What sort of mad scientist contraption is this?

I only know because of Bill Nye the Science Guy. Season 2 episode 1 of Bill Nye Saves the World: marijuana

One globe collects THC and one globe collects CBD

@Raoul Duke that my friend is a pope scientific thin film molecular seperator. The vessel at the very top of the pic has crude co2 oil which is heated up to make it flow down the tube into the middle part which you cant see because it is wrapped in a heating collar. The temperature in this part is very precise and corresponds to the vacuum level in the machine and the precise point at which cannabis alkaloids vaporize. These alkaloids are condensed in an inner shaft called the cold finger and fall down the inner tube to the middle flask. You can see the golden material flowing into the flask in the picture, this is raw distillate. Meanwhile in that heated center chamber, wiper blades are pushing everything else against the outer wall where it falls down a different tube into the closest flask in the picture. This is the leftover organic sludge from the separation and it is called raffinate. Next to the heated chamber, in the back, is another system called a frederick condenser. Only substances that vaporize at a very low temperature will enter this area where they are turned back into a watery light green liquid and collected in the furthest vessel. This is a concentration of smells, flavors and magical entourage effects called terpene water.

Ps. Sorry about the slow response time, been in mexico.

Starting to look like a cannabis pot farm instead of a plastic pot farm.

No worries about the slow response. Thanks for the in depth explanation, very cool!

Interesting, thanks for sharing. What do you do with the terpene water, is there a market for it?

That's many legal states, actually. The biggest gripe I've heard from commercial growers (mostly indoors) is that the cost of production is becoming higher than the wholesale price dispensaries are willing to pay (there's just so much pot, it's a buyers market.) So the dispensaries will buy wholesale pounds for next to nothing, then turn around and sell an ounce from $100-300 or more.

So the dispensary owners are making BANK while the growing/production side is left to fight for scraps. That's why Tom with Tom's Tumbler mentioned on our last interview that he thought small scale cultivation was going to be in trouble; because soon it's going to be only large scale operations that will be able to keep up with the cost.

Interesting... What some other commercial seasonal industries such as seafood as an example do when the market is flooded; is to warehouse their product until the volume dries up and the prices go up. I'm speaking of tonnage of product however and global industries. I would think the same could be true for cannabis but it would only be the large commercial operations that would be able to survive that scenario.

Are you running coco or soil there? Sick irrigation setup!

Why all the tarp on the ground?

Hope things are cruising along nicely for you.
