![]() ![]() One is because mason jars are made out of glass so they can break. However, some processors will choose to grow diamonds in a ‘diamond miner’. This is because jars are inexpensive, small, and transparent. Miners vs Jars (Pressure): Diamonds are most often grown in mason jars. If you apply a vacuum, you will make a mess and create sugar. It’s important that the lid of your jar is on snuggly or you won’t be able to build pressure and all your solvent will evaporate. THCA diamonds seem to grow best around 27c-30c after their initial crash. Then it goes into the vac oven for 1-2 weeks at relatively low temperature. Temperature: Most of the year I do my initial evap at room temperature – low and slow. Not sure how well it works, but I like the idea. I’ve heard of people laser etching the bottom plate of their diamond miner for nucleation points. You don’t want to try to force your diamonds to crash by agitation as this will create too many points of nucleation and you will get sugar, or at best, sand. This seed will act as a nucleation point. Make sure enough solvent has evaporated before you do this or you’ll just dissolve a good diamond. If not you can throw some pre-existing THCA crystals into your solution. Seeding & nucleation: Ideally the step above will help seed your solution. (Think growing sugar crystals or evaporating salt from sea-water.) Your solution should start to look a bit thick when you cap it, almost like a syrup. You can reduce solubility by evaporation until solubility is reduced to a point where diamonds start to nucleate then grow. THCA crashes out of solution when the % of THCA is at or above the saturation point of the solution. After your cold crash you will evaporate about half of your remaining solvent, until it becomes viscous. Saturation Point: This seems to be the most important factor. Without pressure, your seeds may float to the top and negate the benefits of the cold crash. Adding nitrogen pressure should keep your crystal layer on the bottom of your jar/miner. This should help seed your solution and increase crystal growth and speed. You will then let the jar/miner return to room temp, and your crystals will melt. You should have white, spherical crystals blooming on the sides of the jar. Place your mason jar or diamond miner in a dry ice slurry or lab freezer for 1-2 days. This step happens right after your pour-off before any solvent gets evaporated. When you have about 1000ml of solvent left, pour your solution into your pre-chilled vessel/s of choice ⅔ of the way full.Ĭold Crash: So I’m not sure exactly how much the cold crash actually helps, but it looks really cool. ![]() Pour Off: After running very cold solvent at a 10:1 ratio, recover most of your solvent as usual. As you dab your shatter onto the hot surface, you will inhale the vapor.Overview: Separating THCA and terpene fraction via evaporation crystallization ![]() The shatter will rapidly vaporize upon contact with the hot surface. When dabbing, pieces of shatter are applied or “dabbed” onto a hot surface. As the atomizer heats your shatter, it will quickly melt and turn to vapor, which you will then inhale.ĭabbing is the more traditional way to use marijuana shatter. To vape shatter, you’ll add your shatter to your vape’s heating chamber. These vapes have an atomizer that will rapidly heat, bringing your shatter to its vaporization point. To use shatter in a vape pen, you’ll want to be sure that it is designed to be used with marijuana extracts like shatter. Marijuana extracts like shatter are an efficient, smoke-free way to consume cannabis. Shatter is vaporized or “dabbed” by consumers from a pen or special water pipe called a dab rig. While cannabis flower may sit around 30% THC, shatter may test upward of 80% to 90% THC. Shatter has a reputation for being potent, though it can range in potency depending on the chemical composition of the source plant. Although shatter is popularly believed to be more pure than other extracts, this is not always true. Shatter is a concentrate that is named for its glass-like consistency that shatters, when broken apart. It is quite effective against muscle spasms as well. The strain looks beautiful due to its sparkling condensed buds, which also have a very strong aroma. It can also make you euphoric and lazy which means it is perfect for a lazy day off. This allows you to fall into a desired state of laziness. It relaxes the entire body instead of just the mind. Shatter – Diamond OG is a very potent, long lasting strain.
