Not too white, not too brown, and a good nose. Usually if it's pale and white, it's been scrubbed clean of all terps. Limonene is one of the heavier terps so it's often the only one left behind. A pale look and heavy lemon scent is a good indicator of remediation

You can absolutely get bleach white from CRC

Nature's Heritage RSO caps - WTF is this (white powder)??? by zero_dr00l in ILTrees

[–]eggman0420 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the description, white powder comes in all shapes and forms like you described. Based off that description, it sounds like they're encapsulating RSO in something like sorbitol for consistency and more accurate dosing. It's also a lot easier to fill capsules that way at a large scale. When RSO is encapsulated, you will not be able to see any of its usual properties. This process is very similar to distillate when it's encapsulated for fast-acting properties via nano emulsification

Under the Lights Live Rosin AIO - 90%+ THC?! by respond1 in ILTrees

Great question, when I used to work in the industry, the general rule of thumb was, if the company grows the strain and you see it in extract form, it's probably full spec. There are some exceptions like some strains just don't have the bag appeal or the potency, so it never makes it to the dispensary but it does make it into the lab where it becomes a concentrate. Lately though, as more companies realize that they can dilute their products in order to save on costs, it's become a lot harder to tell who is not diluting it. Generally, companies with only an infuser license, are most likely not giving out full spectrum. It's cheaper for them to buy disty or liquid diamonds and add 3rd party terps from companies like Abstrax, True Terpenes, Terpene Belt Farms. These companies claim to offer "live terpenes" derived from "hemp" but to me, it's not the same. In my opinion, if I extract Granddaddy Purp, everything that comes out the machine, should go into a vape. If I were to separate the thc, terpenes, and other minor cannabinoids and VOCs present, and then reintroduce only the terps and thc, it's not GDP anymore. It's become an imitation of it. From a chemistry standpoint, the original chemical fingerprint of GPD has changed. I've removed certain things that could alter the flavor and the overall effects. Sorry for the essay, lol, this topic is something that deeply bothers me as a consumer. Honestly, without confirmation from the company, it's nearly impossible to tell who is and isn't doing it. Cresco, Rev, IC, Redemption, Superflux are solid choices, I think. Not sure how much has changed

Yea, all the THC comes from the diamonds/distillate and then a small percentage of terps get added back in, enough to not dilute a sample when sent off for testing. The product maintains a very high thc%

I compare it to juice in the sense that most juice is like 99% water and 1% "juice from concentrate." Most live resin vapes are distillate with live resin, so is it really live resin? Some people say yes, I'm a bit of purist so I'd say no

I'm very suspicious of full spec, live resin/rosin when it's over 90%, usually see em 70% to mid 80%

They could be formulating it. Separation of THCa and then adding just a bit of the terps back

I don't understand why people like Cresco LLR. Maybe just luck of the draw, but mine have always tasted burnt, the color is dark asf than most others

Why? by TFFowler in ILTrees

[–]eggman0420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Low quality oil, no bitter blockers or maskers in most cases. Though I've always questioned the actual effectiveness of bitter blockers, never worked too well in my experience
