Newbie here, 58years young. I thought I'd share a recent success I had when making a thc tincture. After reading and watching many recipes for washing flower to make RSO, I thought to combine 2 ideas to get to a better and quicker yield to my canna-oil, would love your thoughts on this.
I decarbed 7 grams of flower and washed it for several minutes in a mason jar with ISO. Poured and strained this into a pirex measuring cup which I set into my crock pot on low heat to evaporate the ISO. After most of ISO had evaporated, I included a cup of coconut oil and mixed well then let sit in crock pot to finish cooking off any residual ISO. I believe the potency and yield may be higher than when I just cook the flower with coco oil because the ISO wash would extract more resin and thus THC/CBD etc.
Anyone have thoughts on using an alcohol wash first when creating canna-oil?
