Thanks for the rep @Dale's Proper Bud, hit me up any time if more details of what I did would help.
One detail that might be relevant is that oxygen is needed for the conversion of THC, and this may mean that decarbing dried flower in a filled vessel like the Ardent might be less effective than what I did. When I decarbed the rosin, it was in an open silicone loaf pan, maybe half a cm deep, and in a good sized oven, so very exposed to oxygen. That could prove to be a very different environment than an Ardent stuffed full of dry flower. If I was trying this with flower, I would lay the flower out in a single layer rather than fill a container tight, but that gets us back to the smell problem. My setup is different because I do the decarb in a large pressure cooker that I have converted into a decarb/infusion/still machine. With the top on, there is little smell, and I do the deed in the shop in the basement anyway, so no biggie.
Good luck with it, I hope you make some great meds.
