Decarboxylator machine

[alltatup]

MY MACHINE IS SHIPPING TOMORROW!!! So next week I'll be decarbing some trim and making some tincture. I will also try decarbing some bud that's drying.

Madman960 Check out this information: http://www.ardentcannabis.com/educat...xylation-myths

They have performed scientific measurements of cannabinoids before and after decarbing by various methods--oven, etc. I find it all quite illuminating.

Precision Madman. Decarbing turns THCa into THC which is where the " buzz" comes from. Oven is ok but Im hoping the Nova will get a consistent product every time that is decarboxylated perfectly. It eliminates the guesswork as to whether Im doing everything correctly.

[Madman960]

What's the difference between decarbing in the oven is the Nova? Even though I have read about decarbing, I don't fully understand the importance.

Looks like it just got pushed back again to Nov 20th.

From their CS Dept. I was asking if the 10th was the ship or receive date. The date has also changed on the website.

"We are currently in pre-order for units arriving November 20th, at which point we get your unit on its way to you. Domestic addresses generally arrive within a few days, and we of course send you tracking information the moment we have it."

DELIVERY DATE MOVED TO NOV. 10

I received an email from Ardent this morning, and the delivery date has been pushed forward. It doesn't matter to me because I won't be harvesting for another 3-4 weeks. The good news included in the email was that high CBD strains that also have more than a minimum of THC in them will not need two runs through the machine, but will decarb in one run:

"It is in fact possible to decarb CBD with the same parameters as THC. The determining factor in CBDa decarb is actually whether THCa is also present. Where THCa is present, even where CBDa is dominant, CBDa and THCa will decarb simultaneously and at the precision temps that work for conversion to THC. It is only where THCa is minimal or not present that CBDa may require longer (2 cycle) processing."

This is very good news for me.

Yes. It gets hot enough to do a some decarboxylation, so you can choose not to decarb, but your resulting butter will be much stronger if you cook the buds in the oven at a low heat first. The machine comes with instructions with the recommended time and temperature to do that with.

GanjaGed I think that's the new order arrival date. I still expect mine on the 30th of this month.

[GanjaGed]

I just looked on the site because I was going to order one, looks like it's been pushed back to Nov. 11th

[GanjaGed]

Maybe I'm mistaken but I thought with the MagicButter machine you still had to decarb outside of it.

Thanks Jarhead, I'll look into it.

hey guys Camk and king fish if you both have asthma get yourself some Mullein its a herb you can get or pick it will really help with your asthma, our granddaughter was on a nebulizer everyday. we gave her some Mullein tea and she went from daily use of nebulizer to once a week if at all

[Madman960]
