finest cocaine freebase.
The premise of your "it looks like crack" statement assumes that all things clear and crystalline follow the trend of crack cocaine. When in reality, crack cocaine follows similar trends as other crystalline substances.

And now, for relevance's sake, back to THCa....

Nice post Old gold

I hadn't actually noticed how off white it is, contrasted against 'rock candy' (sugar crystals.) Never had any crack, wouldn't know... ;-)

My life revealed, laugh your ass off!!

Life was kind enough to provide me with this stuff, so I calibrated my soldering iron dab station, and checked out how this stuff behaves from 400F/204C to where I found it was sweet and stoney at 585F/307C, my new low end preset with the Hakko-FX888D.

A video at 400F/204C would be so much more a time sucker than just trusting me that the pictures showing a pool of oil just sitting there forever, really is just that, the oil right at about the lowest temp anyone would call a Bp at atmospheric. And the smell, almost like ammonia, better to get it over with at higher temps... in my nose's most humble opinion! But like I said in the previous paragraph, 585F/307C was as high as I needed to go, and after that is was obviously downhill with regard to smell. I've never thought that about any other oil, usually there is a broad higher range extending to my max preset of 710F/377C.

THC-A crystal pics via the little digital camera shown in the last post. The yellow globs in the crystal pics are the much larger pieces, same stuff.

Went out and spent more time with the crystals, I'm a THC addict, parfum terpenes are for wussies.

Spoons like snow, the rocks break up easily without mess, but the dust doesn't stick to your fingers - what clings is just a dry powder when you rub your fingers together. And when you do rub your fingers together firmly, putting some sweat and body oil into it, you can still feel 'grit.'

Btw, it oft times 'pops' depending on the size of the chunk and the temp, leaves flakes behind...

[SkyHighLer]

I much prefer the 99.99% crystals to even this 96% flake.

Doesn't take much to drag down the clarity of the high imo, you want to dream, add the terpenes back in.

Do anyone could write the hole process again, ive got the part of the slow evaporative crystallization and the concept of Column Vacuum Chromatography as well, i can have access to all kind of machine, could anyone help me please?
