Why Using 190 Proof Grain Alcohol is the Best Solvent

If you are looking for a way into the marijuana industry concentrates such as wax, budders, and oils may be the way to go. Each of these concentrates can have a different potency level, consistencies, and tastes which makes it a whole other process than growing the plant.  Picking your strain for the process is extremely important as well as which extraction method to use.  (Ethanol, Co2, etc) The amount of concentrate you get from cannabis is the sought after trait in extraction purposes. Typically it takes 7 grams to get 1 gram of wax or shatter, so it makes more sense to use strains with high amount of THC and less plant material. You really want to be focused on resin glands and the trichrome heads especially for wax and shatter. An indica, that is dense and frosty, compared to a sativa, that can sometimes be more stretchy, is recommended. The trichrome is so important because it can detect the best extraction process for a particular strain. If they feel brittle, they are better for mechanical extraction; if they are oily, they are better for solvent extraction. (Ethanol) For example, “If your final product is a rosin which is produced through mechanical extraction, you’ll want strains with brittle trichromes. If your final product is a butane hash oil which is manufactured using the solvent extraction, you’ll want strains that are oily. Practice makes perfect, the best way to see is do an actual extraction process. When trichromes and terpenes work together marijuana’s effect on you is better. Terpenes enhance the color and improve the impact of cannabinoids on users. Some unlock human endocannabinoid receptors which have a faster uptake of THC. Let’s say we removed the terpenes from wax or shatter during the distillery process, the THC purity would be at 90% with no flavor what so ever. Most people using wax and shatter are looking for a nice flower profile regardless if its 60% wax or 80% wax. Before however consumers usually leaned towards the “fuel” strains, (Sour Diesel and OG’s) and now it’s more of a citrus flavors, (Sour Tangie and Lemon Jah-Goo) they crave.
