Next batch I can try this. Can't see it hurting anything. I'll start with a 24 hr soak and work up from there.
Only concern with a long pre-soak is mold etc.
Just soak in oil-no water.

Now are these samples to be tested with the tcheck?Yesterday I picked apart 50 grams that were harvested, washed and stored in the fridge for about two days.
Next I heated a jar of coconut oil and added 200 grams to the buds and heated it on a warming burner to about 120F and removed it from the heat. After breakfast out, I reheated it to about 120 while the oven warmed up.
Sample 1was taken after 2hr in warm oil at 80-130, average 95.
It went into a 205 oven. After about an hour the oil temperature was about 190 and I started to get some bubbles. I slowly increased the oven temp to 230 and the oil temp leveled off around 197-199 for about half an hour then it started to rise.
At 203 and 2 hours after the first sample I took sample 2.
I increased the oven temp to 250 and oil temp increased to 208 and stayed there for about an hour. I took sample 3 100 minutes after the last sample.
After another 100 minutes the temperature went to 212, the beaker volume was reduced by about 20ml and the plant material had shrunk noticeably. 30 minutes later the oil was 218 and I was only getting CO2 bubbles.
I decided to turn the oven down to 220. That was a mistake. The oil temp dropped so I went back to 250. It was about 45 min before I had the oil back to 218.
I continued with the 250 oven temp until the decarb bubbles had nearly stopped and checked the oil temp at 235. This is where I took sample 4.
I fussed with it most of the day not knowing what to expect. What I did not get, was the sudden rapid boiling with the water added process. So, this way of infusion takes very little watching.
I have no idea how efficient the infusion is. The oil looks rather clean compared to some photos I have seen of the open boil FHO method.
I have guest here for a few hours. I will post more tonight.

Hey all
Ive finished, kinda, some testing on Flowers and Oils with the Cannalytics Supply TLC test Kit. Its not to good for Oils but does give some decent results with Flowers
Her is a link to My Journal and the Post
Cannalytics Supply Testing
Now are these samples to be tested with the tcheck?
That's some great samples to test indeed, excited to see how they pan out
Wonder if this is because most of the FHO batches are made using an immersion blender to grind the bud into the oil. It seems to leave small particles with the oil that don't get strained out with cheesecloth and the like. Only way I have found to get rid of it is to leave the oil alone to let the small particles settle. Then, I can use a glass pipette with a pump to remove the clean oil from the top.
Yes, I would like to setup any tests that we can think of that a tCheck would tell us something.
I would suggest a baseline be established by testing the olive oil by itself to see if there is a reading
Interesting stuff Canyon. I'll be back when I have time to fully absorb. I wish we had thought to do a $40 cannabinoid test on one of those. That would have been perfect to test the tcheck against.

Agree %I wish I could say anytime but let's just see how we can get this going. Takes too much time and care to grow something of this nature. We need to extract it to its fullest.
