What is the difference between extracting RSO and FECO?

The primary distinction between FECO (Full Extract Cannabis Oil) and RSO (Rick Simpson Oil) lies in the solvent used during the extraction process to isolate cannabinoids from the plant material.

FECO: This oil is typically extracted using ethanol (grain alcohol).
RSO: Isopropyl alcohol is commonly used for RSO extraction, primarily due to its affordability and accessibility. However, it’s important to note that isopropyl alcohol use is generally not recommended for consumption.

It’s worth mentioning that both

How to reduce the taste of the decarboxylated product in my tincture?

This method prioritizes taste and utilizes freezing to achieve a clean extraction:

Preparation: Begin by separately freezing your decarboxylated cannabis and the alcohol. This freezing step helps break off the trichomes (the resin glands containing cannabinoids) while minimizing chlorophyll extraction (which can contribute to an unpleasant taste). Freeze for at least 60 minutes.
Extraction: Place the frozen cannabis in the beaker and pour enough chilled alcohol over it to fully submerge the plant material. Stir the mixture thoroughly for several minutes.
Cold Steeping: Cover the beaker with the flat lid and place it in the coldest area of your freezer (usually the back). Let the mixture steep for an extended period, ideally 5 days. During this time, remove the beaker and stir the mixture daily.
Filtration & Evaporation: After the steeping period, filter out the plant material using the filter lid. Finally, use the POT’s “Evaporation” function to evaporate the alcohol and concentrate the extract, resulting in a high-quality tincture with minimal unwanted flavors.

The Shelf Life of Cannabis Infusions: Oil, Butter and Tinctures

The shelf life of cannabis-infused products depends on the type of product and how you store it. Here’s a breakdown:

Cannabis Oil: Generally stays fresh for 6 months to a year under ideal conditions (cool, dark, dry place, away from light and heat). Always check for changes in smell, taste, and appearance before use to ensure quality
Cannabis Butter: Has a shorter shelf life. In the refrigerator, it lasts about 1-2 weeks before quality and flavor degrade. Freezing extends its lifespan to up to 6 months.
Cannabis Tinctures: Boast an impressive shelf life (up to 10 years!) when stored properly (sealed, cool, dark place). The alcohol acts as a preservative, slowing down cannabinoid breakdown. Always check for changes in smell, taste, or appearance before use for safety and efficacy.

Can I Store Decarboxylated Cannabis for Future Use?

Decarboxylated cannabis, cannabis that has been heated to activate its cannabinoids, can be stored for later use:

Storage Method: Use an airtight container to prevent air and moisture exposure.
Location: Store in a cool, dark location to maintain potency
Labeling: Label the container with the decarboxylation date to track storage duration.
Shelf Life: Decarboxylated cannabis can last several months to a year without significant potency loss, provided proper storage conditions are maintained.
Moisture Caution: Condensation may occur during decarboxylation. Ensure your cannabis is completely dry before storage to prevent mold growth and quality decline.

Terpenes: What Are They and Why Are They Important?

Terpenes are fragrant organic compounds found in cannabis and many other plants. They contribute significantly to the:

Aroma: Different terpenes create the unique scent profiles of various cannabis strains.
Flavor: Terpenes play a major role in shaping the taste of cannabis.
Effects: Terpenes interact with cannabinoids (like THC and CBD) to influence the overall effects and potential therapeutic benefits of cannabis.

Keeping Terpenes Alive During Infusion

When infusing or extracting cannabis with tools like the POT by NOIDS, preserving terpenes is a priority. Techniques like slow heating and optimized infusion conditions help retain these valuable compounds. However, it’s important to remember that terpenes are heat-sensitive, and some may be lost during the process, even at room temperature. Despite this, the POT by NOIDS aims to minimize terpene loss during infusion, potentially enhancing the taste and effects of your cannabis creations.

Lecithin in Cannabis Infusions: What You Need to Know

What is lecithin?

Lecithin is a natural emulsifier often added to cannabis butter or oil.

Why should I use lecithin in edibles?

Enhanced absorption: It helps your body absorb cannabinoids like THC and CBD more efficiently.
Better texture: It blends oil and water smoothly, improving consistency and mouthfeel.
Even potency: It ensures cannabinoids are evenly distributed, leading to more consistent dosing.

Does it make edibles stronger?

Potentially. Improved absorption can lead to a stronger, more noticeable effect.

What Is CBN (Cannabinol)?

What is CBN?

A mildly psychoactive cannabinoid formed as THC ages and breaks down.

How is it made?

Through natural degradation (light, heat, air) or accelerated methods like UV exposure.

What are the benefits?

CBN may aid sleep, relaxation, pain relief, and reduce inflammation or anxiety.
Oil vs. Concentrate?

CBN Oil: Infused into carrier oil after THC breakdown.
CBN Concentrate: Extracted using ethanol, then evaporated to isolate CBN.

  27. Yes, if basic safety guidelines are followed:

My strain has both CBD and THC, should I decarboxylate twice with both settings?

Once is enough! You only need to decarboxylate your herb once. Here’s a recommendation for choosing the settings:

CBD-dominant strain (over 10% CBD): Use the “CBD Decarb” and “CBD Infuse”
functions. This ensures both CBD and THC are fully activated and infused. A small amount of THC might convert to CBN during this process, especially if your strain has a high THC content.
THC-dominant strain: Use the general “Decarb” and “Infuse” functions. This
guarantees complete THC activation and infusion while preventing its conversion to CBN. However, this setting might leave a small amount of inactive CBD-a in the final product if your strain is high in CBD.

