BHO diamond mining produces crystallized THCa from hydrocarbon extracts through controlled supersaturation in a sealed vessel. Starting material above 70% THCa crystallizes reliably at 24-29C (75-85F) over 14-28 days. Typical yield: 40-60% of live resin mass converts to diamonds at a 70/30 butane/propane blend extracted at -40C to -60C. Failure rate doubles when starting THCa [...]

Four extraction methods dominate commercial cannabis processing: hydrocarbon (BHO), ethanol, supercritical CO2, and solventless (rosin press). At production scale, BHO delivers 18-24% yield from 24% THC flower at $0.15-0.30/gram processing cost, producing the widest product range (shatter, budder, live resin, diamonds). Ethanol processes 100-500 lbs/day at $0.08-0.15/gram but strips terpenes at rates above 30-40%, requiring [...]

Cannabis oil is a concentrated extract made from the cannabis plant. It is typically made by extracting the active compounds from the plant, such as cannabinoids (such as THC and CBD) and terpenes, and then diluting them in a carrier oil. Cannabis oil can be used for a variety of purposes, including medicinal use, recreational [...]
