110 C for 110 min equates to 230 F for 110 min for us non-metric users.pop22 did some more digging up on decarbing,easy to remember for the uk people 110c for 110 minutes.if i got that wrong i will blame being stoned.
Am i understanding correctly that any of these temp/time combos will have the same decarbed result if the oven doesn't fluctuate too much .. i may be wrong but, isnt there a "sweet spot" of time temp that we are looking for where the decarb process is optimized?? The goal should be best temp/time for best potency right? There may be certain situations where maybe the highest THC content is not desired but certain cbd levels, in which case, knowing how the temp/time curve affects those levels would be most important for a final product... lemme throw this out there... could a high thc strain be decarbed to rhe point that the only thing left is cbd, i know this is prolly rhetorical because if a high cbd level is needes, you should start with a high cbd/low rhc strain, but in theory, would that be correct????110 C for 110 min equates to 230 F for 110 min for us non-metric users.
Decarb can happen at a variety of time/temp combos. Here are a few:
212 F 120 min
230 F 60 min (110 min is much too long)
240 F 40 min
248 F 30 min
266 F 16 min
284 F 8 min
Length of time needed to decarb is very temperature dependent.
Note the 33% increase in time when comparing 240 F with 248 F.
Most ovens won't get it exactly right, because temps can fluctuate wildly, but they can come close.
I bought the Ardent Lift decarboxlyator (clone of Nova) to avoid this decarb hassle.

Awesome.. very interesting.. and this info comes at a time i need it most, I will be growing high cbd strains and will be extracting/reducing it to help my 12 yr old pup with age related RA and other pains. I welcome you to AFN .. and feel free to post extract/eth info, pics, processes here(in this thread) or you are welcome to start another.. we keep a good vibe so info can flow freely.... peaceYou are correct. There is no single best decarb time/temp combo, and they all work about the same.
For the same temp, cbd takes almost twice as much time to decarb as thc.
Careful with over-decarbing, because it will create more cbn. I once did a double decarb with a regular strain to see what effect cbn would have on me, and instead of making me sleepy like everyone says, it made me slightly jittery. Personally, I'd decarb a high cbd strain just like a regular strain, unless the ratio of cbd/thc is large. New research is discovering the value of un-decarbed thc-a and cbd-a, so having a mixture of cbd-a and cbd would suit me. We can also decarb high cbd, low thc strains and low cbd, high thc strains separately, then mix them.