Do I need to decarb my herb before infusing it?

Decarboxylation is an optional step, but recommended for creating potent cannabis-infused butter or oil. It essentially activates the beneficial compounds present in the herb. For example, THCA converts to THC and CBDA turns into CBD when exposed to heat. Without decarboxylation, your infused product might not reach its full potency. You can also choose to decarboxylate the concentrate during the extraction process. For a visual guide, check out the

decarboxylation video

What is the smallest amount of herb needed for decarboxylation with POT by NOIDS?

Decarboxylation for Small Herb Quantities: There’s no minimum amount required for successful decarboxylation with the POT by NOIDS. However, smaller quantities do take longer to process. Here’s a tip to reduce the total cooking time by about 30 minutes to 1 hour when decarboxylating less than 10 grams of THC herb:

Use the filter set with the filter pushed down 1 cm above the herb instead of the flat lid. This reduces the airspace within the beaker, which in turn shortens the cooking time.

Can I decarboxylate concentrate, hash, rosin with POT by NOIDS?

Absolutely! Placing your concentrate in a small, heat-resistant silicone container during decarboxylation is a great recommendation. This simplifies the collection process afterwards, making it easier to handle the concentrate.

Can I use POT by NOIDS to make FECO (Full Extract Canna Oil)?

While specific instructions may vary, here’s a simplified overview of the FECO production process:

Decarboxylation: Begin by decarboxylating your plant material. You can utilize the “Decarb” function on the POT by NOIDS, selecting either the CBD or non-CBD setting depending on your strain.
Ethanol Infusion: Once decarboxylated, infuse the plant material in high-proof ethanol (ideally, over 190 proof or 95%) at room temperature for a minimum of 3 hours.
Filtration: Separate the plant material from the ethanol using a filter.
Ethanol Evaporation: Employ the “Evaporation” function on the POT by NOIDS to evaporate the ethanol from the filtered solution. This will concentrate the cannabinoids, resulting in your FECO.

For a more detailed visual guide, you can check the instruction video about FECO production.

Can I use isopropanol instead of ethanol for the Extract function?

Safety First: Food-Grade Ethanol Only! Never use isopropyl alcohol for consumption purposes! It can be dangerous. Always choose food-grade ethanol when creating your extracts.

Can I use POT by NOIDS to infuse Honey?

Yes, you can infuse honey using the POT by NOIDS! However, high heat can destroy the beneficial enzymes in honey. Here’s a recommended method for honey infusion:

1. Decarboxylate: Begin by decarboxylating your cannabis material.

2. Coconut Oil Infusion: Infuse the decarboxylated cannabis in coconut oil.

3. Honey Mixture: While the infused coconut oil is still warm and liquid, incorporate it into your honey.

4. Thorough Mixing: Stir the mixture well to ensure the infused oil is fully absorbed by the honey.

Can I cook kitchen herbs and spices in my POT by NOIDS?

Yes, definitely. Remember, this is for oil-based infusions only. Water infusions are not recommended with the POT by NOIDS because water can start to boil and evaporates at the operating temperatures.

Which oil or butter should I use for infusion?

The POT by NOIDS works seamlessly with a variety of edible oils and butter. If you are looking for quick guide to find the most suitable:

Which Oil or Butter Should I Use for My Canna Infusions?

Can i infuse vegetable glycerin? (VG)

Yes you can directly infuse vegetable glycerin (VG), enabling the creation of various cannabis-infused products like vape concentrates. However, it’s worth noting that VG has relatively low absorption efficiency compared to other carriers.

Alternative carriers such as medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil, ethanol, or propylene glycol (PG) are often preferred.

Residual Liquid After Evaporation

Here’s a tip for minimizing leftover ethanol during the evaporation process:

Filter Lid Adjustment: While using the filter lid with its mesh screen and condenser is standard practice, you might consider removing the metal filter plate before evaporation. This modification allows for improved airflow through the condenser, reducing the chance of ethanol vapor condensing back into the beaker and becoming trapped as liquid.

Eliminating the filter plate creates a clearer pathway for vapors to travel through the condenser. Looking for a more Visual Guide:

How to Get FECO Out of The Beaker After Evaporation

Here are a couple of recommended methods for a smooth retrieval process:

Freezing Method: Simply place the beaker containing your FECO in the freezer for a few hours. The freezing temperatures will solidify the extract, making it easier to remove from the beaker. Once frozen, you can easily scoop out the FECO or use a spatula for a cleaner extraction.
Re-Liquefaction with Ethanol: Alternatively, you can add a small amount of fresh ethanol back into the beaker with the remaining FECO. The ethanol will help re-liquefy the extract, allowing you to easily pour it onto the flat lid. The flat lid, being made of non-stick silicone, is particularly useful in this scenario. Once poured onto the flat lid, you can let the remaining ethanol evaporate at room temperature, leaving behind your concentrated FECO residue which can be easily collected.

Indica vs. Sativa in Edibles

Indica or Sativa—does it matter when cooking?
Yes! It affects the experience.

Indica:
Calming and relaxing — ideal for evening edibles or sleep aids.

Sativa:
Uplifting and energizing — great for daytime use or creativity boosts.

Why choose carefully?
The strain type shapes the effects of your infused foods and drinks.

Can You Use Cannabis Stems and Roots?

Do stems and roots contain cannabinoids?
Very little—unlike buds, they’re low in THC and CBD.

What do they contain?
They have terpenes (for aroma) and sterols (with possible health benefits).

Best use?
Not great for edibles, but can be used to make tinctures.
